Recent Locker Room Comments by BlueTrain

OC = total of other's comments generated by your posts worldcup2002, once again I have to ask, do we need to quantify quality? A big debate over on MeFi has always been, "Does the number of comments in a given thread deem it better than one with very few?" And the resounding answer is, "No." An incredible essay detailing Jackie Robinson's struggles might not need comments because the link is so well written. Perhaps we'll all sit here in awe of such a literary wonder. On the other hand, I could easily link, as I have recently, to CNNSI and bring up a controversial subject, in my case the Williams sisters' supposed dynasty in tennis, and get 25 comments. I consider the former link better for the site, but the latter link better for community involvement. Who's to say which is better?

Is there really a need to quantify quality?

Yeah really...I demand that you bring back etiquette policing to the locker room. I want to see some towel snapping and bitch slapping. I like bitch slapping. Actually, I just like saying bitch slapping... I'll move along now...

I apologize if I seemed to imply anything. I was simply curious about the connection.

A compliment, but I'm still curious to know why...Does Matt know someone, or have some sort of clout, to bring about this recognition?

If one of the hoohas here could setup a page with the bracket and a way to select picks, (obviously no easy task), I think this website would be well on its way to becoming popular and, dare I say it, pretty cool. I'd definitely be game, and would love to see the winner be able to have a column for a month or something interesting. Cash would be difficult, and possibly illegal.
