The Most Underrated Blog

The last time I watched a football game, between the two teams they had about 12 of the most underrated players "in the game today." 

I think one of the teams may have been one of the most underrated teams in the division, which of course was the most underrated division in the whole universe. All of this is according to Troy and Joe, the most underrated announcing duo in football, the most underrated of the ball-related sports.

As I recall, one of the cornerbacks swatted a ball away from a receiver, something that most cornerbacks do, if they're not intercepting a pass, but there was something about the way he did it apparently that apparently should have caused him to be rated higher. 

Maybe he was rated a 4 and should have been a 7 or maybe a 12. I don't really know. It would seem that however it's done, if his rating is off, at least one other person's must be off as well. I'd like to see it straightened out somehow. Because it's not only football that this who mis-rating is going.

Marcia is the most underrated of the Brady kids, Ritchie Blackmore the most underrated guitarist,  alongside Rory Gallagher who is also the most underrated guitarist. Gallagher is dead; Blackmore, as of this writing, is not. So maybe Gallagher is the most underrated dead guitarist.

Peaches are the most underrated fruit. 

There is a list of the most underrated Beatles songs. The most underrated movies, the most underrated action movies, the most underrated movies of 2019. There is a list of the most underrated guns, sneakers, and the most underrated muscles in the body (as opposed to those outside of the body, I suppose.)

The most underrated pipeline charges (I don't know what that means, but it includes the statement "...the most underrated at the most notorious reefbreak," if that helps.)

Bangkok is the most underrated city in Asia. 

There are 29 most underrated directors.

The most underrated spiritual discipline is prayer.

There apparently is a most underrated aspect of Drew Lock's game ( I don't know who that is either).

Guess how many underrated things there are to buy at an Indian Market. Give up? Eight.

Librarian is the twelfth most underrated job and computer analyst is the first most underrated job. The math behinds this is boggling. Say librarian should be first but is rated 38, and computer analyst should be 37 but is rated 128th. Then even though librarian is higher on the overall rating list, computer analyst is the furthest away from where it should be rated and thus wins "most underrated" title, which to me makes librarian the most underrated of the underrated jobs because its higher. 

You would think that if everyone agrees that someone or something is the most underrated, he or it is now correctly rated and thus, no longer underrated, but no it doesn't work that way. He still remains underrated.

You never really hear about the least underrated anything. If someone said potato chips are rated seventh as a snack, you'd probably think, "That sounds about right, you know, depending on the dip." But if they said potato chips were the most underrated snack, it really means:

1. He thinks he is the only one, or one of the few, who truly appreciate them for what they are. Those who made the rating system were wrong.

2. Someday the rest of the world will appreciate his vision of the correct ranking of snacks, dips notwithstanding.

Think about it. Saying something is underrated, doesn't just mean you like it. It means you're appreciate something more correctly. That you have the vision. That somehow the underrated thing's greatness has infused you with superior knowledge.

As a rhetorical device it's probably, you know, ...
