Speaking of cluttering up threads...SMH.
he says, after cluttering up the thread .... you know, Pee Wee Herman had the routine, "I know you are but what I am I," but somehow it just doesn't work on sports forums, with adults. I am sure you will figure that out eventually.SoldierGriz said:Speaking of cluttering up threads...SMH.
For what it's worth, I enjoy your posts more than most. But, I avoid the football side of this site because I think there is too damn much hostility and anger there. Sad to see it move over here. I guess there are more than a few that just are preparing to win championships, or some such shit.UMGriz75 said:I think the same of yours often. Breunig is a good example. There are two sides to the "story." I walked through both sides of them. I concluded he could probably play Pac12 today, but that is based on hypotheticals, not the actual record, and ... it's not going to happen. Simply point that out, and you become the "shittiest poster."SoldierGriz said:No. I think very, very highly of Martin Breunig.UMGriz75 said:My gosh, you must be a bitter little man, stewing for a "very,very long time." Think poorly of Martin Breunig, do you? Then you're the dipshit. Why you guys need to bring your internecine idiot personal battles over to the basketball threads like a bunch of petulant kids on the playground does not puzzle me, it tells exactly who and what you are.SoldierGriz said:Just entered? He's been there for a very, very long time.
You are probably a nice guy, but your posts on eGriz are simply toxic. Period.
It is the same with the football threads. If someone says something downright bone dead stupid, like "Stitt is going to recruit QBs that are fast and accurate," as though they just got off the phone with Stitt, and as though no coach, ever, says exactly the same thing, and anyone points out that the claim says absolutely nothing at all about Stitt, well by some miracle that is "anti-Stitt!" because off-the-rails fans are so invested in their love affairs that they don't comprehend, in their breathless adoration, that Stitt himself would probably be the first to say, "gee, that's kind of dumb, I'm not really the first coach to think that QBs ought to be fast and accurate." As though, up until the Stitt era, coaches generally were looking for QBs that were slow and stupid. THAT is what is mind-numbingly stupid.
And so, the natural defense of the clueless is to substitute themselves for Bob Stitt. It is an interesting displacement. Criticize them, you criticize Bob Stitt! It's just stupid. And after recently wasting ten pages of arguing about him being a "$300,000 coach" and being called a liar in big letters using every negative emoticon in the library, it turns out that he is in fact a $300,000 coach, I am less than impressed when someone like you says "my" posts are toxic. You missed the posters who were screaming "LIAR!" every other post. I generally have the courtesy to use data, and it generally supports my points.
But, with guys like you, as on this Breunig thread, anyone that points out actual facts, and holy smokes its like being the wrong color at a Ku Klux Klan Rally. Your mindless bigotry is what is toxic. You make sports a political endeavor, in which facts are always subsumed to "narratives," and don't screw with the "narrative." I enjoy sports because I've been involved all my life. Very little of that time was spent in the armchair yelling at the TV screen.
Well, I appreciate it. Every fan base has its "obsessives" and if you say anything crossways to their religious beliefs, holy smokes! Egriz definitely has them.GrizLA said:For what it's worth, I enjoy your posts more than most.
