Yeesh, I guess reading comprehension eludes you. Actually, comprehension in general eludes you.![]()

Man I think James Taylor is incredibly boring, but you don't see me sitting outside of James Taylor concerts going "BOOOOOOORING."
Anakha.......youre embarrassing Spurs fans right now. Everyone else wants to say it, but they feel bad for you.
I got some more of Bill's best suff if youre interested!

I think that's a little subtle for d_s_f to understand. You might want to spell it out for him.![]()
No more an embarrassment than you are to actual logic users everywhere.![]()
No, that sounds like a job for da_peter_paul_and_mary_fan.
Here's where anakha claims "the point went right over your head", chumpdumper.
Quite possible.
d_s_f in a battle of comprehension and wit?
Exercise in futility.![]()
I was just giving Spurminator an opportunity to make his feelings known.
I certainly don't expect him to post there 1000 times. Only true fans would stick around that long and post that much.
If you are worried about a player being "unmarketable" you probably like in your ass.
Logic, da_suns_fan__ style.Who's debating NBA vs NFL? I said Peyton Manning vs. Tim Duncan.
Let's not kid ourselves, Duncan the person isn't half as great as Duncan the player. People say Kobe is aloof and might be correct to assume that, I believe Duncan is a lot worse than he is, just judging by what I've seen from the 2.
Or...they just cared about Jordan when - at the time - it looked like it would be his final basketball.
It also helps that 1998 was right before cable TV started scavenging the ratings of every network.
That people still use the Nielsens today to compare to shows back in the 80s and up to the late 90s makes about as much sense as comparing a P-51 to an F-15.
Duncan aloof?
I watch Duncan like a hawk, I have for years.
Aloof is not a word I would use for him.
If you pay any attention to him, both on and off the court (interviews, press conferences, etc.), you'll find Duncan warm, articulate, funny and quite approachable.
I've rarely seen him be curt with reporters, even when they cross a line with him.
The expected retort: Because Duncan prefers to live his personal life off court out of the spotlight, people assume he's boring, and now aloof.
Because he doesn't chest thump, or have a police record, people assume there's nothing there worth knowing. Or that he has an at ude.
Look closer.
For as much as you can "know" a pro athlete, or any public person living in a fishbowl, Duncan the person seems to me to be just as great as Duncan the player.
He's personally involved in his Foundation, gives his time as well as his money, to bereaved children, breast and prostrate cancer patients, and has a Character Program for school kids. I don't live in SA and I can see how involved he is in the community. (His Foundation also has programs where he grew up and where he went to college.)
What you see is what you get with Duncan. No pretenses, no showmanship.
Down to earth, "over himself" as Pop says.
Is that aloof?
Dumbass......what does cable have to do with the fact that the Bulls/Jazz out-drew the Bulls/Lakers? Neither were after your suppposed cable tv "epidemic". Although everyone I know had cable tv before 98.
My point was, AGAIN, the market sizes have absolutely no effect on the ratings. Smaller market teams have CONSISTENTLY outdrew their larger market counterparts.
Keep this up and you'll be getting the SOEF.
