Drunken Mailbag Q & A 

Post#1 » by ElectricMayhem » Wed Dec 30, 2015 10:32 am

Hello everyone!

I started a feature on detroitbadboys called drunken mailbag where I (or another writer) gets inebriated and answers your questions on basketball, the Pistons, or life in general.

Here's how my first one went:

I'm going to be doing another one for New Year's Eve (Japan time - 14 hours ahead of EST), so if you have any questions, just leave them here and I'll be happy to answer. Granted, I'm no Keith Langlois, but I'll do my best.

I mean this constructively. I think it be more interesting if you guys do it on video. and basically gave your opinions of the pistons team. Idk how many writers are but if you get 3 writers, get them drunk and then have questions about the pistons team

"better player: Winslow or Johnson"

"Can this team win the EC?"

Stuff like that. i am sure someone will disagree, and disagreements amongst drunk peers is always funny when you can see rather than read it.

It may just not be my cup of tea, but definitely something different to read rather than all that same beat writer BS.

EDIT:

I got ^that idea from this youtube series my woman watches called Wine about it

Got busted reading this at work (due to laughing louder than I thought..... apparently). I blame you and demand compensation.

It's a good idea, but it doesn't really play to my strengths. Also, I wouldn't be able to be in the same room as other writers by virtue of living in Japan. We could do Skype or something, but either they'd be drinking in the morning or I would.

I hope a New Year's Eve version of Drunken Mailbag sufficiently compenses you.

I thought it was a good read and reasonably funny. Only gripe would be that some of your responses were lengthy.

Humour is difficult in text form though so well done for having a go

I'm just hoping for a few questions I can use...

Here's a couple:

Is SVG foolish for not benching Illy & starting SJ?

Is RJ better than John Wall (& yeah I said it)?

Is one Morris enough for the Pistons or should we go for double or nothing?
