    JJ get in here and be honest

    How hard is it for you to log on here everday and act like you give a shit?

    How much is John paying you to keep the act going?

    Maybe you're just too far removed from the golden era of posting to remember how good it actually was. Do you ever just stop and think how bad posters have gotten?

    Business as usual I guess

    It just seems like it would be hard to be the clown in a special ed class everyday.

    Peter, the golden era of posting was like running barefoot through an endless field of titties. It just felt good.

    Thats the best I can describe it.

    Im not jealous of anything. I live a good life my friend. I'm more content at this point in my life than I care to be. I was just wondering from JJ's perspective how he feels now that the average poster being less than half his age, not being able to calculate a no vig line, only playing at one book and withdrawing $200 at a time. The landscape has changed so drastically over the years yet JJ's role has remained the same. Gotta feel weird. Different screen names for sure but different people as well. But plenty of characters, no doubt about that. Back in the golder era of posting, the early part of the decade, around 2000-2003, guys knew the ins and outs of sports betting, knew the owners of most of the books, knew each other personally, it was a smaller community without much trolling and almost no ghosting. I wish I would've posted. I just sat out on the side lines and read everything. Too afraid to post. Very intimidating back then. But I see some of the same players still post, BG, Major, Clev Fan to name a few.

    JJ's generation of posters is dying off though. RIP Peep. RIP Falcone. RIP yzer19 (not really JJ's gen). A couple others I forget as well.

    JJ go get a physical pal.

    Jon Cheers Drinker.

    jj you have good work ethic. Your restaraunts are doing very well I hear.

    How is it took you all that time to get to 100k posts and in half a year you're already around 40k posts? What took you so long to get to 100k? or better yet, how can you have posted so much this year?
