This is the part that bugged me, and demonstrates Dan's class-ism (maybe racism?). Just before calling Reggie "uneducated" he says that his client/brother is worth $250,000,000 - so he must be doing something right, right? He very well may not be doing a good job managing Derrick's PR image, but I doubt that has anything to do with his lack of studying Henry David Thoreau at University. Jay Z is "uneducated" too, but he seems to be doing pretty good for himself. Someone needs to tell Danny that not all successful businessmen are "educated".

Well, the implication is that the $250,000,000 has a lot more to do with Derrick than with Reggie, and that with hypothetical proper representation, it would be even more.

Actually a good article would have been about Rose not taking his ACT....about he isn't the sweet little kid from Englewood he is. EWhat should have been written is he is a punkass :shock:

It took the Duke genius 5 fucking years to realize that ...kudos Dan kudos :roll:

This is typical behavior from a player who has always done only what is in his personal best interest, everybody else be damned. He’ll take every last dollar, and enjoy all the team-supplied resources for medical consultations, surgeries, rehabilitation programs and various therapists, only to ignore their professional opinions just because he feels like it.

"Taking every last dollar"? That sounds like monetizing everything!

The other irony of this whole thing is that if Mac is to be believed in some of his old posts here, Dan himself is about as far from a "team player" as anyone can be. Even the shots at Mac and North about how it's not his job to help people would back that up.

Seriously. "I'm mad that Rose is actually doing the things I've spent the last decade saying people should do!"

Yup. Clearly you worked or do work at the Score.

No I haven't though I did date a chick years ago that temped there when they were on Belmont. Does that qualify? You appear to be extremely preoccupied with things that are not pertinent to the discussion. You lay in the bushes and speculate on whether I am Jason Goff or have worked at the score. Never have. If I did i would tell you. I'm not in the tank for them I stopped listening to their show a long time ago because it was not interesting any longer. I agree with his basic point which is what I attempted to address. It appears that it is difficult for you to argue the point but it is easier to participate in childish ad hominems about me. I am a poster at times like you are. That stuff does not bother me and by that I am referring to the Score speculation but it does appear that it is difficult for you to formulate valid arguments without reverting to some stupid theory on who I might be.

just the way Goff would have responded

Don't think Goff would have used the term ad hominem do you?

It was a joke.

I don't take the speculative stuff seriously but the one problem that I have is that you invoke it every time I post. It is sort like A-HA not the one hit wonder music group. Is that your gotcha moment? You may have to find a new beat. You use it as a means of discrediting what I have to say.

if you didn't create a mult called "Big Ben Gordon With A" at some point to do a proper back to back "hello CSFMB" intro post then you're not trying.

edit: also torch, how did you manage to get a small image in your signature? i've never seen anyone else even get a small 50x50 avatar into their signature, so did you get grandfathered in or exploit some board loophole that biggie will ban you for if it becomes a trend?

You seem to not react kindly when someone tells you how to post.

You're right; I should, as you do, fall all over myself to ammend my posting ways to the design of some other internet denizen.

DonTiny is back to lay the message board law down! He is definitely the arbiter of such things!

This whole ball of shit, yet again, coming from you is fuckong hilarious. You have zero self awareness.

You are a total worthless douche.
