Bernard Hopkins ... Hopkins' disapproval of Eagles QB Donovan McNabb is no secret. B-Hop's latest jabs came after the Birds Sunday night loss to the Giants, where Hopkins told the "Philadelphia Inquirer" that the QB lacked that "killer instinct" all athletes must have in order to get the job the done.

Carlos Zambrano ... After relinquishing five runs in a single inning to the Braves, the two were involved in a dugout scuffle that carried over into the locker room. Barrett suffered a busted lip, a black eye, and was traded two weeks later. Guess that's what happens when you mess with Big Z. (AP Photos)
Jerry Jones and ... Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hired former Arkansas teammate Jimmy Johnson to coach his team. Everything was going according to plan, and Johnson led the Cowboys to back-to-back Super Bowl victories in 1992 and 1993. But apparently Jones couldn’t take someone else stealing all the press and attempted to make his presence known. Johnson had enough and jumped ship, but it was no sweat for Jones and his ‘Boys. They would win the Super Bowl with Barry Switzer in 1995. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)
Carl Edwards and... For a quiet guy, Matt Kenseth sure gets into it with a lot of drivers. The most famous of the dust-ups was an on-camera skirmish in Martinsville with teammate Carl Edwards. Kenseth allegedly cut Edwards off in the previous weeks' race and decided to discuss the incident with Matt...using his fists.(AP Photo/Glenn Smith, File)
Jose Reyes and K... The Mets organization has voiced its distaste with Reyes’ mood swings based on the team’s win/loss record. Keith Hernandez added fuel to the fire when he accused the Mets of babysitting the young stud. Reyes took offense and the two traded barbs that nearly came to blows on the team’s plane.

Floyd Mayweather... The relationship between this father-son boxing duo has been a seesaw battle of success, fame, and fallout. Mayweather Sr. became his son’s trainer prior to his 14th professional bout. Junior fired his father as manager and trainer when their differences came to a head. There was little public conflict until Senior announced his plans to train Oscar De La Hoya opposite his son in the biggest fight of his career. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg)
Don Sutton and S... Garvey was painted as the L.A. Dodger who neglected personal stats and played the game to win. Everyone loved him, except teammate Don Sutton, who clearly stated so. Garvey had no problem giving Sutton a piece of his mind when he found out about Sutton's scathing remarks. Their bad blood came to blows in the locker room. (AP Photo/Richard Drew; Branimir Kvartuc)
Shawn Chacon and... Ed Wade asked Chacon to meet with him in the office to discuss a demotion to the bullpen. Chacon refused to go to Wade's office. So Eddy started berating Chacon publicly. Chacon grabbed the 52-year-old GM by the neck and slammed him to the ground. Chacon was released just days later. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson; AP Photo/David J. Phillip)
Tiki Barber and ... Tiki waited until he was out of the locker room and retired to talk trash about Eli Manning. Barber said Eli was not a true leader and that he was incapable of leading the New York Giants. Eli would make Barber eat his words. The "leaderless" Giants won Super Bowl XLII.

Olin Kreutz and ... What’s worse than a locker room fight between teammates? How about a fight between teammates that takes place at an FBI gun range? (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)
Jason Kidd and J... The Dallas Mavericks were a young franchise on the rise during the mid '90s. That is until Toni Braxton entered the equation. That’s right, while the Bulls were running the Triangle Offense, Jason Kidd, Jim Jackson, and singer Toni Braxton were rumored to be involved in a love triangle. Supposedly Braxton went to the Mavs' hotel to pick Kidd up for a date, only to leave with his teammate. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)
The Baltimore Ra... Not only did the Ravens go 5-11 last season, they were the only team to lose to the Miami Dolphins. Out with bad, in with the good was the Ravens' philosophy heading into the 2008 NFL season. But at minicamp, an on-field brawl involving 85 players erupted. Reports indicated that it all started when tackles Oniel Cousins and Amon Gordon came to blows after a running play. That sparked a several side fights that drew a mound of press. If that's not an example of team tenacity, what is? (AP Photo/Rob Carr)
Bill Romanowski ... In 2005, Bill Romanowski ripped teammate Marcus Williams’ helmet off and socked him. The hit was so vicious that it fractured Williams’ eye socket. (AP Photo/Alameda Police Department; Paul Sakuma)
Larry Brown and ... Yes, Iverson was just “talking about practice,” but his ongoing quarrel with ex-coach Larry Brown was a full-court issue. At one point the two were hugging, claiming they would be nothing without each other. The next minute, Brown was dogging Iverson publicly. (AP Photo/Dan Loh)
Shaquille O'Neal... Shaq and Kobe could have been one of the greatest duos in sports history. Instead, they will probably go down as one of the best-known player feuds. Kobe disliked playing second fiddle to Shaq and eventually had him shipped out of L.A. After the split, the two would send shots at each other through the media. The beef had died down, until Shaq rekindled the flame when he dissed Bryant in his freestyle. (AP Photo/Paul Connors)
Terrell Owens an... McNabb tried to take the high road and keep his in-house feud with T.O. under raps, but T.O. does nothing quietly. During a regular-season game in 2004, the feud was on display for all to see. Owens could be seen on the sideline jawing at the Eagles QB. If that wasn’t enough, T.O. stated that the Eagles would be a better team with Brett Favre. Good thing this marriage was short-lived and T.O. shipped off to Dallas. Otherwise, something more than feelings may have been hurt. (AP Photo/Rusty Kennedy)
Latrell Sprewell... It’s a coach's job to know his personnel. P.J. Carlesimo didn’t abide by this rule when he pushed Sprewell over the edge by hounding him to make crisp passes. ‘Spree’ warned him, stating, “I don’t want to hear it today.” That was the last verbal warning the coach would receive, as Sprewell choked Carlesimo to the ground in the middle of practice. The NBA suspended Sprewell for the remainder of the season. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
Reggie Jackson a... Jackson had just joined the Yankees in 1976, and manager Billy Martin already had it out for him. Things came to a head in a game against the Boston Red Sox. Martin believed that Jackson didn’t hustle to a ball hit in his direction and pulled him from the game mid-inning. When Jackson reached the dugout, the two had to be restrained after Martin attempted to throw a punch. (AP Photo)
Nancy Kerrigan a... Kerrigan and Harding were due to be teammates on the 1994 U.S. Olympic Figure Skating team. But the friendly competition during the '94 championships was too much for Harding. Harding and her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, devised an elaborate scheme to end Kerrigan’s chances of making the team. Gillooly attacked Kerrigan, clubbing her in the knee. (AP Photo/Merline Summers)
Joe Tinker and J... Tinker and Evers were a strong middle infield for the Chicago Cubs during the early 1900s. In 1905, the two were involved in a fist fight after Evers took a cab and left Tinker behind at a hotel lobby. After the fight they refused to speak to one another. Strangely, they played alongside each other for seven more years, turned numerous double plays, and won two World Series—all without a single word. The silent feud lasted 33 years until the two were asked to broadcast the 1938 World Series. (Charles M. Conlon/The Sun; AP Photo)
