1. Dan Snyder
2. Jerry Jones
3. Norm Green (former owner of the Minnesota North Stars)
4. George Steinbrenner
5. The entire Bidwill Clan

Next?

[LTR]

[CO Liberal]

2. George Slimebrenner

[LTR]

4. Survey says... DING! DING! DING!

[LynneSin]

5. Marge Schott

But can we keep our 1990 World Series Ring?

She embarassed the hell out of the Cincinnati Reds and towards the end of her reign of terror destroyed the team with her cheapness

[Wickerman]

6. Jerry Jones - eom

[sasquatch]

7. Art Moddel and Mike Brown

They both suck but, Mike's been making some good decisions recently.

[Blue-Jay]

15. I second that!

and I'll throw in a Steinbrenner for good measure.

[Rattlesnake]

8. My list:

1. Dan Snyder...he's a prick.
2. Red McCombs
3. George Steinbrenner
4. The Bidwills
5. Bud Selig (not a team owner perse, but he has stock in the Brewers.)

[zx22778a]

9. Harold Ballard

Destroyed the Leafs back in the '70s.

[ikojo]

10. My choice is theENTIRE Bidwell clan

EVIL!!!

[On the Road]

11. No Votes for Robert Irsay?

[Kolesar]

16. Art Modell 1st. If Irsay moved the Colts to Indy, I would concur

I think I have the correct team owner. Indianapolis built a football stadium that sat empty for a few seasons before they stole the Colts (I recall).

[Faygo Kid]

12. William Clay Ford

One playoff win for the Lions in 47 years. Erase, erase, erase.

[bif]

13. Mike Illitch

Horrible human being. Had to have a new baseball stadium to be competitive. Then fielded the shittiest Tiger team in history.

[noonwitch]

27. But he takes good care of the Wings

I don't know what happened to the Tigers, but if Illitch hadn't bought them from Monahan, they probably wouldn't be the Detroit Tigers any more, they'd be in some southern town by now.

[NoPasaran]

14. Rupert Murdoch

[TopesJunkie]

17. The Bidwells --

No clan has ever caused so much pain for so long for so many.

[bowens43]

18. That's easy

GW Bush

[afraid_of_the_dark]

19. Bill Callahan

Drove Gruden's Raiders into the ground, and looks like he's preparing to do the same with the Nebraska collegiate football team. They're gonna BEG for those 10-3 seasons...

[LTR]

20. Not an owner

Maybe a coaches thread can be started.

[afraid_of_the_dark]

21. ooops, my bad

I misread the original post... Callahan's a coach, not an owner. :dunce:

[wryter2000]

22. No particular order

Marge Schott
George Steinbrenner
Al Davis
Georgia Frontierri

[madrchsod]

23. bill wirtz,owner of the blackhawks

[lazarus]

24. Dan Snyder

The man who destroyed my beloved Redskins. I hate him with the passion of a leashed cat.

[HEyHEY]

25. Mike Hiesly

Not that I actually gave a shit the Grizzlies were moved. No one else did either. BUt he lied to us...fuck him

2. Carl Lindner (Reds)
3. Mike Brown (Bengals)
4. Dan Snyder (Northern Virginia Native Americans)
5. Carl Pohlad (Twins)
6. Jeff Loria (the art dealer who ruined the Expos, then lucked into a World Series title with Florida)

Rupert Murdoch
Wayne Huizenga (sp)
Steinbrenner
Art Modell
Al Davis
Bud Selig

[Kolesar]

29. owwww....trick question, huh?

[Dees]

30. Oh no contest. Bidwells. This family should have never

been allowed to continue with sports ownership. Bill Bidwell is a detestable soul. We put up with he and Stormy for years in St. Louis.
He's Arizona's problem now. Good luck.
