So if hockey is for pussies, what do you think about soccer?

Real men play ping pong.

any fool can be a hockey goalie but it takes real balls to be a goalie in Jarts

The Leafs are completely clueless, when it comes to salary cap economics. They spend most of their money on injury prone, high priced older players, then spend cheaply on half a roster of average players.

The problem is the ownership, and the fan base. If the Leafs lost every game in the season, the ACC would still be sold out. The MLSE consortium is led by the nose by a pension fund, that wants to earn a specific return on investment. They aren't concerned with winning championships.

To win in Sports, you need to have a primary owner who wants to own a winning team, even if he loses money to do so. The prototype is Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. He made billions in the first dot com He sold Broadcast.com in 1999 for 5.7 Billion dollars worth of Yahoo! Stock.

If he made 3% interest on 5.7 Billion dollars each year, that would be $171 Million.

Unfortunately, the ownership has no interest in selling the team. It's a cash cow. They would rather fight for the 8th seed, and a possibility of three home playoff dates, than tank a few seasons in a row, to get some young, cheap talent.

I lived in Montreal in the 70's, when it was a forgone conclusion that they would win the Stanley Cup every year. The attitude in Montreal was "Wake me up for the finals", and when they did win, it was "Pfft. It took them six games, and what about that game where they were trailing after two periods?".

I don't watch hockey anymore. If they wanted to improve the game, the first thing to do would be to ban the curved stick. You can't stick handle, or backhand the puck, with a curved stick. Any hit from behind, if a player doesn't have the puck, should be a five minute major, and a ten minute misconduct. Any player who has the puck, however, and doesn't have his head up, deserves whatever he gets.

It's a tough game, but hockey is for pussies, compared to a 'real man's' sport, like Hurling, Aussie Rules Football, or Test Cricket. A Test match in Cricket can last 37½ hours, over five consecutive days.

I completely agree with you and we need new ownership with the Toronto Maple Leafs. They keep firing the coach, next will be the general manager but the problem is the ownership. It's time for big changes and if they do anything right they should lose every game from now until the end of the season so at least they can have the number one draft pick. Then break up the entire team and rebuild!

Bito, will the Raptors kick ass in the playoffs?

New ownership has not helped the Sabres at all.

Some teams just always seem to find a way to lose.

The difference is the Sabres don't have deep pockets like the Leafs. A big problem the Leafs face is their opponents are always jacked to face the Leafs because many come from nearby and were raised watching the blue and white.

We need a hockey mind running the team and a coach like Babcock but we need to give him a team he could actually win with.

you kidding me?
The Sabres owner just bought the Buffalo Bills for over a Billion in cash.

Bob, it seems your thread is still alive, you must be proud?

I think it's boring. When a highlight of the game is a guy kicking a ball wide of the net, it's a pretty boring game. I don't like the idea of the penalty time at the end, so only the guy with the whistle knows when the game is over. The guys who act like their dying when someone kicks them in the shins just disgust me. Why don't they just wear shin pads under the knee socks? It's not rocket surgery, for shit's sake.

"rocket surgery", to my knowledge, was a term coined by rubmeister100 on the red board, in the 'mix 'n' match' thread. My contribution was:

"Every time you masturbate, and angel gets his wings.
Every time a bell rings, you drive another nail in Jesus' heart".

It was a good thread, until it was hijacked by the punsters. That's all salt under the bridge now.

They have a chance to win two rounds. Atlanta has a great record, but I don't know who plays for Atlanta, and neither does anyone in Atlanta.

People in Atlanta, however, do know the shoe size of the Georgia Tech water boy.

I wish those fuckheads from the pork room would take a hint. Even my home thread isn't home anymore. It never really was. Even on my first day here, they had already colonized. Someone should have taught them some manners, while they were young enough to change.

You're a good guy, Jessie James, but there aren't enough like you, and there are too many like them. There are better ways for me to waste time.

I'll probably post less, and flirt more by private message. There's not much for me to read in the general area. My stories about this place are very popular on the 'dark net fonts forum'. Over there, there's a TV thread that's stayed on topic for four and a half years.

This place is like a soap opera to them, a whole bunch of selfish people, and a few who came here, by mistake, and couldn't find their way back out, like when Agent Cooper got stuck in the Black Lodge in the last episode of Twin Peaks. He's still there, too, we saw that in the dream sequence from episode three.

No, I'm not proud. Pride is for non heterosexuals.

You really are too dense, aren't you? This isn't YOUR thread. You don't own it or dictate who can post, or what can be posted. This is an open discussion board and if you did even a slight amount of reading, you'd see everyone on the board intereacts with all the threads.

Don't like it? Leave! Start your own board. Go to the dark net.

As for "fuckheads", do you really think that name calling has any effect on people here, you asswipe?

One last question before you go. Would the definition of hypocrisy be, complaining about an action, and then turning around and engaging in that very same action?

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]

When a woman says she wants you to do her doggie style, Prick, what she's really telling you is that she finds you facially unattractive. If all women are telling you that, then it's unanimous.

Sorry, pal, but you walked right in to that one.

Prick's statement that I quoted was not a question to scarlettmae. I was joking with a friend. It was no concern of yours.

 

[Transient]

Hmm, looks like a question, that is if you quote the entire post.

Hi Scarlett, what is your favorite position besides doggie (All women like doggie as far as have been told).

 

[Transient]

My reason for pointing this out bobistheowl, is not to catch you. You are right, it is no concern of mine. Other than to show that responses such as yours in Scarlett's thread, are natural, human and a part of the silliness that transpires in The Lounge. It's ok to jump in to interject something you find would be a humorous read.

Alas, BITI is seldom humorous. More like a spoiled brat.

Now that BITI has realized he can't mould this board into what he thinks it should be, he's going to try and insult everyone here, pretend to take the high ground, and run off with his tail between his legs. A true Hypocrit.

Page one of this thread:

Bob, how do I pick up ladies half my age??

Bob, if I may field this one?

Be confident, just walk up to the next 45 year old woman you find attractive and ask her for a date.

Whatever would possess you to think it was alright for you to answer a question, directed to me, in Ask bobistheowl!, while I was asleep?

What the fuck is wrong with you, Transient? You hadn't even introduced yourself, and you steal off my goddamned plate. Never once did you apologize for your actions, you just made lame excuses. Just because most of your friends are equally rude, does not excuse your behavior. You know it, you just don't have the balls to admit it.

My apologies sir. I am only joking around and did not mean to upset you. I get silly at times and did not mean to get so carried away.
I enjoy the thread very much and I shall cease.

Wise advice Maurice, I shall abide. [/COLOR]

Loveless vs. my answer Lovelace.

Wow, your apology and your word "I shall abide" lasted almost three fucking days. A two year old could do better. You lying sack of shit passive aggressive cocksucker.

You post information that you received from papasmerf by private message, after being told six times not to answer that question again, and you call that joking around? I didn't know you, and after that, I didn't want to. You've done nothing since to cause me to alter my opinion. I'm retiring from The Lobby today so I don't have to deal with shitstains like yourself anymore.

You finally made my Ignore list.
