Oh man. I'll never forget Joe Carter asking McMahon about him.

Oh, I forgot about that. LOL. Joe Carter. I'm not so sure he should ever be a 7th inning stretch singer let alone a Cub broadcaster.

Before my time. :wink:

Hmm. Seems like only yesterday......

I may be alone on this, but I don't buy playoff/championship gear until these conditions are met.

 

a) My team is the division champion or wins the conference as a wild card.

b) Their season is over.

I'm leaning towards switching to that line of thinking. But if a team doesn't win the final game, would I want to go back and buy a t-shirt?

 

For this, though, I think I'll wait for the SB t-shirt (although the navy locker room shirt does look nice).

 

FTR, and off the subject, the next time one of my teams wins a title (knock on wood), I'm going to buy everything I can. Hats, t-shirts, DVDs, sweatshirts, everything.

 

I'll be doing the same thing as well.

 

I don't like any paraphernalia outside the basic Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, etc, with the lone exception of the actual championship stuff. I cannot understand why anybody would buy an NFC North Champion hat or t-shirt, or NL wild card winner. It's completely silly to me to see somebody wearing something that basically says, "yeah, we qualified for the playoffs but didn't do so well in the playoffs but still we qualified for the playoffs and I'm really pumped about that".

So I take it you're selling your "Cubs 2003 playoffs" stuff then?

A really nice article about the Saints homecoming yesterday.

That's cool. I figured there would be a celebration of what the Saints have accomplished. They still made a lot of people happy this year.

If you know this person, please kick their ass. If you are this person, have someone take all your belongings and destroy them, and have someone tear your house to the ground making you homeless, and then see how it feels.

There always one insensitive prick who has to take it too far...

 

I don't know anyone who felt that way, so this is just one idiot.

There's one of those in every crowd. Amazing he's still standing upright. I hope someone eventually kicked his butt.

Hell, we had two posters on this message board who said similar things, one of which said the EXACT same thing that poster said.

 

That said, I certainly hope that posters like that weren't allowed into the stadium.

While it's completely tasteless, I don't think it should be taken literally. That's all part of what happens when we accept things like taunting, trash talk, smack and all that junk in sports. A lack of respect for the opponent is evident on the field and in the stands, and has been for a while.

I saw a picture of that exact poster on Deadspin yesterday, and it was hanging in the stadium. I'm guessing the guy hid it from the people of authority.

That sign has nothing to do with lack of respect for the opponent. It's not like his sign says "The Saints are bad at football." And I hope someone found this guy in the parking lot and "had a few words" with him.

And it was addressed and handled in that thread was it not?

[BigbadB]

The wife just told me that photo was shown on Keith Olberman's Countdown as yesterday's "worst person in the world".

I didn't see it. I'm not a mod but I definitely would have called it out. I admit I was moving between the room where my TV is and my computer room alot on Sunday.
