Damn. It's been a long couple weeks but I'm back on the blog thing. This won't be a long entry, but I'll make it as delicious as I possibly can. Let's do a little house cleaning before we get this thing going.
1) For those who watched Wrestlemania, it wasn't bad. I had Cena beating The Rock to signify the 'passing of the torch' but I was wrong, and OH BOY have I never been happier to have been wrong about something, especially when it's scripted.
ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!

3) American Dad is an underrated show. That's why I will strongly urge you not to watch American Dad on Sundays @8:30pm/Eastern time on FX.
4) In case you missed #2, please follow me on Twitter @iAmFreitas

| One of the best characters on Television right now. |
The majority of people I know, have no f**king idea what that word even means. To me, something (or someone) is overrated because it receives far too much popularity than it deserves, when in reality, it's not nearly as good as advertised. Kind of like:
- The Walking Dead (I don't care how many enemies this makes...it's overrated and you know it!)
- The Twilight series (So now I'm supposed to be okay with Vampires being impervious to sunlight, and that they shimmer and glisten like a Honey-Dip donut? Please leave.)
- St. Patrick's Day (It's the first of three Alcoholic Christmases. It's also a day that the Irish lose all credibility and good word they've spent the year acquiring.)
To the people I know, overrated is something (or someone) that everyone likes, so they choose not to like it because it makes them, 'different' and, 'cool' or, 'intelligent.'
People like to call LeBron James overrated, yet they have no valid reason to call him that in the first place. The guy is a freak both physically and athletically, and he came into the NBA with skill beyond his years. Adding to that, he's just fun to watch and I don't know a single Basketball fan that doesn't like dunking or seeing someone put on a show. (When necessary)
People tend to call LeBron overrated because he hasn't won a championship (which isn't a valid argument) or simply because everyone else likes him, so the only choice is to hate on him and call him overrated. Oh, and don't forget Laker fans. Youuuu f**king ridiculous Laker fans, you. You thought I forgot about you? Hell no. You think anything and everything not named, "Kobe Bryant" is overrated.
On a more serious note, you know who's the poster-boy for being overrated? Timothy. Richard. Tebow. The most popular backup Quarterback of all-time is the definition of overrated.
Yes, he lead the Broncos to many comeback wins.
Yes, he helped them get into the playoffs.
Yes, he brought energy, hope, and popularity to a team and a city that hasn't felt it since Elway's days.
Does any of this make him a good NFL Quarterback? Not in the bluest of hells. We tend to forget that in almost all of those games he played, he was horrible for most of them. We also forget that he doesn't play defense and it was his defense that kept the Broncos in the game. I'm not knocking on Tim Tebow at all, because from what I read and from what I see in his interviews, he's a person of great character and he's managed to become one of the most popular and polarizing figures in all of professional sports. The guy is talented as hell and he's a pretty big guy too. He possesses good size for the position and he has the potential to be good, but he lacks the skill and fluidity that a starting NFL Quarterback should have. What makes him overrated to me, is the fact that people tend to put him on this massive pedestal and glorify him beyond all belief, yet he's not that good at what he does. He's good in small doses, but he's not something you can completely rely on. On top of that, every time he mentions Jesus or God, jersey sales and Twitter followers shoot up. To me, that screams overrated. Does Tebow have the potential to be great? Absolutely. Just not with the Jets. In fact, nobody has the potential to be anything with the Jets. I was a fan of Sexy Rexy Ryan, then he started playing Mark Sanchez too much, when he should have glued his ass to the bench. Oh, and there was that thing with the foot fetish...Rex...what the f**k man?
*SIDE NOTE: Tim Tebow has created 2012's version of Allen Iverson's, 'practice' rant.
This is f**king gold.
*EXTRA SIDE NOTE: I know that this quickly turned into a sports comparison, but athletes are the easiest to deem, 'overrated' or, 'underrated.'
Next blog, I'll be talking about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie coming out. I'll also give my opinion on a few NBA topics that are of interest right now. Finally, I'll be touching on a subject that I've been meaning to discuss for a while...Young people and their knack for being dumb. Check it out!
Closing out this entry is a song that recently entered my, "Stuck In My Head" Hall of Fame. Enjoy!
The chorus to this song > Jesus.
