You guys are a bunch of pussies. There is very little traffic here so what do you do? Move threads to abandoned forums. What a bunch of dumb fucks you are.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

You're getting pissy because an NFL topic got moved to the NFL forum?

You're just not happy unless you're angry.

I wanted it here for a reason you nazi asshat. I don't go to that stupid wasteland of a forum. But by all means get as little traffic in here as you can.

The sports forum? What you thread parsing dildo lickers don't have one? With idiots like you at the helm it a wonder this place runs at all. At least until feb when you stupid idiots shut it down cause you can't find the billing address. There are retard sprints at the special Olympics with more brain power than you asshats.

So first you complain about a sports thread getting moved because of lack of traffic, then complain that there isn't one more sports forum to move traffic to?

You tend to lack focus when you vag is discharging

[Bucmonkey]

M2's troll or vice versa.

[Moving Sale]

R-jack wouldn't know sarcasm if it fucked his horse like GF.

I want fewer forums you narcissistic dong licker.

[R-Jack]

I want fewer forums.

The original deflategate thread in the NFL forum has more action than anything here. But yeah, a place where people want to discuss only NFL football and not wade through examples of your winning personality to find it......terrible idea.

[Moving Sale]

A forum with a thread on the first page that has not been responee to in 3 months? Yes, that's a bad idea you narcissistic horse fucking asssock.

[R-Jack]

Right. Because there is more relevant football news on Michael Sam.

You do realize why a forum about a specific genre will have less traffic than the general forum right? That doesn't change the fact that when people want to talk NFL football, they go there. Forgive me for not giving two fucks about the opinions of literally the only person who can't figure that out.

You go realize that on top of being a total asshole you are also stupid? This is not now nor has it ever been a sports story. It's a general interest story which is why I put it in the general forum, but of course you don't care because you are a stupid narcissistic horse (and horse looking daughter) fucking stooge with half the brain God gave to rocks.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Nobody cares what you want you OshKosh B'Gosh wearing douchebuffet. Just leave the sports talk to the rest of us. We'll let you know when the subject of black cock or lemon trees comes up.

1970s:
1. Mark Spitz
1a. Mean Joe Greene

I considered Spitz, because he was COMPLETELY dominant (7 Golds, 7 world records)-- but it was in a minor sport and it was over the course of one Olympiad.

Greene?

One homer pick, I guess.

Haven't seen a reach this big since the last time you tried to turn a doorknob.

but of course you don't care because.......

I vote to bring his thread back up in this forum -----> so we can find out what his "reason" was for putting it here.

Which is why it was covered by every major new organization in their regular newscast and hit the front page of most major newspapers, but you know better because you fuck horses so you know more about what is and isn't a sports story? That's why I put it here and the only reason it was moved is because you and your ilk are dumber than a used condom. Stick that in your sig and stroke to it you narcissistic pee hole licker.

MGIrrelevant,
Would you please stop obsessing on my body? It's fucking creepy.

[trev]

The first one I thought of before I read the comments. I think I had one of his posters back in the day. I was on the Dayton Dolphins swim team. All the ladies thought he was cute. Here is some eye candy for KCScott and whoever else is interested. :)

The incredible part about Spitz is how dominant he was in Munich in spite of the fact that he only worked hard the year before those games. He could have set records that would have stood likely over a decade if he had worked hard from Mexico City to Munich.

Poptard;
Just because you only pay attention to ball & stick sports doesn't mean that swimming is a "minor" sport. You obviously are very ignorant about swimming history if you think that Spitz only dominated at the '72 Olympics. He was awarded the James E Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete that year. One doesn't win that award for just winning a race or two.

[poptart]

Swimming is a minor sport.

Do you honestly think it belongs on the same level as baseball, basketball, football and hockey?
It's even below golf and tennis.
It's almost like bowling. haha

If you think it is not minor, your opinion is in the... minority. :wink:


I guess someone could put Spitz up there as 1a of the 1970s, but I would consider it a little bit of a stretch.
Put him up there over guys who busted it with excellence/dominance in a "major" sport for 10 years?
I dunno.
His was a very short run, by comparison.

Make your list if you want to.

[BSmack]

As yourself this Tart, how many other people won 7 golds between Montreal and Munich?

[R-Jack]

No one from Israel.

[poptart]

lol @ R-Jack!


B, there is no questioning Spitz' greatness, but...

1970s:
1. Muhammad Ali
1a. Jack Nicklaus

Ali was Ali.
Jack won 8 majors in the '70s.

I don't see any room for Mark Spitz.

[BSmack]

Joe Greene was in the Pro Bowl every year during the 70s. 8 Times he was either 1st or 2nd team All Pro. Twice he was defensive player of the year. He was the single most dominant player during the golden age of defensive football. Yea, he deserves a spot over Jack, whose greater glories came in the 60s.

As for Ali, he only held the title for 3 years in the 70s. He was The Greatest in the 60s, he was a shell of himself after 75.

[poptart]

There was no bigger sports star in the world in the 1970s than Muhammad Ali.
In the '70s, he had the 3 epic Frazier fights and also the famous Foreman fight.

Nicklaus won more majors in the '70s than he did in the '60s, although I don't disagree that he might have actually been a better player in the earlier decade.
