You act like RGIII is moving from Sweden to Nigeria. That's a negligible increase in the black population and the city already has LeBron so it didn't NEED RGIII to become relevant.
UNC was a Top-5 team all season. They aren't Cinderella.

Yes, North Carolina is only good this year, and damn near every year in like the last 50 fucking years, because of a fucking church shooting last year.
Let me guess, your retarded ass is also going to claim North Carolina never would have made this far, even though they were and are the second most picked team to win the championship behind Michigan State going into the tournament.
I guess those national championships in 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005 and 2009 were all rigged too. Oh, and their 18 Final Four trips, their 27 Elite Eight trips, their 32 Sweet Sixteen trips and their 47 tournament appearances, all since 1941!
Holy Crap, the Tar Heels making a Final Four? The fix is in. I mean who would actually think this was even a possibility? Outside of all the preseason polls. :fp:
Facepalm. Again with the black population retarded shit. If that's the case, why not Detroit (84.4% black population, Miami (77.9%), Baltimore (65.1% plus the added bonus of being next door rivals from his old team = ratings bonus!!!), Tennessee (Memphis 64.1%), New Orleans (61.2%), Detroit again (including Flint and their 59.5%), hell, even Atlanta (Savannah, Georgia has 56.7% black population).
Nope! But he did go to Cleveland solely because of their whopping 53% black population!
And fascinating, now that retarded shit now involves just any old black quarterback. Before it was specifically Michael Vick, but now that Vick isn't popular or a big name in football last season or right now, Vick is no ignored and it's on to a different black quarterback.
That black population really helped black quarterbacks Thaddeus Lewis and Jason Campbell while they were with the Browns. Jesus, could you try to be any more racist?
I also love how a jump of 5% black population from one team/city to the next is like some huge uncovering of deception.
Would it not have been better if South Carolina made the Final Four, since the shooting was three hundred miles and a state away from Chapel Hill? Also the town of Chapel Hill is 73% white, since you seem to feel racial percentage are of importance. Follow that with three teams from North Carolina making the tourney (UNC, UNC Wilmington and UNC Asheville) yet zero teams from the state of South Carolina. The Gamecocks only made it to the NIT and were knocked out in the second round at home.
It's almost like the exact opposite of what you are trying to prove has occurred.
Nah, you're getting it all wrong. In ram's world, as long as the cities are either in the same state, or in neighboring states, it doesn't matter if they're 5 miles apart or 1,000.
We're talking about the same dumbass who is convinced that people in St. Louis are massively pro-Kansas City Royals/Chiefs despite the fact St. Louis and Kansas City are rivals in sports and they're what, 400 miles apart I think it was? But hey! Same state! Ferguson! Kansas City success equals appeasing the blacks in Ferguson/St. Louis 400 miles away, rivalries be damned! According to the brain damaged mind of ram.
John Oliver pulling a Ram for shits and giggles

LOL at all your excuses. The Carolina's are the same fucking region with large black populations.
lol at you trying to reason away that the Panthers,Clemson Tigers and the TarHeels times 2, all have fantastic seasons with 3 finals and a conference championship game at basically the same time.
derp it just sorta happened dude.
and I'm 7th out of 21 people in the bracket ( currently 4th in another),not knowing crap about college ball with my theory lol. If Carolina wins I'm 3rd or 4th for sure.
you cant shake me. All your pseudo knowledge about sports is useless.

where did I say that? I didnt? I said the powers that be had those teams win in that State. Who the fans like in their State is unimportant but you are fool to think it doesnt help local/State interst and generate cash and give people a warm feeling while something else is going on.
You make Donald Trump look sane.
George Carlin, may he rest in peace, said it best. Ram, you are the Trifecta.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rh6qqsmxNs
Lmao! 7th after sitting in the bottom three the entire fucking tournament until the Final Four. You don't even get to claim shit dipshit.
You didn't do jack fucking shit, sitting with one of the three worst brackets the entire fucking tournament until North Carolina, your only good pick (also a pick that a large portion of the country made so don't even start with your retarded "fixed" shit), made it to the Final Four and Championship game like most people expected them to.
Another devastating loss for both Carolinas. My prayers to the victims of the church shooting. This loss reopens old wounds.
Hmm. Spent the entire tournament among the three worst brackets in the entire group. Never made it higher than fourth worst bracket until the Final Four.
The only reason he finished higher than the four worst brackets is because he picked the most popular team to win it all (the most popular pick since the preseason over 6-7 months ago). And even then, he still finished no better than 7th and look at that, finished behind Smooth Pancakes for the second time in a row (NFL season pick 'em and March Madness).
Yet all our "pseudo knowledge about sports is useless" and everything is fixed and ram is right. :eyeroll:
Looks like the only thing ram was right about was riding the most popular team to the end of the tournament like a majority of the entire rest of the nation, while massively sucking ass in all of his other picks.
Christ, my champion pick, Michigan State, lost on the second fucking day of the tournament, ram's champion, the most popular pick in the nation, North Carolina, made it all the way to the Championship game and yet I STILL beat his ass in the standings.
Just more proof that ram really doesn't know shit.
Why would you get the victims hopes up only to have them lose on a last second shot? The NCAA is Ice Cold with those scripts.
To save Ram some time, let's get this out of the way. South Carolina has is a Top 10 baseball team, preseason pick to go to the CWS and won the title in 2010 and 2011. Clemson is a solid team that is constantly in the top 25 and only missed the NCAA Tournament once in the past 10+ years. College of Charleston went to a Super Regional in 2014 and has been in the top 25 on numerous occasions.

