2008 Draft Day Thread: 7:30 ESPN

[TheGuiltyParty]

Quick question: Did Ed Stefanski end his press conference because he was called back into the War Room??? I thought it ended kind of awkwardly with him heading right  out of the press area. Oh course, he may have had Taco Bell for dinner.

This board could be a good place for Sixer posters.  Add a few posters (Skates, Ducky, SF1976, Knux) and this board would have a good crew.  And then go invite only based on whether someone is a good poster at one of the other boards.

As long as there is no secret handshake.

I wouldn't have any issues with checking back on this board. I would say that tonight's discussion has involved just about the essential posters that any Sixers discussion should have.

On second thought, making the board private is probably a bad idea- but maybe if we pm'd a few good posters (the ones I mentioned and I'm sure there's more) this could be the basis for a spam free zone for a while.

Well im happy with the pick - I cannot believe how far DeAndre Jordan fell

Also, I just read the "We all hate Jem" thread - I mean seriously is everyone on there under 12?

I  was thinking the same thing - he said something like gotta go do my job and he up and left fast

[johnny broad-street]

well there goes my 2nd rounder...

[jemagee]

Did Stefanski say anything interesting during his Presser?

[Howardmgm3]

So I guess we should look at Herbert Hill as our second round pick??

By the way - keep in mind this is the internet - and these posts are not suitable for the easily offended - but you want to see some real 'jem' hatred - check this out

then again, most of the people who post there have sports knoweldge that hasn't progressed past the 50s and maturity levels that haven't gotten out of the high school locker room

Three thoughts...

1) Congrats on making your usual exit from a message board

2) That board is full of douchebags. That thread is one of the most disturbing threads I've ever read and so good for you for getting the hell away from them.

3) I find it funny that there's a board full of dudes who hate your guts and yet another board (realgm) that pretty much wants you back.

Oh how I love the internet.

I'm just a very polarizing figure on the internet...do i win a prize or something?

[TheGuiltyParty]

Listen... I'm a big Jem fan and was fairly pissed when he got banned... but the man did the crime and has to serve the time. My question is whether or not he's served enough time. I mean, does a ban have to be a lifetime thing?? That seems a bit silly especially when you have so many people asking for his reinstatement.

Something seems wrong that SendEm hasn't been banned yet. Does anyone enjoy his posts??

The Sixers board is kinda slow, but there are some good posters.  There are some scary posters to, and an extra helping of blowhards- but I guess thats the same everywhere.

real Gm keeps things a bit better under control with more active mods.

Kyle Korver and Willie green were both picked in the last 11 picks of the draft, i wouldn't give up just yet

no nothing new besides how he got the guy he wanted all along

[johnny broad-street]

Yeah that guys does have some knowledge but never uses it and hijacks too many threads....between him and Dedicated there are whole threads I just stop reading

[Stanford]

Im out ladies.

Seeya next year Jem - unless you get banned from this barren wasteland for arguing with the tumbleweeds

[Westbrook36]

SendEm hasn't really broken any rules, he just is repetitive with his hate for Iggy, and he has right to differ in opinion.

I've always been against banning someone simply because they have a majorly minority opinion, even if they are doing it just to annoy. The reason is because they spend a lot of time posting and contributing and banning someone pretty much is flushing all those wasted hours at the board down the toilet.

If you break rules though and are a major distraction then it is ok.
