I saw best and worst baseball uniforms earlier today.

The "bad" ones were truly bad.  But the hideous "Hawaiian sunset" unis of the ca. 1980 Houston Astros were ranked "the best."  And the shorts-and-big-lapels White Sox unis were ranked "very good."  Yuck!

I noticed that Top Ten Beaches changes every year quite a bit.  I figure somebody is "paying" to be on the list, or not.

Top 100 BBA places in the US is probably based on some Facebook poll or something akin to that just to get some names.  Some barely known but very good out of the way place wouldn't have a chance.  Then they might randomize the rankings a bit, or not.

Top 50 sports movies, which I just saw, obviously is just their opinion intended to get clicks.\

I noticed long back that Consumer Reports would give different ratings to cars like the Chevy Nova and Pontiac that was the same car for things like rust or suspension or whatever when there was no difference.  The engines were different.  There were a lot of parallel cars made during that period that would show up with rather different rankings.  It made me suspicious, then I read later about how they evaluate laundry detergents, it was a joke, very amateurish, which is to be expected of course.

I stopped paying CR any attention.

1.  And finally, ultimately, lists designed to get you to click on a site just to see where your guy/team is on a list.
I was going to start with this list but the bucket list at home is no 1

"See how gorgeous Sophia Loren (or whomever) is today."  You click on it and you get Meg Ryan, Margot Kidder, Joan Lunden, et. al., and eventually give up without having ever seen the one you wanted to see.
Shame on you,you should be researching job related material or enhancing those skills.I mean who clicks on Oregon Cheerleader links?

And I also don't want to hear about someone's gambling results for the weekend. "Wow, I want 4-2 on the weekend and I bet 70 units."  I don't care about your gambling success, I don't care about your units, and I don't care about what you're saying if you're talking about betting lines.


Those hacks are carnival barkers for sure.Their shows use to litter TV programming every Sat/Sun morning.The one guy was caught telling half the people who called to take the Dogs and the other half to take the Chalk.Stu Feiner I think it was - real douche nozzle.What were you going do if you lost - sue them?Gambling is still basically illegal unless of course the state's getting a cut"Ya Louie some guy named Nubbz is on line 3 wants to know why our 10* All Galaxy,Out of This World can't lose Play of the Decade tanked."

Based on how many beers you've had,how much you hate the teams they pick and how pissed they can get you.I'm sure that fine Christian Folks like Hugh Freeze and Dabo Sweeney compile these things

The cheerleader lists are funny. I often see Buckeye fans bemoan the fact that they have "ugly" cheerleaders while USC and Oregon get to have "hot" cheerleaders.

In reality OSU would absolutely curb stomp USC and Oregon in any type of cheer competition. OSU rolls out a top five squad annually, while USC just stuffs hot girls into sweaters.

Now I know that guys don't particularly give a crap about cheer competitions of course, and most would rather just have a bunch of hot girls in sweaters instead of actually rolling out a competitive competition squad every year. But damn, that has got to get old. They work their ass off only to be told time and again that they are "worse cheerleaders" than the eye candy squads.

Lists of top 10 pizzas are the worst.

Hell, the Columbus metro alone has well over a hundred different pizza places. I doubt there are more than a dozen people in the area who have tried over 30 of them. The pizza ranker tasked with making the list might  have never even heard of the actual top ten pizzas in the area because they could all theoretically be mom and pop shops located clear across town from where they reside. 

It's ludicrous really that anyone would even attempt to tackle such a list.
