Especially since his NFL career has gone down the toilet, the former USC star has had plenty of time to party. He's never shied away from the spotlight where partying is concerned, and that's because he's simply a fan of having a good time.

Now that he's taking a hiatus from golf, Tiger Woods has plenty of time to get his party on. Based on his recent injuries, he may not want to go too hard, but the former world No. 1 golfer has been known to enjoy himself when off the golf course. Perhaps a drink or two could help him forget about his horrific swing as of late.

Matthew Stafford was the golden boy quarterback at Georgia, which logically turned him into quite the party animal. He always had a woman on his arm and was all for having a good time. He seems to have toned it down a bit now that he's a professional, but that doesn't mean you could out-party him if you tried.

Joakim Noah has been out of the spotlight lately, but he's a crazy guy who loves to have fun. When he's on the court, he's as intense and professional as it gets, but when he gets off it, he's really goofy. He's the perfect example of the "work hard, play hard" mentality.

Derek Jeter has a laundry list of impressive women he's been with, and he didn't just pick them up off the streets. It appears Jeter is as smooth with the ladies at parties as he once was at the shortstop position. He doesn't so much go hard as he parties right and usually leaves with a woman on his arm.

Charles Barkley is a little crazy, but in a good way. Anyone who watches him on TNT's NBA pregame coverage is well aware of that. Especially back in his playing days, he had as much fun as anyone in sports. Based on his crazy demeanor, it's a good bet he can still party hard nowadays as well.

Non-soccer fans in the United States may not be aware of Mario Balotelli, but they should be. He's a wild guy and he has a crazy personality, which obviously lends him to a party-oriented personality. The Italian soccer player knows how to go hard, even if he makes some people mad in the process.

As has been well-documented, Michael Phelps has a little too much fun when he parties. He has had some run-ins with the law based on his partying exploits, but that hasn't stopped him. With training potentially coming up for the next Olympic games, he may have to tone it down for now.

He was nuts during his playing days, and he's still nuts today. Dennis Rodman is truly one of the unique personalities in sports -- for God's sake, he hangs out with Kim Jong-Un. Rodman just has a very mysterious aura surrounding him, and that makes him an interesting party animal.

Now that he doesn't have to focus as much about being a shutdown closer, Brian Wilson can be even more of a party animal than he's been in the past. His crazy beard is just one way to know he's a strange dude, but that just makes him that much more fun to party with.

Johnny Manziel isn't partying much now, as he's in rehab, but in the past he went as hard as any other person in sports. Most notably, he attended a frat party at the University of Texas while he was a student at rival Texas A&M. He's had various other party moments exposed, and it has put the picture in the public's mind that he's a frat guy who will never quite grow up.
