  • larryjr88, on 11/24/2008, -1/+13How does Mike Tyson differ from Metallica?

    Metallica leaves a ringing in your ears. Tyson leaves your ear in a ring.
  • acparks1, on 11/24/2008, -1/+8Dugg for one page.
  • jmeskimen, on 11/24/2008, -1/+6No Charles Barkley? But you put in Goldberg because he got hurt?
  • inactive, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5How is Milton Bradley not on that list?
    1) Threw a bottle at a fan
    2) Tore his own ACL arguing with an umpire.
    3) Sought out a broadcaster who made disparing remarks about him.
    4) Sent packing from both the Indians and Dodgers because of his attitude.

    The man is the definition of hot head.
  • thetechgeek, on 11/23/2008, -1/+6Dugg for Mike Tyson eating Holyfield’s ear. OM NOM NOM NOM
  • jonroth, on 11/24/2008, -1/+5Damn! Nice list. I'd forgotten how many of these guys were responsible for my immense dislike of professional athletes, esp. John McEnroe.
  • b3n3llis, on 07/26/2009, -0/+4No Zidane?
  • SohailKhanifar, on 11/24/2008, -2/+6pfft, no eric cantona? he freaking kung fu kicked someone during a game.
  • fred65, on 11/24/2008, -1/+4Damn, Ron Artest vid not available...
  • DangQuesadilla, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3On behalf of the wrestler who killed his family, I must say that 'roid rages are horrible. I had to have a doctor give me steroid injections for an entrapped nerve, and the whole day I was furious at the world and really over sensitive. I could not control it.
  • tolbs, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Yeah, where the hell is Bertuzzi on that list?
  • tolbs, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2They have the picture of Pacman wrong. I think that is Wrestler Ron Killings, unless I am wrong.
  • 9bpm9, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2I believe his first base coach tore Milton's ACL.
  • bobsbones, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2No Vinnie Jones?
  • RudolfDiesel, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2anyone heard of Albert Belle? I think he tried to run someone over in his SUV........
  • crushfan, on 11/24/2008, -1/+3Yeah, I'm with you. Americans don't understand a ***** about real sports. Cantona is a legend.
  • sdellboy, on 11/24/2008, -1/+3Crap list. American-centric. Where was Eric Cantona? Or Paulo Di Canio??

    Eric Cantona attacking a fan: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/123374/soccer_eric_c ...

  • maliath, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1How about Mad Max? (Vernon Maxwell)

    Go Rockets.
  • inactive, on 11/24/2008, -3/+4No hockey players - and way to many basketball players.

    Unless you nearly kill someone, go to jail for a long time, or send someone to the hospital your still too vagina to be on this list.
  • csrster, on 11/24/2008, -1/+2or Cantona. Americanocentric crap.
  • palehorse864, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Not an athlete but a manager. This is one of the most amusing displays of bad temper I've seen.

    Watch until after the 1:15 mark, my favorite part.
  • swik, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1I always thought defensive football players were kind of lucky in a certain regard because they can take out their frustrations sort of easily on the field, though sometimes they resort to late hits (which were a staple in the old nfl).

    I guess hockey players benefit from being able to actually fight as well. Makes you wonder how some of these player's images would be if their sport allowed them to get brutal with someone else...

    ...except for Tyson...geez
  • csrster, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1More to the point, he drop-kicked a _fan_ after being red-carded for kicking another player.
  • Pericol, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1yeah article fails for not having eric cantona or roy keane.
  • asgardshill, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1They convicted Oglethorpe.
  • inactive, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1They're all wankers.
  • theeris, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1What about Roy Keane for his leg-breaking and career ending tackle on Alf-Inge Håland?
  • Swigeon, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1What no Bill Laimbeer? What a dick.
  • Armando57, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1What nothing from the World of Soccer? Sorry, boxing and wrestling are contact sports, calmer heads are lost sometimes. But how about headbutting someone for insulting his momma? Wahh!!!

    And Nolan Ryan doesn't deserve to be on the list. Brush back pitches are part of the game. Just because a 45 year man can still make a younger man his bitch doesn't make him a hot head. Ventura might have made the list, but not Ryan.
  • thebitghost, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Buried for the site resizing my browser and sending me to some anti-virus scare tactic site telling me how infected i am and demonstrating it with weak java script.
  • nickceleb, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1If Rodman wasn't on there I would've buried.
  • misfit815, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1Obviously, racing's not included, or the entire list would be full of them. In addition to half of NASCAR, don't forget A.J. and Danica. (who knew *they* would be on the same list?)
  • ostracize, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Mad Mike Milbury:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8K7roZu3WU
  • stustyle, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Buried for not including Ty Cobb. The dirtiest of the dirty.
  • GrantMVP, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1where the hell is Rob Dibble? he is at least top 10.
  • riotoussideburn, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0This could have been 50 easily.
    Is it wrong to enjoy watching this kind of violence?
  • inactive, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0It was Milton who was raging, but he was being held back by his manager Bud Black. I had been a fan of Bradley's even when he threw his tirades. But he lost me when he came out and said the Dodger fans were being racist.
  • Omendnb, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0these things are racially biased. Ron artest beat someone up that threw soda on him. and Chris Benoit mUrdered his family. hahaha..
  • zzzpoohzzz, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1izzy's clip has always been one of those ones that just makes me say "holy ***** i cant believe that really happened"
  • fangs4evrything, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0Oye, testosterone.
  • inactive, on 11/24/2008, -5/+2Why did I read that as "20 Hot Headed Atheists"?

    I guess Digg and sports are something I was not expecting. :P
  • inactive, on 11/24/2008, -3/+0don't all those black guys look alike?
