I remember when I was younger, wondering if maybe I was just smart enough to pass off as a regular joe, but too stupid to realize that I wasn't able to converse with someone and still be able to make a lucid point.
I could give a fuck about the players love lives and towel cracking in the locker room. If they're breaking the law/threatening lives with DUI's and such, I care but beyond that it's basically meh... I tune in to watch good hoops and know I'm hardly the only fan like this so your premise doesn't hold water STOMP
Hey mixum, shut the fuck up. Take your tired trolling act elsewhere. Nobody here likes you, nobody respects you and nobody gives a shit about anything you have to say. Your act is old, tired and boring. You have actually managed to become a caricature of your pathetic self. Mods: delete if you must. Just saying what everyone else is thinking. You banned this troll once. I have no idea why you let him back in under a different username. He detracts from the quality of discussion and enjoyment of this forum. BNM
True, I think there are a lot of fans who don't care what the players do in the locker room or during their time outside basketball. But there are also a lot of fans that do care. In this thread alone some fans talk about how they enjoyed that series inside the locker room. And my guess is there are plenty of fans interested in what goes on in the locker room. I'm guessing many people read that series by Quick (more people than usual for his articles) I understand players don't like it and I get that. But that kind of stuff sell, IMO. (look how well the gossip shows do with celebs . . . that paparazzi stuff is big money)
As a fan of the team I could give two shits about what goes on outside the court. But, it is interesting gossip to ponder when you see interactions on the court.
Carlito doesn't write like Mixum. He writes like Mpls did on ESPN. Hey mods, is Carlito posting from overseas, specifically the Orient?
I have to spread more rep before giving it to Stomp. Frankly I don't give a damn what they say in the locker room, it's probably better I not know! I care about how they play and how the represent the team and city. I work in biotech. Would you refuse our cancer drugs if you knew what inside jokes we tell? Or what I wear to work? I am bored silly with celebrity worship where Kim Kardashian's hairdo gets headlines but real life issues are buried on page 32. Roy's relationship with his wife is between him and his wife. If he (or she) gets it on the side, and all parties are consenting adults, it is simply not my business.
