“Nasty” comes in many shapes and forms. It can be how Ludacris like his women-”lady in the street, but freak in the bed”. It can be like your old college roommate who you didn’t go to the bathroom after unless you had on your infrared specs, combat boots, and Lysol can grenades blastin’ away the stink. But mostly, it means a certain attitude. People that will do anything to get what they want, and you best stay out of their way. A lot of people that make it famous or strike it rich have this kind of attitude. Winning sports teams have it (and we all remember Charlie’s promise of a “nasty” football team) in bunches. Now, there is always a list of “nasty” people (some are still on for things done waay in the past, but the actions still resonate today) and the Blarney brings you this one because for the first time since Chris Zorich roamed the sideline, a Notre Dame player finds his way onto the list.

10 People Who Bring The Nasty

10.) John Calipari. This college basketball coach is one of the premier program-builders of this era. He’s made Final Fours with UMASS (who has no business being good) and Memphis. The problem is, he wants to build a winner so badly, he doesn’t bother with “pesky” rules of the game. Have a fill-in take an entrance exam for a star player? No problem. Pay off an athlete? Done. Calipari was the kid who would take Monopoly money from the pile when you weren’t looking so he could put property on Boardwalk.

9.) Andy Samberg. One of SNL’s newest “it” guys. He writes some of the funniest songs out there. Old dating moves like the “oops, we ran out of gas”, and the “penis in the popcorn” are too old school for this guy-he upped it a notch by truly making the first gift that “keeps on giving”. Oh, and don’t leave him around your mother, either.

8.) Howard Stern. Strippers, porn stars, and whores, oh my! This guy ruled the airwaves (and now outer-space waves) by generally doing his best to offend conservative America. The best way to do that? Naked women, and lots of ‘em.

7.) Dennis Leary. Hey, let’s face it, this comedian is an asshole. He doesn’t believe in no smoking sections, and doesn’t think you should get a special parking spot just because you have to wheel yourself around in a chair.

6.) Walter A. Anderson. The founder of White Castle. The fast food chain that has wreaked more havoc on your digestive system than any other in the history of grease. Because of this place, we now know what a “Slyder” is.

5.) Eric Olsen. The Notre Dame center welcomed freshman sensation Manti Te’o to the field by pancaking him during a practice. When Te’o make the mistake of trying to get back up, Olsen shoved him down again. That’s right, stay down son. That is the attitude that Notre Dame players have often been missing, and the only thing Olsen could have done better is peeing on the field to mark his territory.

4.) Nikki Six. The bassist for Motley Crue had so much love for getting f’d up on drugs, that he actually decided to shoot up hard alcohol into his system one time. That’s right, drinking it didn’t do the job fast enough, he took liquor and a needle, and injected it into his veins. Wow.

3.) Martha Stewart. Starting a “DIY” empire and living like a queen wasn’t enough for greedy Martha. So, when she had the opportunity to make more money in the stock market with the help of inside information, she took it.

2.) Jeffrey Skilling. The former Enron president is one of the shadiest business man alive. To wit: “Under Skilling, Enron adopted mark to market accounting, in which anticipated future profits from any deal were tabulated as if real today. Thus, Enron could record gains from what over time might turn out losses.” This led to hiding debt, and manipulating stock price. Why build trust in your company by actually making profits when you when you can use David Copperfield-like accounting magic?

1.) “Jo-Jo” Williams. This is a man who who loved getting laid so much that he was on trial in the 90’s for “knowingly giving hundreds of women” the Aids virus. It was the women’s fault that they got into the situation they were in though, “because women should have been taught to keep their legs closed.”

Note: Some of the people on this list let the “nasty” take over logic and reasoning and went “just a little” too far. My hope is that more ND players start to blend the “nasty” into their play, but also with a little bit of brain power as well.
