    Only name I saw in the half page of ? I read that is accurate is Barry Bonds. He could have still played DH or even coach or commentate something.....but nah they have him blacklisted. ? MLB's administration too.

    Definition of black balled. He's consistently aimed for coaching spots only to be denied. On what ? grounds do you not hire Kareem Abdul Jabbar as even an interim? Eric Spoelstra started out as a ? video clerk for the Heat, and he's gotten an opportunity.

    But the most prolific scorer in basketball history--the greatest offensive big man in history--can't get a run because he didn't like talking to the press when he was young? Word?

    No blacklisted from the entire league, but he's definitely frozen out of the upper echelon.
    He seems like he doesn't kiss ass and is straightforward, which doesn't help either.

    You might not remember but Mike Tyson was seen as the second coming of Muhammad Ali. He broke Ali's record to be the youngest Heavyweight champion.

    But then he got caught up in that ? charge and his stock went downhill from there. He couldn't get good management or a decent trainer and went downhill.

    He's one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and one of the greatest living athletes of any sport, but he gets a bad rap. Considering how great he was in his prime he should be doing commercials.

    Joe Louis wasn't blackballed, he was almost universally loved...Rocky Marciano just beat him into retirement.

    Some people in here got revisionist history like a ? . T.O. was an all time great on the field, but he brought drama everywhere he went. When someone gets ran out of 3 franchises that they're helping win, they're the problem. T.O. was being a chatty patty calling Jeff Garcia ? in interviews and was taking shots at McNabb and the Eagles while he was still on the team.


    I'll give it to T.O. that for 3 years in Dallas he was relatively good and not involved in the B.S., but y'all need to stop acting like T.O. didnt love the drama. He always had something to say about everything and when you do that, you're gonna get a reputation and he earned his rep. It's just by the end of his career, the talent wasn't good enough to deal with the ? .
