Athletes nobody hates
 

Just watching the packers preseason game. I think this is a short list - big time athletes that everyone likes (or at least doesn't despise).

My short list:
Brett Favre
Tony Gwynn
Michael Jordan
Wayne Gretzky

I think MJ is the only iffy pick, but I'm no hockey expert. Any other candidates, past or present?

I don't hate Favre but I'm getting tired of everyone that gets on their knees for him.

All-time Nobody Hates
 

Lou Gehrig, I would think.

Tony Gwynn was my first thought. I even think he does a damn good job as an announcer.

Really, as an announcer? He reminds me of when Eddie Murphy makes fun of the black cop in Beverly Hills Cop. "Your not going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe trick?"

Tons of people hate Jordan. I would say Phil Mickelson but that's not true either. Babe Ruth?

Rulon Gardner, but that's too easy.
