Top Five Drama Queens in the NFL

5) Clinton Portis, Washington Redskins
Portis is the cat who thinks that interviews are time for him to dress up like a 12-year-old on Halloween. Recently, he went on a rant toward his coach. Sarcastically calling your coach a genius is worth a lot of drama queen points.

4) Joey Porter, Miami Dolphins
Does this guy ever not have something to say? Whenever there’s an issue, Porter is first to give his opinion. His latest soundbite has him defending guns and Plaxico Burress. The odd aspect of his talkative ways is that he’s not that good on football. Plus he plays defense and those guys are usually quiet.

3) Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys
Now with T.O. getting up there in years, he’s not as boisterous as he used to be in his younger days. He’s limited his suicide attempts and now just seems to be trying to win games. But even if he’s cleaned up his act, he was a drama queen for a long enough time to earn a lifetime inclusion on this list.

2) Chad Ocho Cinco, Cincinnati Bengals
Just look at that name. That’s all that needs to be said. If you are a drama queen enough to change your last name to your nickname, you are one of the biggest drama queens in the NFL. Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco has vowed to be less of a distraction going forward but we’ll believe that when we see it.

1) Brett Favre, New York Jets
How many times as this guy retired? He seems to have “retired” the last half dozen years. His retirements are noteworthy because he’s usually crying and getting everyone riled up to throw praise his way. Then he comes back like most smart people knew he would all along. Favre has taken drama queening to a whole new level.
