Well, to me it's a biological function and not a profanity. Is there a list of words you get?

lol the rule is whatever can be said on regular cable television before 9pm is allowed. I know this all seems childish but thats what it takes.

And how do people know what those are. I have heard some pretty racy things said at that time that I would have never thought could be said but on HBO. Seems like a very subjective standard if you ask me.

HBO isn't regular cable. I'm not sure what you want from me jrutledge. I was just mentioning a bizare situation. Sounds like no matter what I say during this post your going to have some kind of devils advicate advice. So sorry for whatever has you upset?

I realize that HBO is not regular cable, but you do hear similar language on network TV for example that you might think you would think you only hear on HBO. So I was wondering as well as Rich how do you come to that standard.

And I had moved on when you found something bizarre. And considering it was a Men's league I was a little more trying to figure out what was so bizarre or if there was a larger point. Again, you posted something on a discussion board and usually people ask questions are try to make a larger point which was very hard to figure out. I find many things bizarre and I do not post them here and expect people to not comment on them. If you asked "Does this happen to you...." or "Was my partner's actions bizarre" then you might have got the response you were looking for. I am not even sure what you were expecting anyone to say.

Peace

I wasn't looking for any responses really. I'll be sure to send a private message to you next time to see if it is exceptable to state.

Sometimes when conversations start they start with a statement not a question. You could have not commented but I see by other posts of yours on other threads that you are one of those guys that can't not comment.

It is obvious you did not expect responses.

That is interesting, this is probably the only thread I commented on today that was an OP. But then again you started a thread on a public board and then got upset by folks that commented. I was the second person that did not see the point and how long have you been here. Most new people ask a question, try to make a point or see if what they experienced happens to others. If anything was bizarre it was your OP and the way you responded when a couple of people responded. No sweat off my back, you do not see me posting stories and get upset when I get responses. That is usually how a discussion board works.

Now I know you are one of those guys.

Peace

Charlie Sheen and the nerds from Big Bang utter all kinds of stuff before 9:00. They must not know about those shows.

I have no idea WRT Sheen's show. I find it, well, let's just say I don't watch. Big Bang Theory, however, I watch; and I have to say I've never heard any of the FCC forbidden words on that show.

If a player called an opponent some of the things that ARE on that show, regardless of being in the Carlin 7 or not, what would your reaction be?

Obviously, BillyMac hasn't read this thread yet or there would be a picture of George Carlin posted......

Would any or all of you allow a player to yell sh*t in a high school game? Note "yell" as in everybody in the gym can hear it. I wouldn't. Our association directs our officials to call it and the leagues we serve have told us they don't want it allowed either. The NFHS rulesmakers have also told us to call it in a very specific POE that they issued.

I can see leeway in Mens Wreck, guys, but would you allow the same behavior in one of your high school games?

[grunewar]

Yell it so the entire gym heard it = No. I would consider it unsporting.

Whack!

If a player yelled it out after turning the ball over? Honestly? I'd probably not even notice it.

Nope. T'd a player once already this season for exactly that behavior...
