"He may be a class act in person, but that business of celebrating before he hit the line really rubbed me the wrong way. At the moment, I'm not a fan."
"Hey, look, Mr Fleet can celebrate any way he wants and different people will react differently. I happen to think it's classless to start celebrating before you hit the line .14 ahead of the guy in 2nd place."
TR0LL
Whachu got against San Diego
Correct - I did "hate on" Mac Fleet for the same thing. I'm impressed you took the time to dig that up.
Troll - wow - not how I think of myself, but in the context of this message board, that seems like a badge of honor.
Wasn't catching the San Diego reference at first because I didn't know [until looking it up just now] that Mac Fleet was from San Diego. Very funny. Anyway, nothing against San Diego, just against celebrating before crossing the line, particularly in a close race. To paraphrase Barry Goldwater, "Let me remind you that extremism in the defense of sportsmanship is no vice, and moderation in the opposition to premature celebration is no virtue." And if that makes me a TROLL, Mr Killercrew, so be it.
p.s. I like your screen name. Is it a reference to the late, great Harmon Killebrew or to something else entirely?