heres some extra credit.
look up Edward Bernays and learn how the world works
Goddamnit.
and why do teams constantly get players from colleges near by?Quote:
Broncos legend Ed McCaffrey's son Max signs as an undrafted free agent with the Raiders, while Navy fullback Will Swain signs as an undrafted free agent with the Chargers.
Why the hell do they gotta go with the division rivals, aka teams I hate!?
all this modern tech and the objective is to scout the best of the best and these teams cant do any better than down the street?
maybe because its obvious they want local fan interest? is the objective to sell a product or be the better team?
a Navy guy goes to a team in a city and its surrounding cities heavily populated by military personnel?
but yeah, you think its another perfect accident and lucky chance happening.
Quote:
But take a slightly closer look at you can see that the Warriors—and by extension, the Grizzlies—forced that 400+ number into being during Game 82. Curry hadn’t attempted more than 16 threes in a game all season…until Wednesday night. In that final contest, Curry put up 19 attempts. Number 400 didn’t drop until midway through the 3rd quarter (attempt number 15), and it took four more three-point shots to drain number 401 (attempt 19).
You don’t think someone on the Warriors bench knew what was what numbers-wise, and made sure Curry made his mark? And exactly how much did the Grizzlies exert themselves to (a) win the meaningless-to-them game and (b) stop Curry from three-point land?
The media had been covering Curry hitting 400 weeks in advance, was this guy in a Coma? Just another stupid article from that guy on both Curry and Kobe.
So one guy going to San Diego, who played in college in Maryland. Based on your logic why would he not just stay in that area and play for the Ravens or Redskins where more fans would know who he is? Ed's son Max played at Duke, not exactly right next door to Oakland. I only list these two because they were the ones you quoted and like any great conspiracy theorist, you offer no statistical information to make the point.
Heck look at the Draft
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_NFL_draft
You count all the players that went to a team right next to their college. Even the first pick. Berkley to LA is almost a 400 miles drive. Probably not a ton of Cal supporters in LA considering that you have USC and UCLA right there.
Jesus Christ what a dildo. :fp:
Also, even if all the teams do have super sophisticated scouting abilities, what schools do you think they see the most often? The local schools? Why? THEY'RE CLOSER! It's easier for the Saints to take a quick trip to Tulane and LSU then for them to fly to UMASS or Oregon. Yeah, they can watch film but coaches also like seeing people in the flesh. I see college coaches everyday these days as they come out to watch our practices and talk to our coaches about any potential current juniors going into their senior year in the fall.
another one dimensional,simplistic thought on your part.Quote:
baseballplyrmvp
So that obviously means the lakers will win a title, the Dodgers will win a WS, the Kings a Stanley Cup, and USC a National Championship all within the next 5 years too.
LA and he State of California already did that are in the process of doing that over the past 4 years.
They increased revenue with the Clippers,Sharks,Kings,Angels,Dodgers,Warriors,Gian ts,49ers,Ducks,A's, all succeeding and making playoffs over the last few years and going deeper in some cases.
this helps bring down the cost in some way for the elite while the Rams move here. It also means they knew years ago they were moving the Rams here anyway
Notice how the Lakers never stopped winning after the Rams left town before? of course you dont.
lol and the Blues just moved up another round while Missouri continues to get over losing the Rams.
the Royals, Blues, Chiefs all making playoffs the same year..and you still think it just happened?
the Blues winning is also the reward for the owner since he just purchased the Buffalo Bills
yep,thats right. You believe a guy comes back from a 3 week injury to have another fantastic miracle game finish like its nothing !
why dont you actually research how teams start winning in a short period of time when they move,Build a new stadium or get a new owner. It happens far to often to be a coincidence.
hell, they are throwing it right in your face with expansion teams making the playoffs when theyve barely existed 3 years.
The Sonics move to OKC and then all the sudden the Seahawks become a powerhouse.
the Sonics made the early round playoffs a lot but they move to OKC and all the sudden they end up in the finals?
the Lakers suck,so how convenient that the Clippers go deep in the playoffs. A reward for their wealthy new owner.
google a teams name and the word 'seasons' youll get the wiki of a teams entire win loss history. Its easy to see the paterns of when they win and lose in relation to moving or changing ownership etc
I thought Ram's activity here was a bit out of place as he had gone quiet.
It only took a few months but the guys at Chiefs Planet finally figured out that "Smellypits/Toby Walker" was actually you. Congrats on the ban. :up:
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=299785
Fascinating. Ram moves onto to making retarded claims about OKC, St. Louis and California, because his previous retarded claims about all the massive scale rigging that the NBA and NHL did to get a bunch of Texas teams into the playoffs lasted all of a couple weeks tops.:D
San Antonio? Gone.
Houston? Gone.
Dallas Mavericks? Gone.
Dallas Stars? Gone.
Yep, that sure was a good call by the NBA and NHL to rig their seasons to get all those teams in, just to have them lose!
I guess the NHL doesn't care about big market. They had Washington and the NY Islanders win. I know their just foaming at the mouth over those Pittsburgh-Tampa Bay ratings!
Man, the NBA is run by dumbasses. They had the perfect headline generator with Cleveland and Miami being set up to face each other, Lebron's original and now current home team against the team he ran away to but then left to come back home a couple years later.
I mean, damn, the headlines write themselves with that matchup! Instead we get Cleveland and Toronto. Woo hoo.
Same thing on the Western side. Everyone was drooling over a Golden State-San Antonio rematch. NBA would have been raking in money hand over fist with that matchup. Now they still end up alright because Oklahoma City has a huge following and is just under San Antonio in terms of national appeal, but not the exact same as GS-SA.
Lastly, apparently according to some morons, the only reason Denver won the Super Bowl was so Peyton could go out riding on top. Boy did the NBA fuck up an idea like that for Kobe! Not only has the Lakers not won a title since 2010 (6 years and counting), but instead of giving Kobe a title on his last season, the Lakers proceed to finish with the second worst record in the entire NBA this season and the fourth worst record in the entire NBA season last season. Talk about getting told to fuck off by the NBA script writers!

