Leggo My Ego

People like Bernie Madoff and other major league swindlers are so amazingly confident in their ability to fool people that I am always amazed when they get caught. Such massive egos usually don't figure they WILL get caught or at least think that they are immune from criticism and/or prosecution. With that as a backdrop, Chris Erskine, a columnist for the Los AngelesTimes has compiled a list of sports personalities whom he thinks rank at the top of the All-Ego list. He has provided a first and second team as well as a group designated as "Dishonorable Mention" candidates. See how many of these are choices with which you agree:
First Team (in order, I suspect)
LeBron James, Ben Roethlisberger, the entire NFL, Lance Armstrong, Mark Cuban, Jerry Jones, Free Agency, Mike Garrett and Rex Ryan.
Second Team All-Ego
Alex Rodriguez, The McCourts, Tiger Woods, Scott Boras, Carlos Zambrano, Chris berman, Serena Williams, Manny Ramirez, Kobe Bryant, Pete Carroll and Barry Bonds.
Dishonorable Mention
Nike, Ozzie Guillen, Jim Rome, Bob Costas, Yankees' fans and the French World Cup soccer team.

Erskine provides a rationale for all of his choices, and I must say that he is quite convincing! Check him out at the Times online site.
