Off Topic VII

[BlackOutBuzz]

I was hate watching. Really had no rooting interest but hey, it's the playoffs. What an awful game though.

Shazier, Burfict, Jones. All talented, all dirty. Was only a matter of time before Burfict came unhinged.

Worst part IMO though was Joey Porter. Ruined what had somehow become a competitive game by going into the field for no reason other than to bait the idiot PacMan into a cheap penalty.

More devastating loss - Bengals or Vikings?

Bring on those Seahawks.

Lol. There is no way you can put Shazier into the same group as Burfict as a dirty player. Shazier doesn't have a history of taking cheap shots, and that hit in this game, while brutal and questionable was still a legal hit. There is a reason why Burfict was undrafted even though he has a ton of talent, and that's because of his character issues. He was benched during his college years for too many personal fouls. And has a reputation as a dirty player in the pros because he keeps taking cheap shots like the one on Brown where he was hanging in the air, defenseless. Don't even try to put them in the same category.

He's not Burfict, that guy's obviously another level. The hit's legality was questionable but the celebration after was what pissed me off.

To be honest. That celebration annoyed me too. It was a huge caused fumble and recovery, but you don't celebrate when someone gets hurt.

I also felt weird with the challenge but...I know why Tomlin had to do it. Some were raising the question if it's truly a fumble if the guy is knocked unconscious. Slippery slope though.

Poor Clemson. Really thought they might pull this one out.

My ex-girlfriend lives in Seattle.

She, and all her family and friends, are HUGE Seahawks fans.

She broke my heart so I can't decide if I want you guys to beat them the way the Pats did in the Super Bowl or to blow them out by 50+.

I'm leaning towards a Pats like win.

Crush their souls.

Rams and Chargers leaving St Louis and San Diego for LA.

Maybe Dodge can get naming rights and call them the Dodge Rams and Dodge Chargers.

Yes sir.

Beaver tails and hot chocolate on the canal during the winter is always a must.

Winterlude in February is also awesome.

Had my sister and her family in town last week visiting from Australia. Took them tobogganing in -26c (-15f) weather.

It was awesome.

Random question and list alert...


When you check this forum, which threads are you most excited about seeing a new, unread post? (excluding draft season, free agent season)

Most Fave
1. Off topic - always cool, fun posts in this thread, almost none of which make me angry
2. Honeybees - its usually me doing the posting in that thread, but still, nothing but awesomeness in that thread.
3. What are you listening to/What are you watching - I always love talking music and TV with the board
4. Any thread containing a Zach Lowe mention about the Hornets
5. Around the NBA - general NBA talk is a breath of fresh air, nice getting insight about stuff outside of Hornets
6. Fun with stats - I enjoy seeing the stat nerds post their findings
7. Steph Ready - there's always a chance of a leaked lingerie photo, 0.00000001%, but whatever. And she deserves all the good press for being awesome.
8. NBA2K - even though I suck and dont play much, its fun to read everyone's stories.
9. Any bumped former player thread - if someone took the time to dig up an old thread to post something, its probably interesting.
10. Current game threads - because, of course

Honorable mention: The Jeremy Lin thread - Trick or Treat. 50% chance I will be entertained, 50% I will be angry.

Least Fave
1. Fake Trade Thread - to be honest, I rarely even check this thread. I find 99% of the discussions in this thread to be delusional.
2. College BBall - Don't care about college hoops until March. Don't care about prospects until June.
3. Current Hammer thread - don't get me wrong, the Hammer threads are one of the things I am most proud about on this forum, but reading other people's votes isn't really that interesting to me. I never look at anyone else's votes before I make my own.
4. Kemba Walker - Its all been said 1000 times.
5. Steve Clifford/Rich Cho - nobody ever goes to these threads for praise, just bitching.

[HornetJail]

Most favorite:
-MKG thread

Least favorite:
-Jeremy Lin thread

[Diop]

Around the NBA - usually seem to find the interesting goss in here
Fake Trade Thread - i always wished I was a GM and always love trade season, so I enjoy the discussion although most trades are 1 sided
Off Topic - its different and normally interesting. also generally a lot more personal than the other threads so you get to know posters more
NBA2K - always been a gaming nerd, I haven't played this for a while but love sharing the war stories
Game threads - when i miss a game, its a good way to get a feel of how it went. better than most write ups really

Least
Kemba Walker - Same arguments and discussion
College bball - never really watched, so its all foreign to me
Rich Cho thread - hind sight drafting is like shooting fish in a barrel, its easy to criticise but we really only know about 10% of really goes on. Its also the same old arguments like the Kemba thread

that's probably the only stand outs for me. The others I all look out with neutral enthusiasm. especially seeing I now split my time with the Off Topic forum, which is a straight out zoo
