I wanted to shed some light on people that are underperforming or just really being stupid. They could be your boss an athlete or spouse. Just thought this would be a fun way to get many here involved.

I have a few in my losers hall of fame, starting out with Tom Seaver formerly of the NY Mets. Got to meet him one day and was the biggest jerk I've veer met, the 2nd would be my boss!

      Yes, my present big boss is a f***ing dumb ass too! So not my direct boss, he's pretty cool, but the GM... total lizard demon moron!

      Other losers would be students that pay thousands of dollars to go to University for stupid degrees no one gives a crap about and then complain they cant get a job cos they have no life experiences!

      People that refer to themselves as "Dr." just because they are one or they have a doctorate. Listen, your name is f***ing Bob! Thats what ya mamma called ya, thats what im gonna call ya!

      Marketing executives that have no clue about marketing except for what they learned at University, what they learned at the conference where all the other marketing executives go to and what sales reps from advertising companies tell them...

      Anyone that watches a current affair programs.

      Anyone that reads the daily news paper and thinks its real news.

        I had an English Lit professor who insisted on being addressed as Dr.

        The girl who sat next to me, Linda Goode, a paraplegic who could barely hold her pen so taking notes was pretty tuff for her. However, she was very intelligent.

        This professor was always giving us hell for talking in class and when we explained to her that I was simply helping Linda with her notes she didn't care.
        One day Linda stayed after class to discuss something her and she kept insisting Linda address her as "Dr."
        After about the 3rd time the professor told Linda that she had earned the title of "Dr." and demanded the respect she deserved. Linda told her "I'll give you my respect when you earn it."

        I'd offer that professor up as a HUGE loser but I can't remember her name. Nor do I want to.

    Interesting. Tom has always had a reputation of being a good guy.

    But, I defy anyone to argue that biggest loser of all time is not Mike Brown, Owner/GM of the Cincinnati Bengals.:p

      I'll take up the debate. The Washington Generals had a 6 and 13,000+ win/loss record during their history. They then changed their name to the New York Nationals and their losing ways still continue.

      They took losing to a whole new level and were actually professional losers, paid to lose to the Harlem Globetrotters.

        But, they're really paid to lose aren't they? Doesn't that also make them among the most successful teams. :p

        I don't think losing on purpose and getting paid for the privilege counts.
        Also, the fact that they're a team makes them losers , plural.
        So, we don't really know if any of the members is a loser:confused:

          Thread title says "Losers Hall of Fame".

          Bengals made the playoffs last year and I picked them in the NFL thread to be good again this year. Hard to call a playoff team a "loser".

          But I bet the Nationals will still lose and carry on the tradition of "lovable losers".

        I will concede he was probably a great peanut farmer and that the peanuts he grew were most likely not GMOs.

            I read a piece in one of our local papers that explained it a little bit. It was ran as a side story to the Ryan Braun mess. Hopefully I can remember enough of the details not to mess it up too much.

            Anyway, I don't remember the exact numbers, but according to this story MLB can currently test for something like 500 different PEDs. But, there are tens of thousands of combinations possible through molecular engineering. Players can have PEDs customized to thwart the tests. So while some get caught, probably a lot of others aren't caught who are using.

          President definitely was not the right job for him - but he's no loser. You can't be great at everything. It was because he was SO NOT a loser he was elected. Just a mistake for him to take the job because he wasn't good at it. He still had more principles and integrity than 99% of the people we have in office and succeeds in a lot of other areas of life.

      Ok - I've got one for you.

      Duncan, OK - 3 teens shot a jogger in the back because they were "bored".

      "They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target,'" the chief, Danny Ford, told the AP. "The boy who has talked to us said, 'We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.'"
      The juveniles were arrested - but because they are juveniles we won't learn much about them. I think they will be charged as adults - and I think juveniles charged as adults should lose the layer of "protection" they enjoy as minors.

      In my opinion, whoever had guns easily available to these teens should also be arrested and charged as an accessory.

      The victim was an Australian attending college in the US on a baseball scholarship. An incident like this is what the rest of the world sees as "life in the US". I hope they put these kids away forever - but I doubt that will happen.

            Yup. The two charged with premeditated murder have been in trouble before - have videos on Facebook where they are showing of with guns - and with STACKS of hundred dollar bills.

            Their Twitter accounts are full of racial comments against whites. Wonder if a certain "Rev" will tell the DOJ to investigate this as a racial crime?

            The father of one of the boys arrested said "we have suffered a loss, too". He seemed sincere but - too bad he didn't know his underage son had guns to play with and huge stacks of money to flash around.

              Not sure which certain rev you are referring to, but one of them today said "Praying for the family of Chris Lane. This senseless violence is frowned upon and the justice system must prevail."

    I would like to ad to the list the Boston Marathon bombers ( and their entire enabling family as well).
    I recently ran in a local charity road race for two victims of the bombing. A young married couple from a town near me. They were avid runners and each lost a leg as they were watching the marathon. They have been married less than one year. So sad. People who proudly do such cowardly destruction are true losers.
    - Politics aside, if you know anything about Jimmy Carter you would know that he is not a loser at all (Actually a great humanitarian).
