- Ian howfield - oilers kicker from 91 or 92 that missed 3 pats in one game. guy was an underwear model or some ****. i believe it also prompted the joke "______ tried to commit suicide but he missed the chair."



- calvin murphy - too many reasons to list. guy was absolutely the most annoying announcer of all time, constantly pandering trying to get himself in the hall. only reason he was an announcer was b/c rudy found him living in his car. most egotistical sports personality in houston as well considering he wasn't really that good. not even going to get into the band garb he wore marching around twirling and whatnot.



- john mcmullen - stros owner before drayton



- bud adams - no explanation needed



- lidge - see puhols donkey



- kelvin cato - signed on speculation after a mediocre season for an unebleiveable amount. sucked afterwards prompting one of the greater lines in houston rap history: "somebody tell kelvin cato we want our money back....this is htown home of 2 drop top arenas."

Didn't Calvin also sexually assault one of his daughters or something? Or am I just spreading rumors here?

I would have said to add Eddie Griffin, b/c he really cost us a few years, but with him being dead now, it's hard for him to still be hated.

Think you could add Clemens to that list now?

good questions. i really have no clue about clemens. do you think he would be put in this group now?

i think murhpy was cleared in those charges.

He was cleared. He had Roger Clemens' lawyer (to tie both points together)

Is this true?

i believe rudy got him the color job when he was an assistant for chaney.

i've heard that and assumed it to be true b/c i can't picture CM doing anything on his own.

If I saw Lidge on the street, I would probably beat the **** out of him.

Solid list, ht. Well done.

Most of my buddies who are hardcore stros fans really hate this guy as well...

Puddy, how could you hate a guy who changes his batting stance EVERY SINGLE AT-BAT?!!?

puddy, good call on pippen.

Also, I would think Stevie Franchise would be on this list.....he basically sucked the life out of the Rockets while he was here.

Some good choices on here, but if you are looking for a #1 it is Bud Adams and it is not even close.

ht - ya Pippen tops the list of several of my friends w/ Ensberg a close 2nd. If you ever want to make CS mad, just call him an Ensberg lover.

Morgan plays with the Yanks now. Had an infield hit last night and dived head first into the bag.

I'm going to a Yankee's game in June. I will boo Ensberg if he plays.

And then the next week when the Yankees are here.

Why would Charles Barkely make the list? I dont necessarily hate him.

No way can you dislike Chuck.

1a. Bud Adams
1b. David Carr
2. John McMullen
3. Clemens

3a. Clemens
3b. Lidge

I don't know why you all are hating on Lidge. He didn't call himself out of the bullpen and blow save after save, 2 seasons after his head was permanantly invaded by Pooholes. Phil Garner should shoulder the blame for that as well as Drayton McClain.

My vote, after reading this board during CBB season, goes to Tom Penders' perm.

Don't hate Tmac. It's not his fault you got a Bud Light when you ordered Heineken...

Bud Adams. The end.

How about David Carr?

Actually Carlos Beltran is not too high on my list either.

bud adams in a landslide

Carr should definitely be on there

Although he never suited up....

Heineken sucks!

I gotta go with Bud Adams.

No other person on this list intentionally screwed the city of Houston like this a-hole.

That's why I went with Adams and Carr as 1a and 1b. No two people have done more to hurt single sport in the city than these two chumps.

but Puddy, the hair is sooo perfect. i can't possibly hate it

Easy to hate Barkely, he was a loser. Nothing I liked better than when the Rockets took out the Suns two years in a row.

As for Murphy...not that good? Dang! Guy was a very good player and then consider his heighth. Now, as an announcer, I could really care less about him, but as a player, I could never knock him.

Pippen is another guy I could not stand.

Not a big fan of this guy.
