They shouldn't give assholes like McGregor any publicity for any reason. He's an embarrassment to the human species.

Jordan deserves extra shame as a former "professional" baseball player ;)

Not sure I would've included Snoop... his pitch was probably as high as he was.

Love the reaction of the person catching Mallory's pitch.

Carl Lewis must have the record for the most dubious top ten lists made.

Carly Rae was the one I was guessing would be number one...but I'd never seen #1 before.

Jordan should be ashamed of himself.

Snoop was better than I thought he would be. Maybe it was early so he'd only had one?

And the #1 worst deserved that ranking.

If Snoop had only had one it must have been a noon game.

Speaking of Snoop and random, he is giving "the call" this weekend to start the IndyCar race in Long Beach

Not so random. IndyCar trying to see their way to social media relevancy (which can turn into actual ratings) with that move. Snoop was a big hit, and by big I mean massive, when he did boxing commentary last year.

Snoop deserves applause for what he's done with his career. Not many would've been brave enough to make the moves he's made, from teaming with Martha Stewart to doing sports commentary.

Amazing to think how far he's come from his Doggy Style days. I bet many don't even remember that he was on trial for first degree murder back in the day (and at least partly wasn't convicted due to police incompetence.)

Charged with murder, promoting drug use at every opportunity, etc... Indeed - a truly wonderful role model for kids.

That he and people like Connor McGregor are held up as as 'heros' speaks to the low standards of society.

Sigh...

At least Snoop seems to have reformed mostly... not that that forgives the past of course. But he does a lot of charity work now, mainly with youth football for "at risk" kids, and does donate lots of food to the hungry. He even led a "peaceful march" after several police shootings (ie the police being the ones shot) in a complete 180. So he's definitely at least turned it around. I believe now the only drug he is really promoting is marijuana and these days, debatable how "bad" that is. It certainly was a big reason he mellowed.

But Conor is all about Conor. I really hope no one even remotely considers him a hero. I love watching him lately in MMA, as he is losing more often than winning the rare times he does fight.

I think any perceived 'reforming' he may have done was likely at the suggestion of his P.R. people.
He was also a pimp - and still promotes/glorifies that lifestyle. Having worked with prostituted women and girls, I will say here that there is absolutely nothing positive about pimps.
As for the marijuana... when you have a 'cool' celebrity promoting it and claiming that it's 'cool' to use it, it will very obviously influence kids to use it. And that's not a good thing. At best, it's extremely irresponsible.

I've worked with people who've been consumed by drug problems - crack, crystal meth, heroin, now fentanyl, etc... and in 90% of the cases, their drug use began in adolescence with marijuana. It's about creating the mentality that it's better to avoid uncomfortable feelings than to address and remedy them.
So... harmless? No, not at all.
