I wills posts likes I wants to posts. AND if I think you are an idiot well that just means I am RIGHT...

See how that works.... Of course you do....

As a born-and-bred downstate NY kid brought up to be a Giants fan, I've never referred to LaDainian Tomlinson as "LT." Never will. He's a great player, but for a lot of folks (myself included), the only real "LT" is the guy currently in the HOF.

The fact that Risa supports the "Tomlinson = LT" side is enough for anyone with at least a double-digit IQ to take the opposite view.

You spent how many pages defending Darwin co-coining Survival of the Fittest, to Moving Sale, because you were common enough to mention Darwin's name instead of Spencer's in the first place -- but you're not open minded enough to allow the same fishhacks who christened Lawrence Taylor as 'LT' to also christen LaDainian Tomlinson as 'LT'? It's the fishhacks and fans who decide whether gloss will stick or slide. Perhaps a case in point: Ryan Leaf will always be 'Cryin'; not Junior Seau's 'Baby Boy' (affectionate version), and unfortunately not Turning, nor Nu, nor whatever gloss could have stuck with him had he won games -- as player or coach -- instead of being a bust.

The fishhacks want LaDainian to be LT. Not LT2. Not Dain. Not LD. Not La D, or something clever involving his position versus his name (that's too much work, or he's not that elite).

LT. We'll see.

The fact that Risa supports the "Tomlinson = LT" side is enough for anyone with at least a double-digit IQ to take the opposite view.

And I thought only the Greeks wished a father more glory than the son who comes after. Did you Italians steal that, too?

You dissed me for not reading you properly regarding your views on who is responsible for helping those who cannot help themselves. You even called me a Liar. Previous page, I stated that I am of the opinion that Lawrence Taylor is 'LT'...but he's 'LT' because I grew up with him being 'LT'. Times change.

Sometimes, it's ok to change with them, Mike. Survival of the Fittest.

Natural selection.

Let LaDainian prove himself as equal to, greater than or dust before the stats of Lawrence Taylor. Time will tell. And then someone else will come along.

[Goober McTuber]

Survival of the Fittest.

It’s kind of late in the game for you to finally figure out that it wasn’t “Survival of the Fattest”.

[Mike the Lab Rat]

...idiotic ramble regarding the other thread, in which the Tedious Slunt also knew and contributed nothing, snipped...

The fishhacks want LaDainian to be LT. Not LT2. Not Dain. Not LD. Not La D. Not D.

Do I honestly care about what a bunch of reporters decide to dub someone? Do I wander around using "Bennifer," "TomKat," "LiLo" in my vocabulary because a bunch of folks in an increasingly ignored profession decide to coin cutesie terms? No.

I'm originally from the NY Metro area, and to me -and a hell of a lot of folks from that area- the only REAL LT is the 10 Pro Bowl, 2 SB ring-wearing, Hall of Fame guy who played for the NY Giants.

The fact that my opinion seems to twist your circus-tent sized knickers just makes me cling to that opinion even more.

And I thought only the Greeks wished a father more glory than the son who comes after. Did you Italians steal that, too?

You seem obsessed with the whole Italian thing. Par for the course for a tedious, race-baiting waste of carbon. When all else fails, go for the "Culture A oppressed/stole from Culture B" riff, even if it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. Red herrings seem to be your thing. Also explains that smell...

Are you honestly trying to relate the biological concept of natural selection to whether or not I should refer to Tomlinson by another player's nickname?

My God, but you are so intellectually inept that calling you "retarded" would be a genuine insult to all the crayon-eating, paper-shoe wearing, institutionalized semicephalic bipeds of the world.

Keep on proudly representing the left-hand side of the intellectual bell curve with each post, you brainless twit.

Survival of the Fittest.

It’s kind of late in the game for you to finally figure out that it wasn’t “Survival of the Fattest”.

[Risa]

Please, Mike. You do care about what a 'bunch of reporters' decide to dub someone, because you're getting all het up about folks daring to call LaDainian by his initials, 'LT'. You care enough to be insulted. Now, whether you're ashamed of caring so much is up to you.

