My last countdown article http://bleacherreport.com/articles/37991-top-10-nhl-masks-of-all-time made for a good conversation piece, so I have decided to make another fun list for everyone to discuss whether they hate or love it.  The topic of choice this week is the "Top 10 Wimpiest Team Names in Sports."

 

10. Penguins (Pittsburgh—NHL)

Pittsburgh makes No. 10 on my list with their NHL team.  From what I know about Penguins (which is not too much), they are not a mean nor fierce animal.  In fact, I'd love to have a penguin for a pet—I think that would be pretty sweet.

The reason they're not closer to the top of the list is because the Penguins are able to withstand the harsh, cold winters down in the Antarctic, unlike other birds (penguins are a bird right? kind of?), like a duck who is not mighty.

Is that foreshadowing?  Keep reading to find out.

 

9. Cardinals (Arizona, St. Louis—NFL, MLB)

No. 9 was formerly the Browns.  However, while the name does sound wimpy, the Browns fans did give me some info that made me decide that it doesn't deserve the top ten.  So I went with the name Cardinals.

What's up with this?  There's a team named the Cardinals in both the MLB and NFL.  Can't we think of other names for a team other than this wimpy bird?  So I definitely think that Arizona and St. Louis deserve to make my team over Cleveland!

 

8. Reds (Cincinnati—MLB)

Well, I had to do some research on this team to find out what the heck a Red is.  I thought it might be a bird to add to the bird family living within MLB.  But I learned something today.  It turns out they used to be called the Red Stockings.  The fact that their name comes from a word like stockings get them into the eighth spot on my list.

Yes, the Red Sox got their name from the Red Stockings, but the Red Sox don't make my list, because Sox spelled with an "X" is pretty hardcore if you ask me.

 

7. Nuggets (Denver—NBA)

Nuggets.  As in chicken nuggets or what?  I honestly tried pretty hard (okay, not too hard) to find out the meaning of where the term comes from, and I found it was from the gold mines, golden nuggets, and such.  Although it's referring to gold, and that's pretty awesome stuff, it will remain on my list.

So if there are any Nugget fans out there who want to defend their team, go right ahead!  Until then, I'm just going to believe that Denver has one heck of a lot of McDonald's in their state, so much that they named their NBA franchise after them, since that's more funny then gold.

 

6. Jazz (Utah—NBA)

Named after a type of music that is known to be really laid back and not crazy makes me think that this basketball team must have a mellow attitude.  I mean, if this was in New Orleans (which it once was), I probably wouldn't make fun of it as much because it makes sense.  Although it would still be wimpy, it would still make sense!

However, it's wimpy and not really in a Jazz city, so it makes my list at No. 6.

 

5. Ducks (Anaheim—NHL)

I don't believe I have any reason to fear the animal known as the duck.  They were once mighty and feared, but now that they're only the Ducks, it's quite laughable.  They won the Stanley Cup as the Ducks—only the Ducks.  So now I can make fun of all the other NHL teams for letting the Ducks beat them!

No, just kidding.  They usually have a pretty good team, but they do play under a wimpy name.

 

4. Dolphins (Miami—NFL)

This one was a difficult one for me because I like Dolphins, and I know they are strong, smart, and can beat up on sharks.  However, the name of Dolphin does not make you think those things.  It makes you think of nice and gentle...which you don't want from an NFL team.

Last year they played like a stereotypical dolphin, as they were the worst team in the league.  So that is why they make my list of wimpy names.

 

3. Orioles (Baltimore—MLB)

How can I have a list of wimpy names and not have at least two of the birds from the many in the MLB?  So of all the teams named after birds in baseball, I picked the Oriole as the wimpiest.  I gave them a chance—I looked up the birds and I found this one to be the most un-manly of them all.

So how about Baltimore relocates into the slow-pitch softball league?  Only kidding.  Sorry for picking on you Baltimore, but one of the birds had to take one for the team.

 

2. Alouettes (Montreal—CFL)

Now I know most of the Americans probably won't even know of this team.  They are from the Canadian Football League and have one of the most sissy names I have heard of in sports and needed to be put on my list.

I love going to the Bomber games in Winnipeg and having everyone in the stadium cheer, "OHH I'd rather be a bomber than an (expletive) Alouette" in the tune of the famous Alouette children song.  A terrible name that could've been No. 1, but I decided against it.

 

Now lets get on to the No. 1 PICK.

Congratulations!

