As big a sports fan as I was. I guess for me I knew where to curate my own takes on the stuff I liked watching. This board in it’s prime was one of those places. It was far from an echo chamber; but I could really on passionate people, who largely knew (with depth) the topics they would debate about.

-I enjoyed that more than any other sports message board- that still had wild sports guys takes
-public boards that were wild racist.
-Team specific boards that were diverse in some ways but only focused on one team.

I never watched sports center regularly cause I was already ahead on scores and highlights.
I think I watched some PTI in Yao’s early days

If there’s sports coverage I like— it’s stuff that’s knowledgeable but doesn’t take itself too seriously

JVG and Jax come to mind
bill walton comes to mind
What else?
