This week we have several candidates:

The pricks who vandalized Kay Yow’s memorial in the Free Expression Tunnel at NC State?  Since we can not pin it on anyone in particular, they will have to get a pass.

What about Santonio Holmes?  He was awarded the MVP of the Super Bowl this week, pretty rotten eh?  But wait, there is more.  Holmes also admitted this week that he is a former drug dealer. Does that get him top honors?  Not so much.

Michael Phelps?  We have all seen the picture of him going Ricky Williams on us while at a frat party last year.  He still has more gold than Zsa Zsa Gabor.

No, this week’s winner is one Manny Ramirez.  He earned the top slot when he turned down a one year, $25million offer from the Dodgers.  Hey ManRam, maybe you have not noticed, but people are getting laid off left and right these days.  People are getting kicked out of their homes because they can not pay their mortgages.  The economy is completely tanking.  So why don’t you go ahead and add to the stigma that athletes are grossly overpaid by turning down a deal that would make you the highest paid player in the sport?  You sir, are a complete douche.
