Conference 7.286::sports_91

    My NHL note is better than your Rugby note.  Na-na-na-na-nah!
    
    Mark.

    You are lacking a NA in the title there, dear moderator.  What kind of
    example are you setting?

    The "Phoenix Suns" notes in here and BOSTON_CELTICS absolutely rule the
    sports conferences.

    We shouldn't restrict this to just DEC related sports discussion.   I
    think the great Bronco/Browns/Bengals/Oilers/Raiders/Cowboys bashing
    would fit in nicely in this topic.

    
    Hey Iceman (aka Paul)!  You out there?  Hello, anybody home?
    I have a question for you:
    
    Have the Browns ever made it to the Super Bowl?  HAHAHAHA!!!!111(tm)
    
    Claybone_who's_just_remembering_the_days_of_Hoot&Monty&CactusJack
    

    
    Doc, you forgot the most important questions...
    
    Doc, have you ever faced the iceMAN in one-on-one hoop
    competition?  (I'll help you out.  Yes, you played me 
    twice).
    
    Doc, how did you do?  (I'll help you out.  You got
    crushed both times).
    
    So what the "The MidKnight 25 - Paul The Small zip" means,
    I have no clue.  Get your puny frame onto the hoop court
    anytime, anyplace and you'll be put to shame again and 
    again... EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO OUT TO THE CAR AND GET
    YOUR NEW SHOES (like when you were at the Express softball
    party and they all took you to school at hoop as well!)
         
    [EOD]

    
    
    Have the DONKS ever won an NFL Championship?
    
    
    
    
    NOT!
    
    
    
    
    Have the DONKS ever come through in the "BIG" game when it
    counted?
    
    
    
    
    NOT!
    
    
    
    Browns fans throwing batteries and dog bones onto the field?  Wha..?
    Who..?  Whe???   Hey, they were just giving the donks fans Christmas
    gifts...
    
    RIGHT NOW THE HEADLINE READS - DAWGS SWEEP DONKS in 90's!
    

     Just what I'd expect from a `Spots fan....  A bunch of meaningless
    dribble and justification of unbecoming actions.  
    
    
    Big Game

    And of course ... the closest you've ever come to a gator is watching
    Wild Kingdom on TV ....

    
    I worked on a gator farm when I was in high school in Florida you
    bufoon!

    Doc -
    
    The closest you've been to an alligator is those little cute ones on
    the chest of your IZOD shirts.
    
    HTH
    
    JD

    So Paul, tell us ...
    
    
    
    Were gator better than sheep ?

    >I worked on a gator farm when I was in high school in Florida you
    >bufoon!
    
    WhoooOOOOoooOOO !! 
    
    That gave the cheels, Rockmeister.  Say it ain't so Groaner.  You are
    comparing yourself to Marlin Perkins' "boy" Jim, that weightlifter 
    guy with the shaved chest... Marlins' buck.  Oy, this is bad.  Marlin
    drops over daid six months ago with the AIDS bug and here we have
    Groaner, a main I oncet regarded as the paragon a mainly mainliness and
    rock-solid midwestern values is now trumpeting that he's just like Jim!
    
    Say it ain't so, Groaner.  Not!
    
    MrT

    
    Gators, sheep... i'd imagine either one would be better than
    pushing buttons on a cash register at LECHMERE... 

    Marlin:	Git him, Jim!  Rassle that big reptile for me, Jim!  Make
      		him pay!
    
    Jim:	Ooof.  Ugh.  Unh.
    
    Marlin:	Use those bulging flexing muscles, Jim!  Beat that big
    		animal down!
    
    Jim:	Ghnee.  Nnnnh !!
    
    (After the poor endangered reptile sinks into the murky Serengeti pond,
    daid as a door nail)
    
    Marlin:	Good job, Jim.  Now, git on over here and deal with *this*
    		reptile!
    
    Jim:	Nooooo !!

    Got to give Paul his due on this gator thing. When I played for his 
    softball team 2 years ago in a tourney he told us the same story and
    we where busting him so the next day at the tourney he brings in a 
    picture of him standing NEXTED(tm) to a gator. Paul looked like he was 
    14 years old and about 6 feet tall already.

