lol and one more
that's disturbingly funny.
it's so funny to see the biggest bandwagon fan come in here and try to talk ... ironically about other bandwagon fans.
you're a piece of no matter what "respect" or "props" you get from the other bags here on st that back you and your bs up.
not even good bud could make myself or josh howard crack a smile at any of the bs you post here. self proclaimed piece of wannabe comedian.
Wait, He proclaims himself to be a "piece of wannabe comedian"? Kinda doubt that level of self-deprecation from him (even though a Mavs fan has to beat him/herself up quite a bit for their thankless support). If that statement is true however, it sounds like he's a little hard on himself. Maybe, he deserves a break. Sure his comment wasn't funny, but no reason to out-right proclaim himself a "piece of ".

San Antonio has gained the unenviable position of being the community in the United States with the greatest percentage of obese adults, according to new federal statistics.
In 2001, the most recent year for which national data are available, 31.1 percent of adults in San Antonio were considered obese. Gary, Ind., had the second-highest obesity rate — 28.8 percent.
San Antonio's ranking comes as the numbers of Americans who are overweight and obese are hitting all-time highs. In 2001, 21 percent of U.S. adults were obese and 37.2 percent were overweight, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"It's alarming," said Ali Mokdad, chief of the CDC's behavioral surveillance branch.
Public-health experts have become increasingly alarmed by the number of Americans who are overweight or obese — a number that has been rising steadily over the past decade.
The problem affects every part of the country, but tends to be especially severe in the South.
"This is something that's obviously a concern," said Fernando Guerra, director of the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District. "It is a major public-health challenge."
In addition to having the highest rate of obesity, San Antonio also had a high rate of people who are overweight — 65 percent of the city's adults were considered overweight in 2001, second only to Charleston, W.Va., where 67.8 percent of adults were overweight.
Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of at least 30. Overweight is defined as having a BMI of 25. BMI is a formula in which a person's body weight in kilograms is divided by the square of his or her height in meters. Using American units of measurement, an adult who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds would have a BMI of 25.
Guerra attributed the high rates of obese and overweight people to the same factors fueling the obesity epidemic nationwide — too much junk food, too much television, not enough exercise.
In San Antonio, that is compounded by the city's increasing population of Hispanics, who tend to be particularly prone to weight problems for cultural, socioeconomic and possibly genetic reasons, Guerra said.
The new data come from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, an ongoing national survey of risk factors for disease compiled annually by the CDC.
Spurs fans:
So, does that mean we can slam on the suicide rate in Seattle? And put up pictures of people that have blown their head's off? Why don't we keep it at least vaguely related to basketball, and keep the direct city bashing out of this forum? Huh, buddy? People know that they are fat here, most of my friends are fat. Y'know why? The food is delicious here and we eat a lot of it. And we also drink prolly well over what is good for us. So fine, call us out for being fat party animals, sucks for us. However, you can rest assured that we are in shape where it should concern the NBA...the Spurs.Worthy of a repost:

Here are some of the reasons residents of America's fattest cities are testing the limits of their belts:
1. Las Vegas. Poor eating habits and an alarmingly sedentary population kept Sin City atop the gluttony charts.
2. Arlington, Texas. Commute times have increased almost a half-hour in the past five years, and the percentage of overweight people skyrocketed in the past year from 36.5% to 43.2%.
3. San Antonio. Parks are scarce in the city, and people are more likely to get their kicks from binge drinking. In a survey, more than 20% of San Antonians acknowledged having five or more drinks in one sitting within the past month, higher than the national average of 14.7%
4. Fort Worth. People are just less likely to go out and exercise compared with those in other cities. It probably has something to do with the fact temperatures top 90 degrees an average of 101 days each year.
5. El Paso. A relatively low number of golf courses, gyms and tennis courts makes it hard to find a place to get fit. And again, the Texas heat is too much to handle.
two "Dallas" cities made the list.
Be my guest, I could care less if you bash the Emerald City
I'm just pointing out that Spurs fans enjoy Tex Mex...way too much.Huh, buddy? People know that they are fat here, most of my friends are fat. Y'know why? The food is delicious here and we eat a lot of it. And we also drink prolly well over what is good for us. So fine, call us out for being fat party animals, sucks for us. However, you can rest assured that we are in shape where it should concern the NBA...the Spurs.
So to sum up...San Antonions are fat, lazy drunks, whereas those in DFW are too busy working and stuck in super commutes to exercise.That article was written in '03. How 'bout a recent one:
