Have you ever hated someone and ended up liking them?

No Chris Hassel or Jon Miller name drop yet

Hassel would be about the closest I can think of, but I can't say I ever hated him. More disliked due to his hawk trolling, but since Iowa Everywhere I've grown to like him a lot. He seems fair for the most part, and one is of the few hawk fans who isn't afraid to criticize them when warranted.

The Stivers commercial he did won me over
 
I think this can be said for many (definitely not all) opposing coaches, hate the coach but like the person.
Fran McCaffrey. Total douche of a coach, but everything I've heard about him off the court, he's a good person.

Was actually thinking the same thing. He’s got some serious anger management problem and during games he’s a nut. But have heard the same thing even once the dust settles on a game he is genuinely good guy.
 
Always liked Hassel too, have come around on Miller.

Should be noted that both got better once they left Iowa, which can't be said for a lot of their tavern hok brethren
 
Vitale is like that for me. I cannot stand him as a broadcaster, but what he’s done for cancer has him in the good guy column.
Heard him speak in person once and honestly you can’t hate the man. Dislike his broadcasting style and voice even for all I care. But that dude is one of the most positive and happy people I’ve ever heard speak. He loves life and people. And yes his passion for battling cancer is stellar.
 
I could not stand Kim Mulkey when she was at Baylor. I am starting to enjoy her troll jobs and the fact that she driver's Hawkeye fans crazy makes it even more fun.

I would also go with every single character on Shameless, MInus Kevin and Lip. At one point or another I have disliked every single one of them.
My son-in-law. Hate is a strong word. Let's just say I was less than impressed by him. The first time I met him, we were together with my daughter for about 2 hours and he never took his nose out of his phone or said more than two words, none directed toward me. He turned out to be a pretty solid guy, however, and is now a police officer in the town I live in.
 
Brett Favre? So you hated him as a player, but started liking him after he sent **** pics to women and stole welfare money?
Hated him early on as a Packer, loved him as he got older, and as a Viking. Didn't care about the **** pics, now hate hit for the welfare theft.
