Was that guy serious when he said he was going to "retire" after 3,000 posts?

I kinda miss that wack job.

 

who????

 

Nice to know that someone remembers me. I'm trying to retire from posting. (I already forgot my password-- had to look it up to write this.)

For years I have saved excerpts from message boards. On this board, I was putting a few new ones into my signature each week. (I may slightly rewrite them to improve them, I'm not admittin nuttin.) It's been 2-3 weeks since my last post (#3000), so here are the new ones I found since then.
===============
A big contract brings expectations. Outlaw’s not paid Spiderman’s salary to be Peter Parker.

Outlaw had a masterpiece of terrible play— knocking a rebound loose from Favors, grabbing for a ball while standing out of bounds, barely flailing in man defense, not rotating, forcing the last shot with 6 seconds left when Morrow was wide open. And much, much more. A tour-de-force. No one can be that bad and last a month in the NBA; something has to be wrong with him. I think.

Did you see the backboard block his shot? That was way up there! Would have gone straight through the hoop.

He sat down next to the coach. Probably kissing up.

This board. The complaining about the complaining is becoming worse than the complaining.

I thought Outlaw was good before but now I see him play a lot , I noticed he moves weird. This guy is just plain straight shooter but no passing skill cause he don’t have vision. I think this guy have bad eyes maybe color blind too. I think this guy also have poor time awareness, that goes with poor vision.

What bothers me about Outlaw is that I scan his line and hardly ever see a number above 4 (besides shots attempted).

I hereby revoke your license to do anything other than sit on the couch. Your computer winced with embarassment while you typed that. My 11 month old could type smarter, with her 4-word vocabulary. You should apologize to every Blazer fan, alive and/or dead.

You think he's a good player? I'm just going to assume you've missed every game this season.

If stupidity hurt you'd go through a lot of aspirin

I've just been calming people down all game long, and part of that process was mocking you since you're so upset. Feeling calmer?

Don't you have a family to get to tonight or no? I guess trolling the message boards is a full-time job in this recession.

Do I need to spell it out for you next time, or post it multiple times? I'm here to help you understand, if you need me.

Our guy allegedly guarding him made a big effort to take his cold hands out of his pockets and raise his arms. Then he went back to watching the game like me, except I had my hands in my popcorn.

I have offered statistical facts along with my opinion. You have offered opinions disguised as statistics.

Well, interesting range of opinions, from the sane to the insane. To those of you who bothered to seriously discuss the issues, thanks for agreeing with me. For the 4 or 5 trolls- get screwed.

Please save this thread so we can go back and laugh at it from time to time.

A good couch can make a game good no matter how bad it is. McMillan has to go.

it is glaringly apparent that
A. you are under 15 years old
B. you have never played higher than High School JV
C. you don't understand the nuances of the game
D. all of the above

1. Is it too early for me to criticize Coach McSlowdown on these 4 points?
2. Roy's individual defense is very subpar if he wants to be a superstar.
3. LMA still giving up way to early in the post
4. Poor Dre Miller just doesn't fit.

Once again you have confirmed your total illiteracy about economic matters and everything else. You are living proof that continued inbreeding leads to genetically altered offspring. In fact a recent CIA investigation, funded by the FED of course (who else?), has confirmed what most of us on this site have long suspected. Your father is indeed your brother and your daughter is indeed your sister. The men in the white coats are waiting outside your door to transport you to Kentucky to join your stablemates. Better hurry up! Trot into the glue factory or we'll need to get out the straightjacket.

we shouldn't blame any of our economic whose on Wall Street, but on Ourselves

is your last name Dufus?

Stern is good because the players are to stupid to polece themselves.

Look at the bright side: at least we get to see our bench get some extensive playing time.

You cannot hope to rid your team of knucklheads until you stop spelling it that way.

ha ha you funny boy!! You complain that our scouting staff sucks cuz they draft injury prone players like Elliot Williams and you promote D BLAIR!!! you can't have it both ways you funny boy.

This is sad. I broke my patella just reading it.

After Oden, they were certainly not going to draft another knee problem so they passed on Blair. He turned out to be a fine player. That made us take a chance on a known knee problem in Eliot Williams and we're back to being screwed. You see the pattern here? Next year we will pass up a player with a knee problem and he will become a fine player.

Hey, even the Red Sox overcame the curse. Of course it took like 87 years to do it. Hey it's only been 33 since we won the title. We still have time.

I was wrong and I need to admit it. I gotta eat crow, just like the tree in the forest still makes a noise even if nobody hears it.

You wouldn't have been here before they invented the mouse. Back then, to navigate on a computer, you had to know how to read.

Have you been at the Koolaid jar again? PLEASE....see a psychiatrist soon, you may be a danger to yourself or others. Amazing to think that you beat out a billion other sperm.

Oh, I get it. You seen one of those stickers that had Oden "pi$$ing" on the Blazers logo. Don't believe everything you see, silly boy, especially your daddy's name on your birth certificate.

