The most annoying sports fans...ever

Fireman Ed announced he was retiring from his post as an unofficial Jets cheerleader this week. After Ed's announcement, it became apparent that no one cares. Fans should never become bigger than the game. There's no better way of proving this point than looking back on sports' most annoying fans.

Jack Nicholson and Lou Adler are the Batman and Robin of NBA fans. That is, if Batman and Robin were celebrities who inserted themselves into professional sporting events from their courtside seats while everyone else was just trying to enjoy the game.

Annoying he may be, it's difficult not to respect Chief Zee's commitment to the Washington Redskins since 1978. While attending a Redskins-Eagles game at the Vet in 1983, Zee was jumped by Philadelphia fans who broke his leg and stripped him of his costume, which is second only to trying to leave FedEx Field after a Washington home game.

The Vancouver Canucks' Green Men are the absolute worst. Faceless, shapeless, and hockey-loving do you need any other reason to be annoyed?

We get it. You're crazy. When teams come visit Duke at Cameron, you're going to be so crazy. Meanwhile, fans in Kentucky riot in the streets of Lexington when their basketball team loses and Maryland fans light anything they can on fire, but you're right -- you guys are the crazy ones.

Ronnie "Woo-Woo" Wickers is the king of freebies (he begged for tickets in the '80's while he was homeless) and terrible cheers ("Cubs-Woo, Cubs-Woo, Cubs-Woo"), Wickers is equal parts celebrated and despised.

Clipper Darrell took fandom to a new place when he started making appearances as Clipper Darrell outside of Clippers' games. This seemed strange to everyone including the Clippers who asked Darrell to stop in February. Seriously, you're Clipper Darrell, not the Easter bunny.

Tim Tebow is the most annoying fan of all. He doesn't play. He supports the team blindly. And he dresses like the backup quarterback. Stop it.
