    Articles like these are comical. This guy writes an article about another guy saying who the GOAT is and it takes about 5 minutes to read. Give me something to read!

    Forbes is like one step above Yahoo! and that Chinese news agency that comes up all the time with BS Rockets headlines when I do a Google search.
