You know Deborah, if you are reading this, and any of the other sports
conferences that Ed posts in, you would know that you weren't being
singled out with that type of opening header line. Ed uses those pretty
much on everyone. I've been posting/lurking here for a few years now,
and you are the first person of the hundreds that Ed communicates with
that took offense. So, really, quit being so sensitive, and rethink that
part of it, anyway.

How in the world was Ed to know that? And why would it make a
difference, anyway? He was being sarcastic, for gosh sakes.
 and I HOP
>>THE MODERATOR SEES THIS!
Me, too. Hope he tells you to calm down, fer chrissakes.
ou have too much of an obvious love for the game, and too much knowledge
to let this type of stuff affect you this way.
 There is a big difference between debating and
>>insults and THIS is an insult!!
You took it that way, anyway. Everyone else would have seen it for what
it was; Ed using a sarcstic remark to prove a point. It is effective
discussion tactic, and sometimes, the more outlandish the remark, the
more the point tends to be driven home.

You were there at the negotiating table, Deborah? I think there was an
awful lot more to that situation than what was publicly stated.
>>YES, Michael Jordan did say JUST THAT! I heard it, my friend heard
it... I >>also read it in the papers. How DARE you accuse me of making

words come out of his mouth. Of course, >>why don't you just respond
that I was on LSD at the time?!?! *snarl*
And you believe everything in the papers, huh? And every word that comes
from a celebrity. Yeah, and Clinton had no sexual relations with
Monica......
It was in the paper. And he said it.....

Larry never played during a time when his talents would have commanded
that money. If he were in his prme today, you can bet that is what he
would be asking for.

So

I hope you have a better day today, Deborah. Obviously, he caught you at
a baaaaaad time....
