I was kidding about the backwards part. Actually, it's an acronym.Another Bear said:I got OKcupid. Yes that is EVIL and sick.Big C said:Yeah? Did you try spelling it backwards?Another Bear said:I looked it up...nothing weird from what I can see. I figured since Richie Cunningham used it with Fonzie, it was safe.Big C said:You might want to look up "bucko" in Urban Dictionary, but prepare yourself in advance to be offended and disgusted.Another Bear said:I'm fine with trash talking between players and some stuff from coaches but full trashing a player as a coach, punk stuff and I don't care if he's the Wizard of Westwood. Sure some of it's gamesmanship but some of it is authority figure crapping on student athletes. And yes, it was a different era.helltopay1 said:
john wooden trash-talked every game for 25 years. if he were coaching today, he would not be considered a candidate because of his "insensitivity" . sign off the times. I have a great idea: Let's hire Jesus of nazareth. he would never say anything nasty about anyone. Can't coach?????Goes 0-18 every year for 30 years????who cares???He's inclusive and diverse.
If you're calling a player a girl or a woman, that's bull. If make a comments like "shtty play there bucko" that's fair. Good trash talking isn't personal, it's about the game or the play. Read up Larry Bird, he basically called his shot and then mocked the opposition...nothing personal.
