#33 - Lou Pinella
Born: 28 Aug 1949 Tampa, FL
Marriages: Anita
If you watch all 162 Seattle Mariner games, most of the time you would say that Lou Pinella should never be considered for this list. But, when something irks this manager, he goes off like a cork on New Year's Eve. He once fought the San Diego Chicken, as a player, because the chicken playfully stole his glove as he was running in from the outfield. His most famous moment in a fight as a manager was when, as manager of the Cincinnatti Reds he got into an argument with an umpire, picked up first base, and heaved it half-way into the outfield. This is just one example of the fire burning inside of this man.
#32 - Mike Ditka
Born: 18 Oct 1939 Carnegie, PA
Marriages: Marge, Diana (current)
As a player, Ditka was one of the most intense performers of his time. Once, as a Dallas Cowboy, he got into a car accident the day before a game and demanded that the dentist pull his teeth as opposed to wiring his jaw just so he could play the next day. When he moved on to the sidelines, his intensity went right along with him. In one of the most famous outbursts by a coach against his player, Ditka was seen on national TV chewing out Jim Harbaugh for throwing an INT. He also inspired one of the funniest Saturday Night Live skits in modern history with Chris Farley and three other comedians betting on him against the likes of God, the Yetti, Sasquach, and the Loch Ness Monster. As predicted, Diiiiit-ka always gets the better of them at Soldier Field.
#31 - Cam "Sea Bass" Neely
Born: 6 June 1965 Comox, Canada
Marriages: none
Neely, in his prime, was one of the hardest hitting forwards ever to play the game. In one year, he netted 50 goals in 42 games. He was big enough to play defense, but scored easily enough that he had to play a forward position. After getting hit one time by Ulf Samuelsson, Cam's leg was never the same and the injury he sustained forced him to retire eventually. He showed just how menacing a figure he could be in the great American comedy Dumb and Dumber, where he was Sea Bass, the man who hocked a looge into Harry Dunne's burger, but ended up picking up their tab due the the genuis that is Lloyd Christmas. Being in that movie is reason enough to slide him in here just outisde the top 30.
#30 - Kris Monzo
Born: 1982
Marriages: none
This child, as a Clifton high school wrestler, during the 1999-2000 district and region tournaments, would parade around the mats before his match with a construction worker's hat on for "good luck." When he was wrestling, the hat moved from his head to the corner of the mat, by his coaches. No one knows why or how this trend started, but the year after he graduated, it was put to a stop. The NJSIAA made a rule that said a wrestler could not wear a hat or t-shirt that was not "team issued." It was termed the "Kris Monzo" rule around HHHS wrestling. If that wasn't enough to get him on here, he also has a bumper sticker on his car that says "my son beat up your honor student" (it should be noted that Kris does not hav any kids) and got kicked out of college for a combination of drinking, drugs, and indecent exposure.
#29 - George Brett
Born: 15 May 1953 Wheeling, WV
Marriages: Leslie
Similar to Pete Rose, Brett had an undying love for the purity of the game of baseball. In one game against the Yankees in the early 1980's Brett was accused of corking his bat. The umpire took a look at the bat and agreed with the Yankees and ruled Brett's home run invalid. When Brett became aware of this, he stormed out of the dugout and ran right up to the umpire. He had to be held back by numerous amounts of his teammates (picture on the right). It turned out the Brett's bat was not corked and that his home run did count, but this one incident was enough for the judges to place him inside the top 30 of this list.
#28 - Axl Rose
Born: 6 Feb 1962 Lafayette, IN
Marriages: Erin (not current)
This man has caused terror around the country. Before he moved to LA at the age of 20 to become a star, Axl was arrested 20 times in Indiana. He was thrown in a Chicago jail for punching a "Bon Jovi look-alike." In St. Louis he was placed in a jail for inciting a riot. In Phoenix he ended up in prison for cursing off some security gaurds who he was pissed at. Above all of that, he caused a ruckus at two different MTV award shows. In one he almost got into a fight with Kurt Cobain and at the other, he threatened to kill Vince Neil (bad idea) but suddenly grew some brain cells and backed off. His reign of terror throughout the U.S. secures him a nice, safe place here in our list.
#27 - Ken Shamrock
Born: 14 Feb 1964 Macon, GA
Marriages: Tina
As a kid, Ken found himself in a lot of fights because he was a little rowdy. This led to him gettin thrown out of school in San Francisco (his dad was an ARMY man and the family moved around a lot). Eventually, at age 10, when most of us are learning how to do long division, Ken ran away form home and lived out of a car. He couldn't go back into the school system because the police were on his tail. He ended up joining the UFC and becoming the "world's most dangerous man" by making all challengers submit. Run the other way if you see this man approaching in a dark alley with a bad look on his face.
