More "Over - Under" rated
I enjoyed this so much with the music artists I thought I would do it for other categories...
Gen - Y Actors
Underrated - Topher Grace. Star of the "That 70's Show" and recently the movie "In Good Company" (which I highly recommend). Topher Grace comes acrossed as a very believable character in just about everything he's done and he rarely gets the same credit as other over-hyped actors.
Overrated - Haley Joel Osment. Destined to travel the route of other "child" actors such as Henry Thomas and Peter Billingsley, Osment has already worn out his welcome on the big screen. After the "Sixth Sense" he appeared in the infinitely ridiculous "A.I." and "Pay It Forward". He simply doesn't have a lot of range as an actor.
Former Presidents
Underrated - Theodore Roosevelt . Yeah, I know he's on Mt. Rushmore, but ask most people which presidents appear on the monument and 9 out of 10 will name hime last or replace him with FDR. Teddy was one of those great presidents who transcended party lines (he was a Republican) and simply did what HE thought was best for the country. One of his more overlooked accomplishments during his time in office was creating the USDA. So thanks to Teddy, we can all eat our hamburgers without worry of rickets!
Overrated - John F. Kennedy . I don't want it to sound like I think he was a BAD president but I think he gets a little more credit than he deserves. People often overlook JFK's bumbling at the 'Bay of Pigs' and the fact he narrowly beat out Richard Nixon in the 1960 election (probably because he looked better on camera). While Kennedy was a strong voice for civil rights, it was his successor Lyndon Johnson who eventually had the Civil Rights Act passed.
Famous Baseball Blunders
Underrated - Barry Bonds in the 1992 NLCS. "Sid Slid!" a phrase that still haunts my memories. To clarify... the 1992 Pittsburgh Pirates were everyone's pick for the World Series. Strong hitting, strong pitching, and stars throughout the order. But then in game 7 of the NLCS, former Pirate Sid "freakin'" Bream and his slow ass are sent home for the winning run on a base hit to none-other than Barry "I didn't use steriods soon enough" Bonds. Bonds couldn't muster a throw to beat out the hobbling Bream at the plate and the Braves move onto the World Series. Thanks for the memories, Barry!!
Overrated - Bill Buckner, 1986 World Series . Boston fans like to think of themselves as this mystically snake-bitten team so they invent ridiculous curses and innocent villians like Bill Buckner. Let's look at the facts, Boston relievers couldn't hold onto two-run, two-out lead in the 10th and the error occured in GAME 6 not GAME 7 as most simpletons believe. It's shameful that Buckner had to move his family out of Boston to avoid all the harassment they received.

Hi, I'm doing a college survey based upon various aspects of Fishing and I need to ask anglers from around the world to complete a short questionnaire. There are several themes including equipment fishing tackle. I'm using this site (equipment fishing tackle) to contact anglers, do you know of any other ways to do this?
Many thanks