65% of voters say Rajon Rondo is the best point guard in the NBA, which tells you a hell of a lot about who is being polled.

I remember that game. Which is another way of saying "man I'm getting old".

They're not sleep walking, they're preserving their energy for the 4th quarter.

This game sucks! Today sucks. The whole week sucks. Point me to the nearest cliff.

All's well that ends well, but it may not end well next time. So a better saying is--Ignore close calls and you'll be a goner.

Darn tootin' means regular tootin', only darner.

We will either win or lose, IMO.

Even if we win, it's fools' gold. We're a bad team.

It's not clear why you think you know better than me what you meant to say, but you are wrong about that in any case.

I'll repeat myself again, even more slowly, just for your benefit...

I was happy we won till I read your post. So I checked whether we outscored them in addition to winning, and we did, so I'm happy again.

Michael Jordan once said, "I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed." We've been winning, and we're one of the worst at failing. If things don't change, we won't succeed.

Are you kidding me? I am being completely serious. Is the front office/coach actually playing a practical joke? This can't be realistic. Our center...our STARTING center, is Timofey Mozgov. Can anyone even tell me who this guy is and please spell his name? Timofey? This man is averaging 15 minutes and he is literally doing nothing with that time. He is averaging 1.5 pts and 2.5 boards. This is the best we can muster up? Really? Maybe I can call my grandmother up and see if she wants the job?

yawn the board idiot is drinking again!!!!!

Man another season.. Another 6 beers down... Another dissappointing loss.. and another potential threat to the big screen with the missed free throws.. I Swear I was about to break the screen with a full can of beer about 7 times.. We need Another baller in the building..

Stoudemire is capable of being pathetic on the boards. Let's hope he rises to this potential.

It's time for buttpatting, too soon for backpatting.

we should sue the wolves for 3rd degree attempted basketball.

You might say they took a leap off a a 60' cliff into 35 degree water, and we responded with a 100' leap into 75 degree water.

I like what i've seen from the team as a collective whole in the back half of this 4th quarter

Oberto just flew in yesterday from Argentina and now he's in a game. He doesn't know the offensive or defensive sets, so it's like having Outlaw back.

Great move. Nate must have sat Nic because he was hogging all the rebounds.

I think the reason the bench looks good is that they don't know Nate's system yet and push tempo.

If we can hit our shots, we have a great chance of winning. If the shots aren't falling, it will be a long game.

There's a reason that some men are GMs and others deliver pizza.

So what, they lost. Look, if the world ends and everyone dies, will anyone notice? Lighten up.

Isn't a hypocrite a large zoo animal in a huge wooden box? Cause if it is of course he knows what it is! He goes to visit his mom every weekend and enjoy some hot elephant ears.

I'm a little guy because I'm Asian. Or maybe I'm Asian because I'm a little guy. Not to mention I'm angry all the time.

Vegas has a word for people that don't use facts and statistics but instead their opinions and feelings: Suckers.

Man. You really do have some self-esteem issues. I'm done smacking you around for the night.

In the open court with nobody on him, Rudy's brilliant. In the halfcourt he can't reach escape velocity and he's forcing awkward passes with defenders on him. The slower the game revolves, the worse he looks.

You make a compelling case, but I am uncompelled.

Many of you Blazer fans own property in Fantasy Land.

You cry wolf only so many times before your voice becomes a howl. Take a nap and dream of the Blazers drafting Durant.

Most everybody who is a Blazer fans expectations over the last few years have been essentially dashed, and a lot of fans haven't got over it yet, because it may not be over. It's still going on. Right now the whole fan base is in a hangover because what has happened to the team over the last couple of years. It's no wonder everyones attitude is bad. Everybody is fucking pissed off it didn't turn out better than it did. That is reality. Because the team is still being held up to those expectations, which were very high, the fans desire a better performance from the players. Perhaps those expectations are unreasonable. But what kind of expectations should you have if your desire is for your favorite team, to win the NBA finals? Ha ha ha just wait until the team wins a game. Then the world will be afire with the glory of the Blazers, on the way to a championship with all the future all stars playing on this team!

when I come here, the thought that always crosses my mind is "I wonder what everyone is whining about today?"

Oden is a walking, talking injury machine. Some all-brain, no-body creature on the Injury Planet invented this humanoid-shaped perpetual motion machine using their evil laws of physics.

Just think of me as the psychologist and you as the lab rat. Lab rats die so that we may live. And yet, here you are through my Eternal Mercy.

I'm framing this thread and coming to your office. I'll hang it under your doctorate in explaining things away.

Could be worse, could be someone who has a whistle when he pronounces his S's. In this modern age of iPods and Bluetooth headphones, some guy pierces your ears who you would never have noticed in the old days of car stereo speakers.

