General Sports Discussion

[iceman]

I don't mind Gomes too much when he does the occasional Sox game on NESN but yeah I've never been a huge fan.

Jim Gray is a good call, forgot about him. Fuck that guy.

[BmillsSkier]

Joba Chamberlain is a tool.

[Timberridge]

He was never the same after the midges attacked him.

[iceman]

That scene with Joba getting tormented by gnats is a favorite.

edit: midges, gnats...

[BmillsSkier]

He was never the same after the midges attacked him.

Whereas the pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona (age unknown) pitches like they didn’t even exist. What a game.

That gives me an early idea for tomorrow’s General Sports Discussion topic: your favorite crazy moment in sports. Put hold on for now I’ve got a whole day to weigh potential topics, thanks.

[Timberridge]

So we're still on today's topic?

[BmillsSkier]

So we're still on today's topic?

Yes for now. And of course everyone is free to weigh in on previously discussed topics. We’ll find our groove here I’m sure.

[SkiBall]

So we're still on today's topic?

For the next three hours or so.

[BmillsSkier]

For a forum that has 1,226 pages of shit that annoys them I’m guessing we can crank out a few more hours of hated sports figures.

[plugboots]

My most hated sports figure is Jimmy Carter for not letting our athletes go to the Olympics.

[Timberridge]

I heard Ty Cobb was a real asshole. Perhaps Old Goat or Wooley can confirm this?

[PassTheDutchie]

That I knew. It's a pretty brilliant logo.

I didn't get this for like the first 30 years of my life.

[Timberridge]

I could never figure out what the letters "elb" had to do with the Expos.

Fuck Ulf Samuelsson

[JimmyCarter]

Get fucked.

[eagleskier]

most hated:
Pete Carroll - just because...
Vlade Divac - for introducing the art of "flopping" into the NBA.
I used to hate Bill Belichick, but now I just admire him in a twisted sort of way. He's a football genius. He may also be a master cheater.

[SkiBall]

I used to hate a lot more players in years past. Today if you're on the list, it is earned.

Can we have a day for those we don't hate but just have an urge to punch in the face?
1. Eli Manning
2. Eli Manning
3. Eli Manning

Something something french. I have 10 francs says it's so.

[riser4]

Is it too soon to mention you know who?

[JimmyCarter]

It’s emb, for expos de Montreal baseball, but its French and baseball is American, which is why they had to go away.

[BmillsSkier]

If you'll allow me an update to yesterday's topic, the Cleveland Browns unveiled their new uniforms today and they went back to the Kosar era, and I'm ok with that.

I thought it was a stylized M?

Looks like they went back to 2014, which I'm OK with. White jersey with brown pants looks great. Won't miss the orange pants at all.

It was French Canadian. Even the French don't like the French Canadians.

Yeah, I can't disagree with that at all.

Well there's hate. And then there's Ulf fucking Samuellsson.

edit: oops just saw Self Jupiter's post of Ulf. But Ulf is hateable enough for everybody.
