TIME NOW FOR THE ROC AND MANUCH ON THE FAN AM 1060 2007 TURKEY OF THE YEAR

10. Arizona Diamondbacks Fans: First the Dbacks struggle to sell out games, however, they win their division only to have fans throw bottles and trash on the field during the series. What a joke! What an embarrassment for fans of Arizona.

9. Tie – Former Cardinals Coach Richie Anderson and Steelers Coach Larry Zierlein: So funny! Anderson is arrested in March for soliciting a prostitute who turned out to be an undercover Phoenix police officer. Hilarious! And Zierlein 61, sending out an inappropriate email that hit the entire NFL! Inappropriate means PORN!

8. Another tie – Notre Dame and Nebraska football teams: The Fighting Irish should win every week – damn they have their own network. Coach Weis looks and acts like a turkey! For Nebraska, this was the season to put the Huskers back on the map. I wonder how Sam Keller feels today!

7. Tim Hardaway: What an idiot! We got a lot mileage out of this quote “Well, you know I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don’t like gay people and I don’t like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don’t like it.” I am told he is taking classes on how to deal with his homophobic challenges. Wow!

6. Isaiah Thomas: My favorite! The Knicks are a mess! His relationship with players is a mess! His life is a mess! This guy will not last through the year. If I was doing this poll in December Thomas might be in our top 3.

5. O.J. Simpson: This turkey has been on everyone’s list since 1994. It all started in January when a federal judge issued a restraining order prohibiting Simpson from spending any advance he may have received on a canceled TV and book deal. Then a Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the book to the Goldman family. And finally, his latest legal troubles with which he as arrested and charged with numerous felonies for trying to get some of his memorabilia from a Vegas hotel room.

4. Pac Man Jones: Three Words – Make It Rain!!!

3. Michael Vick: He is probably No. 1 on most lists. But for fans in Phoenix, he is a solid No. 3. It all started in January with his cool water bottle trick in Atlanta to testing positive to drugs to his dog fighting charges. From there his entire life has blown up!

2. Tie – David Stern and Tim Donahey: In the heat of the NBA’s most competitive playoff series of the year, a couple of players left the bench in support of their teammate. You know the story. It was game four of the Western Conference Semifinals and Steve Nash was body checked by Robert Horry before a fracas ensued. Then you have a referee who cheated on his own sport! A lot of Suns fans might have the commish at No. 1. But I will still argue it was a 7 game series. The Suns could have won it, despite no Amare or Boris.

1. Barry Bonds: Boy, did No. 25 make sports radio fun in 2007. We had his funeral from baseball on our show. It has gone as far as no one is allowed to say his name on the show. “BB” now stands for “Behind Bars.” I could go on and on about the former leftfielder for the SF Giants, but it’s not worth the time! “BB” is No. 1 is our book!
