coupla things i didn't flash on the first time, such as:
did you guys notice the swoopes jersey (ever so carefully) draped on the chair behind chance while he was being interviewed? what was up with that?
and speaking of chance, he remarked that folks were expecting him to take a guard, but he was gonna take the best player available . . . was that him being ornery just to spite the world? and why didn't he take a point guard? his own answer to that sounded like he was gonna just "go fish."
did anyone else notice that annie meyers spoke out of turn about the feenstra trade? she was talking about sass and said something about feenstra, before it was supposed to have been announced.

| Also noticed they put Tan White's stats up as McCarville's stats. You'd think they could get the first pick's stats correct.

| Did you notice the video on the tv in the Phoenix war room BEFORE their pick was announced? I knew before the announcement that they were taking Sandora just by that video.

| Not true, Kelli. They were watching tape of both players until the very end.

| The last player on the video before they cut away to announce the pick was Sandora Irvin. I made the call based on that and I was right.

And I was IN THE ROOM. There were tapes of both players. They were looking at both.

Once again you fail to see the forest for the trees.
It DOESN'T matter what you saw in the ROOM!!! I could care less what you saw in the room. I obviously wasn't in the room so you should know that I'm only talking about (and the thread is about) what was seen on TV. I didn't tape the draft, so I am only going on what I saw and that was ONLY Sandora Irvin on the video just before they cut away and made the announcement.
I guess thie one good thing about this is that it's keeping you from finding some more innocent-til-proven-guilty people to call homophobic.

Auburn forward Louise Emeagi had to contend with Ely and complimented her presence, albeit in a rather unflattering manner.
"I know I struggled big time covering Ely,'' Emeagi said. "Her booty is just so big. I've never seen anything like it. She was able to box me out and I wasn't able to do anything about it.''

I think he was just saying that what you interpreted as significant, based on the small snippet you saw on the ESPN2 broadcast, was not in any way indicative of which player was to be chosen first. It was merely a coincidence that one player's image was shown rather than the other when they cut away.
It's good for this board - and nosy people like me - that people like Cam can go places we can't, and are willing to share their experiences. We should be grateful, not angry.
BTW, I fail to see what Jerry Falwell's role is in this matter.

Then Cam needed to say that. Not come back that I was wrong and that they were watching tape of two players up until the end.

First, I think that it was because I had made Cam look like a fool in a thread he had started about Falwell, that he attacked me in this one.
http://boards.rebkell.net/viewtopic.php?t=1497
Second, I had said that Cam had failed to see the forest for the trees, and the Falwell thread is another example of that.
Third, you didn't specify what you didn't understand in my response, so I covered everything. Everything included Falwell.

It went noticed. I took that as a subtle way of showing that she's staying, so season ticketholders can come back.

i took it the same way, albeit not so subtle.

I actually think that he was saying that, but you weren't willing to hear him.
And I don't think Cam looked at all like a fool in that ancient thread.

FWIW, there were two jerseys laid out behind The Candyman.

Kelli, you said you knew Phoenix was taking Irvin based on what you saw on television (TV in Merc War Room). My point was that they were looking at both players, and the decision was made AFTER tapes were viewed.
What you cannot see is that I was pointing out they were looking at both players. If Phoenix took Braxton with Irvin on in the background, what would you have said?

Apparently if you read the thread, you are the only one who believes that.
No one attacked you. My point was what you saw on television was only a small snapshot of what was going on.
As for everything else, I think Inky and PUMatty have said it best in this thread.

I posted a simple observation. Cam is the one that was bitchy about it.

If Cam had SAID that, it would have ben different. He didn't. I didn't know that he was in the room. And even though he was, it has nothing to do with what was seen on TV. He didn't know what was shown on ESPN2 so he should hase stayed out of it.
Trust me, he looked like a fool. Everyone I've asked about it...to see if I was missing something or not seeing a bigger picture , has said that his was a very narrow-minded view of things (I'm being nice here.)
Edit portion:
And you only 'THINK" that's what he meant. You support him and don't even know what he was trying to say!!

What does it matter how many players Phoenix was looking at prior to making a decision? They could have been loking at 100 players before making a decision and it would have no effect on what I saw on TV and what my post was about. Which would make your first post pointless (other than to take a shot at me).

I would have said that I was wrong. I would have felt bad for Sandora's friends and family if they had also seen it and thought that she was going to be taken next and then wasn't.
If Phoenix had taken Kara instead of Sandora then I wouldn't have posted about what I saw in this thread either, would I? It wouldn't have anything to do with what this thread is about would it? Just like what you saw in the war room had nothing to do with what this thread (or my post) was about, did it?

I believe in the silent majority. And I know for a fact that I'm not the only one that thought that you were wrong in that thread.

You did.

Wouldn't that be obvious?? Do you think that I'm stupid?? There were 4-10 people in each war room that I saw on TV. My post was simply about what was seen on TV. I thought that it was interesting that the tape was showing Sandora. That's all. Phoenix would have to be stupid to not be doing their last minute work and/or assuming that Sandora was the only player they were going to take. What if she wasn't available when it was their turn?? OOF COURSE they were looking at other players. I don't think that they're stupid. My comment was about 2 seconds of TV time. Why don't you understand that??
[quote/]As for everything else, I think Inky and PUMatty have said it best in this thread. |
I've already adressed that comment in messages to them.

I'm going to jump in here....could it be that BOTH of you are right? I mean these 'feeds' from the War Rooms seemed to be on some sort fo delay, like they were all being fed from a video phone, rather than plain ole via satellite. That Mike Irvin image was so delayed it wasn't funny...it also seemed that way in the Merc war room, the Comets' and even Trudi Lacey's bunker.

They also had a Number 7 Jersey draped over a chair...I thought it odd as well, but maybe they just needed to remember that those are two of the key players for whom they were getting support.
It would have been nice to see a Number 9 Jersey and a brand new NUMBER 24 Jersey, but I think the Comets did a good job in this draft.
