For Sports Jerk Of The Year, my hands-down winner would be Tom Brady. He cheated, he lied, and he crowed about it. All this at the highest level in the most significant of American spectator sports.
I remember Bobby Riggs would play people using a frying pan instead of a racket and win handily. One of the greats who deservers to remembered for so much more than just battle of the sexes II
Pretty hard to go to your backhand with a cricket bat because the non-batting side is angled.And, yes, Bobby Riggs was a much better player than he’s been given credit for since losing to Billie Jean King, a match he was rumored to have lost on purpose because he was heavily in debt at the time and some people REALLY wanted to be paid off.

What if we replace the racquets with cestas and those wuzzy tennis balls with baseballs ?
