Shorty3281's Face The Board Answers

The youngin' has delivered with another great addition to the FTB. So let's proceed to read about his experience in his early lifespan:

What DID bring you to FOFC, at the tender age of 15? I had never even contemplated a sports text sim when I was 15...

Thanks for being the first tk. You get a gold star.

First off, I can't believe I was 15. That's crazy. Anyways, I was always a stat kid in my youth. Before games like NBA Live came out with dynasty modes or stat tracking, I'd take the stats and build boxscores. I'd usually only do that for like 2 games and then quit because it was time consuming and interest waned, but I've always felt like I am more into the results than the actual game that transpires.

Which leads me to being on EA Sports website and reading about Front Office Football 2001. Yes, the EA Sports juggernaut is the reason Jim Gindin has made money off of me. Well, also, I had just got to FOFC when the old Sideline was still up but defunct, and somehow, I guess I searched for FOF 2001 and landed here, at the ripe age of 15.

Quite simply, because there is no NBA team in the Queen City! Since Jordan left, I have always had issues connecting with a team. Liked the Magic for a few years ('95 title run, particularly). Also liked the Trailblazers in the early 2000's. I don't know, I guess I got tired of not having a favorite NBA team. Then Sports Illustrated runs this very early article about this Chinese 7 footer named Yao Ming. Quickly, I have knowledge over all of my friends and keep telling them about this guy who didn't show up until a year or two later. Basically, the 2002 draft was a big moment for me. Factoring in the Rox took Yao, clutchcity.net (now clutchfans.net) is the best fan NBA site on the web, and that I was unashamedly a fan of the Stevie Franchise/Cuttino Mobley duo, it just worked from there.

Great question. I don't think they'd cast a blockbuster-esque actor, because at this point I only have a part time role at FOFc. I want to say Giovanni Ribisi, only he's a little too creepy. Nevermind, I got it. I think Casey Affleck would fit. I based that only on role, I don't think I based it on personality (that's hard to do anyways).

Yeah. I know what you mean though, for instance IIRC my buddies didn't have their cars up at Ohio State their freshman years. But yes, Wright State is largely considered a commuter school and I drive everywhere. '96 teal Honda Accord. It's funny because I used to love that car when I got it, but now it's got a bunch of roblems, and when my friends casually refer to it as a "piece of shit," it hurts a little more every time.

Haha, it's not that many. I do have a lot of people on there. And yea, I would say I have atleast met 95% of them. Facebook arrived when I was a freshman in college so EVERYBODY joined it and went a little crazy with it at first. Then, my sophomore year I met a ton of new people. And people just knew me. But yea, if I go down a friendlist, I can atleast explain how I know them. Which is satisfying.

I wouldn't say they ever got old. Maybe when I was at like 17 or 18 and trying to establish my maturity, maybe then. I think the only time I ever got pissed off about being young was not being taken seriously. Back then, I think SkyDog didn't show me the respect each member should equally get. I'm pretty sure, however, that I did some really stupid and childish things that deserved that kind of disregard. But it's all gravy now.

I combined the 8's and got 3281. Oh by the way, this was my first AOL screenname, which is why I didn't just go with Shorty. You understand.

Yet, I don't know if I wanted to continue down that road, which is why I took a quarter off, which turned into a year.

I just remember following the, I think it was 1999, draft where he and Josh Beckett went 1 & 2. Only baseball draft I ever followed. Kept those names in my head and always wondered what was happening with Hamilton when Beckett was taking off.

As for the Bengals, it's different. It's easy to like players that leave the Reds because we suck and trade our players away. The players usually aren't selfish and leave. My favorite Bengal is Chad Johnson, with safety Madieu Williams on his tail. Love Madieu Williams.

I also root for any player that makes it in the pros from UC, notably I want to see James White get some garbage minutes for the Spurs if they are trouncing the Cavs.

All-time favorite player is Barry Larkin hands down. It's hard in this day and age to start and end your career on one team and he did it. He's also from Cincinnati which just is a 10 on the intangible scale.

Such a great question because the Reds were historically a great franchise yet during my life they have been bottom feeders. I would like to think that the Big Red Machine was the greatest assembly of talent 1 through 8 than any team will ever see, but that isn't a moment. I'd like to say Johnny Van der Meer's back to back no hitters (in '41?) will never be done again, but those are two seperate moments.