Chuck

    re .260
    
    Chuck, that was his prom picture ....

    Groaner, now *documented* by a neutral 3rd party as haveing assumed
    a Jim-like role for any tourists who happened along with a dollar
    to spend on him.
    
    Paul, no!  The Florida Hooker!
    
    MrT

    
    Chuck, George was at that tourney too!  He was carrying water and 
    cooking food for some team... they were utilizing his talents to the
    max!
    

    Hey,  Groaner...  You're gonna owe me a buck after Sunday !!

    THE REAL CHALLANGE:
    
    Who?    iceMAN v.s. DrM
    What?   1-on-1 basketball game
    When?   DrM's choice, within reason
    Where?  DrM's choice, provided advance notice
    
    History: iceMAN leads the series 2 games to 0

    Is the real challenge how to spell challenge?

    
    Sorry I can't spell as well as you can Walt.  Maybe your making a joke
    or just displaying that belligerent attitude of yours... either way,
    I'd like to thank you for putting together that sorry team in FFL_A
    that I stomped all over in the playoffs...
    

    Just asked a question Paul.  I guess your answer is yes.  Not sure
    where I came to anyone's rescue.  If I asked where the Oilers are
    now, or who made the Pro Bowl you might have a gripe.  But I didn't
    and won't.
    
    Amazing how the week you wanted to play I would have one.  Not waking 
    up the dead.  If a team with Rice, Sanders, Emmitt Smith et.al. is sorry, 
    I'll just have to hang my head and cry. Boo hoo.  Whoa is me.... life
    is so unfair.

    Walt, you have a heck of a team... and you're right... if we started
    the playoffs a week earlier, the Wackos would be in the Super Bowl.
    We were both hurt at the beginning of the season when Cunningham got
    injured (I had Cunningham and Keith Jackson who's scoring vanished
    without Cunningham) and I'm surprised that my team made it this far.
    Hoard was a great pickup for me out of the waiver wire... just like
    Thomas was in 1989.
    
    On to the next opponent.  What's the line?
    
    
    

    So what does it mean... you have a great team and CHOKED?

    <<< Note 124.27 by ROCK::GRONOWSKI "the dream is always the same..." >>>
    
    >    -< or what...?  has anyone ever seen Walt and George together? >-
    
    Yup.  Twice.  Once at the Rat.  Once at The Grotto.
    
    Next question, Ye-oh-fan-of-pitiful-teams?
    
    Mark.

       I'll vouch for the time at the Grotto. We even saw Prince that day!
                                          Denny

    
    Well, considering they've been seen together so often... that brings
    up another question - of which, I have no desire to find out the
    answer!

    Paul, hope my nephew still keeps the neighborhood up at night.
    
    What I gotsta know is how come we never have seen you and DrM at the
    same time?
    
    Mark.

    
    
    You have seen me and DrM at the same time... the thing is... he's so
    puny that I tower over him...!
    
    I hear they set up special parking for Volvo's at the condominium
    complex.

    Yeah, I had a lot of control over the results of my guys choking.  I'm
    so ashamed.  Paul, when you get division winners, it's a crap shoot.
    You'll understand when you get more playoff experience.  Good luck
    in the future. 
    
    First I have a good team, then it's weak... that's convincing...
    
    First you don't see Doc and me together, then there's 1 sighting and
    we're seen together all the time.  Convincing argument...
    
    Don't make me have to take you to personnel... or have a moderator
    whack your pee-pee for conduct unbecoming a noter....

    
    What did you say?  You want to whack my pee-pee?

    Dear Barry,
    
    Congratulations on your win yesterday.  It was great to see a team play
    as well as you did this week.  Good luck against Washington.
    
    I regret to inform you however, that someone thinks your effort in week
    15 was weak.  I have a fantasy rotisserie team and my team lost to his
    in part because you and Emmitt Smith failed to score.  I'll send him a 
    letter after he gets over losing yesterday.  Please concentrate on 
    Washington, but please note that scoring touchdowns in key weeks must be 
    more important than winning ball games.  This is why Leroy Hoard is seen 
    as a quality ball player to some, where as you have a chance to get to
    the Super Bowl.
    
