Thumbs down Seriously guys

It seems like every thread these days degenerates into name calling and other similar nonsense.

I would say, "Grow up!" but that might start something.

Oh wait...

Seriously....when has this ever been different since you have been here?

Either you are not paying attention or you are in denial. This has been this way for years and this board more than others.

Peace

No, I think it's worse. It used to be once in a while but now it seems like every post. But regardless, it just diminishes the board and the people doing the namecalling.

Really.

If it is worse than you have not been here as long as I thought you had. Heck McGriffs was much worse than this. Not advocating the name calling, but this is tame by my standards.

Worse than when I started then.

But that's neither here nor there. Surely we should all be above such juvenile behavior.

Well, this IS the baseball board... not sure why you're surprised. haha.

One of the reasons football is now my main sport. Camaraderie amongst the officials is outstanding. Egos are generally checked at the door as you have to work as a team more so than in baseball.

Just look at the baseball board here, then look at the football board at refstripes.com - there are great discussions there and everyone is even willing to help new people (which I know was a hot button issue on the baseball boards). The amount of pure "bickering" in threads is significantly lower.

Season is just around the corner!
