True but like Luke said this world isn't ready for a young phenom going into the draft gay. It will hurt his stock and endorsements.

Sad but true. I will assume by mid career he will go the route of Ricky Martin and people won't care as they knew anyway.

I dunno...I feel like it'd at least clear his name if he actually did come out. I feel like that would be better press for him especially in current times where people are finally fighting and winning battles for gay marriage etc. I think that'd be a great win for the NFL as well.

I'm not so dumb as to ignore the fact that GMs and coaches would worry though about having a gay guy in their locker rooms and what that would entail for the rest of the players on the team...

 

[Wellington]

Just the thought of being a national star at a school like Notre Dame and clinging on to this hokey girlfriend who he had never met while (I'm sure) girls were basically willing to do anything to hook up with the guy is ridiculous. Let's cut the shit so we can all move on from these chintzy stories.

 

[eznark]

I don't think the "dude is gay" and "dude was duped" are mutually exclusive. Seemed like a convenient excuse for him to cover it up. It's not like "who is XXX draft pick dating" has ever been a big deal for college players. There was no need for it.

Guy was conned, guy was embarrassed, guy was dumb as fuuuuuck. That Tuiassoppo kid had pulled this same scam on other people.

Eh, it'll all come out sooner than later.

Have you guys looked at the twitter timeline of tangentially related people sending taunting tweets to T'eo all year long? People who were friends of the guy making the calls? Sure seems like they all thought it was the funniest shit ever and were making fun of T'eo.

 

[Splat]

While everyone is giving me shit for trading a 1st from this upcoming draft for a 2nd last year, the back to back 2nds I had netted me my leading WR and a CB w/ 6 ints (3 for TDs), who is a candidate for DROY. Get off my nuts!

If you're gonna give shit, make fun of Olajuwaun Smith, he's a total waste of space

 

[Smokey]

My fiance and I did the long distance thing for a few years. I saw her multiple times a year during this period. This was before Skype and on the cusp of Facebook. I find it very hard to believe that they never saw each other or anything in this day and age.. Add to the fact that dude said he was in love with Te'o and yeah.. Dude is gay and getting paid off by somebody.

 

[Birdman02]

What time you home again? I forget. I won't be available to play till about 10 eastern more than likely.

10 est would be about as early as I can play anyway. Anytime after that is fine.

 

[ph33nix]

Settle down, little one. The big boys are talking.



Almost isnt good enough!

You can't call yourself a big boy if you have a hard time dealing with the midget Heat

 

[CB3]

You winning every 1/10 times isnt really having a hard time.

 

[ph33nix]

You winning every 1/10 times isnt really having a hard time.

does winning mean losing in california

YES it does with the lakers fans thinking they are 3-0 when they are still indeed 20-25

 

[ph33nix]

also since I went to arts school in austin and nyc, I have a pretty good gaydar, Teo is pretty high up there

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

What's it like to be a fan of a team with Pau, Dwight, Nash, and Kobe when they're 20-25?

The number SIXTEEN dries my tears.

Id encourage you to post the things handing in the arena the Heat play at but i know what Michael Jordan's jersey looks like already.

 

[ph33nix]

ahhhhh yess the classic lakers fan fallback. when all else fails point to history made when not even alive

 

[CB3]

I was still alive for more than double of what the Heat have?

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

That shit is tucked away in a corner. And I'm glad no moron on the Heat wears 23.

 

[BigAT]

2K trash talk is on a level of awful normally reserved for Bob Blog.

The history of the Miami Heat right there

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

13 isn't retired. It's just there for some reason.

 

[Sokantish]

I feel like it's always that way. Plus Pheenix and CB just seem like especially mean people!

 

[LiveWire]

Lol why the hell do the Heat have Jordan's jersey hanging? I don't follow NBA but I sure as hell don't ever remember Jordan playing for them?

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

You don't question Pat Riley, that's why.

On April 12, 2003, the Miami Heat retired his jersey, hanging it from the arena's rafters. As the Heat unveiled the half-Chicago Bulls, half-Wizards jersey, Riley said no Heat player will wear the number again.

"In honor of your greatness and for all you've done for the game of basketball - and not just the NBA, but for all the fans around the world - we want to honor you tonight and hang your jersey, No. 23, from the rafters," Riley said at midcourt. "No one will ever wear No. 23 for the Miami Heat. You're the best."