1. Angels (Los Angeles of Anaheim—MLB)

Before I get into explaining my pick, I'm just going to say that I almost didn't use this one because the names of the cities take too long to write.  I mean, do I have to explain why I chose this one to be my No. 1 selection?

Angels—it's a very wimpy name.  Angels are messengers of the almighty God, but they do not have the power of the Lord. Although angels can be frightning and powerful in their own way it just sounds peaceful, nice, and all that it takes to become No. 1 on my list of the Wimpiest Names.

 

So there goes my hobby for the day because it took me all day.  Hope you enjoyed it, and I can't wait to hear everyone disagree with all of my decisions!  So leave comments and have fun reading it over again and again.

 

Honorable Mention:

Browns (Cleveland—NFL)

Originally on my top ten list, the Browns were replaced by a more sissy name with the Cardinals. The name Browns comes from coach Paul Brown, and although that's kinda cool, the name of their football team is still Browns, and that's quite lame.

 

North Stars (Minnesota—NHL)

This wimpy team name almost made my list as the replacement for the Browns, but I decided to give them a break.  It doesn't sound wimpier than Cardinals, and when they got a new NHL team, they changed their team name to the Wild (which is a pretty awesome name).

  1. Very funny. I propose we change the Anaheim Ducks to the Orange County Cougars. The mascot could be an aging 40-50 year old woman with puffy lips, a mini skirt, high heels, and a thong.

    1. You just described half the fans you'll find inside the Honda Center at any given Ducks game... ;)

    2. Just near the glass where they can say "Look at meee!" while they walk to their seats. Up top, there are some serious hockey fans (like myself.)

    3. They're just trying to get Ryan Getzlaf's attention.

    4. Well, I wish they'd stop...Im trying to eat over here...

    5. how about top ten worst sports articles in history....

      10. tiger woods is finished ( after he failed to capture any major one year)

      9. Americans are favorites to win hockey gold ( nothing need be said here)

      8. American women heavy favorites to win hockey gold ( we all know about that one )

      7. Pats will go undefeated in 2007 - 08...( dolphins sad name and all still only team to do so)

      6. Ben Johnson did steroids Carl Lewis did not ( only americans believe this )

      5. Floyd Landis did steroids Lance Armstrong did not ( the french know more than americans do )

      4. Nascar is more popular than any motorsport ( more people watch one F-1 race, than the entire nascar season)

      3. The Mighty Ducks are not mighty ( they won the stanley cup)

      2. Basketball is more popular in Detroit than hockey ( the wings out drew the pistons by more than a 2 to 1 margin head to head during playoffs)

      1. Naming stupid monikers in sports ( there may be hundreds of stupid names...to try and list only ten is stupid...those fans love their beloved, cardinals, or ducks etc....once again...time for american journalists to shut up)

    6. yo, bartholomew, nascar is actually the most popular sport in america, u need to research this some more before you accuse a sport of being dumb

    7. I disagree with the Alouettes being on the list.
      Yes "Alouette" means goose, but if you've ever been attacked by a couple Canada Geese, you know that they are tough, nasty bastards.
      Swans are pretty much the only things that scare geese, and they have an even wimpier sounding name.

    8. 40 cars driving in circles 500 times. thats not a dumb sport at all........

    9. luckily bartholemew.... i am not american, i am canadian so i dont have to shut up!!

  2. Funny article. Alouette is definitely a horrible name. A lark???

    The Denver Nuggets used to have a pick their logo I think, making it clear that they were gold nuggets (similar to the 49ers).

    The Cleveland Browns, according to Wikipedia, were named after Joe Lewis "the Brown Bomber," making their name one of my new favorites (if it's true). I'm not sure where they got the Dawg Pound from.

    The San Jose Sharks are already a mean name, but they still felt the need to make the Shark logo look meaner, maybe logos with more attitude would benefit these 10 teams.

    1. Thanks for filling me in on the nuggets and the browns, becasue i was quite sure. glad you both liked it and thought it was funny.

    2. Don't trust Wikipedia. The Browns were named after Paul Brown, not after Joe Louis.

    3. doh! Thanks, Lawrence.

