Sports Guy (ESPN.com) Needs an EPL Team

I guess that could be true but what about when a team from the relegation fight beats a team like, say, Chelscum. You can't explain in words how much that meant to so many FFC fans, even us who were stateside just cried with joy...NJGlen cried, he told me!

 

I used to respect SG. Now, I see that's he's just another big front-running phony. I have red him for a few years and I can see the evolution from regular sports fan to full-of-himself egomanic, and this just clinches it.

He didn't have to pick us, but he should have given us some serious consideration. I wish he's had the guts to say right off that he was only interested in a top team. I had thought about reading his book, but now, I have as much interest in that as he has in Fulham.

 

Sports Guy

This is a great point. Sometimes takes a little while to figure out exactly who you like and why. I'm betting he ends up a Pooly.

I am watching the Tottenham/Charlton match from October 2005 while I type this, and Tottenham has capped a tremendous comeback with Keane's goal to put them up 3-2. But the Spurs strike me as one of those teams you are "born in to" as the Sports Guy put it, so I don't see any respectable fan giving him much credit. And the fact that he thinks Davids wearing goggles is cool is exactly the opposite to me.

Whatever. He'll have to sort it out himself.

 

Heather, this is no disrespect for you... how could you know, in fact.

But I'm glad to see that I wasnt the only one who sees the guy as a nitwit.

Here's a hint: If some sportswriter starts inserting too much pop-culture/entertainment news, he's a poser ... or he's looking for a replacement slot on a morning sportstalk show. There's a very fine line between that and Pro Rasslin' commentary.

If he was a REAL sport nut, he would have picked Reading. They are the best small club to follow {other than Fulham, of course} if you want to pick a 'sleeper' or long shot.

 

I didnt know... until I read on. And I quoted myself so you wouldnt have to page back.

But you cant quite AVOID Jim Rome... he's like watching an airliner without any flight controls trying to land at Sioux City Airport.

You know what's going to happen, but...
