More of a fan of AD than Lebron I mean, that makes sense, you’re always going to be more into the sport when your team is doing well. Unless it’s NFL where I’m into hardcore regardless.

It got better in 2014, and the Warriors winning a title with a complete 100% homegrown team in 15-16 which is a rarity (I’m a Warrior fan as well) was absolutely awesome. Then, when they signed Durant, it died again. I was a fan not thrilled with signing Durant, just totally throws off the balance of the sport. And I’m not the only one who thinks this, NBA’s ratings were way higher in the 2000’s, and the past 3 years their ratings have been in the total gutter. yea the teaming up crap needs to stop, makes it boring when you know who the 4 teams will be in the Conference Finals every year. Im a Lakers fan, and rooted for GSW vs those Miami teams, was refreshing to see a team built organically, then KD came, such a weak move. Now you got the Nets lol, easy to root against. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up playing football and baseball too. Baseball being my main sport too. Edited April 21, 2021 by Humble_Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warriors are back to being homegrown, but lot of injuries and just the Curry show. They suck, but he’s on fire and MVP status play. He has to go down as the funnest player to watch the sport has ever seen imo. Edited April 21, 2021 by BayRaider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curry reminds me of Kobe when he was stuck playing with Mihm, Smush ParkerS... The era after Shaq and before Gasol/Bynum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrenaline starts pumping, hands get sweaty and cold, pace back and forth when big plays happen. Yell at people/things/stuff. I get out of 3 hour Raider games like I just survived 3 minutes with prime Mike Tyson. Way too intense. I don't know how to watch a Raiders game without losing my **** at least once. It's a heckuva drug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be good for our blood pressure if we could field a semi competent team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to a lesser extent: First Chief game, and the Saints game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't handle it. It already ruined my day for like 4-5 hours. But the Jets, Dolphins, and other close games, I live for those moments. I don't care if the Jets game was blown by them on purpose or what, we still freaking won, and that was great. That Dolphins game though, so glad Arden Key is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have high blood pressure. Always seems to be a non issue during the offseason. Lol.... Weight goes down, mood stabilizes. Life is just easier during the offseason. Hope just comes back into our lives lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Chiefs game I was standing there in the living room with my 11 year old son talking about how we're Mike Tyson and we got a punchers chance. "Can't nobody knock us out because our offense can throw hay makers." Man was I in the zone that game. We started throwing bombs to come back in the second quarter to Ruggs and Agholor and I was just hyped up beyond the max. I could've powered my house for 15 days with the adrenaline coursing through my veins that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Chiefs are smart, they lost because the Bucs owned them in the trenches. their offensive line is back to being one of the best in the league. Kyle Long isn't even going to be a starter for them but they are loaded. Well their defense isn't all that, their DL is also great. A great DL can carry a defense, Chiefs realize this. thats why I never understood why we always prioritize DBs first lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
