Not surprised to see mr. denver/atlanta chime in. Who said anything about picking a team in the same state you grew up in?

Cue other bandwagoners chiming in to the tune of "OMG why are you concerned about who we root for?!?"

Thats what you and COA say non stop. Pretty much if you grow up in Ohio you expect everyone to be Cavs and Browns/Bengals fans. And lol i personally dont care about the opinons of someone idk about my teams. Just find it funny how much you guys bitch about it

Actually, I have never said anything about picking a team in your state. Nice try putting words in my mouth. I can't speak for COA, but I believe its pathetic if you have no connection to the team, and you just pick a good team.

Also lol at saying you don't care, yet every time this topic comes up, you are sure to come along and provide your remarks.

Must of been COA when he did that bandwagon thing in the basement then, thought you were in on that, guess not. But Yeah , my teams are obviously powerhouses, all 0 titles between the 2 of them proves this haha.

Its a chat forum, kinda the whole point is to post and discuss something thats brought up. Could be mistaken however

Never said anything about titles either. Nice spin though. Anything else you want to say to save face? Nice to see you are insecure about rooting for two teams in two different states.

Also GTFO, with trying to put this discussion on me. Skyhook is the idiot who tried to claim Cleveland fans are bandwagon fans, meanwhile he his a bandwagon fan of a franchise that consists of mainly bandwagon fans.

Changing the subject by talking about something you JUST said in your post. Are you really that dense?


I guess caring who other people root for is how you pass the time being a fan of 2 franchises in horrible shape however

You of all people should know I'm not a bandwagon fan. I repped LA through the Smush Parker era. I've loved that team since the days of Vlade and Elden Campbell.

The subject/discussion was about being a bandwagon fan. You selectively choosing to focus on two words out of my post is changing the subject. I don't expect you to understand that though.

Actually we were all done talking about bandwagonism, until mr. insecure had to bring it back up again. That was all on you, nice fail.

SMH, let me break it down for you, and hopefully you can understand.

Pick came out with this post around 9:16:
Pick6;865774 wrote:how did "tanking" work out for them? LOLfail

Then I responded to him regarding his post, which had nothing to do with bandwagonism.
like_that;865776 wrote:The sports gods are always watching. They actually didn't deliberately tank though. Once Kevin Love was out for the last 20+ games, they just fell apart.

Then S&L chimes in about Pick's comment. Again, nothing about bandwagonism.
SportsAndLady;865818 wrote:How is he "failing"?

He said the Cavs would have had the worst record (they did, for most of the season btw) if Minnesota didn't tank...which they clearly did losing something like 18 of their last 20 games, and who can really blame them?
Then of course mr. idiot insecure comes in an hour later and brings the topic back up again, when the thread was going into a different direction...
Hb31187;865862 wrote:lol the topic of "you have to grow up in the same state as your favorite team" has been beaten like a dead horse since this board began

And yes, i called it by saying youd spin it by replying about time. You're pretty predictable.

Bottom line is 5 posts seperate your post about bandwagoning and my post, spin it however you want lol

Yeah, nice edit. Once again you selectively focus on one part of my post lol. And I am spinning it? I gave you three posts in a row that were going into a different direction. You can subtract my "time" statement out of my argument, and you still are wrong. Anything else you want to grasp for?
