San Antonio by a saint: Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of things lost –items, articles and four games this series.
That was pretty clever. False, but clever nonetheless.
Some cheap jabs in here, but looks like they make fun of themselves, too...

New rivals?
Forget the Alamo. San Antonio's got nothing on us.

The NBA Finals start Thursday, plenty of time to bone up on San Antonio and its basketball team.
How does our new rival compare with our city? San Antonio is growing, with a strong economy and lots of jobs – right where our politicians promise us Cleveland will be. Some day.
Both cities are packed with things to do, places to see and interesting history. Cleveland was founded by a surveyor; San Antonio by a saint: Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of things lost –items, articles and four games this series.
How the two cities stack up:
San Antonio: Famous River Walk is glamorized muddy water.
Cleveland: Famous Rock Hall immortalized Muddy Waters.
SA: State was home of LBJ, former president.
Cleve: State is home of LBJ, current king.
SA: Hometown of the politician who won't go away: Alberto Gonzalez.
Cleve: Hometown of the politician who won't go away: Dennis Kucinich.
SA: Mud Festival every January.
Cleve: Election Day every November.
SA: Citizens know two languages: English and Spanish.
Cleve: Citizens know two languages: English and whatever it is that Mike Trivisonno speaks.
SA: Home to one major-league sports team.
Cleve: Home to two major-league sports teams. And the Browns.
SA: Home of the world's only toilet seat museum.
Cleve: Home of King James' throne.
SA: Signature food, Tex-Mex, requires an hour in the bathroom.
Cleve: Signature food, the pierogi, requires an hour on the treadmill.
SA: Place where Davy Crockett, in coonskin cap, was killed.
Cleve: Place where James Traficant, in coonskin toupee, was convicted.
SA: Boasts the world's largest pair of cowboy boots.
Cleve: Boasts the world's largest rubber stamp.
SA: Spurs guard Tony Parker known for his girlfriend, Eva Longoria.
Cleve: Cavs guard Daniel Gibson known for his nickname, “Boobie.”
SA: Home of the Alamo.
Cleve: Home of a lotta mo'.

Don't know if anybody posted Gaylon Krizak's rather weak version of this hackneyed article, so I'll just post the link:

I thought it was pretty funny. Nothing wrong with some good-natured jabs.
Just in case anyone else was wondering...I know I was.SA: Citizens know two languages: English and Spanish.

We have a toilet seat musuem?
You guys must be really scared. This insult nobody, just made a simple article to get some laughs, and u guys are going crazy about it. I think cleveland fans has gotten into the spurs fans head. Now its time for the cavs to do the same.
We're going crazy about it?
You don't get out much, do you?
yes because all Spurs fans think alike.You guys must be really scared. This insult nobody, just made a simple article to get some laughs, and u guys are going crazy about it. I think cleveland fans has gotten into the spurs fans head. Now its time for the cavs to do the same
which is probably why I posted what I did 3 posts above yours.
Jeez...next time wear your helmet before you post.
No, that's the San Antonio inferiority complex. San Antonio has spent decades as the red-headed stepchild compared to Dallas and Houston, and now Austin, and its people are sensitive to any perceived slights against the city. It has nothing to do with basketball.
???????????????????????
So wheres the toilet museum?
One post about the guy being an idiot (only post trashing the article) and now it's an inferiority complex?
No one got insulted by that article.
However, it's only natural whenever someone does insult or trash your city that you defend it, esp, when it seems from a lame bias hatred or ignorance. I have friends in the Bay Area (San Fran side) who said the city got worked up over Barkey's comments from a few weeks ago. It's only natural.
To a point I agree. A lot of people feel that way. Although Stout has always hated San Antonio so he is a little biased. I never felt that way and neither do several people I know and grew up with. It does exist however.No, that's the San Antonio inferiority complex.

Going crazy over it? Inferiority complex?
Did I miss something?
I don't hate San Antonio; I get irritated with the inferiority complex because it is self-fulfilling.
Dude...you have slammed SA since you started posting here.
Although I would agree with you about the inferiority complex. I refuse to listen to people when they talk that way. I have always been the kind of person to make the best of where I am. Sadly, some people just find it easier to and moan about what they don't have which always pisses me off.
wow
Just for the record, I've never been to Cleveland, but I've been to several towns in Ohio (Cinncinnati, Columbus, Canton, Toledo, etc...) and I happen to like Ohio. It's a beautiful state.
Thought I'd throw that out there before this devolves into a your town sucks flame war...
Im sure the weak city smack will be flowing soon enough.Thought I'd throw that out there before this devolves into a your town sucks flame war...
Remember the good old days when people just talked about basketball.
Slamming SA always gets a response.Dude...you have slammed SA since you started posting here.
