roomtemp Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Only time booing a player is acceptable is when they leave in their prime via FA for big money instead of playing for us. Niedermayer doesn't count because playing with his brother was clearly important to him and it's not like he left to get bigger money, he left for personal reasons. Guys like Gomez, Parise, etc. Booing them is acceptable because while they gave us something, it wasn't enough. Parise didn't win us sh!t and Gomez was a grade A douche leaving for giant $$ across the river. Guys who leave when we never offered them a chance to stay or were clearly going to get way more money from another team a la Clarkson, I can't really get mad at. Clarkson dug his grave by leaving us for big money so that's punishment enough, lol. If you're booing Marty, I don't know what's wrong with you because the guy played his whole career to date here, gave us everything he had and brought us 3 cups. I'd boo Parise because that was the first stone in this sh!t ride that has been the past two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Except unlike Favre, Marty wasn't angling to go to a hated rival out of revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onddeck Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Favre played for Minnesota.. .. right. like he said, Minny is a rival to GB.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Minnesota was the best fit for Favre though. I do think if the best fit for Brodeur was New York or Philly that he wouldn't go there. But then again it's hard to say what someone will do in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again it's hard to say what someone will do in that situation. And Minnesota would have won it all if the Saints didn't cheap shot Favre, the refs allowed them to play dirty and made like 5-10 awful calls in OT all favoring the Saints.

Chuck the Duck Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I think he's waiting for LeBron to make a decision before he signs somewhere You can hardly blame him. Isn't the entire world anxiously anticipating King James' decision, part deux. I know I can't get enough of ESPN's coverage of this story. It's must-watch, riveting TV.

The piece on Kovy's inability to break down corn and seeds during his disgestive process was pulitzer prize winning stuff. I guess I stand corrected then.

RizzMB30 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The NBA is a joke. I don't find basketball that interesting. I feel that hockey, soccer, and even football are more team-oriented sports compared to basketball or baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to like it, but you do have to be able to look at yourselves - this place went nuts for Kovalchuk all summer. And Kovalchuk isn't even a quarter of what LeBron James is.

devilsrule33 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 ESPN manufactures a ton of sh!t, but where LeBron was going and how it affects the entire landscape of the NBA was definitely worth the coverage. Of course, a number of ESPN's pathetic reports (mainly Chris Broussard) embarrassed themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Kovalchuk isn't even a quarter of what LeBron James is. I don't care so much about basketball fans talking about it. But he does everything he can to turn it into a giant spectacle, as does ESPN, and it's the second time he's done it already. Oh well, nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people. EDIT: Uggh, dear lord, he wrote a friggin' essay about it, in which he pats himself on the back for not having a party or a press conference.

LeBron stayed quiet the entire time while weighing his options. As for 'The Decision', it was good business for everyone, and the Boys and Girls Club received about $7-8 million for it. It's amazing how many hate LeBron. He can't win at all. Edited July 11, 2014 by devilsrule33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
