eyawn just doesn't understand

mr. g, it's starting to feel like you get personally offended when people hate on "your" lakers. and it's not even like that. cuz really, i admire the work you do as a person. you can't see me, but right now, i am standing an applauding your work as a teacher.

but the more i think about it, of all laker fans, even as hardcore as you claim to be, you should be the one to understand the mindset of any of one of the many bay-area-based-laker-haters. after all, you have embraced the bay area as another home (actually, at one point in time, you embraced the warriors, but that's ok, most of us didn't take that personally)

so you should at least kinna understand what bay area sports feel like.

it feels like manny ramirez turns down the giant's, who offered him the exact same contract he is in right now, just cuz it's la

it feels like frickin usc ucla gettin all media attention

it feels like i fuckin hate anaheim and anything there (sorry phil) and game 6 of the 2002 world series and the stupid ducks

it feels like sportscenter la?! why do i need a different sportscenter from la?

ok i know now it sounds like i'm whining, and if i think about it, i guess i am, but maybe it boils down to this:

- the warriors franchise looks like it has no idea what they're doing, even though they have/had the most loyal fanbase in the nba.
- the lakers franchise seems to know exactly what they're doing, and even though you and paul seem to know how to properly watch a basketball game, most "die-hard" laker fans i've come across are ignorant about the game and just have no idea what they're talking about. understandably so, since the franchise has spoiled them with a continually successful basketball team and therefore they don't really need to know anything except how to know if the team won or not.
(it feels like those two points need some proof or something, so @eyawn, please bring me a reliable sample of 100 laker fans and i'll prove my point. if you cannot, then i win)

man this post has become me rambling now. i don't even wanna post it anymore, but i have to cuz i said i would. maybe i'll join the post-a-day crew.

fuck la

just for fun

somehow i missed this post. lol. but it's cool as much as i love the Angels i do not love the name Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim...it was dumb name and the management thought they could ride off the cash train that is LA. Disneyland, however, is always cool and is in Anaheim along with a Gerry's Grill
