Alot of freakish athletes root for other freakish athletes instead of teams

not to make excuses. It just seems athletes usually don’t build the connection to teams like normal people do. They are more about seeing and emulating the best. I’m pretty sure Ohio didn’t have the best anything pretty much ever.

Well, I don't know how freakish an athlete you are

I mean, I played sports (mainly basketball and hockey) and i’m fairly athletic, but I never was close to being the best in my school, let alone the state, country, or world (like the guys we’re talking about are). I like sports because I like sports, not because it gives me something to emulate and strive for.

Well in High School I was 3rd in Washington County in scoring (basketball)

And I loathed Jordan…. I picked players I strived to play like (unfortunately it was guys like Juan Dixon/Blake). But, I played soccer and baseball too and I really followed guys I wanted to emulate. Not that I ever made it far except for a little college ball at Liberty University. But I dont buy the whole athletes just want to cheer for the best athletes out there. I bet a ton of athletes grew up cheering for the local teams.

I’m just saying it seems like it happens alot and I can kind of understand it. I’ve been a musician all my life (and I believe a pretty good one) and while I hate certain bands, I can definitely appreciate and even start to follow some of the musicians in these bands. I’m sure if I was even better and playing for a living, some of that hate would go away and it would be more about learning and appreciating others than liking and disliking styles and groups.

I agree

Unless its the Caps.

But, I “invested” in them.

no, even the caps

hockey is for canadians.
canadians suck, therefore by the transitive property, hockey sucks.

I guess there's alot of groups like that

There seem to be alot of stereotypical Jersey girls with fixations on the Mets and David Wright. They know nothing about the sport but think Wright is hot so the wear makeup using the team colors and go to games to be seen wearing said makeup and write stupid shit on their cheeks like “I <3 David Wright”. They often are heard screaming “Go Mets!” randomly.

How is risking 280 to win 200 a good bet? Do I not understand gambling?

by OsNBohs on May 3, 2010 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

its a safer bet

bruins were favored to win. he chose the favorite.

You get back your 280 plus an additional 200.

So you get 480 back if you win.

I'm not doing so hot right now.

I bet on the Angels and the Tigers who both are way down. Broke even on the O’s. Took the O’s on the moneyline and bet the under on 9. Looks like the White Sox are gonna win me some and I’ve got Colorado and Texas in the late games. Also took the over on 6.5 in the Colorado game.

If this team didn’t constantly strand runners in scoring position we’d actually be respectable.

It's CC

and they had Montanez and Atkins in the lineup. I can almost forgive them for it tonight. Especially after a series like the one we just swept.

True that

I think I just got my hopes up after such a pleasant weekend. Sabathia is a bastard of a pitcher. I still felt like we were one hit away a few times tonight and just didn’t come through. The more I watch this team in these close AL East games the more I feel like we should be better than our record. One rough inning from Guthrie in an otherwise very solid performance and there we go.

no we have staffs
