I never thought of Rivera as over-rated per se, but the worshipful tones announcers on Fox, ESPN and anywhere else made it sound like he was a surer thing than Superman beating Batman in an arm wrestling match. That used to piss me off to no end, second only to the ass-kissing of Len Kasper and Bob Brenly used to do on Cubs games when Bud Selig visited their booth on WGN.
