Can't we all just get along and enjoy one another.

E.g.,

Fixed. Please take the asinine name-calling to RealGM. Folks here disdain that sort of silliness because it adds nothing and makes you look rather lame.

I don't see either as having agendas...I see them as guys that try their hardest to spark intelligent conversation on these threads.

I wish some of you would chill out with the abuse you spew at these dudes. I'm glad they continue to show up everyday. I think they are a huge part of what makes these forums some of the best on the net.

Maybe its not having an opinion, but the opinion itself?

These are good dudes, opinions are like assholes. Everyone got one!

I would not have put Playa in an appreciation thread with Briggs.

Briggs does his homework and researches players like he looking for up and coming stocks. I've had a lot of arguments with him, he is sometimes mean to me(...sniff)and his comments are perhaps a tad heavy handed when they don't need to be, but I understand that he likes the team and is always thinking of how to improve it, even if I disagree with his assessments. I also take his player research seriously- again, he is not always right (he is a sucka' for athletic bigs)- but I don't have the time to follow college ball that often except for the tournament- so I sometimes learn of a player for the first time from him.

Playa is a provocateur, par excellence, who tries to push buttons by posting on certain topics. He seems to limited in terms of what I see him write about this or that player or issue. Don't know if he is a racist, as some have insinuated- I will let people judge that for themselves by reading his posts and drawing their own conclusion. He does seem to have agendas which drive him, though. Maybe when I retire in a few years I will be bored enough to do a word analysis of his posts- might be revealing.

I will make a prediction. If AR and Gallo remain on the team, you can be sure of getting a regular diet of posts where Playa is providing his usual "objective" analysis of the two young men, and god forbid Anthony's minutes don't measure up to Playa's expectations- his pet name for MDA will be "pasted" all over this forum.

You should consider overthrowing, so you can get your crown back.
