    The underachiever who always looks uninterested. The loudmouth who complains from Day 1. The choker who lets his team down when it matters most. These are the players who drive their fans nuts.

    In honor of these boo magnets, I set out to find the 100 players most hated by their home fans during their playing days in that city.

    Some quick ground rules: This is all in good fun, so we're avoiding examples such as Donnie Moore, the Angels relief pitcher who committed suicide after several high-profile blown saves, or Andres Escobar, the Colombian soccer player who was murdered after scoring on his own net in the 1994 World Cup. Also, remember that these are players hated by their own teams' fans. Everyone in the free world seems to hate Barry Bonds, but Giants fans love him, so he's not in here.

    Without further ado, here are 100 targets of your boos and batteries:

    .........................

    LEGITIMATE JERKS DIVISION

    68. Bonzi Wells, 4 teams: Threatening the all-time record for being "absent due to personal reasons."

    Not sure why anybody would hate Andre Ware for just starting 7 games. If anything it's an argument he should have been given more starts. Makes him a failure, not sure if it makes him hatable.

    EDIT: I should say why would anybody hate a lot of those QB's - Chad Pennington? The guy is a total overachiever, it's a miracle he's lasted as long as he has. Lots of others too, I mean so what if Tony Eason got destroyted by the greatest D of all time, the 85 bears - he took a mediocre Pats team to the Super Bowl, that's something.

    Remember when Bob Knepper would get booed at every game he pitched? I think that's the guy I think of when I think of a player everybody in the city hated.
