Again, JimmyJ isn't saying anything ridiculous. He's just putting way too much stock in what little evidence there is. I don't feel that a debate is useful in this situation.

That guy though did ask super specific questions to understand jimmyjs post but he went dark after posting every 2 mins before, that told quite a bit. Your second paragraph is also true, if he was like here is a possible contributing factor. But he makes bold unbacked claims then doubles down getting more crazy and moves the goal posts all over. Ive pm'd in the past if he would even occasionally admit it might not be 100% or a possible mistake he would be far more likeable. And third I love you all. | ||

I really don't want to go on a prolonged argument with a stranger on the internet, I just think a little honesty is in order. So JimmyJ, let's debate your claim that: when u land on the same 1 leg repeatedly you increase the chance of injury that leg. That's as specific as we could get. Let's do it. | ||

When you do this systematically, at some point you're bound to say some dumb ridiculous shit, like "Kobe's career was short and disappointing because he landed on his left leg that one time". | ||

If you point out some eye-test argument he will roll back to xXxRVORAPM, but if you yourself use numbers he will pull out the good old "I think watching the game live is way more insightful than on TV, also my uncle is a scout" card. This was the one thing that did it for me. What kind of a special moron would name drop an irrelevant fact about uncle being a scout (yet unknown whether real or not) to defend himself. Pathetic and sad. | ||