So weird they retire that before they even retire Hardaway. Thanks for posting the updated one CB, the half wizards one was so awful looking.

 

[mastershake]

Mastershake, when's the earliest you can play today?

Bout to head to the gym... Should be back by 5cst and I'll be free the rest of the night.

 

[Trasher]

It's like Gretzky.

Pheeknicks was great

When is SmokeyTV gonna be back up?!?!

 

[Smokey]

When is SmokeyTV gonna be back up?!?!

The station is currently undergoing construction but from what we understand it should be back soon

What soon means is anybody guess!

And by construction I mean a desk. Anybody have any suggestions? A large desk that can hold 3 monitors pc, 360 etc

 

[CB3]

Probably because Hardaway Is a homophobe. And best known as a member of the Warriors.

But they still end up retiring it. Just weird.

 

[LiveWire]

It's like Gretzky.

Ooooh, gotcha.

 

[Trasher]

Ooooh, gotcha.

Actually I have no idea haha.

I don't follow NBA all that much. Sport is trash.

 

[Mrbob]

10 est would be about as early as I can play anyway. Anytime after that is fine.

Possibly may work. When do we vance again? Got buttfucked by snow today and I'm going to have to deal with that garbage when I get home tonight. I might be too tired to play.

 

[Wellington]

Can you fucking guys play your games already, holy shit.

 

[Sokantish]

Eznark and I are going to play thursday night

We play after the vance booby boy.

 

[Mrbob]

We play after the vance booby boy.

Good luck.

 

[Ramirez]

Damn, looks like I'm missing the playoffs this season unless Splat really fucks up...

Story, I'll be around tonight to play after 10!

 

[Sokantish]

Beat him for all of us, Thrasher!

 

[Splat]

Don't underestimate my ability to fuck up!

 

[Mrbob]

So much eeyoreing going on.

I'm on a mission now since people were laughing at my Madden death when I was sitting at 1-4. I did not forget and I absolutely remember who was doing the smack talk.

 

[CB3]

I did not forget and I absolutely remember who was doing the smack talk.

 

[Sokantish]

Didn't forget AND you remember. How do you do it, Bob!?

 

[Mrbob]

Hahahaha, I agree my genius knows no bounds.

Also, EA smack talking the Wii U in their conference call:

Riticello basically saying Wii U isn't next-gen and won't be investing in it much.

Riccitiello says there is a sharp distinction between Wii U and the next consoles. What they call Gen 4 is still to come.

Guess the Wii U league is dead.

Edit: Medal of Honor franchise is finished too. Shelved. Don't know if anyone cares though.

 

[eznark]

EA is circling the drain too, they just haven't figured it out yet.

So much eeyoreing going on.

Remember when you missed the playoffs last year bitch?

Also, I'm currently downloading SoaDA. What are you up to? Texting while mopping is a fire-able offense at Hardees I hear.

 

[Mrbob]

I'm not high enough on the food chain yet to even get a mop.

Edit: Riccitiello is a big Valve fan:

Q: Valve introduced Steam Box at CES, uncertainty around Sony and Microsoft. Could Valve be a player?
A: John is "in the Gabe Newell fan club". He's a big fan of their content, Portal is his all time favourite. Having said that, Valve hasn't said much about their plans. Large scale success usually goes with multiple billions of investment in development, online relationships, retail, manufacturing, supply, etc... Based on what Valve has said so far, it could be a nice niche product for Valve fans. They need to reveal more about their plans.

AKA pllllllleeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeee don't work.

 

[Ramirez]

I'll pick up a WiiU when it's about a hundred bucks. The Wii was the most worthless piece of shit I ever purchased.

 

[rinse82]

So....we got Rudy Gay.

The guy with lower PER than DeRozan but getting paid double.

 

[eznark]

I once bought a 1973 VW Rabbit for $300. Diesel. That was probably the most useless thing I ever bought. I did drive it into a school though so that was funny.

 

[bluemax]

Those two guys were/are fucking. It's that simple.

Sad that T'eo lives in a world where this still isn't OK

A gay Mormon football player at a catholic school? Yeah he won't come out any time soon.
