UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2005 I could write fantasy sports stuff, although mostly just baseball and football. I'd really like to just write a general sports column though, because I figure there are already a lot of people focusing on the particular sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2005 Foreign Sports is something I came up with. There are a few Aussies and Brits on the board, so some columns about international sports such as cricket, soccer, and yes, even boring old tennis, would go there.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted December 30, 2005 I'd also write up fantasy football material, so we have one person here who knows what they're talking about. This site needs to go up soon. Is this like a parody now? You've volunteered to do every single thing thus far. Is there anything you wouldn't be interested in doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leelee Report post Posted December 30, 2005 Is this like a parody now? You've volunteered to do every single thing thus far. Is there anything you wouldn't be interested in doing? Many things. Such as any articles only on wrestling. The only subject that I can write on a regular basis would be sports material. Foreign Sports is something I came up with. There are a few Aussies and Brits on the board, so some columns about international sports such as cricket, soccer, and yes, even boring old tennis, would go there. Ok, dear... but "boring" old tennis... oh, fuck it, I shouldn't be able to read this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to see a World Sports summary, catching us up on international sports such as soccer and the like. American media ignores virtually everything outside our borders.

Guest Report post Posted December 30, 2005 I like watching Formula1, but the U.S. GP this year really turned me off on it. This season was the best in a while, because Schumacher didn't win the world title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leelee Report post Posted December 30, 2005 Change "foreign" to other, at least. I'll be writing about tennis, and it's not "foreign" or "international" or "world". I don't want to make a big deal about it just because it's inaccurate... but, let's be realistic in that most people who visit the site will ignore "foreign" sports.

Adam 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2005 F1 and the World Cup of Soccer will be covered, definitely. If others want to help out with a monthly round-table discussion of all sports outside the US, say in here. Oh, and Leena has me on ignore? I feel special.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted December 30, 2005 most people who visit the site will ignore "foreign" sports. Honestly, the site is TheSmartMarks.com. I doubt if a terrible number of people will be coming to the site and reading the main page looking for sports reviews and new DVD's available. It's all about the wrestling in my eyes. It's a wrestling site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2005 One thing I have just thought of (of course the moment after I sent admin a message about posting articles) is whether or not you can post to the main site if you have previous bannings/suspensions. Does it make a difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a place for people who used to like the WWF to come and bullshit about life and other stuff they like now. As for TheSmartMarks, just do what we all do here, and what MTV, ESPN, CNBC, TNN, OLN, et al all do, where the abbreviation becomes the primary ID because the full name no longer applies as well and was not as frequently used.

Guest Leelee Report post Posted December 31, 2005 So, you want it bot ways? First you say HTQ is in the wrong for talking shit about posters on his blog which is "part of this site" but you are alright with a PBP writing for the main page because it's not part of the site?? I hate people like you. And Lord knows I hate ignorant kids like you too... but, since I'm in a good mood today, I'll try explaining this situation for the 123423th time. HTQ is a MODERATOR. That means he can ban people, edit posts, do whatever he wishes to anyone here. Including send me his nasty messages despite me having him on ignore. I'm FORCED to deal with his shit. And he's shown many, many times that he's a troll, and encourages others to join him. An informative troll that can back up his opinions, but still, a troll. If he was not a moderator, then I would not care. He can be his trollish little prick self all he wants. Being a writer for this site is entirely different. You have no power over people. You write stuff. People have the choice to read it. Infact, I think HTQ would be a great writer, as long as he stuck to his content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
