Summer Poll

I didn't like the post. I didn't think it was funny, I didn't think it was useful information and I thought the delivery seemed a bit unhinged.

Honestly I don't have a problem with the subject of sports groupies. Most of us have known about them for as long as we've been big fans of sports. I think most of us heard about Shawn Kemp having a bunch of kids with different women all over the country. We knew about it before that. I actually think it's probably a stereotype that's a little overstated. So I don't think it is kept under wraps or should be.

It's the way you choose to address these things that I find distastefully strange. I think whatever you're trying to inject into these topics is either intentionally antagonistic or sadly disconnected. If you don't understand why I find your posts off putting then I think that's seemingly problematic for you. Again, I hope you're doing OK and if you are then I guess have fun trolling.

I respect you and your opinion and you express yourself quite intelligently. I also appreciate the non-blocking. I realize I am provocative and "unhinged" makes me chuckle. I liked it.

You do your thing. It doesn't have to be what I like for it to add a little color to the forum. I appreciate a variety of points of view and yours is definitely different.

They are strange. That's what is somewhat entertaining about it. In a forum with so many smart people talking X's and O's and dissecting the minutia of every aspect of sports with very intelligent, yet serious takes, I find it brings a bit of brevity to such a serious time in life and on this forum. I am encouraged to read someone who isn't so agro about everything. He isn't insulting anyone and he isn't picking fights. His takes are, at times, quite odd and humorous to me. It beats mom and wife jokes hands down, in my humble opinion.

Wow, thank you, kind sir. I have come off as insulting and made some careless and admittedly 'dumb' posts a couple times, which did help me to realize that even faceless entities on an internet forum have feeling and I should not take that lightly.

Yes, I suppose I do have a strange and bizarre sense of humor. I do tend to gravitate towards injecting some random mindlessness into things. Kind of mimicking the real world in a wryly sardonic and exaggerated way. Sometimes not so exaggerated, though.

I hear what you are saying about the typical types of discussions around the sport and the yearly ins and outs. I suppose my takes on things are often outside of that.

I'm kind of surprised by this topic, I must say. I was making a very serious poll about the doldrums of the late summer when we are all really quite ready for the season to just begin and what we do to help cope with the lack of our team to watch and entertain us and all of my poll options were very serious except for two, right? I guess I couldn't help myself. And even those were somewhat serious things. The show on Tubi, for example, I actually woke up in the middle of the night and was trying to find something to watch and was really shocked at the premise of that and as I started watching I thought to myself, this really exists? This is so surreal.

I've been enjoying watching a documentary on Yang (the version with English subtitles). I found it on Reddit and it is unlisted on YT, but really enjoying it so far. Lots of footage and a glimpse into the life of a really good guy, I think.

Here is where I found it:

Does a mod asking mods to mod get the nod?


Is that like watching Ducks football and saying, “ Wow, I need to see more of Moore to Moor!!!
