How is a murderer only at #2?!?!?

Despite his best intentions, Lane Kiffin simply can’t escape the shadow of his controversial past. Nor can Bobby Petrino or Jameis Winston.

The latest example? GQ published a list of who writer Drew Magary considers to be the 25 biggest sleazebags in all of sports. Ousted Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling comes in at No. 1 followed by former Florida Gators tight end Aaron Hernandez — I’d put an (alleged) murderer at No. 1 but that’s just me — but the game of college football is “well represented” as well.

Louisville’s head coach, Petrino, who was fired amidst controversy from Arkansas two years ago, cracked the ignominious Top 10 at No. 10. Writes Magary…

Want to become the perfect embodiment of a good-ol’-boy ****bag football coach? First, ditch your pro team (the Atlanta Falcons) for a college job without telling anyone you’re leaving. Then hire an underqualified woman to work on your staff just so you can **** her. Then take a motorcycle ride with your new mistress and crash the bike. Then refuse to call 911 in a last-ditch attempt to cover your ass. Congratulations! Louisville has a seven-year contract waiting for you.

Kiffin, now Alabama’s offensive coordinator after being unceremoniously dumped by USC last season, was given an arguably harsher critique — Magary referred to him as “a baby Petrino” — in coming in at No. 18:

The program-wrecking Alabama offensive coordinator is like a baby Petrino, only he crashed a Lexus, which is 31 percent classier than crashing a motorcycle.

Then, three spots later, the reigning Heisman winner and quarterback of the defending BCS champions completes the college football “Sleazebag” triumvirate. Winston, of course, was a suspect in an alleged rape that resurfaced yet again this month as well as his crab caper this past offseason. At No. 21, Magary had choice words for Winston as well:

The Florida State Heisman Trophy winner was never charged for allegedly raping a fellow student, despite incriminating evidence and her continued insistence that he did. What’s nice is that Winston had an entire infrastructure of school officials, coaches, lawyers, and deranged FSU fanboys all shielding him from having to answer questions about it. An ESPN sideline reporter tried once after a game, and Winston’s lawyer demanded a public apology, presumably in the form of stolen crab legs. (Google “Jameis Winston stolen crab legs” for further merriment.)

So there you have it. Discuss the relative merits of each individual’s inclusion on such a list amongst yourselves.

So, it's more politically correct to name a racist ahead of a murderer? Smh.

I didn't get the impression they were trying to be PC lol I got the impression that he fit the description of "sleaze bag" more so given his history as a whole. Hernandez is the lowest of the lowest of the lowest scum on Earth. But yeah I found it weird he wasn't number one, if he is gonna be included at all. I guess they were going by sleaze ranking (whatever that means) but I don't see murder as "sleazy", just horrific ..

Must have been a slow news day.

Must have been a slow news day.

For a magazine called Gentleman's Quarterly, every day is a slow news day.

A "gentleman" would never call somebody a sleazebag. Douche rocket, maybe.
