This list sucks.

[IamMedellin]

[EmpireWF]

Ain't that the truth.

How is A-Rod more dirty (I presume for that one stupid play with Arroyo) than Hines Ward, James Harrison, Cortland Finnegan, Gilbert Yvel, Rodney Harrison and Roy Williams?

For those who don't know, Gilbert Yvel is a fighter who once attacked a referee in Europe and eyegouged an opponent in Japan. He's been okay in recent years but he sucks as a fighter now.

[FirstTimer]

Most of these guys aren't even dirty players. They are just annoying assholes.

[EmpireWF]

lmao @ Ty Cobb being #16

[Kuzzy Powers]

Antonio Margarito needs to be much higher on this list.

[Senser81]

If Sammy Sosa is on the list, then how is Barry Bonds not #1?

[Maize]

Where's Joey Kocur or Bob Probert? /homerism

Strange list, not sure I agree with the ratings of any player listed. Both Harrisons should be Top 25.

[jeffx]

No Conrad Dobler? Greg Kite? M.L. Carr? Dennis Awtrey?

[bucky]

hahaha....A figure skater in the top 10.

This list makes football players look like wusses.

[steeljake]

how the fuck is hines ward a dirty player? bitchass db's need to man up.
