    I'm not really sure how to define "average" in his context. A guy who's about the 50th best in the world in his division is in actuality far better than "average", however many people will say he sucks.

    "In June 2006, McNeeley was arrested for allegedly driving the getaway car used in a robbery of a Walgreens in Stoughton, Massachusetts. After searching the car, police recovered $180 in cash, nine bags of peanut m&ms, and a black fanny pack which had also been stolen from the store."

    :rofl
