I know I've got a bad reputation and it isn't just talk, talk, talk.

Let's make a list of things that are over-rated and why.
I'll update this every so often when I have nothing else to talk about.
These aren't in order of importance but more in order of what's going on in my head. Enjoy.

1. Phil Mickelson


Why is Phil Mickelson the number 2 golfer in the world? He constantly chokes under pressure and almost never is in contention for a win. Then, he'll win once every few years and people go apey like he's the best thing since sliced bread. HE'S NOT THAT GOOD. You want a real number 2 golfer in the world? Try Vijay Singh.



Plus! His name means Victory in Hindi. What does Phil mean? Cocksucker?

At least Vijay is one of two players to win the FEDEX cup in it's short history. Phil hasn't come close. Let's examine his stats:

At least Vijay has two spots he is ranked number 1 in. Phil, has none.

Okay, I'm not even saying Vijay should be number two, but it certainly shouldn't be Phil. Plus, Phil was just featured on one of my favorite shows Entourage and he was the worst actor I've ever seen.

Also, doesn't he look a little uncomfortably like Hades from Hercules?



I think that even makes James Woods uncomfortable.


I think I've made my point.

This concludes number 1 in my list of the many many many many many things that are over-rated.

What could the next installment hold?

Sarah Palin's Hotness? Sure, I thought she was pretty when she was announced but can you really be that attracted to a moron of that stature?

or

Coldplay. I just....I just don't get it. I mean, "Yellow" was good when it came out...but.....really?

or

Camping. What is the fucking attraction?



We'll explore one of these worthy subjects next time! Until then...

I remain your humble obedient servant.