So I'll just put it this way: September 16, 1988. I was 2, so I don't remember this at all, but that was the day that Tom Browning threw his perfect game. Now, it's nearly 20 years later and only 17 people total in 120+ years of baseball have thrown a perfect game. It's the greatest achievement in baseball. We were spoiled when Cone & Wells did it in continuing years for the same ballclub because that is just so improbable.

So there it is. Tom Browning.

My least favorite moment is sitting in my parent's van listening to the Reds-Braves broadcast (in 1995, last time we made the playoffs) and hearing Reggie Sanders swing and miss on three straight pitches. I guess it was a warning sign that things would never get better.

Bonus points - if on TV - who did the play by play?

Tough question! I remember being very young and watching a Bengals-Browns game at my mom's co-workers house. It was like I was playing with a toy but still kind of watching the game. Maybe 4 or 5 years old. I just remember Jim Breech was involved.

I certainly have no idea who did the pbp. Sweet if I'd have known that question though!

I honestly don't know. With being out of school I have been given a lot of time to reflect on where my life is headed. I need to get back to school and hopefully when I'm 41 I'll have a hot ass wife and two kids with a nice little home.

Nothing off the top of my head. Just to make sure to loudly/aggressively jingle keys when unlocking my dorm door my freshman year. You know, by chance that my roomate was gay and having sex on a bunk. Thanks eaglesfan.

I'm a stickler about spelling names correctly.

It all makes sense, until I realized that breaking into the business isn't easy and there are thousands of people doing the same thing who are probably better. So I don't know.

After top 3 it gets a little more difficult because I love a ton of films, but I'll add Casablanca and Swingers. To any casual movie-goer, if you have never seen Casablanca because it's from 1942 or it is black and white, you are doing a severe injustice to yourself.

The short answer is yes. I don't know when, I know it should be soon but why go back when I don't know which direction to head yet? I want to go back when I'm ready, and not just because I feel like that's what I should do. I need to have the proper motivation.

I think it has a lot to do with people's accents. I thought I was saying Bengals fine when I got to WSU and everyone started asking why I was saying it BANGALS. So I've had to conform and make sure I'm saying BENGALS. It's weird.

Great question. I think I would like to sit down with Dusty Hoffman. He's really a smart guy, I think he doesn't get enough credit for all the brilliant work he's done over the years. I would like to talk baseball with Koufax. That's my favorite baseball era and I think he is the best pitcher ever. Then, Ali. Ali when Ali was Ali/Clay and not broken down senior citizen Ali.

Since I already answered the top 5 movies, my favorite movie that I've seen in the past 2 years is Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. I can watch that over and over. My favorite tv show is Entourage, but of all-time is Scrubs. I love Scrubs. You either get it or you don't.

I think about my past friends a lot too. I never hang out with my HS buddies and that makes me sad. I feel like I didn't make much of an effort to catch up because it's an hour away and I get caught up in what is going on here so much now. I also think about my best childhood friend and next door neighbor who got killed in Iraq over New Years this year. I think about him and his family.

I was always decent at basketball but undersized and graduated with 404 people so competition was tough at the school level.

Aside from Cincinnati (my hometown team), and Wright State (my alma mater), I now hope West Va. does well, strictly because Huggy is the head coach.

5.50 for a 3-way doesn't sound expensive.

Damn, Shorty is taller than me.

$5.50 for a three-way isn't bad, at least you're getting it the right way (proper style chilli and stuff). Here you can go to a chili place that thinks it knows what it's doing (it doesn't) and pay $7+ for a 3-way. Then again, I live in yuppie-ville...

Huh? Like when it's sticky or runny?

I enjoyed reading your answers, Shorty. I wish you the best of luck finding the "motivation" (as you called it) to go back to school, and hope you find something that doesn't feel wrong--I really gotta give you props for stopping when it did, not a lot of people would have the guts to do so.

Yeah, that particular addition seemed odd. I always thought Shorty was an Anus Man.

ROFL! I am just trying to imagine someone telling me that he's an Anus Man. I wouldn't know whether to laugh hysterically or back away slowly.

And can you imagine the Anus Man breaking up with a girl. "I'm sorry, but I am not physically attracted to you. After I got a look at your anus, I decided to call our relationship off. You do understand, don't you?"

