He's a playmaker, sure. But I'd rather my corner sacrifice his interception numbers than allow receivers to juke and sprint by him every other play. And all this nonsense about him being such a dangerous return man?
He's never taken a punt or kickoff to the house, so we can put that one to rest now. Yeah, I said it. And for all the talent that he has brought into Oakland, they have nothing to show for it. Not even a World Series appearance. I am a huge A's fan, and I would never consider firing Billy a smart move.
The man does wonders with what little payroll he has. But, GMs are ultimately measured by rings. And for the amount of rings zero , he has a lot of movies about his philosophies on how to get that ring one.
I just think everyone needs to calm down and recognize him for what he is: a smart, thrifty GM with a better eye for talent than most. But don't crown him king until he actually wins something. Not to take away from the drastic improvement the Longhorns have made since last season, but nobody bought into that start and the high ranking that resulted from it. Texas fans must have been kidding if they thought they were going to keep it close with Oklahoma. How badly they got blown out just verifies that they are overrated.
Watching that game was worse than a Nicolas Cage movie. Yes, this one is designed to shock you. And they've put the Brewers in a position to reach the World Series, so what in hell am I being so nit-picky about? Those are the Milwaukee trio's career numbers. They all have good stuff and the ability to dominate Greinke does have a Cy Young after all , but I think people see them as one very good unit and assume they are all great pitchers.
Let's take a step back, look at the numbers and realize that in the end, they are all essentially just as down as they are up.
Greinke has always been inconsistent, Marcum didn't even hardly get noticed until a couple years ago, and Gallardo seems to like to have a fantastic start sandwiched by two horrible outings. I might have to remove Greinke's name from this list, though.
Upon further investigation, new evidence has been brought to the table that would render any athlete's status as overrated completely moot. Explain to me how that goofy looking mug up there scored THIS! A Samoa would be perfectly delicious if not for that nasty coconut concoction sprinkled on top. Without that addition, we've got a combination of chocolate, vanilla and caramel.
If you ever told me those three ingredients could be combined and it would taste like a cookie with stale parmesan cheese on it, I would never have believed you. Somehow, Samoa's are the second most popular type of Girl Scout cookie. That's absolutely ridiculous. I honestly think I'd have to be starving to death to nibble on a Samoa.
This travesty of popularity of the Samoa is beyond me. If this list wasn't on a sports website, this baffling oversight by the general public might top the list.
Look at that picture; is that the flakes of deep fried Rice Krispies? Onion ring residue? I don't get it. Kiffin was a great offensive coordinator for years with USC, but also had the benefit of having the most talented teams in the nation at his disposal.
I'm not saying he's a poor play-caller, but my goodness has this guy ever parlayed that job into a rich future.
On what grounds the late Al Davis hired Kiffin, I'll never know or understand. He won five games in just over one full season and left a wake of destruction in his path. He was terminated for good reason, and lost his grievance that he was unjustly fired.
We all found out later that it was because he was constantly lying and violating rules. So, what does the University of Tennessee do? They hire him! Ah, that makes sense. They learned their lesson after one decent season, when he bolted for USC, leaving more controversy in Knoxville. Now USC is the unfortunate recipient of a ridiculous overrated coach at the helm. I'll never get it. I hate Kiffin and anyone who supports him.
The only thing that I hated more than the Giants winning the World Series last year, was that I knew how much credit Sabean would get for it. He is far and away one of the worst GM's in baseball today. Now before people go crazy and start listing all the big names he drafted, keep in mind that a GM doesn't sit in front of a computer and select a roster like a fantasy draft.
Sabean's scouts go out, evaluate the best players, advise him on who to select and then stand by and watch as he announces who the Giants have chosen.
That's not necessarily a knock on Sabean in particular; it's the same for every team. Where a GM is ultimately judged is on his non-draft transactions. Trades, free agents, etc. But, wait! Ask any rational baseball fan, and they will agree that sometimes everyone gets lucky. I'm not saying the Giants were bad or didn't deserve to win the World Series last year, but how did those four guys perform this year? That's what I thought. Before you mount one last comeback to dispute this ranking, I'll shoot two words your way: Barry Zito.
Enough said. By the way, the Giants cheat. Just kidding. Or am I? They are just so I can absolutely support revolutionizing jerseys, and I know that Nike has a big role in the U of O athletic department. But that's no excuse for how ghastly a lot of their new uniforms have been. What I can't stand behind is putting a players' name on the back of the jersey in a color that is so similar to the base color, that it's nearly invisible.
I can't argue with the results The entire project as a whole is overrated, but these specific ones are perfect! Although they might be bad luck.
Hmm, okay. Carry the one amount of big mistakes involved in this deal , multiply by three length of a contract Werth should have gotten and divide by 10 amount, in millions, he should have earned and you get He made just under a million dollars per home run this season. If I was making that much per homer in high school, well I'd have.
One million dollars! Shut up, I was a gap hitter. At least Werth less could spare some change for that super cool side burn 'do he's rocking in the picture. Nebraska is so full of talent it's ridiculous. So why do they always seem to disappoint in crunch time? Because Taylor Martinez is at the helm. He's a dynamic mobile quarterback and I've seen him make some nice throws. But he's got a bad completion percentage, throws about the same amount of picks as touchdowns through the air and just can't come up with a big throw when the time calls for it.
He's like a less accurate version of Jake Locker. Maybe that's why they were embarrassed in the Holiday Bowl last year against Locker's Washington Huskies. I'd like to see Martinez split wide or in the backfield to utilize his athleticism. But there's got to be a better QB option in Lincoln.
Look at him just carelessly throwing the ball away in the picture! Photographic evidence that he is overrated. Oh boy, we've got more facial hair problems. That stache is filthy. But he's on here because he's really just not that good. You tell me how a pitcher with a career record of and a 4.
Wright tackle a Baltimore ball carrier for a loss on fourth-and And the replay shows Wright line up wide and run a stunt inside around two defensive linemen. The Mannings spent the entire game rooting for neither the Ravens nor the Raiders. But they spent the whole time rooting for whichever offense was on the field. And the commentary came with the kind of humility that made these two millionaire Super Bowl winners immensely relatable.
He eventually found Marquise Brown for a yard score. He was never looking at the linemen. The commentary also pulled no punches. Both brothers called out officials for penalizing the Raiders for an offensive pass interference when a Las Vegas receiver barely got near the Ravens defender. I knew the guy, good guy. But he called the worst holding call. I let him have it. I felt so bad, I asked the NFL for his address.
I was going to write him an apology letter. They thought I was going to go and egg his house or something. The Mannings seemed astonished the Ravens played mostly zero coverage on defense and could often accurately predict what coverage both defenses would be in before the ball was snapped. The Raiders typically stayed in zone and the Ravens attacked, often bringing zero blitzes that forced their defensive backs to cover man-to-man.
Everybody liked you. There were a few bumps in the broadcast. Microphones went in and out several times, and the broadcast cut to commercial while the Mannings were in mid-sentence a few times.
There was also a fire alarm that interrupted the game just before halftime, and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce painted the broadcast blue with some foul language in the third quarter. Still, the Manning brothers had a lot of chemistry, doled out a ton of football knowledge, and kept things light with Barkley, Kelce, and two other guests — Ravens Hall of Famer Ray Lewis and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who was terrific analyzing the action at the end of the game.
