Some people are more famous than good. Dale Earnhardt Jr., for example, is more famous than good. Love him, root for him. More famous than he is good. That isn't to say that he's bad. He just isn't the second coming. Someone who is creeping in to that category is Carmelo Anthony. Sure, he's good. But the other day the question "who would you rather start your team with, Carmelo or LeBron" was floating around SportsCenter and ESPN. Don't get me wrong, I hate Princess James, but what has Carmelo ever done to put him ahead of James? At least James took a team to the finals and knows how to pass. Carmelo, simply by being on the Knicks, is becoming more famous than good. So, with that in mind, here is a list of "More Famous Than Good" that Carmelo is creeping on to.
More Famous Than Good
- Ohio St. Football ... bunch of criminals who are awesome until it matters
- Vince Carter/Tracy McGrady/probably other of their cousins
- Joe Namath (173 TD passes, 220 INTs, completion percentage of 50.1%)
- The Dallas Cowboys
- David Beckham
- The Austin Powers movies ... I don't get it, I just don't
- Bill Simmons ... he's getting lazy ... you're better than this, Sports Guy
- Album cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon ... it's all over every college dorm room, but it isn't that cool
- Carson Palmer ... I feel bad about his busted leg a few years ago, but he just isn't that good anymore
- Charlie Bit My Finger ... I get it, it's kind of cute. I've also seen it seven hundred times and don't care anymore
- French food ... it sucks
- Long lasting sex ... just because they do it for 45 minutes in the pornos doesn't mean anyone actually wants to do that ... I can't think of a single thing I want to do for 45 straight minutes other than drink
- Radiohead and a bunch of other bands that people think are cool, but rarely ever listen to
- LinkedIn ... name one person you know who ever got a job because of a LinkedIn profile
- A law degree
- Snow cones ... they hurt my teeth and taste like batteries
- Newborns ... they all just look like ugly Cabbage Patch Kids
- Sayid from LOST ... think about your favorite 20 story lines ... was he part of any of them? Nope
- Christine O'Donnell ... the fact that you know who I'm talking about proves the point
