I don't really understand some sportsfans these days. The more I listen to conversations or read blogs I'm more and more convinced that my confusion stems from just a few different fan bases. There is almost always a majority opinion in the country when it comes to topics about sports or sports figures. You'd have to look pretty hard to find a nut that actually thinks Roger Clemens is innocent of taking PED's or wasn't banging Mindy McCready when she was 15 year old little girl. Most of the country knows he did all of that and is just trying to clear his own name by dragging out a defamation of character lawsuit. But there are very few of those stubborn uninformed sports fans who 'misremember' the facts about what REALLY happened. I can understand the guy that is completely distraught because The Rocket has been his hero since he was eating his own boogies, but what I don't understand is the Ohio State Buckeye fans that feel the constant need to hype up their own squad to any Tom, Dick and Harry that feels like arguing with them.
You can go to almost any message board on this site and you'll see a thread that says, How many days since scUM beat tOSU or Why Ohio State will never join the SEC. There's never a shortage of threads saying that OSU is the real deal and they got screwed in the NC game. If you ask a Buckeye, they got screwed in every game they've lost since 1958. I'll tell you why OSU will never join the SEC. It's because they're in OHIO and not in the South East. That's the most obvious answer to me. Not to mention the fact they wouldn't see a NC game for at least 5 years because, as we've all seen, the SEC spanks them like naughty school girls. If OSU fans would stick to their own boards the world would be a better place. I put Laker fans in this category of stupidity as well.
As a PHX Suns fan I'm aware of the rivalry that exists between us and the Lakers (though I've heard from a couple Laker fans that a rivalry does not exist), but do I want to converse with them on a PHX board? Hell NO!! I don't want to see a Laker fan post threads like, Breaking New: Mike D'Antoni fired. And then to start the thread there's something like a LOL in there. I mean does that really make people laugh out loud? I could tell you that D'Antoni was going to get fired a month ago. That's what happens in the NBA when the plan doesn't work out. Coaches get fired and players get traded. I wonder if Laker nation was laughing out loud when Kobe made that video about getting rid of Bynum. Now that was entertainment. But I digress. Don't these idiots have anything better to do? They are probably the ones that keep internet porn sites up and running......Off topic again, Sorry.
Anyway, don't get sucked into the pointless jibber jabber of crazed porn addict phsychos that are dreaming about playing Michigan for 10 months out of the year. Just be a fan of the game.
