What the actual ####?

Right?

 

[GroveDiesel]

I just want to know who was on the homie list. :crossingfingers:

I just want to know who was on the homie list. :crossingfingers:

It's in his sig. You are not on it! You know (I think) that I like you!

Holy crap. I can't believe I actually turned on sigs to see that list of pablum.

Suck a #### eminence.

 

[Eminence]

The following message, entitled "You're a #####", was sent to me at 9:38 p.m. PDT yesterday by...you guys get to guess:

Sugar coat it all you want but you were just being a #####. Have fun in fantasy land, toots.

For a guy that thinks one can sue a message board when people are mean to him, this is an interesting approach.

I am a fan of the word "toots", though; would like to see it make a comeback.

Listen, Emmie, I know you're just a kid but don't know much else about you other than you appear to be very highly disliked around here. But you needn't give up. Hell, Woz was once disliked so much that someone offered to pay him to leave, and he's practically an elder statesman here now. You probably just need to relax and grow up a little. Oh, and get laid. I'd imagine you probably need that, too.

And as I'm never one to sugarcoat (where in hell did you get that idea?), I'll reaffirm that your homies list sucks. They might be great people, but two are terrible posters and the rest I've never heard of. So add that to the list--get better homies--and maybe you can get on the right track here. All is not lost.

I've blocked PMs now, so you can be a man and address me here if you feel the need to engage.

Listen sweetie, I know you're trying to be tough but I actually have mad respect for the people on my homies list.You took a personal shot at me and the few people like DocHoliday who is actual a genuinely nice person and when everyone was giving me childish insults (like you telling me my homies list sucked).

The people on my homies list showed the capacity to be decent human beings.

But you ran your mouth about something you knew NOTHING about. Even admitting you knew NOTHING about.

I was actually about to add Henry Ford to that list, does he suck too?

My entire gripe with you taking a personal shot at me was that you were doing it in a frail attempt to be one of the cool kids and join the mob mentality.

The exact opposite of what the people on my homies list have done; poetic justice, no?

And isn't it funny, you blocked PMs from me.

Sweetheart, men tackle their problems face to face. I had a problem, I messaged you. I didn't derail a thread about lawyers like you've done twice now.

 

[Henry Ford]

You're a waste of ones and zeros.

 

[Henry Ford]

The best part of course being that now that he has threatened litigation, his thread can't be deleted. Have to preserve evidence in anticipation of litigation.

 

[Henry Ford]

And lest it not be obvious yet, you could spend the rest of your life rescuing puppies from storm drains and teaching blind kids how to copy the Renaissance master works, and no one but your mother would like you better than we like Krista.

Well now you'll never make the homies list.

Could I get a ruling? I thought this was a thread for lawyers, not a thread about them.

So, no respect for your elders or your betters, no ability to learn from your mistakes, and no ability to shut up, listen, and learn.

Here's a parable, do with it what you will.

One day a young fledgling not yet quite strong enough to migrate south got caught in an ice storm. Freezing and miserable it chirped out complaints and whined for help. A cow heard the commotion and came on bye. Being a cow its ability to help was limited, but the cow did what it could. It knocked the bird from the branch onto the ground, took a big, steamy, warm dump on the bird and then left.

For a time the bird was warm, refreshed, and safe from the storm in the huge cow pie, but eventually that only gave it the strength to start whining about the stench. A fox heard the whining and trotted on bye. The fox delicately, so as to not get #### in its mouth, plucked the bird from the feces. The fox shook it off and let the freezing rain wash away the rest of the dung, and then the fox gobbled the bird down for a satisfying meal.

The moral here is threefold. First, in life those who toss a little dung on you are not necessarily trying to hurt you. Second, those that help you out of a mess are not necessarily trying to help you. Third, and maybe most relevant to you, when you are up to your nose in ####, keep your mouth shut.

 

[Instinctive]

This is seriously already in my top 10 all time favorite threads.

Also, not all young posters are idiots. Some of us can be a bit arrogant (sorry) and naive, but don't let Eminence give all of us a bad name.

More on topic: Have any of you ever tried to go into sports agency? Like Dan Fegan?

Would have been an upset if I had made the list since I think I was among the first kind of mocking the whole thing. Although, to be fair, I thought it was so bad that I truly believed it was schtick.

But he voluntarily has stayed on the board and sent krista that pm. Makes sense I guess, coming from the guy who described his lack of a gambling problem with the definition of one.

I don't think you understand. I made a post simply asking, "if I wanted to pursue legal action against Footballguys who would I summons? Would I summons the admins who refuse to lock / delete the thread or go directly to the owner Joe Bryant?"

In response to this inquiry, Krista decided to take a stab at my "homies list" telling me that "they suck". That's a mature response from a respectable women in regards to my serious legal inquiry in a lawyer thread.

Then, in an effort not to derail the lawyer thread I message Krista personally to give her my insight on the situation. Then in another mature move by the respectable and 'popular' Krista, she posted the Personal Message in this thread further detracting it from it's primary discussion.

So let's just move on, Krista I forgive you for feeling empowered behind the anonymity of a computer.

 

[mr roboto]

Go away. Such an attention whore. Please pick a different board. You are ruining this one.

 

[Otis]

Well, this is going swimmingly.

Such a dbag. It really is a wonder you can remember to breathe.

[drummer]

They should had kept that other thread unlocked.

 

[Eminence]

Everyone take note, nobody actually used logic to dispute my last post. They resulted to insults that skirted around the actual issue. Funny that given the chance to put me down in a lawyer thread one would think they would use logic; actually makes the whole situation extra enjoyable for me.

