Athlete: Don Bradman

Now Sir Don had a batting average of 99.94. The next person close to him in history is around the 50s or 60s im not to sure but Sir Don was twice as good as the person second to him. Is there anyone else in history of any sport that is twice as good as the bloke below him, Jordan, Woods, Federa, Schumacher and Ali and all the greatest sure weren't. Just making sure you know this and seeing if you will reconsider. Your opinion though.

You have to be rated to be overrated. Don't think radiohead were ever rated by the popular music community. More so with middleclass, uni or intellectuals. Why say Radiohead when you could easily put down U2

On another note has it all gone downhill for Jessica Alba since Dark Angel? I always rated her in that.
Whoever said Nadal is a peanut! Bradman! now you're being silly!!!
NBA= overrated
College Basketball = underrated

If gay is the first thing that comes to your mind when watching 300 i suggest you watch the movie again because theres nothing gay about 300 men dieing for there country and beliefs you sick ****.

 

[Roos4eva]

College Basketball = underrated

'ken oath. Do enjoy the NBA at times, though.

And on that note, American Sports are overrated (apart from Basketball to an extent).

As for women, Miranda Kerr sticks out.

"300 is how much out of 10 it's a gay movie"

Lmao

 

[lions_den]

Male: Dare I say it: Muhammed Ali. Not that he's isn't one of the greatest boxers of all time, but he's praised as a hero - and in some ways he might be - but he was also extremely loud-mouthed and disrespectful. People who have never actually seen him in action or know nothing about boxing get told he's the greatest of all time, and believe it without second guessing it at all. Joe Frazier had just as good a career, and was one of the few to beat Ali, but gets no recognition at all compared to Ali. Not trying to rag on him, but it's overrated if you get THAT much recognition compared to others of your era who were just as good.

I actually saw Joe in person recently being pushed around in a wheel chair, quite sad actually. Wonder why he's in Aus? Possibly just a holiday.

How dare you....

 

[Mr Gor]

Bit of a contradiction there.

well actually, no, you're not totally calling me out here bud. i was saying how the big bang theory isn't rated highly in general, so it's hard to say it's overrated no matter how crap it is. so you think you can dance, however, is happening in different countries and grabs massive audiences everywhere, and in my opinion it's just dance auditions mixed with video diaries.

Yes, gay men. Watch from 2:30 onwards.

That's a quality interview!

 

[Mr Gor]

not sure if you're quoting me or not but i Underrated it. top show.

"Underrated: big bang theory compared to two and a half men"
as in its closer to two and a half men as people think.

don't think i was quoting you cos i saw the name pop up in a few posts.

but, big bang theory is possibly the most lame, predictable, forced and cliched "comedy" i've seen in my life. if they took the laugh track off it you'd think you were watching a home-made drama. there's seriously nothing original or funny in that show. saying it's close to two and a half men isn't a good thing!

tried em once when they were the craze of the town (can't believe people were lining up for this shit), and was disgusted. kri/espy kremes does donuts a disservice. absolutely shithouse! donut king truly is the king of kings...

i would also like to know which streets you walk down

I actually saw Joe in person recently being pushed around in a wheel chair, quite sad actually. Wonder why he's in Aus? Possibly just a holiday.

really?? sure it was him? boxer's often have a sad reitrement. i brought him up mainly cos i recently watched a doco on him and ali's trilogy. he claims to be the reason that ali's got parkinsons these days and treats it as him having the last laugh for how bad ali treated him! kinda crazy

Saw him at the casino, didn't know who it was but everyone including the dealers were saying it was him.

Copenhagen donuts does not agree!
