In light of the justified vitriol spewed at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this week, I wondered who the most hated people are in sports at the moment. I asked my Twitter followers who they hated in sports besides Goodell, Alex Rodriguez and LeBron James because I figured they'd dominate the responses. Here's an unscientific count of the results. (Keep in mind, I have a heavy New York following, so that skewed things a little bit.)
Gary Bettman: 17
Lane Kiffin: 8
Jay Cutler: 7
*Others getting at least three votes: Skip Bayless, Chris Berman, Pete Carroll, Sidney Crosby, James Dolan, Brett Favre, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Terrell Owens, A.J. Pierzynski, Ben Roethlisberger, Michael Vick and Kevin Youkilis.
As is always the case on Twitter, some people weighed in with responses that made me laugh. Here are the 10 funniest answers I got to the question.
Yes, Matt Leinart Is Still In The NFL.
Who knew? Anyway, he's reportedly involved in some scandal with someone from The Bachelor or the The Bachelorette... one of those dumb, horrific shows.

Jerry Seinfeld Video Of The Day
Michael Richards stars in the season finale of Seinfeld's web show, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. The show is 17 minutes long, so you'll have to carve out some time for it this weekend. But if you want to see an emotional Richards discuss the incident in which he went on a racist tirade in a comedy club a few years ago, fast forward to the 14-minute mark.
WWF Video Of The Day
Beanie, of Clifton, N.J., says, "Jimmy, earlier this week you posted the classic Earl and Dave Hebner video. But this old-school WWF video might be more appropriate to feature since it features a crooked ref and clueless commish. Yes, I know the deal got done, but any old-time WWF fan would love this."
