Ramblings of Mad Men: Max and Matt talk Nintendogs, Florida's Sports Ineptitude, Football, East vs. West Coast, the Civil War, Legalizing Gambling, and the Great Gatsby

Maxplatypus: Matthew, Nintendogs sold 23 million!
SaberTooth313: That's unbelievable.  There's a lot of stupid people.  That's insane.  Uncharted 2 sold like 4 or 5 million. 
Maxplatypus: You gotta think of kids and the women. 
SaberTooth313: That right there totally invalidates sales as any indication of anything. 
Maxplatypus: That's what I was saying when I was like top isn't always the best.  But we also have to take our bias out, at least as much as we can. 
SaberTooth313: It's very difficult when Nintendogs is involved.
Maxplatypus: Hahaha, well yea, but I mean why do people play games?  I would say for fun and I think I'm backed up by Nintendogs.
SaberTooth313: I would say to escape their boring life and be a dog. 
Maxplatypus: Hahaha. 

SaberTooth313: What do you want to talk about?
Maxplatypus: I dunno and I may actually have to do work today.
SaberTooth313: No you can't do work we need to ramble on (Led Zeppelin Reference).
"When asked if Miami is the worst professional sports town, Barkley, who reiterated his admiration of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, said: "Yeah they have the worst fans. No question. It's not even loud in there. You're at the game and you are like, 'Man this place isn't even loud.' At least when you go to Chicago, it's loud in there, it's crazy down in Dallas but it's not even loud in Miami."  - Charles Barkley.  Thoughts?
Maxplatypus: Florida is a terrible place for sports.
SaberTooth313: Yes it is.
Maxplatypus: Either everyone doesn't care or they are just too old to know where they are.
SaberTooth313: Exactly.  There's no reason for them to have any professional sports teams.  They'd be fine with just college football.
Maxplatypus: True.

