GHD Round 2: Philippe Mexes v David James

By: chris | July 11th, 2007

Only one today, I’m trying to work out using one of those online poll whozimawhazits for the rest of the second round, that way we can get more voter turnout. Hopefully the second round will bring more people out of the woodwork.

1. Philippe Mexes CB AS Roma

v

8. David James GK Portsmouth

Mexes:

Philou absolutely dominated Rodrigo Palacio in the first match-up of the GHD, to absolutely no one’s surprise. Now, he takes on James – a much much more formidable opponent. However, this is still Philippe Mexes here. The man is the King of Pretty Hair. That’s all I need. Oh, and Mexes gets a MOVIE……

Alright, I may have very dark Crisco-looking Italian hair, but I’m going to go for Mexes look. Pictures forthcoming. Wait, maybe not.

James:

The side part could take it down, but he hasn’t stuck with it long enough. He’s got a lifetime achievement coming his way even though he hasn’t nearly reached his potential. Imagine James with a Ladies Man afro? Or a Jules Winnfield Jheri curl? Or a pompadour? Damn, now I’m disappointed. I want to see those.

That last pick is probably why the Dolphins passed on Brady Quinn in the draft this year even though they desperately needed a QB. Or it could be because Quinn is hugely overrated (I think it was Herbstreet that said if he hadn’t gone to ND he would’ve been a 5th round pick – priceless). Either one. And scratch that Mexes hair thing. I’m going for a pompadour.

    The woman just voted for Mexes. When I asked her she said, “I haven’t seen that one. I just looked at Totti. Then I looked again.”

    The sad thing is, I can’t say a damn thing. He’s a pretty man.

    Oh man. Mexes is nice and long and whateva, and James is short, but more interesting. Argh…. I think I’m going to have to go with James.

    Chris, you need to hold on to this woman (metaphorically speaking, of course). She is wise.

    Never thought about the Clark Kent corralation with James. But as I was always more of a Bruce Wayne/Batman, I’m gonna go Mexes again.

    Chris, why all the hatin on QB BQ? His brother-in-law, the equally crazt haird AJ Hawk, may come looking for you.

    Despite my reluctance to witness even the slightest glimpse of Totti/Mexes head-to-head action, I’m voting for the Frenchie.

    My page has become the Us Weekly of the offside.

    It was destiny.

    (Is Us Weekly a good reference? I really have no clue here.)

    Unless US has suddenly gone specularly gay, I don’t think it is, no.

    Ya know, all a guy is trying to do is make a pop culture reference and he just gets slammed.

    Why you gotta be like that?

    And if it is gay, fine, whatever. I’ll just start linking to lesbian porn.

    In my completely objective and thoughouly unbiased opinion (what?!), Mexes has to be declared the winner.

    Cudos to James for doing so much with so little to work with, but Phillipe’s natural ability to have golden locks (or…not locks at all, but most likely chemically straightened) and still look like a guy who could throw a punch is incredible, and due recognation. And that movie? If it wasn’t settled before, that has to push him over the finish line…I mean, blowing kisses to the girls in baby blue in a derby in front of 75,000 people? You genius you, Phillipe!

    Not US. You’re more like Perez Hilton. Who, btw, fondles Posh’s breasts in her upcoming TV show at her behest.

    Except I’m fasting from dVb news and am not allowed to talk about that right now.

    Oscar, it’s not just the blowing kisses part. It’s that two-fingered kiss. Not just anybody could get away with that.

    James marginly.
    Only because, as someone else pointed out Mexes mainly relys on his natural ability. James puts so much effort in.

    This is a tough call, but that second photo of James just sabotages everything for him. Utter lack of judgment. Yeah, he’s hella-versatile, but he’s also hella-indiscriminate; it’s like he’s just picking hairsyles out of a bag. Le Phil.

    Wow, it’s getting tricky now. And as some people have already pointed out Dave James is insane sporting some of the looks he has – and that’s why he gets my vote. Sorry Phil!
