Haha, I pretty much knew what two of those videos were before I even clicked the link. That wedding appearance is the coolest thing, and his SNY commercial hiding in the stands with the gun is hilarious. That Braves mascot deserves this beatdown we’re giving him, both because of how terrible he is and how awesome Mr. Met is.

Cyclone, you’re right we should have more championships than one. I know we choked, but if we “still” suck were does that leave your team. This isn’t a jab at all, so don’t take it as one. Yankee fans are cool with me, I live with one so they’re no problem with me. Listen man I only knew a handful of Mets fans growing up, so I am trying to get over my Bravo bias.

I’m not surprised that another organization took something from the NY Mets and currently uses it on a daily basis as if they’re the originator.

For example, in addition to the cloning of Mr. Met who I’d like to call Larrrrrryyyyyyy — has anyone else noticed the use of, “Everybody Clap Your Hands,” (CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP)???

The NY Mets started the preceding chant, and now you can hear it across the MLB – AND – with other sports!

Unbelievable.

What happened to the Homer Derby site? I think we wrecked it!

You sound like a typical Yankee fan….only with them, at least they have the championship banners to back it up….

Atlanta still sucks.

I don’t want to sound crass CharlieH, but upsets do happen. The Braves have been good for as long as I can remember (born in1986), so 2007 will happen sometimes congratulations on 2006, though.

Lastly, I didn’t grow up South Atlanta where and I didn’t grow up with any hicks.

Typo, I meant to say I did grow up in South ATL and didn’t grow up with the hick and rednecks. You just saw the darkside of multitasking.

GravediggerHebner & Castillo643 I’m glad both of you brought this up. First of all I do go to games to support Atlanta’s pro teams. Regarding Gravedigger’s klan jab, Atlanta’s mostly black and as a black male I would not let those clowns intimidate me. So let me get this straight, Vick killing dogs means that all of Atlanta take part in that. Using your logic I would say that all of New York take part in cockfights, am I right? Spare me on his DR culture they’re (MV and PM) both wrong and we all know better. Castillo643, say you moved down to Atlanta, would you all of a sudden become a Bravo fan? I didn’t think so. ATL has large numbers of people moving in and out of the city daily, so why would they start liking the Braves? Have you ever wondered why whenever we play the NY teams, Boston, the Chi teams , and the Cali teams that Turner Field is mostly the opposing team. There’s hope though, my parents are tranplants and I am the only Bravo fan in my home (mom likes the Yanks and my father loves the Reds);I think when the other transplans have their children they’ll grow up to be Braves fans or at least half of them. Don’t forget that the majority of the people here grew up with college football but I like pro sports more than college. Lastly, I didn’t grow up South Atlanta where and I didn’t grow up with any hicks. Y’all should know that redneck/hicks love being isolated and they hate change/growth, so they hate Atlanta too.Was this too long.