you have no answer for it. You have no logical explanation. You have no reason.
anything you sputter will just be a sports cliche with no real reason behind it.

What is of value? What isn't pure junk food news? And yet this website--and all the others out there--are being filled with this nonsense 24/7. Guys like Skip Bayless are now making $5 million a year. I'm not jealous. I wouldn't want his job. I wouldn't want to have to live tweet an NBA--or any other leagues'--playoff game. I wouldn't want to sell my soul to write any of these articles or watch hours of sports to find these video clips.
Look, I get it. Sports is entertainment. I'm the one who's made that argument on more than one occassion (but apparently to some, it's not entertainment enough for the leagues and networks to manipulate those events like every single other entertainment entity is). But this sort of sports coverage is not just a time-suck, it's a mind-waster. It's distraction at it's highest level.
And that just may be the point of it.
I've often said that today's sporting events are publicized for the same reason the gladitorial games were held in Rome: to distract the populace. While the people play, the government gets away (with murder). I don't believe that's an exaggeration.
To go down the "conspiratorial" rabbit hole for a moment, a fan (Tom, to be exact) recently alerted me to the following little nugget about sports. Seems a Dr. Richard Day, who was supposedly tied to the Rockefeller family, gave a speech back in 1969 detailing, for lack of a better description, how the New World Order was going to alter America in the coming decades. You can read the details of the entire speech here, but what I focused on was this small part of it:
fill in Kobes name with Lebron and its the Same thing. Its still an over hyped,over commercialed star player.
your Laker example is just dumb while bypassing that the clippers conveniently pick up the slack.
again, you are typically,childishly one dimensional.Everyone and their mother was counting on Golden State repeating. Thats the drama this time.
they are putting weaker less experienced teams against Cleveland so you have excuse for them winning the finals this time. and the league had no intention of putting Golden State on a greatest ever
list.
who said that was the only reason? I didnt.Quote:
Lastly, apparently according to some morons, the only reason Denver won the Super Bowl was so Peyton could go out riding on top.
but did they in fact make it possible for an aging guy who couldnt even throw a ball to win? yes they did.
furthermore..you just won the biggest game of your life and you stand there and say eat papa johns and buy budweiser as though reading from a script with no emotion?
your middle name is Sheep..Sheeppancakes.
I was wrong about Denver beating Seattle but look what happened. They did in fact give him a win before he retired. I was just 3 years ahead with my obvious commercially endorsed outcome for the yearly sports entertainment show called the nfl.
Which Fan Made NFL Forum Banned you this week? Might have to start signing up at trading card forums and use an alias? :hmm:
Oh wait you already did that and got banned there too!
Two days later and guess who is back to the one place not willing to ban you.
Look they even gave Steelerfan a shout out for his tirade against RAM.

So a superstar who is retiring, who some sports fan want to place equally right next to Michael Jordan on the list of greatest ever, is apparently equal to "just another season" for LeBron James, who still has another 3-5-7 years to play yet.
And instead of giving that Michael Jordan 2.0 a Championship title in his retiring year, apparently the Lakers being the third worst team in the league and LeBron James just being the playoffs in general is supposed to be just as good at placating the hurting masses of "name your bumfuck city here".
And yet we're the simple minded ones. I'm trying to figure out someone so stupid as ram can remember to fucking breathe without a constant reminder to do so.
Well,well, look at that.
The Sharks make the Stanley finals.
How the hell lucky can the SF, north Cal. Region be the last 3 years in every major sport?
But notice how they made sure they are playing a team the nhl fans are more interested in,Pittsburgh, than Tampa.
Can't have a Sharks vs Lightening series. That wouldn't get viewers
got to have a Star like Crosby in there.
