Yep, Denver has tickets available at the booth still. I understand that they didn't even sell out a playoff game. I haven't bothered to check that out for factual basis, but it came from FOX sports radio.Originally Posted by FRENCHREDSOX

Oh no, not him again
I thought the satirical twist was fairly obvious. Another one of Foggy's favorite sayings... "pay attention son, the high hard ones are goin' right by ya".

hehe
I'm certain that it would have been obvious in person or on the phone, something like that. As just the written word though, quite a bit of meaning is normally lost.

There were Chicago Bulls fans, because of Jordan.... and when MJ left, and the championships stopped...those fans left.
Bad example here, the bulls have been in the top 5 in attendance the last 5 years, since 2002

And don't tell me the Celtics attendance didn't go down when Bird retired. Plus half the world stopped watching and going to NBA games when Jordan retired.
They tore down the Garden when Bird retired. Boston doesn't even have a basketball team anymore.

I made a huge mistake, and I learned from this when I was younger.
I was in a subway in Kirkland, and I asked this lady where she was from (she had some sort of English/scottish/irish/austrillian accent)...she said she was from the US, and she was giving me an attitude. At that time I couldn't have been older then 15, she said it is very offensive to ask where somebody is from because an accent doesn't mean a thing. She was born in the US, and when she was young, her family moved to Ireland and recently came back. She had a US passport and everything...ever since then, When I ask somebody on a personal level, where they are from (I ask "Where is your accent is from?"...)
I was soo ignorant then

My "Bulls" reference was not a bad example at all. In fact, your comments illustrate the point I was trying to make, and probably didnt state very well. The fans I was referring to were not the ones in the Chicago...they never went to Bulls games when Jordan was playing. They lived in Texas, Arizona, Alabama, etc. They just claimed to be Bulls fans, because they liked Jordan. When the team was no longer championship level, these "fans" forgot all about the Bulls. These are frontrunners, not real fans. If the Bulls attendance remained high, thats because there are a lot of real fans that are in the area that still attend games. And sure, there were probably Larry Bird "fans", that have completely disassociated themselves from the Celtics since he retired. Thats the point... there are pseudo fans everywhere...fair weather fans. When the team falls on hard times...those "fans" are gone, and its the real, hardcore fans that still follow the team.

It could be they were just a fan of MJ and not the Bulls, there are people that like certain athletes and maybe not the organization they play with.
I do get what you were trying to say though

personally, I find anyone that supports any team that's not from their home town/region in a sport where there is in fact a team in their home town/region kinda seedy, suspicious, and potentially evil.
For example, there are a surprising number of Packers fans up here in northern Illinois, and I hope they all die in fiery crashes with careening diesel tankers.
On the other hand, the Packers fans that live in Wisconsin I only wish would die in non-fiery crashes with stationary milk tankers. Or be forced to live in Onalaska.
