    You're the only one disagreeing with me. I said the WWE has a lot of fans, and that the difference is that the WWE is open about themselves being rigged.

    I really didn't mean to upset you like this. Are you saying that you're 100% convinced that the NBA has been legitimate on the court over the past 15 years?

    I feel convinced that David Stern is not rigging the league in a WWE fashion, yes.

    Are you saying that you're 100% convinced that the NBA has been legitimate on the court over the past 15 years, in light of Donaghy, and some of the obvious impact refs have had in important games?

    I agree. It does seem that too often nowadays interviewers interrupt guests intentionally, which tends to annoy or infuriate guests, which makes the guests then look like idiots, and makes the interviewer seem better for it, which is super annoying, IMO.

    Damn straying laser.

    I don't give a shit. get your laser like focus off of me then. I don't think it is comparable at all to the WWE. Demanding answers to questions posed not specifying strictly that is pointless and stupid. a 15 year 100% guarantee has nothing to do with the initial comments made or responded to. But you always do like shifting it slightly, and demanding an answer to what was not previously implied. Carry on.
    I don't think that David Stern rigs the league.

    OK. So you don't have 100% certainty that things are on the level in the NBA. Was that so hard to admit?

    I have to ask why you'd follow a league that you don't think is 100% legitimate, though. Kind of like you asked me about the same thing. :)

    I've said nothing of the sort, but if you just want a conversation with yourself, where you fill in someone's answer, then you can probably do it offline

    I really hate Jim Rome. He is an arrogant ass who tries to be "edgy" by trying to rile up his guests. He is just a wannabe Skip Bayless.

    Skip Bayless is a pimple on Jim Rome's ass, if he's even that lucky. At least in terms of national contracts, and making over $15 million/year.

    What are you talking about?

    Rome has been around nationally so much longer then Skip Bayless, i'm not sure how you can even compare the two. Love him or hate him, JR has a HUGE following and is one of the best interviewers you'll ever find in or out of sports. i'm not a big fan of his schtik but for pure interview purposes he's one of the best.

    I hate Skip Bayless too. Bad comparison but I dislike both guys so it was the first one off the top of my head.
