So I was talking with my buddy the other day about how good Kevin Durante is and this was his exact quote, "Damn he's so good he's almost as good as T-Mac was."
That statement blew my mind! Tracy Mcgrady was a poor man's Kobe Bryant even at the prime of his career. Tmac was lucky enough to be 6-9 and be an adequate enough shooter to be able to shoot over people.
I will never understand why he was ever given a max contract because he vanished just as fast as he was crowned a good player.

Web of horrors
Ok so I'll preface this by saying I was about 12 when the laker kings rivalry was at it's peak in the early 200's. Even as a young boy I knew I hated Chris Webber but more importantly I hated the fact that people believed he was any good.
This is the same genius who called a timeout he didn't have and in turn lost his team a chance at a national championship!
Chris Webber was a powerforward who played like a slow fat shooting guard and I will always remember the man who could never beat the lakers and for that he is overrated.

Redskin rash
It's official I have completely given up on Donavon McNabb. I was on of his last and only supporters going back to his Philly days. I feel betrayed, how did he not know I was one of the last fans who thought he could still make a difference for a team?
The biggest mistake I feel I made was believing that his age, 34, he still bad enough in the tank to lead a team to the playoffs. The flaw in my logic was the fact that McNabb has always been an extremely overrated!!
In his 10 Seasons in an Eagles uniform McNabb had at least 6 Superbowl caliber teams yet he only made it to one big game and he literally ran out of gas. I feel bad for the guy but I feel worse for myself for believe g in him.

Mile high letdown
I was just reading the latest football news and apparently Josh McDaniels has been relieved of his head coaching duties for the Denver Broncos. The Broncos saw no reason to allow McDaniels to finish his second season as the Broncos head man, all I can say is... about time!
Just because McDaniels fell off the Bill Belichick coaching tree he was given the keys to the castle of one of the biggest franchises in football. In his tenure as head coach of the Broncos he has done nothing more than run his franchise quarterback out of town and lost more games than he's won in one of the worst divisions in football. All I can say is good riddance.

America's fallen quarterback
When I was watching the Dallas Cowboys over Thanksgiving I noticed that they could have and should have won with John Kitna as their quarterback. That's right America's team looked better with Kitna than it had all year with Tony Romo.
Does anyone even know where Tony Romo went to college before getting picked up by the cowboys in 2005? I do... and believe me it's not very impressive, Eastern Illinois. No wonder he came out of nowhere when he took over for Drew Bledsoe five years ago.
It's impossible to name one big game Tony Romo ever won, I mean would this guy even be famous if he hadn't been in a relationship with Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood? In reality those are the two biggest wins of his career.
Kidds play
The other day I was arguing sports with my brother, as usual, and we began discussing the NBA and it's aging point guards like Steve Nash and Jason Kidd. Our argument focused on Jason Kidd. My brother was saying that Kidd has always been overrated and doesn't even have the stats necessary to put him up on the pantheon of great point guards.
Well after doing research for once in his life my brother was right, Jason Kidd was never really that good. How could I have not known this? For his career Kidd has averaged less than 14 points and 9 assists per game!
This man belongs no where near the hall of fame with these stats and the only reason he is on the all time assist list is because he is 100 years old and has been in the NBA for 70 years.

The ol' head ball choke
For 12 years the ol' head ball coach, Steve Spurrier, walked up and down the sidelines in Florida as the head football coach for the University of Florida. Even back then I was never sold on the iconic image bestowed upon him as a great coach.
In twelve years Spurrier won just one national title but at least he had one so I bit my tongue and didnt call him overrated even though I wanted to really bad. Following the 2001 season Spurrier took the money to go coach in the NFL and won a total of 12 games in two years.
Since his return to the college ranks Spurrier continues to prove my original feelings about him right, he's really not that good. Since taking over for the South Carolina Gamecocks in 2005 Spurrier has not won a national title let alone a SEC title. The closest to an SEC title Spurrier has gotten was last Saturday when his team was destroyed by Auburn in the SEC title game.
The guy can obviously coach if he's been around for this long but maybe it's time people realize that he is just an average coach that caught lightning in a bottle one season and won a championship and he will never do it again.
