Re: OT: 30 for 30 on ESPN: "Without Bias"
I heard that as soon as the news that Bias was dead was announced the equiment manager took all his stuff and locked it away. I saw Adrieane Branch in a local food store about 5 years ago. I went running up to him and offered him $200 for one of his gold Maryland gamers. He took my number and was very friendly, but I never heard from him. The Bias warm up that is in Huggins and Scott is from his senior season, and from the photos on the web site looks real.

Re: OT: 30 for 30 on ESPN: "Without Bias"
Because, Ken, mine are nothing more than attempts to make light of the rediculous posts that occur here in certain instances.
Yours, like a few others here, are mean-spirited and attacking....just like Joel's were but in a differnt vein. He would always try to find an argument even when he was obviously just taking the wrong side of reality to argue. He was a pain in the ass, rediculously presenting an argument for the "violator", if you will.
I try to instill common sense in people, especially when it relates to game used memorabilia. From the start of my days on the forum, I have found myself taking on the deceiving misrepresenting word-mincing borderline-criminal less-than-professional-and-friendly auction houses, and then had to endure the second wave from my fan club here.
So get a tissue and wipe away your tears, Ken. It's time to grow up a bit and understand that we all have a right to air out our opinions. But the message from the top is clear; If you want to cause problems, you will be squashed.

Re: OT: 30 for 30 on ESPN: "Without Bias"
In this program, there is a great shot of Bias and his teammates wearing the same style warm-up that I have. If anyone has the capabilities, I would appreciate a screen-shot (it appears close to the beginning of the show). You will make a new friend!
It also appears this team photo is from an early 80s Maryland media guide or basketball yearbook. Does anyone have a collection of media guides from this era? Again, sincere thanks for any efforts.

Once again, the cogency of your posts is predicated upon perceiving the world as you do. Using such loaded terms like "reality" and "common sense", you assume that your worldview embodies what is objectively real and apparent to all.
If we can even assume that your opinions embody "common sense", I would argue that such explanations are not a given. Every time I have brought the matter up, you ignore me. This leads me to wonder - can you form a convincing argument, or do you have any desire to do as such?
Or are you so convinced of the truth of your opinions that you don't feel the need to defend them? Last night, I asked you to convince me of your supposedly "common sense" notion of "responsibility". You never put forward an honest effort; instead you call me stupid.
I am left to wonder: if not to convince others, why do you post? Even after I have challenged your notions of "responsibility" and "common sense", you still spew similar rhetoric, as if I never said anything. This is not talk radio; it's civil conversation.
It's one thing to have strong opinions. I do myself, on certain topics. However, when I am asked to provide reasons for my beliefs, I can and do explain why I think the way I do. I have asked you numerous times to rethink your ideas of what "common sense" and "responsibility" are.
You don't have to agree with me. But in the interest of having a fair discussion about such topics, you need to at least consider what I have to say. So far - all you have done is repeat yourself, while attacking others. That's no way to convince anybody.Les Zukor

Re: OT: 30 for 30 on ESPN: "Without Bias"
I just had a fair discussion, on your behalf and request. I didn't "attack".....I "commented". You don't need to be so harsh in your descriptions of YOUR perceptions. If calling Joel an asshole was an attack in your eyes, then so be it. In mine, I was accurate. He probably would even agree because he knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. He chose to be that way.
My last comment is simple: I am not trying to convince anybody of anything. People will draw their own conclusions on what is presented to them. I guess that's how we all determine what level of "common sense" an individual has, and by their ability is to absorb true REALITY when it presents itself. Based on their conclusions, everyone can make up their own mind who has common sense, and who doesn't. I, quite frankly, don't care enough to argue this point any longer.

Being able to rethink one's notions of common sense and responsibility is an important skill. I am not asking you to change your opinions; I just want you to comprehend where I'm coming from. Sitting down and taking the time to understand people might give you some more empathy. That way, you would be less apt to call people names.
Do you want me be accepting of gay marriage, even though I think they deserve the same rights as married couples?
Do you want me to engage in conversations with convicted murderers via US mail?
Do you want me to accept YOUR notion of reality as MY reality??? Um, NO THANKS. You continue to do as you see fit, and I'll continue to do as I do. We can still co-exist.Les Zukor
