First Round: A Wee 3-Year-Old Girl vs. Linkin Park

A WEE 3-YEAR-OLD GIRL

Seed: 4

Overview: A wee 3-year-old girl last met Linkin Park four years ago in this tournament and scored a big victory.

Pros: Not Linkin Park.

Cons: Inexperience. Limited vocabulary (yet still vastly superior to her competitor's.) Also, I just can't bring myself to post a picture of a 3-year-old girl on my blog.

Outlook: This is a good match-up for a 3-year-old girl. She may still be trying to get her bearings about her, but Linkin Park is a nice practice game for her before she faces what could turn out to be an ugly scene in a second round meeting with Pirates.




LINKIN PARK

Seed: 13

Overview: Linkin Park is a comically terrible rock band from California. Some people seem to think they created a genre or transformed a genre or some dumb crap like that. Maybe they are right. I mean, where would we be without a genre where some dipshit sings the verses in boy band-like melody and then starts screaming and growling about something crawling in his skin when the chorus hits? And I guess they opened the doors for bands like, ummm, Drowning Pool.

Pros: They seem to inexplicably hang out with cool people like Jay-Z. So...maybe they are cool by association? Maybe?

Cons: You choose one.

Outlook: When Rick Rubin can't make you sound good you know you are in trouble. I see no way LP avoids getting pwned by a 3-year-old girl.
