I'M THE MOUNTIE!!! YOU CAN'T FINGERPRINT ME!!!

INCONCEIVABLE!

Definitely a shocker, but they had to quit pussyfooting around with him eventually.

And I have PM'ed mods in the past, and for the most part gotten that very result.

I don't feel sorry for Chris Webber in the slightest. He could have opted out this summer if he wanted another chance to win a title. Instead, he chose to "suffer" with his $20 million. Fuck him. As for the trade...come on, how do you not take that if you're the Sixers. Raef's deal is only a year longer than Webber's, and just because Randolph is a malcontent in Portland doesn't mean he'll be one everywhere. A change of scenery may do him good. Look at Rasheed Wallace. Iverson and Randolph, with Raef and Korver to spread everything out, that's killer. And how about driving the lane and finding Dalembert AND Raef both waiting on you?

I was in that chat, too!

Yeah. It should be used in moderation, I guess was my point.

Problems with the board? We can start with just general asshole-ishness all around. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but you'll notice that there are numerous people who like me as a poster and would support me as a mod. You know why that is (at least one of the reasons)? Because I don't treat it as the eighth deadly sin to conduct myself like a normal human being and attempt to have intelligent discussion without being insulting. The WWE folder is obviously the worst offender of this...there's just certain wrestlers who are perceived as immune to criticism, or vice versa. I can't really put it into words, but I think a lot of people would agree with my general point. God help you if you were to go into that folder with anything nice to say about John Cena or Randy Orton. CC will warn people once in a while, but rarely does it atcually work. Choken One, a multiple-time PBP, is considered one of the most intelligent posters in that folder. Mull that one over for a while. Something has to be done about wildpegasus. He either needs to be told to quit his gimmick bullshit, or banished to NHB or banned altogether if he's not going to. He's told more than one poster that he's just acting like a dipshit to draw attention to himself, which is the very definition of trolling. Something needs to be done about EHME, as well. He doesn't bother me as much as he does most other people, but going back to what I mentioned above, he's just generally insulting towards people. He complains about Rant and others being "racist", yet he throws out homophobic slurs like candy. I don't think a banning is necessary, really, but he just needs to tone it down. He's okay to talk to in the sports folder and stuff, to me at least. Other than that, just all the general cliqueish behavior and self-referential "humor" that I really shouldn't have to elaborate on. And gimmicks. I'll fess up to owning a few gimmicks, but as long as they're kept where they don't derail actual discussion, I see no problem with them. EDIT: Also, I brought up my concerns with the mods here at the Pit, and the general consensus was "the mods aren't the problem, it's the posters." Well, if the mods refuse to take action agaist said posters, is that not also a problem?

*beltshots snuffbox*

Harrington is very close with Antonio Davis, and said Davis told him he'd like to come back to the Pacers. Donnie Walsh said he'd be interested in bringing him back. Davis said it's unlikely he'll play another season, but if he does, he'd like to go to the Pacers, or the Bulls. Doug Christie is trying to make a comeback, and three teams have shown interest in him, according to HoopsHype. Dajuan Wagner has drawn interest from five teams. This one came from the Philadelphia Inquirer, so presumably the Sixers are one of them.

NHB doesn't need a mod, they just need to make sure the stuff in there doesn't spill over onto the rest of the board. Everything should be allowed in there, except for all the prejudicial insults and stuff such as scat and the like.

Someone at WDI had that Dunkin' Donuts pic in their sig for a while. I want to say it was Parka, but I can't remember for sure. Good stuff.

Ross homers, 4-3 Reds in the 8th.

Encarnacion ties it up with a double.

Yeah, I was getting to that.

Reds down one in the 6th with the bases loaded, and one out...two strikeouts on eight pitches. EDIT: It was the 8-9 batters, though, so meh. Still three innings.

I'm going to slip in a small segment real quick before you post it.

To make this easier for PK. Zack/Bruce Fallout (in GCF) Otaku II vs. Brock FCA for the Heartland Title. Moneymaker's debut. Black T promo.

Apparently Chris Bosh is whining about his playing time. He wouldn't even be there if it weren't for all the injuries, so I say he should just keep his mouth shut and take his medal. Anyway, US beat Senegal to go 5-0 in their pool. Here are the brackets: Eighth-finals 8/26 61. Argentina vs New Zealand 62. Turkey vs Slovenia 63. Spain vs Serbia/Montenegro 64. Italy vs Lithuania 8/27 65. Greece vs China 66. France vs Angola 67. USA vs Australia 68. Germany vs Nigeria Quarterfinals 8/29 69. Winners of 61-62 70. Winners of 63-64 8/30 71. Winners of 65-66 72. Winners of 67-68 Classification Semifinals 8/31 73. Losers of 69-70 74. Losers of 71-72 Medal Semifinals 8/31 75. Winners of 69-70 76. Winners of 71-72 Finals 9/2 5th Place Game: Winners of 73-74 Bronze Medal Game: Losers of 75-76 9/3 7th Place Game: Losers of 73-74 Gold Medal Game: Winners of 75-76

I can't imagine the riots that must be going on over there right now.

Presumably, a book that Rando's writing.

I'll grant there was really no point to moving the folder, but I don't see any reason to care how the board looks.
