Yeah, yeah - I've pissed off just about all of you. Maybe I should be on ESPN. Since I suck so much, Sports Guy and everyone else on ESPN sucks so much and everyone finds me so annoying - I'll do a comment mailbag just like "Entertainment Guy", I mean Sports Guy... Call me your Sports Daddy, since I've forgotten more about sports than you'll ever know.
Here I go with my "Uh-huh, these are my commentors" mailbag:
On the topic of most annoying ESPN personality: [I would like to cast a write in vote for Manny Stiles, even though he's not on ESPN posted by Anonymous Fanatic #1 on 2006-07-11 11:51:58
reply Score: 10 [+10 / -0] voted ]
Manny's take - I even voted for that one! Of course, I never give -'s because giving -'s causes cancer, everyone knows it.
Let's go back-back-back-back-back to this gem - [Anyone else stunned that this got nine votes, while legitimate articles that take real thought and real study get 5 or 6?]
Manny's take - what are you thinking? what are you studying? have you read any of your own articles? There 5's and 6's - At least make it interesting content, or failing to do that NEVER USE OR UNDERSTAND SARCASM! You don't 'get' sarcasm, you only rent it...
[Funny - I knew exactly how this article would "read" before even opening it. I also knew that it would be Manny who "penned" it. Perhaps Manny is becoming a bit too predictable.]
Manny's take - I guess that means I have a gimmick, a niche, if you will...a brand name and association by name...thanks for giving me credit for your ignorance! Double thanks for being smart enough to play/read along...
How's about this for an opinion? Never write negative stuff...Don't trash YOUR team. That's like walking around telling everyone that your girlfriend is fugly...
Bring the quality, folks! Be original. Write for your readers, not your aspiring career. By the way, I'm an ESPN insider too, so I can tell when you're stealing ideas from Chad Ford and Marc Stein.
I think I'm gonna retire once I get to 1000 -'s, so keep 'em coming!!! (even if I left the site, I'd just come back as 'Clint Meatwood', 'McCarverblos' or 'Sporty McSport' so assume you can't get rid of me...) AND I'll keep bringing the weird/different/odd stuff, Sorry.
I'm tired of the weak 'worst' and 'sucks' lists... it shows a serious lack of creativity, and I know you are all better than having to resort to whining and complaining - I get enough of that at work. There are billions of fun, positive and insightful lists that can be conjured ahead of 'dumbest athlete' or 'best arrest' - not that I'm against them if the effort is there and the list doesn't have glaring omissions!
If you want to do an original, positive list, go ahead and try one of these:
Best Sports Mustaches
Best Teams to Not win it all
Best draft years (all sports included)
Who would you like to be for a day?
Best 10 sports commercials
Best 43 free agent deals
best sports inventions
best all-time eyewear/spectacles by athlete
favorite all-time baseball cards
Best old rivalries
Best non-sports inventions that came about because of sports
Best 29 ESPN personalities
Best 25 charitable works by a pro athlete
Top 100 people it would be cool to interview on ArmchairGM.com
50 Awesomest reasons to boot Manny Stiles
93 Best run franchises
Who's throwback jersey is the best
What are the best non-ArmchairGM web sites out there?
Top tearjerking moments in sports
Team that's not as bad as their fans say they are
Vote for who should get ArmchairGM.com press credentials and get 'inside' a franchise
Best sportswriters NOT on ArmchairGM.com
Top 18 athletes you'd never recognize.
Who makes the almost Hall of Fame?
Best 55 flash-in-the-pans
Best categories already not on ESPYs
28 Favorite types of articles to read on the Armchair
to name a quick few... go ahead and make the list...I'd love to add my opinion to them
Since everyone here seems tired of them too, I'm not going to post another "Reasons why ArmchairGM is Great" article - but I'll end this nonsense like so...
PLEASE - Clean the upholstry!!! Can we just end the weekly retreads and come up with resolution on who the hottest sports babes are, once and for all? Let's all put our extensive research together, pick a chick and then pester whoever her publicist is until we can get an interview with her??? Let's get some fresh ideas in here... This site is better than the other crap out there or at least it can be...
speaking of which - if there's a site out there that competes with ArmchairGM that any of you want me to TRY to irritate and annoy the hell out of, I'll gladly do it...we are all family here, let's help each other.
That's it! I'm out!