  3. Heads up. It is my understanding that the nugget refers to gold nuggets.

    1. lol thanks, but it still sounds ridicoulous i think!! thats what i was thinking it meant but i didnt want to write that in case it was wrong lol

  4. Im sure you do, but you do know that the Jazz started in New Orleans?

    1. Yes I knew the Jazz did start there, but dont you think once they moved the team they should of changed the name?

  5. Yeah about the Utah Jazz thing...They used to be in New Orleans until their owner moved them in 1979, but they just kept the name. Just thought Id pass that along, seeing as how that kind of changes things a bit

  6. Also, the Browns are named after a person. Can't remember exactly who it is.

    1. Paul Brown, Ohio Football Demigod, who not only coached the Buckeyes to their first NC (1942) but also founded/coached the Cincinnati Bengals and built up a huge following at Massillion High in NE Ohio

  7. Good article though. You've promted an article I want to write about unoriginal team names: bulldogs, trojans, tigers, etc.

    1. can not wait to read it tyler! should be a funny read

  8. I think this is funny! im getting so many different responses for what people beleive the sports teams are named after, love it keep them comming

  9. great article

    1. Thanks Jon!

  10. Maple Leafs, Red Wings, Blues, Red Sox, White Sox,

    1. blues are named after the type of music, it's the same deal as the jazz, except the blues didn't move so the name is fitting, although i guess the music is kinda wimpy, it's about being sad and depressed, so actually, blues should switch spots with the jazz, b/c jazz is actually a pretty badass genre of music

  11. I knew someone was going to bring up the Maple Leafs... infact i almost wrote at the bottom why their not on it. I am Canadian so im going to not bash the name Maple Leafs for being Wimpy. The Maple Leaf is the symbol of our country and we are the "True North Strong and Free". As for the Sox teams, i think they sound awsome as if their like a gang or something, very unwimpy like. Blues i was thinking of but i didnt want to pick on the two teams named after music so i just used the Jazz.

  12. Here is one that you have overlooked and without a question should top your list granted its Division III college.

    The NYU Purple Violets

    1. Here's one that is in the "So Bad its Good" category: The University of California Santa Cruz Banana Slugs!

  13. How about the Lakers?

    Not only does it fit in line with the Jazz moving to a place where there is no jazz and the Lakers moving to a city where there are no Lakes... its also pretty whimpy.

    I mean, what are you going to do.. drown me?

    1. hey drowning is fear of many people lol

    2. As anyone who lives in the LA area who has ever tried to plan or schedule an RSVP event knows, when the Lakers moved from Minnesota (where the name made sense), they should have just added an "F" to the name.

      The LA Flakers

    3. Hey Tigershark, I thought you were gonna say the LA "Fakers"! lol I hate the Lakers!!!

  14. I mean, I think there shoujld be college on there as well. Banana Slugs, Dirtbags.

    To "Tron" I belive NYU are the eagles.

    Huskies? Aggies? Big Red? Big Green? Crimson?

    maybe im a little off.

    1. College isnt considered a professional sport tho is it??? see i know college sports is huge in the US but i just never really got into it too much.

    2. yeah but i think college should count if you are going to include the alloutes (sorry about the spelling)

    3. I agree Tron, i didnt think of it just because i never really got into the college stuff. But you make a good point since i guess the CFL in canada is like the College sports in the US.

  15. Correction on my NYU statement.... their logo just has an eagle on it.

  16. Jon you are kind of right... they are the Bobcats now but they were the purple violets for a few years in the 80s. there mascot was actually a flower... no joke

    1. lol see if i knew of this team i would definatly of had it in the top 2, actually for sure it would be my number 1

  17. Both my favorite sports tams, the Ducks and Packers, have pretty bad names. The San Francisco Packers would at least make sense...

  18. Great stuff Jordan!

    "I gave them a chance, i looked up the birds and i found this one to be the most un-manly of them all."

    Ha! Funny stuff. Thanks for sparing the Blue Jays...

  19. Thanks Josh, I appreciate it. Glad you liked it. Im a big Jays fan too, but they were close to making the list! But the fact that most people just call them the ``Jays`` now which sounds pretty awsome, is why they didnt get put on.

  20. Funny stuff. The packers, I don't even get that name. Loved the work you put into this to find out which teams have the sissiest names.

    1. I agree with you that its a bad name but its kind of cool if you know the histroy behind it:

      The orginal Green Bay Packers were just a bunch of guys who worked at the Indian Packing Company in Green Bay, Wisconsin and started a football team with a $500 investment for uniforms with the stipulation that the team be named after the company.

      When they joined the NFL in 1921, they called themselves the ACME Packers.

      They are now valued at $927 million and have won more NFL Championships, twelve, than any other NFL team. (Eleven with someone other than Favre at QB)

      The Bears are second with 9 and the Giants third with 7.

