start your Kobe fueled excuses here

[greenbriar]

My team mates didn't show up to play

[HughMoran]

1. Mine did!

:):):)

[greenbriar]

2. Oh I hate the fakers

I am just providing a place for the excuses.

I am GLAD that not only did the Celtics win but for the HUGE ass tromping win

3. You're sure unfamiliar with the concept of class, ha

greenbriar?

Instead of just enjoying the night and the Celtics' championship, you have to behave like a sore winner and go for the throat. :thumbsdown:

It was the same way type of behavior with Obama.

Just a really shabby display of sportsmanship on your part. The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner. And some would argue being a sore winner is worse because there's absolutely no justification.

People can understand why losing fans might be bitter and angry.

But you win the NBA Championship, and instead of praising Boston, you choose to attack L.A.

4. actually, I am a SPURS fan

so carry on!!!


and I never acted that way with Obama so you are off base.



Sorry your fakers lost

[cboy4]

5. Sore winner.

:puke:

I actually like the Spurs. What a classy organization, and Tim Duncan is just remarkable.

What a disgrace you are representing them as an alleged fan.

6. bla

7. Exactly. You have nothing to say.

As per usual.

8. "What a disgrace you are representing them as an alleged fan."

You take this sports stuff waaaaaay too seriously.

The Spurs, and any team in any sport, are not this honorable entity that only the true and just rally around. It's bread and circuses, and they draw the same types of people that bread and circuses have always drawn. Greenbriar doesn't represent any of those teams, any more than you represent SF teams, or I represent Boston teams. He's one fan among millions, some great, some horrible, most firmly planted in between.

And what does being a sports fan and getting worked up over these things say about us anyways? War, famine, genocide...these things are all going on daily as we watch a bunch of rich athletes speak of honor, of sacrifice. We give them that pass daily. I'd argue that not a single one of us sports fans really has a leg to stand on when it comes to calling another a disgrace.

The only way to accept our disconnect is to realize it's just a game. That, as far as sports goes, the actions of you or I or greenbriar are all insignificant in the long run, and not worth the seriousness you're lending it here, or that I and others lend it elsewhere. I love sports, but at the end of each day I know what it really means, which is a big fat ZIPPO. How far do we really want to take our love of games, and how serious do we want to take it? If you think about it, sports, and the attention we lavish on it, is pretty fucking dumb.

But the alternative is to take a long look at ourselves...something I suspect none of us sports fans are really up to doing. :shrug:

There you go, a serious reply on why we shouldn't take sports so seriously. :)

9. I know forkboy, but I'm in a really bad mood today because

of all of the assholes who are attacking me for saying grave dancing is not synonymous with liberal values and it should stop...especially if it involves people who are not monsters.

It was as though I was defending Bush or something.

I've already wrote a nice congratulatory post to the Celtics, but some people don't know when to stop .. especially when they're posting the same thing in multiple forums just to be a dick.

I know sports isn't important compared to real life worries, but I'm really irritated some people feel the need to just keep teasing the Black Mamba.
