infrared41 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not as silly as being overly obsessed about a league and team that don't even exist in real life *cough* your signature *cough*.I'm curious as to how you're gauging my level of "obsession", but that's not relevant to this thread. Moving on...And I'm curious as to why you care so much about people using "we" to refer to their teams, when most fans do it anyway. As well as how that is relevant to this thread. But I didn't really get an answer to those either. So yeah, maybe we should move on.I too find it odd how he finds the term "we" stupid, but he plays fantasy sports.I find it odd, how you find much of a correlation between the two.We've been down this road before Milo. I think people find your derisive comments on using "we" a bit disingenuous since you're making said comments while sporting a signature to show off championships you've won with teams that only exist in your head. While there is no correlation between using "we" and fantasy sports, I believe the point is that using "we" is not any more silly than being a pretend owner of a pretend team. It appears to some that you are throwing bricks in a glass house. That said, even though I don't entirely agree with you on the use of "we", I do agree that Lights Out takes the use of "we" to annoyingly new heights. All roads lead to Dollar General.

TFoA Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 So when will the Cavs win another game?Aw man, I didn't think they'd be THIS bad without LeBron...and minus 2 or 3 guys, this is basically the same team. Granted, they've had a ton of injuries, but minus Shaq & Delonte "Plains, Trains, Automobiles...Better Get My Donuts or I Will Smash Your Moms" West, this is the same team from last season, minus LeBron. If they're THIS bad without him, then LeBron not only deserves the MVP for every year he was there, he deserves a Nobel Prize for dragging that team to the playoffs. Holy , they are some kind of terrible.Found this on the Cavs' basketball reference page: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no disillusionment as to level of involvement. This is probably best picked up in the old thread, though (not that I'm very interested in doing so).

The_Admiral Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Real talk: the Clippers would beat the Cavaliers by 15 right now.Anyone who wrote that Anderson Varejao was a pretty good player in his own right, or anything to that effect, should have his fingers cut off and fed to wolves. It's only fair at this point. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
