A letter to Coach Pop - e-mailed to me

[FromWayDowntown]

I fell off my chair when I read this....


Pop
Duncan
Manu
Parker
Bowen
Horry

Everybody else....

^^^ Spurs pecking order for leadership...

edit: (and role importance)

Actually, I think Duncan is at the top of that list. If Timmy ever demanded that Pop go, I suspect Pop would be gone. Timmy wouldn't do that, luckily, but I don't think there's any doubt that Tim could run the show if he wished to.

Dear Mr. Popovich:

I really question your objectivity when it comes to chastising your players, and also assessing which player you should be building your team around. You have to be either prejudice or blind not to see that Manu is your best player, and you should be building your team around him and not Duncan. Furthermore, I have never seen you chastise that little jock Parker; he hardly ever passes the ball and especially to Manu. He is obviously jealous of Manu's charisma and great ability. If you intend to have a championship team again, then get on the ball and use Manu as the hub around which your team should revolve. Without Manu your team stinks! Just look at what happened on Christmas day against the Pistons. If you need some advice, I'll provide it free of charge.

thanks now there is water all over my computer

There's some weird individuals on these planets.........

Sorry, I don't know what came over me. I mean, we've nevereverver seen a post like that e-mail before, since the dawn of mankind. And we probably nevereverever will again, until the end of the universe.

I'm not denying there are wackjobs out there that write emails like this, but you called it a typical CoM post and you are off the mark there.

[Philo Beddoe]

I like Manu. A lot. And I'll throw fists with him if you kids put enough money in the pot.

[SenorSpur]

Very funny.

Last season I used to get these emails from one gentleman in Argentina every week. They were addressed to Pop but CC'd to me, Johnny Ludden and Buck Harvey. He was always saying to Pop, "Look here, Boy" and if Manu had a good game he'd say "Now you are learning, Boy". When the Spurs would win, he'd congratulate Pop for "using my advice" and if they'd lose he'd call him "too stubborn to not use my advice". When they won the Championship, the writer of the emails took all the credit. I wonder if he got a ring.

Sorta makes you believe that "Free Speech" should be costly to some.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Truth? That email doesn't reflect the majority opinion. Manu is an integral part of the team, but it's Timmy's team. I think the only truth here is that you hate Argentineans and Manu fans.

Amen

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I dont hate manu fans.

I dont hate argentinians.


Theres quite a few on here that are jerks such as Manumania and hendrix.


Your cool with me spurschick.

We are the jerks?? hahaha Thats rich! hipocrite!

[T Park]

Put me on ignore.

Do not respond to me again.

Yes someone who responds

"Are you talking to me you fat ?

Yes that cons utes jerk.

Respond to me like that again, and Well involve someone else.

THAT SIMPLE.

I think the discrepancy is in what you think a "Church of Manu" post is and what Shoogar Bear thinks it is.

Church of Manu is not a term to encompass all Argentineans or Manu fans. It's a term Shoogar Bear coined referencing the crazed, wack posters who think Manu does no wrong. A bunch of people jumped on board saying they belonged to the CoM thinking it was a good thing -- it's not. So when Shoogar compares this email to a CoM post, he's actually right on the money. You just think that CoM is something different than it is.

[spurschick]

You just think that CoM is something different than it is.

Then we will agree to disagree.

[SpursWoman]

When ShoogarBear came up "Church of Manu" ....it wasn't Church of Manu = Manu Fan Club by a long shot. It was Church of Manu = Myopic Manu Homers Who Would Eat His Feces If He Told Them To.

Maybe a few others misinterpreted it and went off in the wrong direction, but what he meant was pretty clear. Because he explained it.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

HAHAHA was that a threat you little ?? I insulted you because you insulted me, you don't like it, sue me, jackass! Next time when you feel like making stupid comments, perhaps you'll think again, and avoid this whole mess.

THAT SIMPLE!

I don't think I was around at that point, so I didn't realize that it had been defined as such. I am a Manu fan, but I obviously don't take it as seriously enough to be myopic and I subscribe to my version of the Church in fun. I guess you could call it the New Age Church as opposed to Manu Fundamentalist.

[SpursWoman]

Manu Fundamentalist.

Perfect!
