he played football at Syracuse. He very rarely mentioned it
Lmao. I always imagined him running on the field for the first time on special teams on the last play of the season. He makes the tackle early. 2 seconds left on the clock. He doesn’t know what to do. Coaches tell him to just stay in there, play defense. He lines up on the defensive line, sacks the QB on the last play of the game. His teammates pick him up, carry him off the field. Once back in the locker room, he logs onto BBI and starts hurling insults at random for whatever reason.
This has been a really good year for me

First dep, then Mike in Long Beach, now B in ALB, this place is clearing up all my nemesis. Nice.
I wonder when Eric banned you multiple times he thought the same thing.
You know with the whole threatening his family thing.
That's a much more menacing nemesis to me. But hey, I guess to you a guy talking shit on the internet is worse......
As a long term reader, I found comments of this former upstate NY college football player informative.
I don't appreciate the frequent ad homs that go back and forth that have nothing to do with football. What did I miss about this poster?
B was the type of guy that you loved when he agreed with your viewpoint or found intolerable if he didn’t. He’s also one of the handful of posters that has been around for so long and contributed so much from a NFT perspective that I feel like I know way too much about him, as an anonymous internet poster, than I probably should.
B not really even if he certainly wasn't Dale Carnegie. People should be able to talk politics but Football threads get plenty nasty enough. especially in a shitty year. On him

Agree with this. He usually razzed me about Michigan. Really wasn’t a big deal. But he has fought the good fight against trolls at times. He’s a good dude.
But the other night he was being a childish poster. Reminded me of someone that was off their meds and couldn’t help it. If he was always like that then I would be ok with him being permanently banned, but that was really the first time I’ve seen him bouncing off the walls.

Not looking to speak for him or make excuses but it wouldn’t be the first time that a poster had a few too many and did something silly that they probably regretted the next morning.
Sure he doesn’t mince words but he knows football and he’s one of the people who I find myself agreeing with more often than not. Hope he’s back soon. I get his frustration though as it seems like this place has lost a bit off its fastball when we tried to become kinder and gentler to all. Still the best site on the net for Giants talk but I find myself coming here much less than I used to.

Try to figure out the percentage of nemeses you have. It'll be more interesting than your threads about opposing fans. And the percentage will be higher.

I happen to like it better these days. It’s much more interesting discussing The Giants and having heated debates about the direction of the team then it is screaming about who hates America more. And going on about one side is morally superior to the other. I like sports on a sports site, I guess is what I’m saying.

I don’t care for the political threads much either but I do find it sad that a community of Giants fans can’t even post about business or world issues without the post getting political.
My gripe is that it seems to me that a lot of the newer posters seem to start a thread whenever a synapse fires, and a majority of the time, the thread title is poorly phrased. Seems to me it’s a lot harder to separate the wheat from the chaff these days.
RE: I've been here for nine years (on this handle) Â
FMIC has given me the business on occasion, But his posts are some of the better posts on this site
He seems connected to the team and brings facts to his positions. Yes he gets impatient at times with people, but his posts weigh heavily on the side of being informative even though there are times his attacks get personal.
the best part of this thread was the couple of assholes that piled on him for absolutely no reason... for example, the no-talent assclown that compared his college football to Rudy's.
Until I realized he played at Syracuse and meant Albany.
I also always confused his posting style with that of Greg in LI. Idk why, they seem similar.
Anyway at this point, with the way BBI's community has been shrinking, I am always bummed to find a familiar handle be banned or no longer posting, even if I think they were a shit poster (not that I think B in ALB is).

They both Hate Virginia Tech football in a weird way. That's why they seem similar.
You border on the Adriatic
Your land is mostly mountainous
And your chief export is chrome!
I had a teaching gig in Albania a few years ago - am I the only BBIer who's actually been there? Beautiful but somewhat bizarre country.
I watched an episode of Top Gear a few year back when they visited Albania. Recall them saying something to the effect of, and I'm paraphrasing, 80% of Merc Benz's on Albania roads are actually stolen from other countries and shipped in.
Still waiting for that god damn kimche thread Ronnie, by the way.
Albanian; thinking Lamb Meat Balls or something. The whole -stuck between Greece and Ottoman Empire maybe with a touch of Slav in there- cuisine. Yum.
The food is *great* in Albania, and very inexpensive. It's actually a mix of Greek, Ottoman Empire and Italian. And they're proud that it's always been organic - I was told a couple of times that "we were too poor to put chemicals on things we grow."

FWIW, if you've been to the indoor soccer facilities up here, they're all owned by an Albanian guy (who went to UAlbany and lives in Albany, so Albany all around...go figure).
I've known Afrim since I was like 8 years old. Great guy. Played on some good teams with him like Sons of Italy in Albany. He's got quite the little empire going on. I remember when all he had was his little store in Westgate Plaza on Central Ave.

lol, I've only known him since my kids were 6 or 6 but it seems like forever. We started out at the Washington Ave armory and then Schenectady to his Wold Rd and Latham sites. His latest is in my town's soccer facility and I heard he's building another. It certainly is an empire. He coached one of my kids for a few years and and was integral to training another. You can't play soccer in the Capital District and not have had some contact with Afrim.
Similar in a sense that whereas superintendants, in city residential buildings, there used to be lots of Italian guys, now you see lots of Kosovars and Albanians.
You're right. But in that regard I am misunderstood.
I hated what happened at Penn State as much as anyone, maybe more than most.
But my family knew Paterno. We know he mishandled it, he admitted he did not do enough. But I felt the need to try and explain why I didn't believe he was the monster many think him to be.

Yeah, he's all over my ass all the time..but I still love the Fat bastard!
Those cunts from Trapoje are low rent thugs with no imagination.
We're from Fushe Arrez and we don't duck around. Sure, we're involved in the normal stuff. Prostetution, gambling, construction, kidnapping. But that's low level shit. These days it's about financial opportunities, political influence and technology.
I had a clown from Trapoje come into my office the other day and he couldn't even tell me why we revere the Romanov Dynasty. I had him dismembered on the spot. Sqiptar trash.
Also, what happened to B in ALB?
Why would he get canned for that? I don’t understand why they deleted his thread
#BringBackOurBinALB
Not all.
But entertaining...

He started a political thread. I deleted it.
He started another. I deleted it. (You'd think he get the message at this point).
Then when I woke up the next morning, I was notified he was still at it.
Sometimes people ban themselves.
He is, was a favorite. Hopefully he'll be back.
Political threads are a no go. That simple.

Don't something different and maybe switch it up after 9 years of doing the same thing. Just a simple suggestion?
I think he will be a man about it and take it as a lesson learned.

Yes, over the top on occasion, but still a fum guy to me.
Welcome back B - now effin behave yourself!
Anyway - glad to see he's back.
I like B. He's a greeat poster, IMO.
But fuck Shen.

And virtually everyone on BBI would gladly trade any of them for you.

Pretty funny to see the termites crawl out of the woodwork and bash my good name.
Couldn't do it under normal circumstances and had to wait until I was gone. But alas, like Lazarus I've risen again to smack down the clowns.
