I do still pop in from time to time....and should not because I really don't want to be here,but when I read selected tripe I am very much challenged to restrain from posting.



But let me ask HODown a question.




Do you enjoy opening a thread with a deceased's name followed by the word...DEAD?


Are you a newspaper headline chief or something?


If you have to post it can't you just say "passes away" or something easier on the eye?















Why I bother really beats me.

Gotta agree with Morty on this one. Topic caption was maybe a little too strong.

Being in the college basketball business, this came as a big shock to all of the CBB fraternity. He was a great coach & family man. Many coaches out there are sleaze, just using these kids for personal gain, but not this coach! I loved his post game comments that the "kids won the games, not him!"

We need more guys like Coach P in the college ranks to help guide our young people in the right direction in life!

Thank you for applauding my fine work.


It's just not HODown..many people seem to enjoy posting someones demise........and by always styling it thusly:





What'shis/her name..........DEAD.












Let's not pretend we are New York Post headline advisors.

Cannot believe that I am going to agree with Morty, but I do agree 100%. It is not just in the newspapers, but on TV news, too. Pretty sick way to put it...

I can only imagine what Whodey's headline will be when Nick Zito passes.

This I am sure will cause rioting...but...




..and I'm just sayin'.....but I personally ...and it's just the way I think.....I don't know about posting a request for prayers regarding deaths or people in trouble.


I just think it's dumb.





What's worse is when replies like..."PRAYERS OUT!!"...."PRAYERS ON THE WAY!!"......"YOU GOT 'EM TONIGHT BUDDY!"
























God.

May I say ....too kind?


But we are just agreeing. I know others don't...but we can express our opinion.




I think the "PRAYERS ON THE WAY!!!" thing gets me most. I see that so much.I mean what the fucl<, are they doing ...sending them Fed X??




I don't believe them when they say that.


I don't think they're on the way at all.


It's like saying " El checko is in el mailo."



I'm pretty horned off right now so I hope TrueSwine do not stick their big snouts in here.
