Yeah, he just has his friends host a game, they quit and he wins. What a fricking waste of time.

Nope

same here. I almost didn't go into this thread cause I knew all the Halo haters(retards) were going to be total assholes.

But anyways, SHAME ON YOU!!!! If MJ could see you know, he would look away in disgrace.

Do you mean the same Michael Jordan who will do anything to win? He's applaud this I'm sure, especially after all of his silly gambling stories like the following.

At an airport, he bet them his luggage would come out before anyone else's luggage. Everyone agreed. He won. He had bribed the luggage handlers.

That's because you don't understand the dominance-in-man-form that is Gilbert Arenas.

....

Ok ok, it's kinda getting old now.

Oh, sorry Vegeta.

You can know who he is and still find this to be a non-story. I found it a little interesting, but I can see where someone would not care.

Because the only thing more useless than esoteric video game knowledge, is esoteric sports knowledge.

So... you're putting down people who don't follow sports because some of them put down people who do follow sports? Seems a little hypocritical
And just because people don't know who Gilbert Arenas is doesn't mean they don't follow pro sports. It just means that they don't follow American basketball, which is an entirely different thing.

There's nothing wrong with following professional sports, but it's far from as normal as you seem to believe. At least, to the degree you're suggesting.

Also, following sports or even participating in sports does not make you a "well rounded" person, it makes you a person that likes sports. There are no "well rounded" people, because to be well-rounded you have to like everything, or at least fake liking everything, and this is impossible. At the very least, it makes you a culture whore.

One more thing: "I really do not understand dudes who don't follow sports." So you believe that all people should enjoy watching other people play a game? Or reading about the scores from their game? Or listening to other dudes on HBO/FOX/whatever talk about their game?

I really don't understand people who give a flying fuck what a bunch of uniformed, overpaid ball-dribblers do.

See, it works both ways =P.

Following professional sports is indeed a sign of a well rounded individual. I learned a lot about what African Americans went thought due to Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier, following the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB 's economic structure really teaches a lot about regulated free markets and laise-faire free markets, following stats and running a fantasy team to the top does have its incentives. I must have worded it wrong when I said I don't understand dudes who don't follow sports, but what I should have said is I don't understand dudes who put down those who follow professional sports because there is an inherent nerdiness about following sports or participating in them.
