Holy crap... Is the Sports Forum always like that?

[JTG of the PRB]

I just went in there for the first time a few minutes ago... I don't think I have the nerve to post anything in there. :scared:

1. I know nothing.

[flvegan]

2. Pretty calm right now if you ask me.

You really do have to just jump right in. Oh, and most of the DU rules? Right out the window in that forum. Not that I mind, makes for quite the entertaining spectacle sometimes.

6. I used to post almost every day on a sports-only forum for a few years.

There were some pretty intense rivalries there too. Maybe I've just been out of the game for too long. :shrug:

[Ptah]

3. AKA Thunderdome. You be careful over there.

[madinmaryland]

4. Yeap. Way too much STEROIDS over there!

:rofl:

[JTG of the PRB]

5. Yeesh. Tell me about it!

:crazy:

[Forkboy]

16. cboy can't post in any other forum or he'll get banned.

The Sports Forum is the only place he can pull his shit and get away with it. He tried a couple weeks ago in GD and got suspended. Funny ass shit. ;)

7. Only worth it for H20 Man's weekly boxing thread

If you want to discuss other sports sanely, by all means go somewhere else.

8. What is it this time?

I haven't been over there to slag off baseball or american "football" recently, only to comment on how Andy Murray was overhyped at Wimbledon.

9. DU Sports forum?

I lurk there occasionally and it is pretty mild. Go to an ESPN Sports forum and you see over the top trash talk, personal attacks, personal attacks on public players, language is pretty bad, people like to type in ALL CAPS with hundred !!!!!!!!!

[SoxFan]

17. In other words, Jets fans post there...

:evilgrin:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. yes, apparantly ones self esteem & identity is deeply tied into the team one roots for

[bigwillq]

11. And what is wrong with that?!

:shrug: :P ;) :) :rofl:

Go Yankees! Go NY Giants! Go Syracuse Men's Hoops! :bounce:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. it makes you bitter when your team loses? fyi, i do not think your esteem or identity

exists outside your self. its why you are such a delight

[bigwillq]

13. I do get bitter

when my team loses, for a little bit. I am very competitive in sports. I dislike losing. But that feeling only lasts a little bit because I know I have no control over my teams' winning or losing. :)

Thanks for your kind words! :) I was talking about you with another DUer the other day. I really need to come visit! :) :hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. which other du'er?

[bigwillq]

15. The one I like

very much. Check your PM! :)

[Iggo]

18. If ya hide all the Giants-loving and Giants-bashing threads...

....then it's kind of okay. But terribly boring.

[madinmaryland]

21. And the steroid threads.

It will leave the boxing thread and the chess thread!

[Strong Atheist]

19. I really don't like sports. What would happen if someone said that

there? Would it start a riot?

:evilgrin:

:rofl:

:hide:

[Forkboy]

20. We are kind, loving people down there. We wouldn't be upset at all.

I'm shocked and disheartened that you think you would catch flack for not liking our beloved sports. We are men and women of enlightened dispositions, with empathy and goodwill for all.

Unless you think Barry Bonds didn't do steroids, in which case you're an assface....

:hide:

[madinmaryland]

22. Bonds Hater!

What a racist comment to make! The whole case is a sham by the government to go after an innocent man!!

:hide:

:D