  21. St. Louis Blues anyone? Who's afraid of Wizards or Senators? How about a Galaxy?

    1. St.Louis Blues, i explained it in one of the comments above, but ill say it again. It was kept off becasue i already picked on the Utah Jazz for having their name as a type of music so i didnt want to keep a biased trend going. The wizards cand be pretty freaky... i hate to pull harry potter into this but that voldemort guy is one messed up freak lol. The senators... well were they not kind of like gladiators back in the day? Then for the Galaxy... well the Galaxy is a huge i dunno what would you call it....thing. Anything as big as a galxy is not wimpy to me!

  22. Good list but I'll add these two teams:

    Edmonton Cracker Cats (Independant League Baseball)
    Iowa Chops (Named after the Pork product; AHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars)

    1. Those are good ones, but i didnt want to put in independant baseball! On another note.. what league are the cracker cats in now, because their not in my citys league any more. They used to play the Winnipeg Goldeyes. I wish they didnt leave (calgary,edmonton) but they had such horrible attendances

    2. Iowa Chops? I thought it was the Iowa Stars?

    3. Ya it is the Iowa Stars

    4. Jordan: I'm not sure what league their in, all I know is one of my favorite independant league players, Ryan Radmanovich played there for a few seasons.

      Josh: They used to be called the Stars and they changed the name a few weeks ago to represent how Iowa is the center of the meet packing industry or something like that. Their logo is an evil looking pig lol...

    5. Really? well i guess its better than not being creative and just using the name of you big league team, but i loved their jerseys! Are they at least using the same color scheme

    6. I think they changed the colors around to Red, Black and Silver, but you would have to double check.

      BTW, check the bulletin board on your profile...

    7. They were the Iowa Stars (NHL Affiliate:Dallas) until this year. They are now the Iowa Chops (NHL Affilliate: Anaheim). Check out their new logo. Its a big freaking PIG!

  23. Angels, we beat up more Demons before breakfast than you.:)

    How did the Arizona Cardinals escape? OK, in baseball a team named after a state bird is OK. I football they should be somehow fearsome or something. Eagles, besides patriotism, are fast, have good eyesight, and are birds of prey. Falcons, take out the patriotism and they are mini-eagles. Sea-Hawks, besides not really existing, are hawks and like aquatic eagles.

    Cardinals? Seeds fear us! The others are birds of prey. Cardinals are prey.

  24. The Eagles, Falcons and sea-hawks all do not sound wimpy and are not! The Cardinals well you are right they definatly could be up there but i decided not to use it. But ya definatly the Cardinals are another good one to use

  25. How about the Islanders?

    Any team with the Gorton's fisherman as their logo can't be thought of as fierce in any way...

    1. I was thinking about that one too. But i just didnt Think the name was sissy enough to go on the list. However you may have just inspired my next Top Ten list in my series...... Most Outrageous logos???

    2. Sounds good, I'll definately read that one!

      If you want any suggestions, drop me a line...

    3. maybe i will! If i do im definatly going to have to put in a college team some where to keep the "hatas" away lol. Just kidding all comments bad and good are welcomed, i love to argue!!!

  26. How about the Cubs, or the Padres? Or in the WNBA the Atlanta Dream and the Chicago Sky?

    1. accidentally replied to you comment below:

      I cant say i even thought about the WNBA to be honest. Its a womens league its ment to be whimpy....oooooo jk jk jk. I thought about the Cubs as well but one day the cubs will grow into some huge bear and kill anyone in its tracks (if you put it that way it dosent sound wimpy). I didnt think the padres sounded that wimpy, but i dont think i looked up the meaning of padres, so maybe i over looked it. But if you go by name i dont think padres sounds that wimpy at least i think

  27. I've wondered when someone would write something like this. Good article.

    1. Thanks Thomas

  28. I cant say i even thought about the WNBA to be honest. Its a womens league its ment to be whimpy....oooooo jk jk jk. I thought about the Cubs as well but one day the cubs will grow into some huge bear and kill anyone in its tracks (if you put it that way it dosent sound wimpy). I didnt think the padres sounded that wimpy, but i dont think i looked up the meaning of padres, so maybe i over looked it. But if you go by name i dont think padres sounds that wimpy at least i think

  29. You should look into the Japanese Baseball teamsw...they sound quite whimpy

    Tokyo Yakult Swallows?

    Hiroshima Toyo Carp?

    1. Ya but all those sound wimpy to me. If i went that far all my teams would be from that league as well as from the new Russian hockey league lol

  30. Yeah the WNBA is pretty wimpy. And I'm not 100% positive on this, but I thought that Padre (which means "father" in spanish) was a reference to Father as in Reverend or Priest. They were very common at the missions built in the San Diego area. I could be way off on that, but I think thats it. But yeah, great idea for an article. When can we expect the 10 most bad-ass names?

