    seriously. reading some reference to a player shouldnt have to turn into an exercise in deductive reasoning. sure, most are obvious or famous and those are fine- but people are doing this to every name that appears in the media (even when it doesnt work very well)!!!

    this board excels in this trendy crap and i hope it dies soon.

    thank you. that is all.

    What would happen if Andy Roddick and Alex Rodriguez were ever in the same room?

    Would the universe implode?

    A Rod
    A Dick

    I don't see the issue.

    That would be weird to have A Dick and A Rod in the same room.


    edit: you suck DoD. ;)

    guess i should clarify a little. mainly the j-lo, t-mac variety. a thread in the GARM mentioned a t-grey or t-gray which inspired this post. a little reactionary, but hey im american- its my birthright...

    I think from now on I'd like to be known as d-apg.

    Yeah, I like that.

    how else would we do PBP? You expect us to type Tracy McGrady, or Juwon Howard?

    someone said JHo last night during chat and I used it for a little while, but didn't care for it and switch to JHow... I will ALWAYS abbreviate our players name in chat, so if you're are not sure who I'm talking about, pull up the Rockets roster.

    Why would people be talking about Jennifer Lopez in a Rockets chat room during a game?
