One of those truly seminal moments* that justifies all the dumb shit involved in following sports.

See, I just posted a counter, which is that my office microwave DOES have a mute setting. But I often get trapped in office gossup/pleasantries and dont notice the end of the cycle, which means I sometimes have to double-nuke the dish into a limp soggy mess

Yeach, agreed too that this doesnt hurt the “league” overall. People just like to have these sort of flashpoints to justify confirmation biases. I know I succumb to the same thing so I dont think its necessarily a bad thing. Always easier to view it from a distance though.

I def agree with the larger point.

Shameful!

Whatever happened to RESPECT? Good, genteel gentleman playing a gentleman’s game in a gentlemanly fashion. I blame the YouTube.

Too late, Googled it, dead now.

So is this criticism of him the British form of “you’re not playing the right way”?

Update: Have Googled. Not fit for this world, anymore. Goodbye, all.

...I said about almost nothing in my life to date.

Some days more than others.

Wasn’t this also basically the plot of the Super Mario Bros. movie?
