I have american idol to thank

or rather, Randy Jackson for introducing "pedestrian" to my list of description of things. "Titans was so pedestrian, only Sam Worthington's accent was nice." "The drumming was pedestrian, it lacked both heart and feel." To this new word I add my own, "sedentary", which has the same effect of shrinking the recipient down to realistic size. Thank you AMI.

For me, the most uneducated of soccer viewers, I found this line in the commentary very entertaining:

"Vidic's muscular presence prevented Drogba from finishing what would normally be for him an easy header."

What the hell is a muscular presence?