Aside from porno actresses, though, there's got to be a reason why bleaching has become so popular, right? Didn't we have a thread about that a while back?

Huh? Like when it's sticky or runny?

I enjoyed reading your answers, Shorty. I wish you the best of luck finding the "motivation" (as you called it) to go back to school, and hope you find something that doesn't feel wrong--I really gotta give you props for stopping when it did, not a lot of people would have the guts to do so.

Sticky! It gives me goosebumps.

I just had my first Skyline experience over the weekend, and I have to say I was less than impressed. When I think I'm getting chili, I want chili, not 50% spaghetti, 30% cheese, and 20% chili. I still don't know exactly what the chili tastes like, I got so little of it.

This is good stuff. I don't know anyone that can grow only a neckbeard. Maybe you should grow a nice soul patch.

Nice choice - everyone should see Casablanca at least once, if for no other reason than to realize just how much from that movie has entered the public lexicon.

Nice job Shorty. If I may, let me offer some unsolicited advice - if sports journalism is your passion, ignore the number of others out there also trying to get into the biz. Better to pursue your passion even if it forces you to endure some tough times trying to get established than go down some other path and find yourself in 20 years questioning your decision.

I'd also say, don't wait too long to go back to school - the longer you go, the harder it will be to go back. You don't have to pick a major that will be your expected career path - chances are you'll change directions at some point anyway (and probably multiple times). If you've enjoyed Psych classes, why not take some more and see if that's a major that you enjoy - doesn't mean you have to feel compelled to pursue a career in that field. You can always go back to school later to pursue a more specialized field once you feel more confident about your career aspirations. That's what I did - I took a few Psych classes, enjoyed them, had a lot of friends also in that major and graduated with a Psych degree even though I didn't have a lot of interest in making that my career. I then went back to school 4 years later to pursue what has become my current career.

Anyway, nice job and best of luck to you.

Dang, I didn't get a chance to ask questions... sorry Shorty

I didn't realize you were 21... for some reason I thought you were younger. Could have been those pics while you were in college. Oh, speaking of, I noticed you were wearing a Dodgers hat, you a fan? Here's the pic:



Also, thanks starting the "Last Movie You Watched" thread, I've gotten lots of ideas for rentals. It is easily one of my favorite threads.

Casual fan due to my hat.

I wear a blue Dodgers hat every day of the year, except when I go to Reds games I wear a Reds cap of the same style. I just love this hat.

You and Noop both have sweaty palms. I know he walks around with a napkins in his pocket to limit the problem.

Is that hat the "Franchise" model from Twins Enterprises? If so, I know what you mean. I must have 50 of the damn things, from MLB teams to Single-A.

BTW, and I say this as a guy who had a similar career track at age 21... get your ass back in school. General studies, basket weaving, it doesn't fucking matter. Go back to school, go back to school, go back to school.

And yeah, Shorty's taller than me too. Damn that sucks.

Yes. I will never go back to NewEra or any other cap besides Twins Enterprises Franchise style. It's just too sexy.

Three-way chili = chili, spaghetti, and shredded cheddar cheese

Four-way chili = chili, spaghetti, shredded cheddar cheese, and onions (I think)

I don't know. I'm new to the area and had it for the first time a couple of weeks ago when we went to Kings Island. I prefer regular old chili, but I've also had it on top of fritos.

Well now you know why I played CB instead of WR wet hands unless I had gloves on.

Shorty you do know that you can have surgey to correct sweaty palms right? Its a one day thing only thing is you will start sweating from another part of your body(i.e. back, foot, etc)

Onions or beans.

The 5 way is onions AND beans.

And it's awesome. You love it.

Do you sweat for no reason, or is it brought on by temperature, or by nerves?

I had the 3-way, and my only gripe is that there was so little chili, I didn't really taste much of it. I could do without the spaghetti and add the cheese, onions, and beans. The spaghetti is unnecessary, IMO. If I'm eating chili, I want chili, not spaghetti with a different tasting spaghetti sauce (which is about what I thought I was eating).

I thought it had something to do with the fact you would out run the football before it got there, coupled with the fact you didn't like to run routes over the middle.(Pussy) Just playing with you, atleast we can live out our dreams in flag football.
