Re: It's the 10 year anniversary of Losmania!
That card is incredibly hilarious.
I'll admit it, I was surprised by the Losman pick but I did want him to be successful. He was actually from my neighborhood in California and a few of my friends knew him growing up so it doubly burned when he busted.
That said, Sparty's hatred of Losman is far more obsessive and long-lasting than anyone's support for him.

It was JP's FANS and their creepy man-crush that I hated.
I'm sure that any of them that have the guts to admit they thought JP was the second coming will have some sort of exculpatory excuse, like your comment that you rooted for him because he was a homeboy.My tebya razdavim

He cheered for Uncle Eddie and other relatives who played high school football for the Venice Gondoliers. Losman was a small boy wrapped in his uncle's oversized letter jacket as he watched Soto play quarterback in jersey No. 7, worn over the years by several from the clan, including Losman, who wears it still for the Bills.
Losman's grandfather on his mom's side was Native American. "My grandfather was very strict," Losman says he has been told. "He wanted his kids in sports and out of trouble. And when I came along that's still what the family totally thrived on."
Losman played multiple sports. He had no time for trouble, except on occasion after midnight. He would sometimes go to the marina and "borrow" boats for an hour or two. "I'd be scared the whole time," he says, but he never got caught.
"I would look at the ocean and think how cool it would be to go out there myself in the pitch-black night. I was always an adventurer-traveler."My tebya razdavim

How is that an "exculpatory excuse"? If any thing I was more invested in his success then most.
Arguing with Losmaniacs - it's enough to sour one on the whole human race...
1. I never said he was "single handedly responsible for the state of our franchise" (others had a hand in it), nor did I say he was "hated so much by his own teammates that they intentionally injured him."(They didn't hate him, he wasn't worth it. What they did was send him a message, and when it wound up breaking his leg, no tears were shed.)
2. Of course it's an exculpatory excuse. Everyone else has to say they loved him because of his great hair, or his buff physique or his love for the ancient Greeks. But you're a fan because he grew up in the neighborhood, so, in that case you're excused.Last edited by CommissarSpartacus; 09-02-2015, 11:25 AM.My tebya razdavim
