WATCH: Soccer bad boy fakes getting hit, takes one of the worst dives in history – CBS sports.com (blog)

When it comes to world soccer, Joey Barton is one of the first bad boys that comes to mind for anyone who knows the sport. The midfielder, though talented, has a temperament only rivaled by Frank Constanza.
