Say something nice about a team you dislike

[salsadancer7]

Laettner was this, he was that, blah blah blah. I hated him too. Great college player, but I have to admit it did give me some solace to see him become an NBA bust.

There were worse NBA players, of course, but he didn't come close to living up to his draft billing...after all, he was drafted third behind Shaq and Alonzo Mourning.

And there are a lot of players who are 'that good', and aren't as arrogant as I found Laettner to be. Lebron, Kevin Garnett, Steve Nash, Tim Duncan, Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki...the list goes on and on, and that's just basketball.

Brady, Jeter, Howard, Ortiz, Rice, Rivera, Gretzky, Lemieux, Ovechkin, Crosby, Iginla, Roy, Lidstrom, Sakic, Holiday, Santana, Pujols, Tomlinson, Favre, Sanders, Leetch...and I think I'm missing another thousand or so.

Laettner did not even come close to accomplishing what any of them did, and they manage to do it with class.

'Good' does not have to equal arrogant.

OK....Sandra and I have disagreed on many things....but you are right on the money.:up

 

[HD MM]

Mike is NOWHERE near as arrogant as some of the jerkweeds that have come from that program.

Cough, BOOZER, Cough.

Ohio St. - At least they make it into the MNC game...

DAMN....I forgot them!!! Thank you Derwin.....you found the ONLY thing I can say good about them. Though I DO must admit....the nicest tOSU fans I have met are here.:up

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I don't think talking about someones ELSES "musket" is ever a good thing...

ROFLMAO!

 

[salsadancer7]

Cough, BOOZER, Cough.

LMAO!!!:haha:haha:haha

Stereotyping again Salsa? EVERYONE from Ohio is nice. Trust me.

 

[SandraC]

All this emotion and attention towards a guy YOU HATE? Ahh, it's good to be a Devil!

Um...isn't that what hating a team or player is about...emotion?

Hey, you forgot to answer my point about how players can be good (actually great) and not arrogant.

Speaking of arrogant players,

didn't the occasionally-volatile Ron Artest come from Sandra's school?

I mean tOSU fans....I know many people in Ohio. I lived in Cleveland for one year when my dad use to run horses at ThistleDowns Race track back in the late 70s.

He was pretty wacky when he was here too.

OK, I got one. Jimbo and HD MM,are great guys, even if they are Buckeyes. I guess it's not there fault if they were born there. That's as close as I'm going to get to saying something "nice" about that "evil school from the South".

 

[SandraC]

My mom used to say you could always tell who was the most full of s**t by who spoke the most and loudest. Again: It's great to be a Devil!

Well no offense but...according to you, your mom had a dirty mouth! And you complain about NC fans cursing...

Oh. Well I can't vouch for those who live outside state lines.

 

[SandraC]

Sandra..It's ok..CALM DOWN. I don't HATE ANYONE (ok, Bin Laden maybe or Saddam Hussein-R.I.P, Beotch!). That's where my point about fans being RETARDED came in. You didn't ask me anything, BTW. You simply said they could be good without being arrogant. Remember, this is supposed to be about "nice things to say"..And didn't YOU start the thread? Wow, how negative you all have become..

Who came into the 'positive' thread and started complaing about North Carolina fans and their threats and starting fights and everything? That would be you...


Sandra

LMAO!!!!

Sandra you're killing me!

 

[HD MM]

Can't we all get along? Isn't this thread supposed to be about promoting peace and harmony?