SaberTooth313: Speaking of which, what do you think about Pryor not returning to college? Where is he going?
Maxplatypus: Pro, supplemental draft.
SaberTooth313: Hmm, interesting.
Maxplatypus: Probably the best thing for him cause there is no way he will start soon.
SaberTooth313: I thought he should have gone pro anyways after this year.  Yeah that's true. 
Maxplatypus: Cause Cam Newton is kinda screwed in Carolina. 
SaberTooth313: Yeah he is.  He'll start after about 4 games and ruin his career. 
Maxplatypus: Well he won't have time to learn. 
SaberTooth313: Most quarterbacks need at least a year or 2.
Maxplatypus: He will either be legit or not.
SaberTooth313: The ones that start right away don't usually work out.
Maxplatypus: No Flacco time. 
SaberTooth313: What do you mean by Flacco time?  Did he sit for a while before starting?
Maxplatypus: Just being babied. 
SaberTooth313: Yeah and Flacco isn't even that good.
Maxplatypus: They controlled him too much. 
SaberTooth313: Its just that Baltimore doesn't even know what a decent quarterback looks like, too much Trent Dilfer.  Back to Florida for a minute, they really shouldn't have any teams.  Jaguars, Panthers, Lightening, Heat, and Marlins.  All of them except maybe the Heat have terrible attendance. 
Maxplatypus: Rays.
SaberTooth313: Oh man.  How do they have 6 teams?  That's ridiculous.
Maxplatypus: Orlando.
SaberTooth313: Wow.  I don't know the teams that well lol.  They have the same amount of teams as NY.  Knicks, Mets, Yankees, Islanders, Rangers, Giants, Jets. 
Maxplatypus: The Nets soon too. 
SaberTooth313: Yeah I know.
Maxplatypus: NY should have more teams. Dodgers. 
SaberTooth313: Don't forget Florida loves Tebow too.  They don't deserve anything.  The Dodgers and the Giants should still be in New York.  That would be great.
Maxplatypus: We are so east coast haha. 
SaberTooth313: Haha.  So what?  All the west coast people are living such great, easy, sunny lives.  They don't care or need sports.
Maxplatypus: Psst give me a nice old brick house and a cocktail, they can keep the beach and the Corona. 
SaberTooth313: Haha yep.  You forget to mention the snow.  Change it to give me spiked hot chocolate and a space heater.
Maxplatypus: Boom haha. 
SaberTooth313: Haha.  Why did you say boom?  Who was I insulting?  I was just speaking the truth. 
Maxplatypus: Boom meaning yes.
SaberTooth313: Yes.  The east coast has all the tradition, that's what means something.  Original 6 teams for hockey.  Original teams and uniforms for baseball.  Basketball has Celtics, 76ers, Knicks, Lakers are the only west coast team.  For football, the west coast has like the 49ers and the Cowboys.
Maxplatypus: Gross cowboys.
SaberTooth313: But aside from that, east has Green Bay, Pittsburgh, New England, Philadelphia, Minnesota, and NY.  Basically just take the east coast and LA from every sports and drop the in-between.
Maxplatypus: Haha, east coast counts Chicago right?
SaberTooth313: Yes haha.  So I'm not totally geographically correct.  More the north, all the union states.  How about that?  Punishment for losing the Civil War. 
Maxplatypus: Oh yea and punishment for not existing yet. 
SaberTooth313: Yeah, we should base everything off of 1865 landlines right?
Maxplatypus: Then we would be a state haha. 
SaberTooth313: If it was good enough for Honest Abe why isn't it good enough for us?  We wouldn't be a state you mean. 
Maxplatypus: Wait, when were we a state? Hahaha.
SaberTooth313: Haha I'm not sure.  I thought you, Mr. history major, knew.  Wouldn't it be more fun to be a territory anyway?  No laws, then we could gamble on sports.   
Maxplatypus: Fuck American history, if it ain;t slavery, it ain't shit haha.  All I wanna do is bet on sports and do it easily.
SaberTooth313: Exactly.  And your view of American history is refreshing.
Maxplatypus: Hahahahaha. 
SaberTooth313: Why is betting on sports illegal?  Can't people do what they want with their money?  It's not hurting/disturbing anyone.  Can't someone sue saying they need to for health reasons like medical marijuana?
Maxplatypus: Barney Frank is making the push to legalize it again, it was till 2003 when it became illegal online. 
SaberTooth313: Oh man, we need to get out there and protest. 
Maxplatypus: It was in a bill about port security.
SaberTooth313: Ah of course, that makes sense.  Can't we make some case that it's better to just legalize it because people get hurt doing it illegally?
Maxplatypus: For all things illegal. 
SaberTooth313: Hahaha.  I wouldn't go that far.  We still need to enforce parking laws.
Maxplatypus: Well I mean with drugs, prostitution, gambling and so on.
SaberTooth313: Ah, the grand theft auto laws.
Maxplatypus: Like how people hate free needle exchange even though its soo much safer for everyone. 
SaberTooth313: Yeah.  Well that's just the way it is… some things will never change.

Maxplatypus: Most people have their ideas and don't care about the facts.  Some men just want to watch the world burn.  Other men just want to play Nintendogs. 

SaberTooth313: Hahaha.  Thank you Shigeru Cain. 

 

Maxplatypus: Hahaha I love that Batman quote. 
SaberTooth313: I know.
Maxplatypus: Haha man I'm good.
SaberTooth313: Just before that I was quoting a song.
Maxplatypus: Hahaha.  I'm starting to read the Great Gatsby again. 
SaberTooth313: Nice. 
Maxplatypus: 20 pages in, I hated it the first time. I also was retarded back then. 
SaberTooth313: Well yeah, you were pretty stupid.  You didn't know how to dress, some things apparently do change. 
Maxplatypus: Hahah, cant change the past. 
SaberTooth313: See Alyson "airhead" Ponto.
Maxplatypus: Both of us.
SaberTooth313: Hahaha I know, that's what I was going to say next.
