Over the years there seems to be the next "can't miss" prospect for the various sports. Who, in your lifetime, are some of these professional failures?

As a Penn State alumn..Ki Jana Carter, i think his 3rd play from scrimmage, he tore up his leg..that was itComment -

Do you remember when he went off at the journalist (Jim Trotter I think ) in the lockeroom and had to be calmed down by Rodney Harrison and Junior Seau. Harrison said afterwards he couldn't stand the guy because he was a whinging baby. Its probably on youtube somewhere.Comment -
doesn't SI do one of these like, every 6 months?Comment -
remember when S.I. was a must have, its still cool, but back in the day, as a kid to have a Sports Illustrated magazine, the covers were so nice.Comment -
I used to steal them at the library. They would also have the swimsuit edition there too, I would steal that and use it for months has wank material. This is what you had to do before web porn.

Brian BosworthComment -
hahah 5 teamer, remember the dewey decimal system. The Bozz one thing he did was market himself well, they did a issue on ESPN they were selling Boz sucks t shirts and Boz #1...he had both t shirts madeup, Genius.Comment -
It's got to be Leaf.
I remember the debates over who should be the #1 Pick. Manning or Leaf.
Imagine if Indy had ****ed that up.Comment -
I'd go with Leaf as well. Another huge bust was Tony Mandarich taken 2nd overall in 1989. Next pick was Barry Sanders, big miss by the Packers.Comment -
i remember that also.do you remember when the charger players ran up a big tab at a restaraunt.the players made leaf pay for it.it was a rookie thing.he got mad about it,and juniour sea punched out leaf.soon after that you could tell the players hated him so much they didnt even protect him on the field.Originally posted by englishmike

biggest busts? dolly parton and that chick who used to storm the field and kiss players, i think morganna was her name
biggest disappointments? how about that lefty pitcher for the yankees, the black kid, dude could not pitch at all, and how about felipe lopez? on the cover of si outta hs, then barely does anything in college
o'bannon bros were also big disappointmentsComment -
Alexandre Daigle was a pretty big bust.Comment -
good 1 the Obannons from UCLA, I think 1 was on the Nets. 5teamer who is that in your avatar im tryin to figure it out..gimme a hint?Comment -
i love heath shuler's politics[democrat] but he was one of the biggest bust ever.clarston hines was one of the greatest wide receivers in acc history.played at duke unde spurrier.keith mcants was suppose to be a giant at alabama. deceent line backe though.Comment -
if you are talking basketball.how about fire and ice .chris corchiani,and rodney monroe.chris wasburn could have been the next shaq.he almost got coach v in trouble.my sister went to the beachball clasic at the beach.she was pulling for lester earl,against kobe bryant in the slam dunk contest..lester earl disapeard at kansas.boby hurley[bad wreck].big disapointment.Originally posted by bmw530iComment -
I think he'd made comments blaming the o line for his own shortcomings and from that point on they kinda let him take a few shots. If you listen to anyone talk who knows him he's like Jeff Kent, they all say 'jerkoff.'Originally posted by topcati remember that also.do you remember when the charger players ran up a big tab at a restaraunt.the players made leaf pay for it.it was a rookie thing.he got mad about it,and juniour sea punched out leaf.soon after that you could tell the players hated him so much they didnt even protect him on the field.Comment -
i agree with you man.hes one of the biggest ass holes to ever play.if it sounded difeernt iam sorry.vetes play jokes on rooks all the time.ust goes to show he had thin skin.Comment -
its sad sad that bobby beathard was one of the greatest gms to ever live.built the redskins dynasty.he will always be rememberd for the leaf dealComment -

Mega-bust, well deserving of a nomination.Comment -
No team in history has drafted more busts than the Clippers.
Here's a list of players their idiot GM Elgin Baylor has passed on:
Amare Stoudamire
Caron Butler
Dirk Nowitzki
Kobe Bryant
Steve Nash
Tayshaun Prince
Paul Gasol
Rip Hamilton
Ron Artest
Ricky Pierce
Kevin Garnett
And many more!
Elgin Baylor is the biggest idiot GM in sports. Jordan is close second.Comment -
I was going to say the exact same thing. This guy had the tools to be a consistent 25+ goal scorer, but all that $$$ (at the time especially) the Sens forked over was insane.Originally posted by fiveteamerComment -
I actually thought Leaf was a better prospect than Manning. Manning seemed a bit overrated at Tennessee to me. He never could beat Florida. And I think Leaf had the better arm and certainly more mobility.Originally posted by englishmikeComment -
great point.a doomed team.Originally posted by daggerkobe
Comment -
at the time, i absolutely agreed w/this assessmentOriginally posted by ms61853Comment -
Elgin Baylor seems bad.
Mike Milbury is worse.Comment -
harold miner,nicknamed baby jordan.you guys got to love that one.Comment -
any guy compared to Jordan doesn't have a shot.
Kobe is the only one close enough.Comment -
i kinda thought the same thing.the rose bowl game between washinhington state,and michigan was a great game to watch.i always thought mannigs wide receivers jermaine copland,and marush nash could have been good recivers in the nfl.i thought wrong.Originally posted by hoopster42Comment -
i agree kobe is the closest.Originally posted by fiveteamer
