At any given moment there are about 30-50% of threads on this board that aren't card or memorabilia specific.
I know posting things for sale or advertising should certainly stay on the BST. But what are your thoughts on Sports related topics that aren't card or memorabilia specific being posted here?
I am more curious than anything. I will occasionaly post something about a player or team...IE: Bryce Harper, Jered Weaver when he was pitching like a machine and led to a no no, more recently two different posts regarding the NBA playoffs.
I like seeing others opinions, and sometimes the discussions get into cards and how an event will affect pricing. It's nice IMO to have that all under one roof.
Thoughts?
And let's keep this civil. Wait it is Friday and that might be a bit much to ask for as I am quite sure some beverages are in the process of being consumed.
Have a great night!

stuff like the Celtics/Heat series debate and the like, turns into card related content about Durant and Lebron cards, etc....as many of the other sports related topics often turn to. The first of the "prime" threads was great between Mantle/Mays and it was certainly card related.
I myself probably wouldn't open every thread if 12 threads were started on a random Tuesday night devoted to each and every MLB game, but that being said, I would certainly skip over the ones I didn't want to read. I get tired of all the butt pirates getting chapped over a thread that was clearly marked as OT or sports related when they could simply not open it but they choose to make arses of themselves by opening it and complaining.

Are you seriously this insecure?
It was a smarta$$ comment on a thread. Get over it.
We are sports geeks. This should be a place where we can post about what we all love.

Yes Craig I am extremely insecure, I'm working on it though with several mental coaches, psychologists and a lot of uppers. It's a work in progress. You've inspired me to be the best I can be. I like reading smartazz comments especially when you post them, it's quite helpful, TY.
In all seriousness your not the first person to post that there is a sports chat forum in a thread. I've seen others post it occasionally on other peoples threads to So it just sparked an honest interest as to what everyone thought, and yes you helped create that thought.

Sports talk belongs in a forum about sports cards? Then what is the "Sports Talk" forum for?

<< <i>I agree with Tommy. I do not read every new post that is started. If it interests me I will open and read. If I am not interested, I won't open. I don't understand why it is such a big deal......it's not something I really care to get upset or excited about. I prefer to focus my frustation on figuring out how to pay for my two daughters college and weddings.

My sentiments. If I'm interested I read and if not, I ignore it. Doesn't seem like anything to get bent out of shape about. IMO
<< <i>I look at it this way: If I am on here reading about cards and missing something happening in the sports world at same time, I appreciate another poster starting a thread about it. In other words, it is "one-stop shopping" for me in this forum. >>
Ezactly.

I have given this considerable thought. If I'm sideline reporting and get my pick............it's Mark Grace circa '93-'94. Arms that let you know you're being held. And no batting gloves.

What I've figured out is that my kids are on their own when it comes to paying for college. For the most part, their wedding also.

If you want to be taken seriously when talking ish around here, at least have the sack to do it from your real account.
If you're just going to hide behind your alt, you may as well have named it Maureen.

Why is it that when you're criticized, you drag out your cross and hang yourself on it? This is a sportscard and memorabilia forum, not a woe is me, pout like a child so that everyone who pities me will stand up for me and defend me forum.
you are right about one thing though, I wish the alts and whomever "tattled" on me like a little girl to Julio Jones, would have the sack to own up to what they say or do. If I have a problem with you or wish to make fun of you then I'll do it to your face.

Lol, I feel sorry for you Craig.

On a marginally related note, I cannot for the life of me comprehend why a new thread has to be started in the SC & M forum any time any person dies....... but if it must happen, I sincerely wish we could at least keep the "RIP" threads confined to people who had at least SOME connection to the sports world.

27 cents just coincidence? I think not.

I'm on the fence on this one. As long as there aren't a ton of them? No big deal. I would rather they stay in the other forum only since they can result in a flame war.
All and all, I'd like to see more people sharing what they're doing in the hobby - their man-caves - new pickups etc.
