Quote from inandlong:
I don't think it is petty to boast about oneself. Romeo does it somewhat in fun, and somewhat because he has been right.
But it is totally petty to have not had the guts to step up to the plate, then post some BS when Romeo hits another homerun, and say he wouldn't be thumping his chest if he struck out. No kidding.... would you?
Which brings to mind any number of examples in sports, or life for that matter. Do people crow about their failures? When the QB throws an interception is he on the sidelines taking high fives?
So what if a guy is stoked because he made the right call! I don't see anyone else hanging it out there. And regardless what they say, everyone has a bias about what they think is going to happen. Okay, maybe it's only 99%, but that makes the 1% statistically insignificant, so saying 'everyone' is right on.
And the best part is.....we don't have to wade thru hundreds of pages of gibberish to figure out what he is saying.
