He's paid for his fanfare and he's getting old.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Why Marbury?&lt;BR/&gt;Honestly, how many people were actually surprised by his behavior?  If anything, you should have listed the Knicks ownership, or even management, in place of this.  The whole organization has been melting down for a few years now.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Why Pedro?&lt;BR/&gt;How are you surprised that a 36 year old pitcher with recent injury concerns might be not so reliable to pitch consistently?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Why Favre?&lt;BR/&gt;He was a year past leading the league in interceptions.  Why are you so surprised that he did it again?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I don't know if you realize it, but New York teams throw ridiculous amounts of money at players just because they have it.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The problem with this list is that you have too much a New York bias, and maybe "you're not that big of a sports fan," but I think if you pulled your head out of the back of your pants you would be able to realize that the true top 50 "sports thieves of the year" are all on New York teams.  They sign all the big names and yet somehow they don't really live up to expectations.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The rest of the list is full of things that a million people have said before.  There is no creativity whatsoever.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I apologize, but reading this list pissed me off more than you can understand</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/16710365562145490/comments/default/4567593698667106845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/16710365562145490/comments/default/4567593698667106845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/12/top-12-sports-thieves-of-2008.html?showComment=1230865500000#c4567593698667106845' title=''/><author><name>Chri534</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11513993561105374455</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/12/top-12-sports-thieves-of-2008.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-16710365562145490' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/posts/default/16710365562145490' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-1906041347224485939</id><published>2008-12-30T13:25:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-30T13:25:00.000-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Yeah, that Perdo Martinez was a total waste of mon...</title><content type='html'>Yeah, that Perdo Martinez was a total waste of money.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/16710365562145490/comments/default/1906041347224485939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/16710365562145490/comments/default/1906041347224485939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/12/top-12-sports-thieves-of-2008.html?showComment=1230665100000#c1906041347224485939' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2008/12/top-12-sports-thieves-of-2008.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-16710365562145490' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/posts/default/16710365562145490' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
