The Top 10 Bad Ass Mofos in Sports History

This list is crap - not a single hockey player. Where is Dave Semenko? Tiger Williams? Ted Green? The list is a scandal wrapped in a joke.

There is, however, an actual good example:

Jack Lambert - Ever wonder who said those famous words, "Quarterbacks should wear dresses"? That was Jack Lambert. The famous Sports Illustrated cover photo of Lambert without his front teeth said it all. This was the toughest guy in football.

Lambert was so mean that, when the Steelers missed a field goal against Dallas and one of the Cowboys decided to gloat about the miss, Lambert slammed him to the ground. He would lurk over the center and stare at the QB like a wolf ready to pounce. He had a particular taste for Cleveland Browns QB Brian Sipe, who Lambert hit so hard, so late, so many times, Pete Rozelle had to call him in for a meeting. "Brian has a chance to go out of bounds and he decides not to," Lambert said later. "He knows I'm going to hit him. And I do. History."

In a sport where tough linebackers are the rule, Lambert is in a class by himself. The four Super Bowls, the ability to dominate on a defense full of dominators. And those missing front teeth, which prompted the nickname "Dracula." Can't get more Bad Ass than that.
