I saw that one too. I wanted to reply to it, but I didn't want to get into a pissing contest with him. I've noticed that lately he's been adding "imo" to his post to try to cover some of his idiotic crap.
I'm on vacation so I'm not going over to raider and ruin my good time. I'll be good and rested and ready to torment those goof balls in the kiddie pool when I return.
 
And I'm pretty sure we held interest in a number of the other OADs too.

Wow, gary and chapelheeled are setting a new standard for stupid, smug and arrogant. Is the term 'reason' lost on these people?


Oh gosh yes. John Wall, Anthony Randolph, Kevin Love and several other OAD players have been on our radar. But as far as offering, I think we've named pretty much all of those.

I go to Raider about once every couple of weeks these days. I don't pay any attention to those that try to run that board and I don't go looking for trouble. But if they come at me, they'll leave with their tail between their legs.
 
Well, let me chime in.

Count me as one that feels Ali is a bit overrated. Granted, I didn't get to watch him fight in his prime other than replays of old fights and whatnot. But I think his legend is slightly exaggerated because of his social influence. Blacks needed a voice in those days and the mouthy Ali was happy to oblige. I personally think he could have been the beacon he was without calling white people "the blue-eyed devil" and regurgitating that anti-white rhetoric that Louis Farrakhan fed to him. Thankfully, he softened as he grew older and backtracked on some of his more angry and divisive sentiments. Had he not, I don't think he would be quite as beloved today as he is. I also think his Parkinsons disease helped his image as well. People felt sorry for Ali - even those that opposed his stances.

But I also respect Ali for the way he changed the way sports were covered. Ali was the first athlete to have something to say other than the typical coach/player talking points. He transcended sports. He became someone that journalists and reporters wanted to cover and it had next to nothing to do with sports. He was lively and entertaining. He loved to be in front of the camera and more times than not, he delivered in the appropriate way.

And he was a great fighter. I'm just not sure he was a good enough fighter to be considered the 20th century's greatest athlete. I don't think true boxing historians would say he's even the best fighter of the 20th century. In other words, I think Mike was a better basketball player than Ali was a fighter. I think Ruth was a better baseball player than Ali was a fighter. I think Jim Thorpe was maybe the best athlete that ever lived.

R.I.P.
Jmo but before the three year layoff I thought he was the best fighter that I ever saw. After he came back he was not anywhere near that level.Agree with your other points

I hate myself, so I just read that entire thread from start to finish.

I made one poast which should go over like a fart in church.
I really can't name one thing funnier than a fart in church , well as long as it wasn't my fart. I don't care how old you are that is still funny.

Look 34- we take care of our own here on OOTB, even if that means venturing over into the asylum.

That being said, we cannot tolerate one of our own going over to the dook board to air dirty laundry, regardless of the fact that the laundry is full of soiled diapers taken from a lactose intolerant baby who just had the cheese dip at a local mexican restaurant with a sanitation grade of B.

Quit telling the idiots on DI how stupid Raider is. Thats why this thread exists. If you continue the penalties will be severe- just ask 0910

Alright I understand. Any time I go over there it will be purely to mock them, subtley of course. Besides I hate most of those assholes anyway. I was just angry at the time. Won't happen again.

Don't give in, say whatever you want over there. Free speech goes beyond this board. Fight the power!
 
I'm done with that ****ing board anyway. So many uptight, self righteous douche bags. It's like being at a Goldman Sachs meeting.

I had enough when I saw all the Dean and Roy insults.

Exactly. Those needledicks are happy to give you a forum to trash Radar but also are happy to spew all sorts of lies about Carolina.

Actually, they are all pretty similar to Gary and Bold Font, school of choice notwithstanding.

I do admit, some of them I could have a conversation with. They're not all pretentious pricks. But it's not worth my time to try and make nice with the ones that are reasonable.

And to all OOTB members, I'm sorry I caused so much chaos on radar, but I wasn't about to back down from gary or chapelheeled. I thought it would be beneficial if someone stood up to them.
 
@carolinablue34, I encourage you not to give up on Radar but spend some time here when you need a sanity check. You'll find that despite our disagreements -- and there are plenty -- as a general rule everyone on OOTB is allowed to voice their opinion no matter how batshit crazy it is. When the dust settles, we all still generally respect one another regardless. Except for @gunslingerdick and @strummingram. I don't know what the problem is with those two fagg0ts but I don't want to get involved. (I keed, I keed!)

There's only one rule here on OOTB. You need an avatar. That goes for you, too, @HeelFan58. House rules. We're all too old an senile to keep everyone straight without pretty pictures.

Thanks RH. No I won't give up on Radar, I enjoy talking about Carolina bball too much not to frankly. And man am I anxious/eager to see us get a strong 2017 class. The last few years have been such a let down (with the exception of 2014) I really want to see us grab someone highly ranked, but I ain't getting my hopes up after past experiences.

The general rule you have is one I gladly follow. I'm a strong proponent of the Voltaire phrase "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it." I have opinions, but I do my best to respect everyone else's (although really pushed me as far as tolerating stupid people haha).

Edit: Nvm I got it. Hope you guys like Bender

Man did you guys get after it over there or what? Doing yeomans work! I said I was going to wait until after my vacation to catch up on raider. Boy am I glad I didn't. There are so many good parts but the best has to be "contrary gary" pissing down his leg and begging for a mod to step in and clean him up.
