    I'm new to this forum and this was my first thread so I didn't want to be too controversial. I was considering asking "Why does Bob McCown dislike soccer so much?" but I figured that would just piss people off.

    My post got 30 replies so it seemed to resonate with some people. Maybe its just a slow news day.

    I've noticed this for years- and it is not just Wileman .

    I assumed it was some kind of FO or league directive to use the full name to underline the brand.

    Where does one learn more about this reputation phenomenon? Got it once, not sure how to give it (or get it!)

    Awesome. Thanks - I was just thinking it would be nice to acknowledge posts without having to necessarily respond with a post. This fits the bill perfectly.

    I presume the star (reputation) thing is for paying members only?

    (btw thanks for those who liked it, had the quote immediately pop into my head when I saw the word moisturizer, obviously I'm not alone!)

    I actually wasn't trying giving you a hard time, just having some fun. In fairness, it is a noticeable tendency he has.

    It's just that these lighter threads are a marked difference from the "everything sucks, f#ck you all" threads we saw for the first 9 years when we weren't winning trophies.

    As someone who doesnt watch the casts often/can't hear it at the bar that well, is this something he often repeats?

    ^ all the time.

    Play by Play and Colour Commentary are professions that rely heavily on expansive vocabulary. That's why the Premier League commentators are so great - not because of their accents, but more-so for their wide-ranging lexicon (see what I did there ?).

    ahah I get it. Yes the adjectives that sometimes get blurted out by them are hilarious.

    That's completely fair, he probably has notes on each player and he just repeats them every time.

    The first 10 minutes is almost unlistenable as they go through their lists of points to be made. Action on the field? Doesn't matter - they have to get those notes out.
