oh right us commenters take this too seriously, and he is just here for entertainment value, yet if we don't find it entertaining, clever, or well written, he will defend his logical points with every person who does not share his same view.

That's basically how I see it. If he wants to try blogging, fine, but he should read more of the comments and post way less.

This is sweet. Let's see how they match up.

And what'd you say earlier in this thread? "I am the furthest thing from a troll."


Yeah, ok then.

It's fairly easy to tell James is young. I think his only real downfall is as Jeropotato pointed out, write the blogs, don't get so involved in the discussion if you can't stay objective about it.

As I pointed out earlier, over opinionated and bias bloggers tend to leave true logic and merit behind when they start trying to defend their points of view. James likes to play devils advocate more times than not supporting the least popular views and angles in his blogs strictly in order to perpetuate trolls and nay sayers frequenting them. Then he likes to dig in and take them on whether he's right or wrong.

And this is where I can agree with James, his work is self admittedly more for entertainment value than it is for solid factual content and reality. There does seem to be a place for this type of work here at HB, we've seen it before and I'm sure we'll see it again long after James is gone on to bigger and better things.

I pretty much figured this one out after the first few pieces he wrote, and that is that he's just another hits seeker, no more no less. Take his work at face value boys and the rest will fall into place.

Being young doesnt explain why his blogs are bad. I'm young and mine are decent...

It's where he brings opinion into a blog that is bad... Wherr older people make mistakes as well *cough* Clouts *cough*

Also responding to comments doesn't help

I wasn't implying that his youth has anything to do with his writing. More so the way he handles himself.

Y'all take this too seriously. I am just having fun, I like to interact with the readers, I think most appreciate it. Do I get a little snarky from time to time? Sure, but whatever.

So don't get your panties in a knot when your readers are 'just having fun' and getting a little snarky. Fair deal?

No law against it. I'm fine with you interacting, I think what most don't like is when you take shots back at people and sometimes they're simply not warranted. Just you being defensive and deflective.

You can offer up whatever opinions you want James, I just think most of the time that you have a difficulties in dealing with the criticism that ensues even though you seem to want and ask for.

For a guy I usually tend to think is a bit of a (frank)ing goof most of the time you made some excellent, excellent posts, Bubba. Until you prove to be a Jabroni ,I will consider you 100% the Real.

See, I find this hilarious. I have no problem taking criticism, I have a problem with stupidity.

Now your calling your readers stupid? Your blogs are not exactly some clever thesis in their own right.

Sharks lose healthy scratch Havlat and Boyle, but get a healthy Hertl and a roster spot to have their prize D prospects Mueller and/or Tennyson to make the team.

Yup they are screwed, logically screwed

not to mention irwin braun and demers have another year of experience

This is sweet. Let's see how they match up.


1. Pietrangelo = OEL
2. Bouwemeester > Michalek
3. Shattenkirk < Yandle
4. Gunnarrson << Gormely
5. Jackman < Stone
6. Leopold < Murphy
7. Cole < Summers

8. Butler
9. Prosser. Don't know these guys. But The Coyotes still have Schlemko who is a decent 6 if he plays and he might.

What we have here is a clear Arizona victory. You guys aren't gonna love Gunnarrsson, you can trust me on that one.
- James_Tanner

From 3 down it's not even funny how off you are, no offense.

Butler himself is better defensemen than Cole and Leopold most nights. I don't really know what you see in Stone and Summers, but those guys are 5-7 guys on just about every team in the league. Murphy is good, but he's nothing special yet.

I'm having a hard time even trying to figure out who I like more between Prosser and Schlemko, and thats the 9th guy on their depth chart compared to your 7.
