Back

I am back with another blog entry this week. What a week it has been so far. I am going on my trip tomorrow but it really starts tonight. I am very very much looking forward to it. I hope nothing gets in the way of me and Rach having a massive amount of fun this upcoming weekend.

 

I became livid with SportsCollectors.net this week. For those of you that don't know, that is a website where people can track not only their autograph requests, but others. It is highly beneficial to be a member of the site if you collect autographs. I can not count how many times people have signed for a short while that virually never sign (ie. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). I sign up for 15 dollars a year to unlock the whole website. Usually though, I will share my password with Bob so he can use the site and track his requests. Recently I went on the message board and was talking about the HOF class. Everyone bitched and moaned about me saying

1. Mark Grace deserves to go into the Hall
   

   And
   

2. Lee Smith is the greatest closer ever
   

 

Those two points were unpopular but I defended them well. All of the sudden a tool named Vinniemiller called me an idiot for those views. Not taking him too serious his comments, I told him to taste my ass, a popular quote from Shaq. This created a firestorm. All of the sudden, some piece of shit named Jobafan (after the queer Joba Chamberlain) starting bitching and comparing me to some member who he said acts like a child, although that member is just a cool guy who, like me, doesn't take sports too seriously. So I tell Jobafan to private message me if he has a problem with me. He doesn't and keeps it on the board. Out of nowhere, he tells me to fuck off. I called him an asshole. This guy named Justgreg came on bitching, saying his kid reads the message boards and he can't have the bad language. At the same time, Vinniemiller makes a post asking people if they like him on the sports message board.

 

Jay Grossman, the founder of the site messages me and says that bad language isn't allowed and as a result, I am being warned. Apparently, I am his eight year old child so that is ok to do to me. In the meantime, he doesn't give me any info on if he warned Jobafan in the same childish manner he did me despite the reason he said "fuck off". I also have to ask Jay several times to remove Vinnie's post attacking me. A day or so passes and Jay messages me saying that he is banning me from the boards because my friend uses my screen name and that is a huge no-no. So I go on the new message board thread and see that Joba can barely hide his excitement in the news. Meanwhile, my friends on the message boards are like bummed out.

 

To make matters worse, justgreg, mentioned earlier bitching about the language, private messages me and is like, you said I could PM you with any problems and you are immature, profane, and you brag about your education. This makes no sense because I never brag about my educational level to anyone, let alone on a message board. He must have searched my posts to make his weak point and saw that in introducing myself, I said that I am in grad school and was therefore bragging about my education. Even though saying, I am in grad school to a group of people talking about if they are in school or not is in no way bragging. I told Justgreg (my posting priveledges weren't immediately dropped, I had a few minutes) that I lashed out at Joba because he came after me. I told him that I hope someone is teaching his son to stick up for himself because he certainly isn't doing it.

 

What is funny is last time me and Jay had an argument and I lost my posting privileges for two days, I could still message him and do other stuff. Now, I can't do much at all. Even my pictures don't show up. I can't even message him to ask him when I can come back. This morning, I messaged him to ask him if he plans on banning Justgreg the same as me. The fact is the guy verbally attacked me in the same way Jay accused me of doing to Joba. Also, his kid is going under his name, which is the same as me and Bob. I have gotten no reply. Also, recently, Joba mentioned on a board that I am lucky Jay only banned my posting priveledges because if he saw my profile, I would be banned from the site for life.

 

My profile says exactly what I feel and that is that the site is full of some of the most disgusting people I have ever met. I hate to say it but a majority of them are Red Sox and Yankees fans. They are either a good representation of bad people or a bad representation of good people. I wrote also that I would rather give my money to anyone else out there at all, but the unfortunate fact is that this is the only sports collecting website of it's caliber, so I am stuck. With that said, if anyone ever wants to go on the site, ask me for my password rather than give him money, nobody needs to ever give him another dime.

 

 

The Clips signed Baron Davis. That is amazing….IF they resign Brand. If they don't, they will only continue to suck for years on end. If they resign Brand, wow, that is an amazing team. Think about it…

C-Kaman

PF-Brand

SF-Thornton

SG-Gordon

PG-Davis

 

I heard that Brand may go to Golden St. That would really mix up the whole league. It is hard to imagine Davis going to LA and Brand in Golden St. I still like Golden St. a lot next year if that happened.

Here is their lineup…

C-Biedrins

PF-Brand

SF-Wright

SG-Jackson

PG-Ellis

Bench:

F-Harrington

G-Pietrus

 

Oh well…I g2g for the next few days. Cya guys next week…
