Power Rankings: The one-word edition!

Come get your lightening round!

I love power rankings. I love them no matter who does them from Lou-Sam to Derek Rielly from Nick Carroll to Nick Carroll from Matt Warshaw to Albert Einstein. I read and think, “Such observation! Such skill! I could never write a power ranking!”

Until today.

There I was drinking sake and reading ESPN’s week two NFL power ranking and feeling bored, thinking that the writer could have summed up each team with just one word instead of a small paragraph. And then I thought, “I could do that! I could write one word!”

So without further ado:

  1. John: John
  2. Gabi: Stepson
  3. Wilko: Goofy
  4. Jordy: Nippies
  5. KS: GOAT
  6. Parko: #lifeisbetterinboardshorts
  7. Ace: Friendly
  8. Italo: Italian
  9. Julian: Snakebit
  10. Kolohe: AndDino
  11. Filipe: Dizzy
  12. ADS: Rotorooter
  13. Mick: Lebensabschnittpartner
  14. Bourez: 500
  15. Kerr: upt/azy
  16. Sea-Bass: kickhisass
  17. Caio: Ciao
  18. Wiggolly: Dantas
  19. Stu Kennedy: Forehead
  20. Nat Young: Eyes?
  21. Kanoa Igarashi: Twink
  22. Jadson: Middle-aged-hair-line
  23. Miggy Pupo: Fun!
  24. Dusty: Springfield
  25. Conner: secret-turn
  26. Adam Melling: Lebensabschnittpartner-lite
  27. Davey Cathels: I’ve got nothing. Who is he again?
  28. Jack Freestone: GOT
  29. Alejo Muniz: Yeah?
  30. Alex Ribeiro: #ibeforeeexceptafterb
  31. Matt Banting: Dane/Craig
  32. Keanu Asing: 4’11

The end.

I like that Keanu Asing and the Cleveland Browns share 32nd on the power rankings… by my predictions The Browns will rebuild into Super Bowl contenders by 2018… i can now also see Keanu being world champ 2018… “Browns and Asing 2018” you heard it here first…
on a side note “kick his ass seabass” one of the better lines from one of the best movies ever made

It’s synonymous with a really vibrant sex life and good taste in menswear. So no.

Welcome to BeachGrit! Have you been banned from our sister site STAB? That’s a pretty lame first comment… I’d like to think you can only move upwards and onwards from this moment!

Not exactly a “Power Rankings” if you’re simply going to list them by their actual rating…
Official Post-Hurley Pro Power Rankings:
1. Jordy: Goober
2. Simpo: Gallant
3. JJF: Gimpy
…
9. Fanning: Goebbels
…
22. Nat: Grendel

But what if their actual rating and their power rating is one and the same (in my heart)?

I was totally stuck on half of them and should have simply opened it all up to the comment section…which is what I hope happens anyhow.

I revel in the strict observation of the only rule of Power Rankings:

No compliments in Power Rankings unless you work at (or aspire to work at) -ER or -ING.

Oh, but your compliments don’t count as compliments. Because they’re not compliments.

I didn’t mean “Carve” in the complimentary sense, rather, the windshield-sunglasses sense.
