Top ten worst sports owners in history

Bryan Colangelo won the NBA Executive of the Year Award today, following in his father's footsteps and continuing the NBA's dogged persistence in giving awards to teams that get bounced from the playoffs in the first round. That got me thinking about some of the worst men to occupy front offices in the history of sports. It's a delicate game because you have hands-off owners done in by shoddy personnel men and corporate owners who don't give a thought to anything beyond the balance sheet as well as micromanagers who use their cunning to run teams directly into the ground. The list you'll see below is heavier on the latter side, it's much more difficult to blame corporate governors for doing their jobs than it is to find fault with owners who use their positions to burnish their own pockets and fame. Leave your thoughts about who's being judged too harshly, though it's hard to imagine there are many who don't deserve scorn on this list, and who we may be giving too easy a pass.