Setting a screen reminds me of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. If we have brick above ground then for distant observer earth should look more heavy than same earth with same brick on the ground. but which part of that system keeps all that energy? Here is my take on it. If I carry the brick to the top of a tower, the total mass of the brick and Earth will be ever so slightly more than before, because of the energy added to the combination in the form of gravitational potential. The source of that energy is my muscles, and I will be slightly lighter as a result of having expended that energy. there is no absolute frame of reference. therefore, maybe, from a long way away, a brick on the Earth surface, might weigh less than a brick that is raised out of that space-time warp field created by the Earth, say to 2 million miles away from Earth.

 

I was just joking, I know who you are, online.

 

Thanks.

Speaking of wack jobs, stop posting about him and maybe he'll go away for good. That said, as unpopular as he was, and for as far out of mind he was, his posts were amusing.

 

I knew you were joking, and I don't post to another board. This was the only one I used for 13 months--3000 posts without ever starting a thread. I'm not retiring just to go back to ESPN, which sucks compared to this board.

I didn't know Prophet hates me. I thought only Boob and Crandc dislike me, since they're the only ones I ever took on here. Prophet says the board dislikes me, which is BS. I was tied for the most points in "The Official S2 -1/+1 vote away game" thread until Post #131. Prophet's just judging me on his own politics.

Okay, since I'm posting, I come with presents--more shtuff. At first I was writing a serious signature. Starting March 24, I went with excerpts from boards.
===================
When you criticize McMillan for his programmed substitutions, remember why he feels impelled to do this. Pritchard has not made consolidation trades. McMillan must develop about 10 young guys with potential, and that takes playing time for each. He objects every time yet another youngster is forced upon him, most recently Mills over Udoka.

The definition of "consolidation trade" is not just any 2 for 1. The player acquired should give permanent help and be a tradeable asset. If he's age 35, and stays 2 months, we didn't consolidate, we just gave away 2 of last season's top 6 or 7 players.

Now that Andre Miller got 52 points, he's tied with Brandon Roy for 2nd place Blazer all time. At 51 points twice, Geoff Petrie is tied with himself for 4th place. No wonder Petrie never scored 52.

Remember, the tree falls both ways.

The point wasn't that Lebron left Cleveland for a team with better prospects that have people so incensed. It's the classless way he showed himself to be a beta when everyone thought he was an alpha dog. LeBron apologists, address those two points.

I went to the University of Idaho for my first year of College, and yes one of the reasons I left for Portland State was that the only thing to do on a weekend was drink (or a weekday for that matter).

Think of it like Whack-o-Mole. If Team A on the left have a team of two guys for the 48 seconds and guy one whacks 17 moles in 30 seconds and hands over the mallet and guy two whacks an additional 10 moles. Meanwhile team B has one guy whack moles for 40 seconds because his partner is a three year old girl, so he whacks 18 moles in 40 seconds and hands the mallet over and his 3 year old whacks 2 more moles. Which team won? 27 vs. 20. Sure the guy on Team B whacks the most moles of everyone with 18 moles, but do we go around saying his 18 moles makes him one of the best partner whackers for the day? No. In reality he's not the not that good at whacking compared to better whackers that just didn't have the opporunitities because they had better partners. He just has inflated overall stats because he had to be out there longer than everyone else so his 3 year old wasn't out there for 15 seconds bringing the team even further down. It's like the guy who whacked moles for 40 seconds instead of 30. Sure, his arms got a little extra tired in those extra 10 seconds, but it's only 40 seconds, so his fatigue would make that extra 10 minutes 99.9% of producitivy, or no difference in moles. So with LMA, you get what you get, you just have inflated "Per Game" stats due to his playing so many extra minutes with the injuries.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in aught-two, shortly after Al Gore invented the internet, I typed Blazers into the search engine and came across a message board forum, the first I had ever seen. I read it for hours. Most of the posts were childish, idiotic, or simply boorish drivel. I was about to leave this forum which resembled a graffiti covered boxcar in a Compton railyard when....................I came across a post by BobWhitsitt'sGhost.

It was like falling into a cesspool but then finding a winning lottery ticket in your pocket when you climb out.

Here was a guy who could write. The jaunty prose, the barbed satire, the dry wit, the endearing humanity weaving it all together.

It was the revelation that, hey, not everyone here is a moron, which inspired me to post my first post on a message board, and our paths have continually crossed on boards over the years, BBF, ESPN, 2 or 3 before that but forget the names.

Here was a guy who knew what a forum was for, and how to best serve mankind through regular posting.

His posts are read in many nations, by many world leaders. Shapers and thinkers are forever requesting audience with him to discuss the deeper meanings hidden to all but a few in his somber soliloquies. It has been said his words could heal the world's worst wounds, if only they could be read aloud by all living beings in unison.

He has long been the undefeated King of Forums, and there are no serious contenders.

When he does retire, or abruptly disappears from the board without explanation as some of us will do when we die, a black hole of despair will no doubt begin to grow on our screens, first as a tiny flaw in the pixels but quickly growing and then completely filling the frame. Some will flee in terror, others will weep and tremble. Many will confess their sins in vain. There will be no salvation.

I believe this is what is commonly referred to as a "bromance."
