Ban any and all references to Barry Bonds on this website.

 

Let everybody get their fill through the weekend, then, starting Monday, lock all threads discussing him and/or the record. Use the word censor ban his name and threaten banishment from the site for anybody who talks about him and/or the record.

WHY?

Baseball Discussions exists for a reason.

[anabiono]

are you being serious?

[soapy]

I'll be happy if we just banish the term "Barroids".

Yeah, to talk about baseball, not this ridiculously overplayed soap opera.

[anabiono]

Sure, but it would be more fun to ban the stupid talk anyway.

 

 

The media is fretting over this story a hell of a lot more than the man on the street. I know it's not dominating NSBB or anything, but when I can't turn on espn radio for some good bathroom time radio without hearing mike greenberg whine on and on about this story, I get pissed.

 

I was hoping like hell it would die down after the HR, but it's just gotten bigger and bigger and doesn't deserve the attention.

[anabiono]

i understand, but it is ESPN we are talking about here...

 

over the past year, ESPN has gone from moderately tolerable to just completely annoying to me...

[Banedon]

How about I add the word "Murton" to the word filter and have it change to "Barry Bonds" every time it's typed?

Better, let's banish the word "Barry" and filter it to "Barroids".

barroid(s) is one of the worst nicknames i've seen in a while. i find it funny that so many of you take what he did personably. it's like he ran over half of NSBB's dogs or something.

how is a relevant pun-nickname not funny, but peoples' reactions to a sporting event are? Humor is so hard to define. It's... funny like that.

meh, i was just picking on you. nicknames are rarely all that clever -- usually some play on aliteration, adding a "y" to the player's name or simply shortening it to one syllable. As a nickname, I think "Barroid" only bothers people who like to argue the "innocent til proven guilty!!" Just an impression of mine.

 

IOW, I don't see why it's all that bad, it lends a rarely seen level of cleverness to the bland nickname game. But they are just nicknames, so it really doesn't matter :)

[sandberg23]

IOW

 

What does IOW mean???
