Between all of the MD fans and ACC guys, we should at least be able to cover half of the top six basketball conferences

If you'd like, I'd be happy to contribute as well. It's probably the one subject I can write about that a couple people might read....namely, you and me. And, well, I guess if I mention GA Tech at some point Shack might respond with a dissertation on how wrong I was about a point I wasn't even trying to make.

I'm so down for this. Like so, so, so, so, so down.

So down that I've avoided this thread since like the first initial few replies because I've been terrified to read it. Like, so down that I know writing is what I'm "supposed to do" but I'm afraid because I have no creative ideas (well, like no "big" idea) yet. Like I'm so prepared to do this and need to take that leap.

But like, what would I add? I'm certainly no 'saber' guy so I'm not gonna break down how Devi Cruz's fwar made his contract a net-positive or how Marty Cordova's sun-burn negatively effected his OPS or how Jay Gibbons' movie appearance in "Wedding Crashers" showed how his BABIP as an anomaly for that year or how Manny's salsa dictates his range as a 3B compared to him playing SS.

And I don't want Stoner "giving me assignments" because I think that'll just make it feel like it's chore or something 'to do.'

And like I don't feel qualified enough (or at least enough compared to others that contribute) to review movies or music. Hell, I get enough flack for my thoughts on Star Wars and The Beatles. And I won't mention my thoughts on 'The Sopranos' (cough Six Feet Under and a handful of others are better, imho) just so no one actually flys out here to 'off-me,' nor have I listened to one second of "The Hold Steady."

So it's like "I know I can contribute, but what?"

And the whole "but what" is what's kept me away from this thread.

As an aside, it's kinda weird that such a high percentage of the consistent posters now have BSL in front of their names.

Perhaps DC United?  And maybe a bit broader in-terms of MLS as a whole?

What are you on about?

 

I was hammered last night and can only assume this post was supposed to be in another thread.

 

Carry on.