    Regrettably,
    Walt

    
    Boo Hoo Hoo!  WAH WAH WAH!

    re .36
    
    Nice one Walt.
    
    Lee-Fay, I have a sterling and pristine rep to keep up, and I try to be
    a role model to youth, which is the main reason why I'm seldom ever
    seen with Gronowski (except maybe in a doctored photo :-) ....

    Speakin' a_doctored photos, while at my bro's on Sunday, I caught
    Gronowski outside in the pahking lot (lives in the same condo
    development) erecting a sign which read "Reserved for Volvo Parking".
    next to my Maxima.
    
    I gots the act on film as proof.
    
    Mark.
    
    

    Go easy on him Mark ... the only parking the poor guy can get is at
    Foxboro ... heh heh heh ....

 Well Doc, it looks to me like the Lakers are going to beat the Celtics again..

 to the LOTTERY that is!!!

 hahaaa  too bad we couldn't play these guys 82 times a year...

 Worthy a franchise? hardly...

 mike

    So when is the lasted time the Septics been to the Finals ?

    So y'all
    Touching ceremony yesterday. I'll tell ya every time I hear Jabbar
    speak, I'm more impressed. When's that man running for office??
    How about Wilt with the Overbrook High '53-'54 letter jacket?
    Man did Cooper want to hide somewhere when Magic said he (jokingly)
    picked up all his bad habits hanging 'round with Coop. Coupla
    nervous twitters there. And what a look he got from Jerry West.
    Larry got a rousing ovation from the LA dingbats. 'Bout time
    he got the respect from Laker fans. Just ask Jabbar about respect
    from Celtic fans ( nice, Loooooong ovation) 8^) 
    
    MikeL
    

 Tough to get to the finals when you have to get through the Champs...

 

       So when's the lasted time the 6ers or Rockets were in the Finals?
    Dock forgot to tell us about the 6ers 2 losses to the mighty Nets last
    week. Yes folks, that's TWICE in 1 WEEK!!
                                          Denny

    re. back a few
    
    I thought Magic said he picked up all his bad habits from Norm.  As in
    Norm Nixon.....
    
    Jimbo

      Will Magic finally say 'bye?    I doubt it.  He will lead on like he
    is coming back.....
    
      I saw some of the 1/2 time yest,  and I wasn't touched!  As someone
    has said,  leave as a legend!  Stay out of the Olympics!  Tend to your
    new wife and soon to be baby.

    Gee I wonder why ?

    Wrong. You came in the 6th, and went to hysterically funny lengths to
    avoid me. And there are plenty of witnesses to the event. And a box
    score to boot (assuming you didn't alter it).
    
>>      	   Game 3 - iceMAN went to Sox-Tribe game instead
    
    Sure you did ...

>>    While I didn't face DrM in game 2, he did get picked off while I
>>    was on the mound. 
    
    A bold-faced lie if there ever was one. And it certainly contradicts
    you earlier statement.
    
    You have really sunk far down Paul. A pity what talent you have is
    wasted by your obsessive behavior and arrogance.
    
    And now to lie like that ...
    
    Sad.
    
    Doc

    	I still think you guys should settle this in the ring.  We can
    schedule a ::SPORTS get together around it and I could do the
    promoting.  Don King style, of course.
    
    				/Don

    I said, the poor kid is obsessive /Don ...maybe you could modify a
    little Tyson footage for Gronowski ... the obsessive behavior, the bad
    attitude, the general low regard in which he is held as a person, all
    of that seems to lead any thinking person to conclude that a
    self-immolation is imminent.

Gee, I see the Kindergarten is back in session after Spring Break.


You guys ought to give it a rest.  The 6th graders I used to teach could
pick at each other better.



Just give it a rest.  I'm sure the entire sports community doesn't give
two shits (or even three) who showed up, who didn't or who's better.....

In fact, if you could step outside of yourselves and hear this bullhooey,
you'd be ashamed....



Sorry for the flame, but I've had it....


'Saw

    Saw, I'm getting more than a little P.O. ed at how you have NOT nipped
    this in the bud. I ignore the first 750 cheaphots, insults, et al, get
    fed up waiting for you to do something about it, then have to listen
    you talk about "kindergarten".
    
