Re: It's the 10 year anniversary of Losmania!
To this day I still can't believe how he messed that one up. He did literally the ONE thing he shouldn't have. The very definition of clawing defeat from the jaws of victory.Originally posted by bleve View PostComment

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.

I never hated JP, I just thought he was a SoCal jerk with a giant sense of entitlement.Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View Post
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 razdavimComment

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 razdavimComment

Re: It's the 10 year anniversary of Losmania!
You have convinced yourself that he's single handedly responsible for the state of our franchise, and that he was supposedly hated so much by his own teammates that they intentionally injured him.Originally posted by Spartacus View Post
How is that an "exculpatory excuse"? If any thing I was more invested in his success then most.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.

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 razdavimComment

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