I'm not insulted, myself. I've just grown up with the so-so actor/cokehead embarassment/phenomenal player known as Lawrence Taylor, parodied as Terry Tate. Lawrence Taylor is LT to me.... because of familiarity. You can't retire someone's initials, though. You can't take someone's name away from them just because you like someone previous better. The fishhacks (and fans) are being lazy (and wishful) when they dub LaDainian 'LT', but they still have a right to do so because it is his name.

There will be another 'MJ', too.

My having an opinion should not make you cling to an opinion just because you don't like me. If you want to spend part of your off-time this summer being contrary for personal reasons, then you gotta do what you gotta do to let off steam from the other 9 months of the year, Mike.

I'm obsessed with the Italian thing in a more playful way than you're obsessed with the Reverse Racism against Defenseless White Men thumbsucking I've seen you engage in here and there. To tell you the truth, I can't remember if the Greeks had the saying first, that break-a-leg like wish about fathers being greater than sons... or the Romans. I think of every greek tale of fathers (and father figures) wanting to remain on top of their sons, glory wise, and then I think of Gaius Marius and Julius Caesar. The Italians were cultural thieves and felt insecure before the Greeks... like Americans and Brits, I reckon. And like Americans and Brits, why not imagine something getting lost in translation.

Anyway, don't misunderstand me. I also think it's transparent what has been done in the case of the 'LT' initials. But unlike you, I'm willing to give LaDainian a chance to create his own greatness and to make his own history, to contribute his own shine to those initials (which are his own, after all). Times change. If luck and good health shine upon him, he can even shine to the point of overshadowing Lawrence Taylor. Or someone else can overshadow both of them.

Natural Selection (for who is most worthy to be remembered as The 'LT').

Survival of the Fittest (ditto).

And yes, I see no problem in applying both of those terms (whether you think them interchangeable, or different) to the evolution of a nickname. A nickname only means as much as the memories of those who apply it.

My God, but you are so intellectually inept that calling you "retarded" would be a genuine insult to all the crayon-eating, paper-shoe wearing, institutionalized semicephalic bipeds of the world.

Hugs and kisses to you, too, babe.

[Goober McTuber]

Rhesus,

You referring to anyone else’s takes as shit is the absolute epitome of i-r-o-n-y. You tedious cunt.

[Mike the Lab Rat]

Getting "all het up?"

Sorry, I don't speak Gibberish.

I don't really care all that much about what the sportswriters call Tomlinson. My choice to refer to him by his last name instead of by the initials given to Lawrence Taylor isn't a huge deal for me.

My having an opinion should not make you cling to an opinion just because you don't like me. If you want to spend part of your off-time this summer being contrary for personal reasons, then you gotta do what you gotta do to let off steam from the other 9 months of the year, Mike.

Your opinions and statement have been ill-informed, poorly-supported, or flat out wrong so often that taking a position contrary to yours is pretty much a safe bet.

I'm obsessed with the Italian thing in a more playful way than you're obsessed with the Reverse Racism against Defenseless White Men thumbsucking I've seen you engage in here and there.

There's no such thing as "reverse racism." It's just plain-old racism. Like when you assumed that the Duke lacrosse players were guilty of rape, and then when it turned out that the whore accusing them lied, you continued to argue that they should still "fry" and "face a beat down," for no other reason than because they were upperclass white males.

Funn how you later bitched that false claims of rape diminish and hurt the credibility of the real claims, and then turn around and cry "racism" where it isn't, which...diminishes and hurts the credibility of the real claims.

Hypocrite.

But unlike you, I'm willing to give LaDainian a chance to create his own greatness and to make his own history, to contribute his own shine to those initials (which are his own, after all).

My personal choice to not refer to him as "LT" does nothing to hurt Tomlinson's reputation or performance. It's not about "giving him a chance." It's about my personal preference to not call him "LT." I doubt he really cares what I think. Your argument is idiotic, as was your earlier inept attempt to come up with other examples (yeah, that didn't work out so good for you, did it?).

Hugs and kisses to you, too, babe.

That'll do, pig.

Would you care to compare and contrast the stats of these two players?


