Yup, an acknowledged lurker, but I don't post here because my timing just sucks. By the time I get on the board and read a thread, the subject has been beaten to death so why bother. I am a thread killer. Watch and see. Once I post this ... thread is dead.
I miss ProudBlazerFan. Last I saw he had a serial soap opera going on the BBB OT board, telling us every detail about his divorce and unsuccessful dates. Before that, 10 years ago, he was the biggest anti-Whitsitt guy on ESPN. He e-mailed the team a lot. He and his friend JHoops disliked me for liking the GM and players. On the S2 board, JHoops rarely posts, but I say hi and we're friendly. I haven't seen PBF here but maybe he posts secretly under a different name. I'd like to say hi to him. Another guy I miss is Maris. He only posts to OT and predictions now. On ESPN he posted mainly his basketball opinions. He was the first one to advocate replacing Cheeks, a prescient vision, and everyone slowly jumped on his bandwagon. He now posts a little to the basketball side, but the board would be improved with a more rounded Maris returning to the basketball side as well as OT. He used to have a lot of interesting basketball opinions. And of course Magnifier. And OddEnormous was funny. I carried on an odd relationship with him, screaming when he made his infrequent returns, about how scary he was. Others opposed him as a troll while I liked his weirdness. He couldn't figure out whether I was his ally or enemy. That's how I like it. Sports message boards are the best entertainment there is!!! Damn, this is fun.
Also -- an honorary mention from BBB days is the Shareef Abdur-Rahim groupie/lover... can't remember the screenname... was it Playmaker or something like that?
Yeah, I think we were talking to him at one point about replacing the windows at our beach house. I'll have to look into that.
I just received this message: Can someone else pick up the slack for me, starting about halfway down Page 4?
