I had a long post arguing my point when I realized... I am debating with fucking former Everquest players about sports. People whose sports IQ is as common as the common sports fan. And that is when I realized it doesn't matter what kind of facts/opinions I provide, because common sports fan generally cannot analyze and think intellectually about sports debate. And several posters who everyone knows who they are just love to bash and laugh at every opinion I post, whether it is valid or silly.
I personally think that if Rasheed Wallace ever got his head on straight, that he could potentially/possibly be one of the top 10 NBA players. Don't like it? Get the fuck out of the post then. I hardly bash people's opinions in this forum as much as this forum bashes my opinions. It truely is sad, some of you seriously need to get a life or just ignore any post/thread that I start. Otherwise, I would suggest that you respect the opinions of others regardless of how silly or dumb you think those opinions are.
And trust me, if a lot of you post your sports opinions onto various other message boards across the internet (and not a former Everquest server message board), your opinions will be so mocked and scoffed at that some of you may not mentally recover from the embarassment of your opinion that other posters on other sports message boards will give to you.
So continue to bash my opinion in the comfort of the former Lanys message board if it makes your sports e-peen feel that much better. I am quite confident that I will get over it in about, o, 3 seconds...
Ah, Cicely, posting 10,000 words just to say you don't care.
The truth is, your posts about sports make me laugh and cringe at the same time. You remind me of the nerdy guy at the bar who tries to get involved in heated debates on topics he doesn't know anything about, then comes up with some off the wall response so the rest of the guys in the conversation have to stop min-argument, turn, and say, "what the fuck are you talking about?" Then they laugh at the moron who butted in and buy each other beers, forgetting what they were arguing about in the first place.
I can tell a person's sports knowledge when I see them use the awesome "nobody wants to win as much as them!" arguments. I can tell a person's sports knowledge when I see them say, "if he just puts his mind to it, he can be the bestest!" I can tell a person's sports knowledge when half of the discussions they attempt to start begin with, "I was listening to the Dick and Head show on the radio and they said..." And I can CERTAINLY tell a person's sports knowledge when I see them say, "can someone explain to me why..."
I don't need to visit 100 other sports message boards a day like you do to come up with valid (in my opinion) arguments. I know enough to know Skip Bayless is a complete moron. I know enough to know that Avery "Jackson" wouldn't be able to coach the Suns to the promised land so I wouldn't try to tell people that he would be taking the job just because I read a prediction about it on Deadspin. Anyway, I'm sure you'll keep posting and I'll keep bashing. Life will go on. You still say you wouldn't trade Greg Oden for Kobe?