    1. Thats sounds right to me, now that i think of it it makes sense. Im going to have to write down all of these ideas for my top ten list. Great idea if you dont mind if i take it??

      p.s i should have two more installments of my top 10 countdown within the next week, before i leave on holidays!

  31. Awesome, I look forward to reading them. And go ahead, the idea is all yours.

  32. Nice... you know you could have picked the Jays or the Cardinals... but nooooooooo, you had to take the Orioles. =)

  33. love it jordan. after mighty was taken out of mighty ducks, i think the anaheim ducks just sounds weird.

    1. Thanks Alan!!

  34. OK, now follow up with your ten BEST names in sports:

    Dallas Cowboys?
    San Jose Sharks?
    New York Giants?
    Pittsburgh Steelers?
    Milwaukee Brewers?
    New York Yankees?
    Seattle Seahawks?
    Philadelphia Eagles?
    Minnesota Vikings?
    Chicago Bears?
    Phoenix Coyotes?
    Arizona Diamondbacks?
    New England Patriots?

  35. I thought the Browns were named after Paul Brown. Hmmm..in any case, it's a dull name, no doubt.

  36. ya the Browns where named after Paul Brown who sold them then move to cincy and started the Bengals I can't believe some people don't know the sports history and then want look it up if they are going to write an article

    1. This article was supposed to be funny, a lot of the stuff i didnt know i pretended not to know as in sarcasm to make the article more funny. I did put a lot of research into this article actually, and i dont think i will let someone who has written 1 and a quarter articles here bash me personally. I always welcome people who disagree with what i have wrote. However when you say that i didnt do reasearch in this i will take acception to it. I admit the Browns was one of the things i did not know where the name came from and i did take some time to try to figure it out, but even if i did know this would still be on my list. In case you havnt noticed, some of the names even with a strong background still made it onto my list becasue it was so wimpy and boring. Browns would be on here no matter what.

  37. also the Jazz did start out in New Orleans and the Nuggets is taking from all the gold taking out of the mountains west of Denver

    1. ya.. have you not read any of the other comments down here, everyone explained that already, and i knew that the jazz started out in New Orleans.

  38. How the "Lakers" are not on your list, is beyond me. The organization moved away from (Minneapolis) the Land of 10,000 lakes, like...what? 1000 years ago? But still cling on to the name & uniforms...go figure

  39. Ya i agree, but its not the stupidest names of all time, its the wimpiest. The Lakers dosent sound as wimpy as the other names i dont think. But thanks for your feedback!

  40. Any good ideas for Oklahoma City's NBA mascot?

    1. well has the team name been officially released?? Im pretty sure it going to be the Outlaws, i think. If thats the case that is an awsome name worthy of my next list for badass names lol. As for their mascot, im not sure what they could have for that

    2. Actually, just released yesterday. It's going to be the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sounds like a WNBA team to me.

  41. Where are the Minnesota Twins? And no mention of the Sox from Chicago or Boston?

  42. Crap the Twins!! I remember thinking about them but forgot to write them down on my research paper. For sure they could definatly be one on this list. As for the sox read comments above i think iv mentioned above how i think sox spelt with an x is pretty much totall bad ass

  43. Truth is, I'd much rather be a Bomber than an f-ing Alouette.

    Great read!

  44. So, who would win in an ESPN bracket showdown - the Angels v. the Saints?
    Or would it end in a tie like a MMA match between two Aikido guys?

    Also, how about the California Golden Seals? That was some 'club'.

  45. I'd personally be more frightened of the Alouettes than the pair of Sox. You nailed most of them but clearly missed some of the least intimidating. At least a bird(Alouette) could pluck out your eyes. What are Sox going to do?

    1. ah, but what if it is the Alouette Spreadable cheese to which they refer? Heart attack? A sock could clog your dryer and cause a fire.

    2. lol nice one Bob!

  46. Clog the dryer? I don't know what kind of dryer you have but my clothes tumble in a large cylinder where no sock could get 'clogged'. But nice try.

  47. As a Browns fan, I'd like to correct you. The "dawg" thing came from Hanford Dixon and his barking at the bleachers to fire them up. They bacame the dawg pound nothing has anything to do with a bulldog. The Browns are named after Paul Brown, their founder and father of modern football. The architect of the forward pass (with Otto Graham, of course). Arguably the greatest coach in football history. That is an admirable name and has no business on this discredited list.