    I try to do the right thing, try being supportive as a moderator
    instead of letting an emotionally unstable person get out of control to
    the point where I have to shut his yap. 
    
    I guess you can say I've had it.

    Why is this any different than the Donks/Steelers/Browns menage-a-trois
    we have to deal with every fall?
    
    Mark.

    	So the boxing match is of then eh?  How about we get JD and
    Lefebvre in a musclemainposedown then?
    
    				/Don

It's different from the Donks-Steelers-Browns stuff because
it's two people ripping chunks out of each other, and it
gets pretty tiresome.

And besides, once football season is over that stuff ends.  This goes on
and on and on like a bad dream you can't wake up from.


And whenver I or Mac says something about it, each one perceives that
we're picking on them individually.


Fine, you guys wanna go at it toe to toe, go right ahead.  Knock yourselves
out.  Everything is fair game.


Go for it.  You won't hear a word out of me, and while I can't speak
for Mac, I know he's fed up with it too, you probably won't hear a word
out of him.


Rip yourselves to shreds.....

    JD's lat's are wimpy.

    Good thought, maybe I need to take your antics to Personell ?

Chainsaw:	Frank's got a big butt!

Frank:		Do not

Chainsaw:	Do so

Frank:		No way

Chainsaw:	Way!

    JD:		My lat's are bigger than yours.
    
    Mark:	NFW!
    
    JD:		Are so.
    
    Mark:	Nope.
    
    JD:		Oh yeah?
    
    Mark:	Yeah <whap!>

    Paul and Doc,
    
    Most of the sports discussions have some value to them - even the ACC
    rathole.  Most of the non-sports discussions are still interesting. 
    Mac and Frank do a good job bagging the jokes that are going to get us
    in trouble.  In short, 99% of this conference, whether sports related
    or not, is still worthwhile.  I can either enjoy it or learn something
    from it or both.
    
    In your case, however, it's no value.  It seems to be a personal vendetta
    carried into this conference that the rest of us neither know about
    nor care about.  I don't know what caused it but it reads like two
    little kids fighting in a sand box.  (I really think it will be funny if
    the Browns draft David Klingler - it will mean a Houston hero in
    Cleveland).  I don't know you, Paul.  I know you Doc and I'm
    surprised you carry it on - you seem mature enough to know better.  If
    either of you could read it as if you didn't write it I think you'd be
    ashamed of yourselves for acting that way.
    
    That's why the moderators get annoyed with you two when you start this
    crap.  That's why the rest of us get annoyed too.  It has no place in
    this conference and speaking for the rest of us, we'd all appreciate it
    if you'd take it off line.
    
    Have I just replaced A&W as Mom?

    John, wouldn't it be funny if a local hero like Desmond Howard (from
    Cleveland, OH) ended up on one of Doc's many "favorite" teams...  

>    John, wouldn't it be funny if a local hero like Desmond Howard (from

Actually, Desmond went to Washington.

Now we'll have to hear Dickstah's wife Casey yak on endlessly about how
the Skins have this great new find.....8^)

       Dock's also a 'Skins fan. 'One' a his favorites.
                                   Denny

    re John,
    
    I'm sorry that things have gotten to the point it has. Frankly I'm sick
    of it all. And I've been tired of it for a long time. 
    
    The harrassment in notes and VAX mail, (99% which I ignore - until
    things go too far) - yes, VAX mail too, it's pathetic and childish. I
    hate bringing it into a public platform, but I don't need this crap.
    And I should have a right not to put up with it ... sigh.
    
    You do make sense "Moms" Hendry ....
    
    BTW, if Klinger had gone to Cleveland (going to the Bengals isn't much
    better, but at least Wyche isn't there) - I was going to campaign for
    Doug Flutie to coach UMass football .... haa. :-)
    
    Doc
    
    p.s. Denny, it's funny you never mentioned my support of Washington (I
    try not to use 'Redskins') for the 1989-90 seasons. They win a SB, and
    you try to imply I jumped on the wagon ? What does that make you ?
    
    Besides a tool of Ole Red ? heh heh heh (hhh) ...
