Quite right too.Newbies are not allowed to be sarcastic until they've passed a certain number of posts.The good thing is, the number of posts is different, depending on the individual.PS I don't know if I like the idea of using Italics, they're usually used for quoting someone.I prefer a different colour. Therefore, I nominate the colour Green as the official colour of Sarcasm Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's sarcasm survives.]And I use green text for pro-Eagles screeds. Why not a font no one uses for posts?Let's see... anyone use ARIAL that much around here? I personally can't stand this like I can't stand Comic.This should be a new thread... back to the numbers, boys & girls. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

winghaz Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Alan Page was a defensive tackle, not a defensive end.Page and Gary Larson were the defensive tackles with the Purple People Eaters, while Jim Marshall and Carl Eller were the defensive ends.

andrewharrington Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Italics are actually used for titles and to place emphasis on a word or phrase. Quotation marks are used to quote someone.

spyboy1 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 My favorite numbering trend: the Chicago Cheetahs, a Roller Hockey International team, all wore numbers above 70, which is the observed speed (in mph) of a cheetah. I had some friends who had an indoor soccer team. They all wore #17. The entire team!

perfesser Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Italics are actually used for titles and to place emphasis on a word or phrase. Quotation marks are used to quote someone. Technically, book, magazine and newspaper, etc. titles are italicized. Titles of articles or chapters in the aforementioned publications go in quotation marks. So do song, movie, or TV titles, though album titles are italicized. Underlining is an acceptable substitute for italicizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else used it in the last day or so, so I thought I might be on to something.For what it is worth, I am in the low 100s in posts. Do I qualify yet for sarcasm in accordance with the individually graded/applied scale?

ShaftDu Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 just wanted to add my 2 cents:Who cares? NFL today, you got teams running out of numbers. If the WR wants teens, why not? I wouldn't be surpise if they are allow the single digit or even Zero number in the next few years. I am surpise they don't let the halfbacks do that now like in the NCAA.But my question to anyone who knows about number rules. How can the NBA allow Dennis Rodman to use 91? Doesn't the numbers in basketball have to be a digit of 5. Just for you newbies, the ref needs to commicate to the scorers' table so he only has 5 fingers.

I'm not sure if it is official, but the NBA has long ago stopped enforcing that rule, assuming it is still on the books (Kobe Bryant -- 8, Julius Erving -- 6, for example, though I know there are countless other ones). It does still apply in college. I'm not sure about international competition (the Dream Team used sequential numbers from 1, with Michael Jordan being 9 if IIRC -- feel free to correct me if I am wrong).

Discrim Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 mockba beat me to it, but heh.the NBA has seemingly always allowed digits higher than 5 to be worn (you can look all the way back to George Mikan's 99)...that's mainly a high school and college rule.

rockchalk Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I don't think it'll be too long until the NFL adopts the NCAA and NHSAA rules (50-79 only ineligible) and if it is, it shouldn't...I don't see what's so wrong about having unique numbers. It's kinda cool in my opinion I've decided to give up hope for all sports teams I follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 International basketball's actually very strict about their jersey numbers; players can only wear a certain number range, 4-15.

rockchalk Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 As an aside, John Hadl was an All-Big 8 punter and halfback in 1959 as a sophomore, then converted to QB in 1960, only to stay all conference. Pretty impressive stuff...I had no real point, just saying that KU has had some pretty decent football players I've decided to give up hope for all sports teams I follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