  48. As a Browns fan, I'd like to correct you. The "dawg" thing came from Hanford Dixon and his barking at the bleacher section to fire them up. They became the dawg pound and nothing has anything to do with a bulldog. The Browns are named after Paul Brown, their founder and father of modern football. The architect of the forward pass (with Otto Graham, of course). Arguably the greatest coach in football history. That is an admirable name and has no business on this discredited list.

    1. ok , thanks for your info! however it still sounds wimpy!

    2. However I agree with you, after thinking about it. I have decided to replace the Browns with the Cardinals. I tried to find the background info on the browns before but couldnt come up with it, so thanks for the info. It does still sound wimpy but it dosent come from something wimpy. Plus Cardinals is just Gay

  49. The Cleveland Browns were named after the coach and owner Paul Brown. It'd be like the Dallas Cowboys being the Dallas Jones'. For awhile they used a brownie as their helmet logo (about a minute) and the brownie is about the lamest fairytale creature known to man.

    The Denver Nuggets are named after gold nuggets from the gold rush from 1858 to about 1861. Gold's pretty cool, but "nuggets" sounds lame too. Like, "I just got kicked in the nuggets!"

    1. well ok that info may have just got my browns back on the list lol

  50. dude, how stupid are you? Nuggets refers to the mining history of Colorado. Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead. Gold Nuggets. Where the F*** do you get Chicken McNuggets from? And by the way, McNuggets stole their name from gold nuggets, not vice versa. And it's "definitely" not definatly. That you actually have done "research" on these names and continue to get things wrong is definatly disturbing. And the North Stars comes from the MN state motto "L'etoile du nord" = "The star of the North."

    1. i know where they come from stupid! the face is its wimpy!!! Obviously the Nuggets are reffering to the gold mines, its called sarcasm and acting dumb for a funny article!!! Also the fact you stated about the NOrth Stars makes it even more wimpy lol

    2. also welcome to bleacher report. Im happy that my articlke was so important you had to join! Cant wait to read your articles!!

  51. As a Colorado native, the Nuggets is a really stupid name. Considering how much pot is smoked in this state, though, many have taken to calling them the "nugs," as in the green, leafy kind. Classy.

  52. As a Colorado native, the Nuggets is a really stupid name. Considering how much pot is smoked in this state, though, many have taken to calling them the "nugs," as in the green, leafy kind. Classy.

  53. OMG what about the DOLPHINS, easily the wimpiest team name in all of sports. Especially considering the sport they play.

    1. ya definatly! thats why they made the list at # 4!

  54. great list, just wondering but why would anyone name their football team after a bird? or any team, for that matter.

    1. well some birds can make the cut. Like eagles and the strong and mighty ones, but other than that i agree!

  55. If Paul Brown were alive to see that and he confronted you in person, you'd have ^%# your pants. He was a very powerful man in many ways.

    1. id have symbols in my pants? holy SHIT that would be pretty cool

    2. just kidding man, ya after hearing more about the browns, for sure they deserved to come off

  56. How about the OKC Thunder? They make niose but nothing to see.

    1. ya but wherever theres thunder there is lightning!!!

  57. Your list sucks and you're an idiot. First, Penguins are not UP there (the Arctic) they are DOWN in the Antarctic. You know, the SOUTH POLE!? What are you six? I'm guessing you were giggling like Beavis and Butthead the whole time you were typing this on your parent's pc.

    You suck dude, find a new job please!

    1. Hey, how about we lay off, if you read the comments...he's said multiple times it was supposed to be a funny article and not too serious. And last time I checked...no one here sits around all day writing articles for Bleacher Report and gets paid for it, we're here to have fun and talk sports. Perhaps YOU should get a new job if your this bothered by everything, sounds like your work life is bringing you down.

    2. Thanks Angelo!!! you sound like a nice guy. This is not my job and dont get paid for it like Tyler said. Im just hear to write some fun articles and get people talking about them... whichc i did, with 42,000 + reads and 160 comments!

  58. A new job? I didn't like some of his opinions either but I can assure you that this is an un-payed position for Jordan, as it is for all of us. So Angelo, why take the time to comment if all you have is trash? I don't need an answer, it's because you are a wussy who bullies others from behind his computer screen. Nice goin' champ! You don't even have the balls to put a picture up, let alone write a controversial article. Jordan, keep it coming man.

    1. thanks alot kelly! Appreciate it.
