Re: Leo Rautins Has Hit Rock Bottom
You guys are really messed up stalking players.
Here's my story. This time I was at a hockey rink and Ron Francis walks up and sits down in the seat in front of me. I look up and say "Hey Ron. Who are you watching" He said "My nephew" so I said "Me too" and that was the end of the conversation. We watched the hockey game without saying another word really. Also there was no weird swarming or anything by anyone else either. Of course this was in Sault Ste. Marie and we're used to having professional hockey players walking around town so it's no big deal.
There's no need to make it weird or anything.

Funny you should mention Sherm. Because I live in MLS i often run into random players and coaching staff at that Longos. Last October i see Sherm coming down the escalator to Longos as im going up. He was looking down at his phone and as we passed eachother I go "Sherm! Love ya man!" Sherm looked up, smiled, waved his hand at me in acknowledgement and continued down. I got to the top, stood there for a brief second as endorphins flooded my brain and decided to go back down the escalator to see if I could ask him what he thought about Bargs goin into the upcoming season.
When I got back down I quickly darted around to see where he was. When I finally spotted him in the produce section, I very non-chalantly began to act as if I was selecting fruit from a nearby bin. I slowly crept my way over to him and said, "WHat do you think about Bargs goin into this season?" His head literally whips up and, startled, he goes, "wh, what? I dunno man." and looked back at the colliflower he was holding. I go, "i didnt mean to startle you dude, i just wanted to let you know..." and he literally starts walking away.
These guys have such big egos, its ridiculous. They need a serious reaity check. NOONE would recognize them outside of hardcore Raps fans, right?
Dude, what's the common denominator between your Leo story and this? Hate to break it to ya, but it's you. And possible your strange description of "head-whipping".

Fine. Last one then im seriously crashing. It was sometime in 2003, my first year of uni when i came back into the city to visit my folks. I was visiting a friend at his building at Yonge and Front St to smoke up. We end up hitting this bong that he had just purchased and named "LeBong James." Anyways, im set to leave his pad when I hop in the elevator and who is standing right in front of me? Kevin O'Neill. It was all too quick for me to process so I must have had a gawking look on my face for a split second and then played it off. He sort of mustered a smile, rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and then the top of his head as he looked up toward the ceiling. I said something along the lines of, "500 man. We'll finish strong though." I dont even think he processed what I said but replied with a "yup", making no eye contact. I go, "live in the building?" he goes, "uhh, no, just visiting a friend." "A player?" I asked. "umm, no, just a friend." He replied.
At this point I didn't really know where to go with the convo and luckily the doors opened. He stepped out and so did I, even though I was on the wrong floor. (dumb, i know). I started walking the opposite way down the hall to play it off like I had an idea of where I was going. When i looked back i saw him closing a door. I quickly scurried to the door that had just closed and put my ear to it. I heard a woman greeting him and a few muffled words. Then, silence. The door literally whipped open and, because I was leaning on it with my head, I stumbled forward in toward the room.
I look up and see an ENRAGED Kevin, now making direct eye contact. We are talking furrowed brow and beet red in the face. The girl just looking at me like im weird or some ****. I quickly start stepping backward saying "I, I didn't mean to..." and before I could finish, he literally started pushing me and threw a couple of punches, one landing square on my jaw. The girl was frantically pulling him back toward the condo door until she finally got him in there and they locked it.
I ran 5 flights of stairs back up to my buddies place and told him the story and he told me that I was out of line but that Kevin could be sued for hitting me. To this day i seriously regret not sueing the **** out of him. I could have had Raps courtside seats for life or something!! What a prick.
Tommorow I'll tell you about Antonio Davis. I used to live at Yonge and York Mills right by his home and when he had a new front door being installed, I played like i was working with the installation company to have a convo with him and it worked. Ill tell more later.
Dude, you are officially an A-1 creeper. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.

Matt even made fun of Leo about that on Wednesday.
"You know why I didn't like that block Matt?"
"Because he didn't block it to a teammate?"
"No, because it's bad defense"

"Because he didn't block it to a teammate?"
"No, because it's bad defense"
So to summary. How to block shots according the Leo
1. Direct at teammate
2. Don't swat, just grab the ball in-flight (so easy)
3. Don't get beat or the block becomes irrelevant

Main Event is Indian. It's perfectly normal for them to jump out from behind bushes to profess their love for the woman they have been stalking. If he ran into Leo or Sherm or Lebron in a forest, he could have started into song and dance instead of trying to whisper lovingly in their ear.

Well you know how Colangelo fans will say "who else can we get??". It seems with Canada Basketball, that's actually true. Like they seriously can't find anyone other than Leo or Jay Triano.

I think you (without knowing) made it extremely weird for him because you made it seem like you were watching his nephew, which is why you sat there in awkward silence.
