which is worse: sports or rock star wannabe's that fail

both can be quite annoying i've met minor league baseball players who thought they were on top of the world but end up washing dishes. have also known a lot of music people wannabe's who were pretty pathetic, and ended up being so. with both, if the first contract comes in, you're golden, if no contract than both are simple little wannabe minions who need their daddies. the worst off though i'd say are the wannabe rock stars. '5 album contracts' don;t even pay anything until 4th album. sports guys, if signed, get the bucks.

excuse this inquiry, am getting rid of a britney griner stupid post as it keeps coming back. and being reminded of griner when coming here is also annoying. eeeeeeeeeeeeeck.

    What kind of comments are you looking for?...there's barely any NBA discussion on this board, so I suspect I'll be the only reply to this thread.

    I'm not a fan of the WNBA, but I did hear this:

    She's the first WNBA player to ever dunk twice in the same game.

    She also ties 2 others for "most career slam dunks", with 2.

    What you are suggesting is rather ridiculous--in American sports culture, there is no way that a person can be a national prospect in high school, a star in college at a major university, and then get into a professional sports organization and not be the gender they represent.

    Athletes are required to get official physicals starting before high school, and team doctors are part of every level of college, and I'm sure the professional sports teams also have a full staff of medical professionals looking after their team.

    I have a hard time believing this could be a "legit inquiry". Maybe you just never played any sports--I remember having to get my first doctor's physical along with every other kid in our city who wanted to play little league baseball.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    What Phoenix area 'daily local sports news' source supports this?

    So if a guy was born NOT to play in the NBA, should he be allowed to play in the WNBA? What about the Lingerie League instead of the NFL?

    Maybe you should stop getting your 'daily local sports news' from Reddit.

    Agreed. speaking of idiots....

    Just a few workout tips for my PSA family that I know you will all appreciate. I call it WINNING:

    I usually begin my workouts with a 10 minute flexing routine in front of the nearest, available, full-length mirror. Then, I carefully scan the ENTIRE workout area fervently looking for the littlest lifter in the place. I quickly make my way over to him (or her) and thoroughly outlift him, station by station, as he moves through his entire routine. I really haven't improved much strength-wise, but my self-esteem is through the roof!!!! Try it. It works. The look of abject defeat on some of these little kids is priceless. You're welcome. I just wanted to get this thread back to a reasonable track!
