Looks like someone don't like quid pro quo over to the WRAL.
Whatever.
I ripped some clown calling himself ssjack830 a new one, HARD, yesterday after the story broke about an ECU basketball player getting arrested for recklessly firing gun several times into the air in NJ.
My rant was in reaction to jack posting exhaustively over the weekend absolutely shredding anybody and everybody that is an NC State fan because it hasn't been announced that Mustafa Greene has been expelled from State and shipped off to Siberia. He degenerated to the point of posting repeatedly in all caps and using '*' strategically when he was spelling out "MF'ers" in describing us in general.
I have been banned at WRAL Sportsfan. I consider it a badge of honor. In the interest of fairness, I hope ssjack830 got it first, due to his besting me in both VOLUME and nastiness. In the interest of not giving a flying flip, well, I don't give a flying flip.
Just wanted to say I'm loving my new home here, and look forward to many moons of intelligent discourse regarding ACC and Sports-related topics.
Good evening to all.

Welcome to the club Marty! I was banned a few months ago for encouraging everybody to go to other forums (like this one) to have intelligent discussion. It's much better on here anyway. We can actually talk about something sports realated without the kindergarteners ruining it!

Welcome to the club Marty! I was banned a few months ago for encouraging everybody to go to other forums (like this one) to have intelligent discussion. It's much better on here anyway. We can actually talk about something sports realated without the kindergarteners ruining it! Yeah, but you got banned for being "competition". I got banned for standing up to a spineless UNC chump that wanted to loudly, repeatedly, vulgarly, and incorrectly call out NC State fans. Dude's the worst kind of liar - a coward of convenience. It's all good; like Jack Nicholson said, he (and the candy aces at WRAL) couldn't handle the truth. I was far less censor-worthy but, come to think of it, I feel like they did me a favor. Later, Matt. |

Yeah, I think they could do everybody a favor if they shut down that site. I don't even go on there to read anything anymore, much less post. It just isn't worth reading through all the b.s. to find something of substance.

www.wralsportsfan.com/unc/story/11090999/I know, I know - this came from WRAL, but holy crap! Just in the last two days, they've posted stories about ex-player and accused drug dealer and agent runner Chris Hawkins being arrested in Kinston on gun charges, the article came out about UNC's internal investigation into the African and Afro-American Studies Department fiasco, now Donte Paige-Moss gets charged with speeding, reckless driving to endanger, and DWI in Orange County on Wednesday. Again, the reason I got banned from WRAL Sportsfan is because I gave every bit as good as I and other State fans got from one UNC fan who comPLETEly snapped and went off the deep end about why Mustafa Greene was still on NC State's football roster after his recent driving and drug charges (not arising out of the same incident, by the way), now we get these three stories. I'll be the first to admit that Greene is a current player while Hawkins hasn't been a UNC student for almost ten years, but Paige-Moss just played (and danced) for UNC last season. If nothing else, this would appear to at least be another dent in the cloak of invincibility that conceals the proverbial "Carolina Way". Holy crap, indeed.

It's been crazy watching all these articles come out this week. I've really been dumbfounded by it. I know this stuff goes on all the time...but to get caught doing it and so many players involved who are now being arrested for various charges is just truly amazing to me.

I doubt that there are many more former athletes getting in trouble than there used to be. I just think that every one that happens in this era gets publicized. And why wouldn't they get publicized, when each such incident drives a bazillion clicks on smack talk sites like WRAL.
WRAL can't complain when their site degenerates into mindless and repetitive BS. They are inviting it.

I second both of you gentlemen. Yeah, I posted about stuff connected to UNC; from my perspective as a State fan I'm glad that right now I'm not hearing anything negative connected to NCSU; that could change in the blink of an eye, and I'm also not "celebrating" the negative UNC press, I'm just amazed at the rapidity with which these events are unfolding. |

I agree with all. WRAL is like a breeding ground for nonsense.
It's never good to celebrate the misfortune of another school, but it's okay to be happy as hell it isn't your school!
