Damn Skippy, take a joke!
Personally, I don't know if you cried or not.
Don't really care either.

Well its not like I could tell from your facial expressions and tone of voice...
If it was a joke, then I didn't get it, sorry.
Yeah, Spurstalk is pretty damn cool.
Rich man, poor man,
Beggar man, thief.
Doctor, lawyer,
Indian chief!
Oh yeah, the guy that works at Tinka Taco,
what do these people have in common - they all love the Spurs,
and bleed black & silver.
Love the Spurs, love Spurstalk.
Being from Chicago, it's rough, and rare to even see them on TV.
To answer the earlier debate, it could actually be argued that emotional investment in sports is a healthy thing. It provides catharsis, as we tend to feel what the players are feeling, camaraderie, and allows us to focus on something which could alleviate stress or doubt about our lives in general.
I don't think there's anything wrong with being seriously concerned for Duncan. However, if you're a Spurs fan who slits his wrists a bit every time ".4" or "2006 West-Semi's" are mentioned, there might be a problem there. They did hurt. So bad. But they didn't fundamentally change my life.

No slit wrists here and no life changing epiphanys but I will tell you what, I have bled black and silver for a long long time, I think I was jr high back in 75 or so that I first heard of a team that San Antonio had (wasn't living in Texas then) called the Spurs and I have followed them since them.
I'm not likely to hurt myself or someone else when they are losing, but even during the regular season when they're doing badly I from time to time need to change the channel because my blood pressure goes through the roof and I have occasional chest pains. I now keep a blood pressure monitor handy. I've already had one heart attack and I fear another one like death itself (pun intended) I have to maintain a reasonable approach to being a fan and monitoring my health. I eat healthy and I exercise, I let my son run our business to relieve stress as much as possible, but sports in particular the Spurs, Cowboys and Longhorns are the teams and some of the things that I'm passionate about.
Thank you. Well said.
Duncan, and the Spurs, are a stress reliever for me. For a couple of hours every game I can disappear into a world I love.
Do I like it when they lose? No. But it's not life altering.
Was I upset when Duncan went down? Yes, but again, it's not life altering.
I didn't lose any sleep over it, like some may think, but I was worried about Tim Duncan when he fell and and waiting to hear about his MRI. I was constantly checking this website and watching the local news to hear updates. Obviously I need counseling.
duncan228, it's good you are here in the family, too! You add a real positive ingredient to the mix.
Thanks Solid.
It feels like home here.
I feel very comfortable here, too. I've been on other boards and this one is so superior it isn't even a contest. But like any family - though at times I think we can be very dysfunctional - there will always be a difference in opinions. And that's a good thing. But like the songs says "different strokes for different folks".
This place rocks!