I mean, since you have such a high degree of "familiarity" and all?


Bannie -- props. You just went yard, and knocked someone's dome over the centerfield fence.

Sigh. Is O Robertson greater than Larry Bird? Is Dan Marino greater than Barry Sanders? Is Pat Riley greater than Lenny Wilkens?

Is Jerry West greater than Bill Russell?

No, Lawrence is defense and Ladanian is offense. But greatness isn't just about the position you play. What I mean is, LaDainian has to be allowed to create his own shine, his own greatness. He creates his own greatest by having stats that are comparatively equal to or substantially greater than Lawrence Taylor's, in spite of difference of positions. LaDainian is 'LT' because that's his name, it's what's on his birth certificate.

But it's also not outside the realm of possibility for him to become THE 'LT' among 'LT's

That's all. Was I really that oblique, or were you intentionally missing what I was saying?

So, still sticking with your side of this argument, Chargertard? You guys are keeping pretty good company these days.

The midwest doesn't root for San Diego. Neither does the southwest. But y'all need to leave the kid alone, let him grow into his name or make a complete clusterfuck of it. Yeah, Lawrence Taylor is 'The Real LT'. To us old people. Nothing is forever. LaDanian will either grow into the nickname or do something so spectacular (or stupid) that he earns a new one that fits him -- and the bitterness of us old folks -- better.

...my best guess, since you asked...you've had your a$$ handed to you by no less than 6-7 people in the past 3 days. You have nothing to offer in retort past continual "Chargertard being Chargertard", and Ha!, I got over on you! So you go to the "I'll go back and change the inference of my statement" card in a futile attempt to gain credibility. Then inexplicably come staggering back for additional plungering. You've obviously captured a ready, willing, and able audience dense. Time to think about cutting your loses bud, or do you just have an uncontrollable desire to crawl into oblivion's womb?

My grandparents (on both sides of the family) came over in 1920.

It took us a lot less than 80 years to learn to speak English properly. Or to get sheepskins (my grandfather got his MBA).

Pity your people are still struggling with it.

Oh, and feel free to explain to us "snobs" how you propose to compare the stats of a linebacker with that of a running back to help decide who gets to be the "real" LT? What mathematical computation are you proposing? How do you account for the different eras? I'm sure you just MUST have some way of doing so, since you've assured us comparison is possible.

You are such a dimwit in so many areas.

[Goober McTuber]

Is O Robertson greater than Larry Bird?

I’d say probably not, due to Bird’s multiple championships. Therefore, from now on we will refer to Larry Bird as “The Big O”.

"I'll go back and change the inference of my statement" card in a futile attempt to gain credibility.

This thread was funny. It's now gone 3 levels past that.

Mike, I realize you ain't the pointiest tack in the bulliten board.

But how do you figure I "changed the inference"?

To even insinuate as much puts your intelligence, once again, on display.

Nope. I was clowning Risa's asinine fucking statement, which would be pretty freaking obvious to anyone who isn't walking around with the hard-on to get over on me.

Did you happen to notice how I mentioned in that very post how Bannie had just knocked her own head over the centerfield fence?

Did that ring a chord with you?

I guess not.

It's right there in black and white. The only thing that having the point fly completely over your head shows is that you're a fucking idiot. Nothing new there.

It never ceases to amze me how someone(that's YOU, Mike) can be the clueless one, lacking in even the most basic reasoning skills, and somehow manage to twist it into somehow reflecting poorly on the person who wrote the basic statement that the reader just can't grasp.


Since I'm one(of millions) who acknowledges Lawrence Taylor as LT, it would stand to figure that I'm quite familiar with his career. Following so far? So, being aware of Taylor's accomplishments on the field, would it make sense that requesting a statistical comparison (which someone else brought up) would mean A) I don't know which side of the ball the each player lined up on, thereby making statistical comparisons(other than rings) impossible, or B) Is it more likely your inadequate brain just didn't figure that out?

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot, than to persue the quest to try and one day attempt to match wits with me and remove all doubt.

BODE...BODE...BODE...BODE. I CLAIMED IT!!!!!!!!!
