I some what am in a camp that the more they chase ratings, the more they drive away.

People tune into sports because they want real moments, not artificial moments. The gimmicks are artificial.

When they start competing with artificial, those that specialize in that will still hold the attention.

How ironic that you would say that sammy. It was because of you that I stopped posting in PARF. What was it, some time close to a year ago now that you did some sort of internet search on me to find out that I declared bankruptcy in 1997, and then you posted that in an effort, I can only imagine, to embarrass me. What kind of a person does that?

As I posted there, and here again, the irony of course was the bankruptcy was the result of the investment bank we hired for the due diligence on Lamaze Publishing buying the magazine I started, Modern Dad (parenting magazine for men, basically Popular Mechanics, Popular Science and Men's Health all rolled into one with a parenting slant... how to teach your son how to throw a curve ball and the physics behind it) found that the CFO of Lamaze had embezzled over $500K from the company. So they didn't buy us. And time ran out and that was that for Modern Dad. In reality, they wanted a special section in the magazine, FirstTime Dad, which was a huge success. The entire premise was to get dads involved right from the start, before they got stuck in the provider role.

The irony of course was Sammy posted this to publicly humiliate me. But I did exactly what his hero, Donald Trump, had done many times. I just didn't grow up in a wealthy family and have my dad give me $400M so my partner and I financed the magazine ourselves. I actually gave her money so she didn't have to declare bankruptcy and I did. What a great time that was. Fantastic magazine but FirstTime Dad, that was the key for getting dads involved, before they were even dads. Childbirth educators loved us. Another story.

So sammy, yeah, sort of ironic that you would say that.

I got home around 8pm and had recorded the SB...loved the game since I had the DVR Time Machine in my hand.

Both defenses where special...evidentially, on the TD drive and the last drive Josh McDaniel scrapped the game plan in real time and went with old school formations.

I love football track meets up to a point. This was fun.

you better check your facts, I believe you have me mixed up with someone else. I have no knowledge of what you are speaking of, I don't even recall the thread or reading about it.

I recall you making a bet and then after being pressured bounced the check and lied about it, but that was years ago. I don't know anything about your business failings except what you have posted.

Your dirty laundry is your shame, not mine.
Check your facts and apologize.

Yep.

Just as dads’ magazines are for wimpy-assed metrosexuals.

I too can admire a low score high level defensive game. Watching the speed of adaption to whatever method is employed is fascinating.

I didn't watch the game though so I can't comment directly on it.

No it was you. Given what you did, I'm not surprised by your response.

And here again you have lied about the circumstances on that bet and the check bouncing, which it certainly did after a Paypal transfer which usually took one day took two. In fact Joe got a new check the next day.

And guess what, Joe and I are good friends now.

So tell me Sammy, how much hate is in your heart that you had to do a search on me and then post what you found? What's that like?

you are well known for being the meanest angriest person on this board. Why are you so angry?

There is a difference between being confrontational and being angry.

OK douche, I think I found what fantasyworld you are living in today.

You were bragging about all the different careers you've had over the years, about how worldly and well-rounded you were, and how that made you superior to others.

I thought that was ironic as I had recalled that YOU mentioned a business venture you were in going belly up, and I posted the following:

That was based on info YOU had posted. A long time ago. How a company you started failed. That's all I posted. there was no internet search, you made that up.
as usual.

You want me to post the threads about your SOCIAL EXPERIMENT?
Where you lied about sending the check, when you hadn't? then when you were pressured into actually paying the bet, the check bounced?

How many times are you going to lie when the truth is known by everyone?

After you got spanked out in the open and you again denied the truth, this was your pitiful excuse:

You swore on your mother's grave, and then later admitted it wasn't true.

Pretty damn sleazy if you ask me, but you are consistent.

You see, you are a liar. How long did the search take? Why are you so angry? What happened to you to make you so mean-spirited.

Oh, and it was only after you posted that I declared bankruptcy that I went through my ultra-cool life. Good lord I've had an amazing life!

LOL! It became a social experiment sure, it was interesting, but Joe got the new check the next day, and of course it cleared.

But look at you right now, you are off the rails! . What is it like to be so full of hate?

Listen, you got caught lying about doing an internet search about me and then posting I declared bankruptcy. Man up already.

So you are confirming that you are a liar? This is fun!

Like I said, Joe and I good friends now.

What's it like to be consumed by hate?
