(FOUR) THE MILLERS
I think I actually like these two. Reggie Miller is one of the most underrated basketball players to ever hit the NBA. His commentary is a pleasure to listen to and he seems like a nice guy. Cheryl does too. She’s cool. Cheryl would have owned the WNBA if the timing would have been on her side, don’t get me wrong. It’s just whenever anyone talks about them being siblings they’re really quick to bring up and say “Cheryl was even better than Reggie!” Right. A fully developed basketball machine beat her little brother. Did they ever play as adults? We don’t hear about that.
(THREE) THE WILLIAMS
It’s not that I’m annoyed by these two in general, it’s more that I’m annoyed by tennis. I am a fan of sports and try to follow along and at least know the rules. Tennis? Not so much. I don’t know the difference between a “love” and “dove” when it comes to their scoring. I know one of the sisters was really good and one was good, but not AS good. I’m pretty sure Serena was better than Venus because she’s always popping up in the media. Then again… who knows. Tennis? Whatever.
(TWO) THE HARDYS
What’s that? Professional wrestling isn’t a sport? Just because its common knowledge that professional wrestler is predetermined doesn’t mean it’s the ONLY “sport” that is. There are plenty of examples in “real sports” so eat it, haters. As much as I love the art that is professional wrestling the fact that people like Jeff and Matt Hardy are in the business almost kills it. Jeff Hardy should be in prison right now. He was caught with TONS of illegal and harmful drugs. His case keeps being moved back and he continues to be free and make a mockery of wrestling. He needs some serious help from some serious people. TNA is not that people. Hell, apparently from his recent displays his own family are not that people. Then there’s Matt Hardy. He’s the biggest baby in wrestling. If he’s not happy he’ll post a weird video on YouTube whining and shooting. WWE’s biggest mistake was not getting rid of both of these cancers years ago. The company’s time pushing and developing these guys was bad business.
(ONE) THE MANNINGS
Screw the Mannings. The whole family comes off as smug alpha Republican-types. Peyton has the personality of a gravy fart, but gets love because he IS a good football player. I’m fed up with people proclaiming him as “one of the best ever”. EVER? The guy has ONE ring and I don’t see him getting any more. Tom Brady has enough super bowl rings that if he got into a fight and had a sock to put them in he could knock out like 20 people in a few seconds. He’s a bad ass, but he has a social life so he’s not as good? Whatever. Then there’s Eli Manning. I was raised to not make fun of the handi-capable. So I’ll leave Eli alone, but dammit I don’t like it.