Well that's the first time that worked out for you.

What school would I go to if I wanted to be this kind of lawyer?

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

I don't think you understand. I made a post simply asking, "if I wanted to pursue legal action against Footballguys who would I summons? Would I summons the admins who refuse to lock / delete the thread or go directly to the owner Joe Bryant?"

In response to this inquiry, Krista decided to take a stab at my "homies list" telling me that "they suck". That's a mature response from a respectable women in regards to my serious legal inquiry in a lawyer thread.

When you asked where to serve a summons, that was a serious legal inquiry?

Then, in an effort not to derail the lawyer thread I message Krista personally to give her my insight on the situation.

When you called Krista a "#####" and "toots," that was you giving her your insight?

Come on, man.

I know you take a lot of crap from people on this board, so your defensiveness is understandable. But you're not blameless. Your posting style invites attention -- I believe that's on purpose -- and then you seem to overreact to any perceived slights. The thing with Krista is a good example.

You didn't ask for my advice, but if I may offer some... When a thread doesn't go the way you want it to, just relax and take a deep breath and realize that the FFA is actually not Serious Business. People are going to have their fun, and some of them can be jerks. Don't respond in kind. Don't get sucked into mutual name-calling. Don't let people get a rise out of you. Eventually, they'll get bored and will stop trying.

 

[Christo]

What school would I go to if I wanted to be this kind of lawyer?

Nova

 

[Otis]

Em, can we get a video response here?

 

[Don Quixote]

What school would I go to if I wanted to be this kind of lawyer?

Serious answer: Ole Miss. They have a space law journal.

That means "it doesn't go" in Spanished.

I have a friend who is a lawyer and works for Boras. If you're really interested, shoot me a PM and I can try to hook you guys up.

PM'd. In the past year, I don't know that there has been a more supportive sub-group of people in all of FBG than the LawyerGuys.

 

[Zow]

Eminence, you're at least like the third guy that I can recall who has called krista "toots" in the midst of an ispat. Yours truly went that route something like seven years ago.

Get some new ####.

 

[drummer]

Woz was the old Eminence?

Woz was the old Eminence?

Nah Woz was just a kid. Em is trying to be a doosh.

 

[mr roboto]

Em, I won't engage your PM. Not worth my time, sorry. If I thought you would actually listen, maybe. Please just go away.

 

[Henry Ford]

Em, I won't engage your PM. Not worth my time, sorry. If I thought you would actually listen, maybe. Please just go away.

Thank you, Mr. Roboto. Feel free to rough him up a bit on the way out.

 

[FattyVM]

This thread went into the weeds quick.

 

[Henry Ford]

This thread went into the weeds quick.

An excellent example of how a non lawyer screws things up. I see it every day.

 

[mr roboto]

I agree with Todd Andrews, NCCommish, Christo, roboto, Henry Ford, drummer, Otis, and Yankee23fan

I just wanted to say that, since I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to again

Eminence brings us all together in our disdain for him.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Wtf just happened to our thread?

This.

TRANSCRIPT

Hello, this is Eminence from FootballGuys.com, and first and foremost, I would like to thank every one of you that follows me on Twitter. I think there’s 11 of you in total right now. So I’m pretty stoked about that. Hopefully I’ll get 20, 25 by the end of next month.


Ummmm.

I guess I should address this whole gambling thing. Some of you think I have a gambling problem and I’m telling you, I don’t. Because here’s why I don’t have a gambling problem. About a month ago, I started with fifty bucks. Ten. Ten. Ten. Ten. Ten. Fifty bucks. And I turned that $50, doubled it up by making smart bets, I turned that $50 into $585. Now, if I had the willpower to walk away at that point, everyone would be thinking that I was the man. But I lost it trying to get it to $1000.

So, someone with a gambling problem wouldn’t have been able to turn that $50 into $585. I mean, since then, I’ve lost well over $500. Gambling. But ya see, I only gambled that money because of past production. I turned $50 into $585 and I was one play away from turning $50 into $1000. So, I have absolutely got burned but most importantly if you follow my Twitter, I have enough money to pay for school. I’ll have to liquidate some of my stock portfolio to keep myself above water but, ahhh, besides that things are good.

I’ve hung out with that chick again for the other thread and things are slowly progressing. I’m not going for the bang, ummm, like you guys might like talking about this beating around chicks and banging them. I want to be nice and, ahhh, treat this girl correctly, hang out with her, you know? Maybe, ahhhh, cook her spaghetti or something, I don’t know what girls like. It’s not going to be very hard to impress her.

Ummm, but beyond that, ummm, I plan, I’m moving out of my parent’s house in June. And, ummm, just keep, ahhh, keep an eye out. I think I have some surprises for you guys. Some very, very, very cool surprises. I might be started my own website but you know let’s not let this rumor get outta control and whatnot.

So, smart. This video sucks. I just figured I had to give you some sort of update and, ahhh, Twitter’s kinda limited and, ahhh, there’s a bunch of jagoffs posting at FootballGuys.com. Or at least they wanna be a tough guy because I’m perceived as a troll or some kinda of idiot that you can all make fun of. But guess what? I’m talking to you and you can’t say anything now. And you’re watching my video. So I must be pretty flippin’ cool.

So, that’s all and I’m actually already late for work. There’ll be more videos up here in the future. And I do plan, I definitely do plan on giving you guys Bears training camp updates. So, you might as well get ready to start following this YouTube channel too. Because this is all Eminence, all the time.

Rats off to you.
