08:04 AM ET 02.09 | Seems Michael Vick's reputation rehab still has a ways to go. [Vick] has been named "America's Most Disliked Athlete" by Forbes. The polling conducted by Neilsen and partner E-Poll Market Research says 60 percent described Vick as an athlete they "dislike," "dislike somewhat" or "dislike a lot." It is certainly not the first time that Vick has found himself on a list like this. Vick just edged out Tiger Woods in the polling. Woods also hit at 60 percent but he had fewer respondents say "dislike a lot," giving Vick the dubious crown. Forbes says Vick, "continues to struggle with casual NFL fans who know him mainly for his dog fighting legal mess, even as close followers of the sport love him."
