Bob Scanlan - Padres "All-Star" Insult May Be A Blessing In Disguise
It does get a little bothersome when great individual performances are overlooked. Not because I view personal awards as being more important than team accomplishments. I just believe that by not recognizing the proper recipient it undermines the integrity of the award.

yeah any smelly similes need to be banned

after Anchorman. That movie has all the best of them you could ever want (incl the outtakes). Nothing will ever compare to “that smells like the inside of a fake leg.” Nothing.

"anti-american"

I hate when people say something is “anti-american”. Such usage is simply stupid. It’s like comparing someone to Hitler. Same goes for something being “unamerican”… usually its politicians or people who are trying to convince you to agree with them who use these terms.

end rant.
