OT: Welcome Me

[The Guilty Party]

Who was the guy you emailed to at Sixers.com? I think we should let him know that Mad Dog would be a popular choice.

I e-mailed a lot of people at the Sixers. Here's the contact sheet for the franchise...

I'm guessing that Mike Preston (Public Relations) should be our target, right?? I'm on this.

******* Hopefully I get a response ***********

Hey Mike,
I know this seems like a petty question but it's August and boredom has finally corrupted my soul. Do you know if Bob Salmi is going to be back as the color commentator for the Sixers' games this season? He seems like a nice enough guy but he's far too vanilla for most of Sixer Nation. He makes a great post-game guy... but he seems to lack the fire and enthusiam that most commentators around the league have.

Will he be back?

Thanks for your time.

I could not have put it any better. I agree that Salmi is O.K. as an analyst, but I got really board listening to the same shtick after about 1/3 of the season. The guy is just dull. I nice guy and knowledgeable, but dull. You can't put another nerdy guy next to Zoo.

Helloooo? Is this where I come to get welcomed?

I've been lurking post-Brand and admiring from afar the meaty topics, passionate discussion, insights and humor. I don't know why I thought I could add anything, but I thought if I came in I might be able to find the free chips and beer.

Thanks for the conversation.

Eh... there are really only two people on this board that have any value. SF76 has inside info (**cough cough** he finds news on the net faster than anyone else) and kanga is a genius when it comes to using Photoshop.

The rest of us??? Well, I'd like to think that we're all here waiting for some new guy to show up with free chips and beer. If you're not that guy, you're more than welcome to join the watiing crowd.

I'm probably the "GMAN" (I guess you would know him since you're from philaphans) of the board since I tend to overreact when bad things happen.

Particularly with Silly Willie.
