The Thing (Blog) That Should Not Be.

I am taking a page from a few members that have done this recently. I've never been that great of a throwdowner, but somehow I did start off pretty well. My throwdown career has been a rollercoaster. I started off well, then when I started to lose or get into those purely ridiculous one's I started to rant like a little b*tch. Then I cooled off and didnt TD for a while. Then I came back and did horribly, my TD record is pretty sad as far as my last 10. So, I'm the occasional TD'er for tourneys in various groups.

Here's my first 10!!! (Warning: This Blog Could Start To Bore You)

1. Regardless of what Alex Rodriguez does this season, the Yankees will not win the AL East.

I started this one, and won 8-3. AND I WAS RIGHT!!! By the time my 3rd and final argument came around, I was off to being a d*ck! YAY for me and my obnoxious argument!

2. Seriously, now that the Heat aren't gonna hang around to defend their crown, THE EAST IS DONE. It's all up to Dallas, Phoenix, or San Antonio.

Another TD I started, but this time I lost via forfeit. I guess I got scared after being down 4-1. LQTM. I ended up being correct seeing how San Antonio won the title, but at that time the Pistons were still seen as a powerhouse in the East.

3. The Red Sox have the best pitching rotation in the MLB this season.

Another Yanks/Sox related TD. I started this one, and I won this one 1-0 after the guy forfeited. Weird. He just posted an argument reading: "hunters **** is cool". 2-1 baby!!!

4. Hockey the best sport ever.

I won 9-2 after picking this one up. Basically, kind of a dumb TD. 3-1!!!

5. The New England Patriots will win the Super Bowl next season.

I was jumping the gun big time in this TD, and won it anyway 13-11. So far so good right? Undefeated and looking unstoppable. As far as my arguments, fair. Not great, but not horrible.

6. The Yankees will win the AL East this season.

I was the winner 8-4. The guy basically gave up with his last argument. Again, alright arguments. Doing well for a noob! 5-1!!!

7. Dirk Nowitzki will win the NBA MVP.

I won this one 24-10. Eh, ended up being wrong but this TD just didnt work out all that great. I think this guy actually challenged me, and I dont know why.

8. Golden State wont go any further.

I took this one, and won 16-12. I put up some solid arguments. 7-1!!!

9. The Colts will have a better record this year than last year's 12-4.

I won 31-10. Really just another dumb TD. I tried to argue, the guy kinda went wild with his logic and the TD fizzled out. And so far, 12-4 is looking like where the Colts could end up and maybe go past.

10. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are the best QB's of all time.

Not much of a TD. Kinda obvious that these two aren't the best just yet. 16-0.

So, I finished my first 10 TD's with a 9-1 record. Not bad for a noob, but I really didnt face any elite throwdowners. The combined records of my first 10 opponents was 33-55-9. Not pretty. I dont even know if any of these people are still on the site. All in all, a damn good start. And whew, was it down hill from there! I've got a record of 58-18-2 now.

Against some of the best throwdowners of FanNation:

-B0mb3rs: 1-0

-Cassidy's House: 0-1

-Coletrain: 0-1-1

-Kentuckyfan1 says LS Who?: 1-0

-ravensfan: 1-0-

-The Real Lifer: 1-0

-Goodell: 0-1 (Forfeit)

-BSchwartz07: 0-1

-Uofmrules: 1-0

-NCshvDavid: 1-0-1

-RedskinHater: 0-1 (Good TD)

-nomarfan: 0-1 (Good TD)

-Steelercooz: 0-1

-BasketballJesus: 1-0

So as you can see, I havent faced a lot of the best throwdowners on this site. AND, I bet I wouldnt stand much of a chance against guys like BigBen or GoatHCW. I'd probably get pwned. There are a few people I'd like to TD with, and that is Chrono8008 or DJTG. Bring it!!!

Kind of interesting for a minute, but it soon becomes "so what?"ish.

My bad about that, here's the real comment (I accidently clicked save):

Your 1-0 against me but you got me in my 2nd ever Throwdown!!! If we faced now, it would be more even because I didn't know the secret art of Throwdowning then!!!

October 26, 2007  10:03 PM ET

But I know it now... MHUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I probably could have gone into detail as to what happened in those TD's at the bottom, but then that would have made things worse for people's attention spans.

October 26, 2007  10:10 PM ET

Man...I've got the itch to do this with my first ten...I was owning people...

October 26, 2007  10:11 PM ET

You wouldn't stand a chance against me now...I'm like a tiger!

October 26, 2007  10:11 PM ET

I wouldnt doubt that statement Lifer.

October 26, 2007  10:24 PM ET

I was terrible first ten. Like 1-8-1

October 26, 2007  11:46 PM ET

I liked some of yours. It is pretty cool to look how you did before. By the way, I started this.
