Yea, I admit, I'm not very good with smilies. But in the past, I haven't understood them to negate anything anyone said. A joke is usually a play on words or a humorous misstatement or a gentle jab at a human failing of some sort. Which kind of joke were you trying to make with your smilies?

Go back to the first post again. Rookiedude calls it funky.
He made it as unlikely as he could to flip the closely guarded thread.
Is a play smart if it is hurt if your kid picks up their dribble? Is it smart if you line up your kids against a boundary, where a high pass is a turn over? Is it smart if the coach says don't score if they give you the lay-up?
Maybe we should ask Hawks Coach, about it?
Better yet, Rob Evans. I could go to Tucson to ask Lute.

Soooo......
Which kind of joke were you trying to make with your smilies?
And in this post, which kind of joke are you trying to make with your smilie?

Okay, RookieDude made the play up as an extreme example to flip our view of closely guarded.
In his reply to me he pushed it even farther, by using a youth rec league with mandatory man defense, with his own smilies. He got it.
My reply to you and your," What's stupid about it," post I was needling you.
The last one, was because of your and everyone else's reaction to Bill Kennedy. That is know as self-deprecating humor.

Okay, well thanks for explaining it. That post in reaction to my "What's stupid about it?" post doesn't have a smilie, so I was confused. But then, I'm not very good at smilies. This is not self-deprecating humor. It's just the reality. I still don't think it would always be a stupid play, and I still don't think you can say that. But I won't take you too seriously after this, since that's probably not what you were saying, anyway, after discounting for the humor.
Just for the record, I have had no reaction to Bill Kennedy at all. I've never heard of the guy. This isn't humor, just basic fact.

No you reacted to the reaction of others about Bill, when I used Nunez, Garretson and Rush. 
p.s. I said it was a joke, I can't guarantee it will be funny.
