The month of March.... Poster of the month....

[Draft Crazy]

Before the announcement I had a discussion with @SpringStein. We both agreed this was a very tough month to pick. Several active posters who brought their A game and their sense of humor to the table. To honor the Olympics, which sadly were postponed this year, we will give a gold, silver and bronze medal this month.

So here we go.

(Que the Olympic music and take your place on the podium fellas)

Bronze- @Duffman - Great month of posting. Displayed a great sense of humor in the forum as well as stayed active and I felt like this guy really step his game up this month.. (Not that his game was ever low), but he REALLY brought it this month. Duffman step up as Mingo gives you your medal.

Silver- @CEH - Stayed active all month like he usually does. I see him getting more and more involved in draft talk. One of the best things I think CEH brings to our forum is the his willingness to share what he hears from the locals. Being one of many non Colorado natives I can appreciate him sharing some of the information that we may not get living outside Colorado. I felt like their were times this month (weekends) while social distancing from the rest of the world I really hung to SportsHoopla to pass the time. Many times I would find myself refreshing the board because I had nothing else to do during this time and it was always CEH who would be replying/engaging in discussion. CEH step up as 58Crash gives you your medal.









































GOLD- (SPringStein que the Buffalo Sabres song here. @Orange Crush77 OC . Same as the other two.. Very active. Saw him mad, happy and funny this month. A strong push for this guy from our legend posters SpringStein and Mingo. OC77 went from pouting over the Melvin Gordon signing, to making fun of SpringStein, to speaking highly of his baldness (or something like that)..... to happy that we re-signed Shelby Harris. Such an emotional month for OC77... I can't imagine what his wife went through. His emotions included several ups and downs of Broncos news to him. But at the end of the day who doesn't want to honor someone giving love to players I love too, such as Patrick Queen and Brashaud Breeland? OC77 step up to the podium, strut like a peacock and grab the gold medal from SpringStein and we need a speech!


annnnnnnnnnnd to make things even better. What is better then honoring these fine 3 men you ask?

Well.... Posting this thread also removes the Joe Flacco appreciation thread to page two!!!!

All very worthy choices!

[SpringStein]

Ohhh noooo! This means we have to listen to this bozo strut like a peacock all month! If you don’t remind him every day that he is THE man, he will remind you.

Now, OC, you better bring home a great draft class or we will blame you for years to come.

Congrats, mi amigo.

Did you just knock Mingo over on your way to the podium?

 

[Draft Crazy]

Whenver OC77 wins, it means deer sticks for everyone!

I don't even know who that was, probably some unimportant non medal winning patron.

I don’t think it’s coincidental that I’m crowned king the same month Coke Cola was invented

[LGM]

Really? Corona virus, locked down, no tp, and now this?

What a horse shit month March has been.

Screw you March. Screw you.

 

[Mingo]

If this forum is a cat - OC is the hair ball! Congratulations OC - you really came through in our time of need with your wit, charm - natural way with words and your ever present inspiration for all the young people lurking and wishing they were big time posters.

 

[Orange Crush77]

What’s up y’all

 

[SpringStein]

It ain’t April yet.

 

[58crash]

Congrats ...I agree deer sticks for everyone..

[Mingo]

You know OC once told me of a hunting trip he took out in the woods. After a long hike, Orange Cursh comes across a magnificent 12 point buck standing - mid-stream. Since it was deer season Orange Crush takes a deadly bead on that buck and bam. Quick and easy, the buck goes down in the stream. When OC gets there to collect his prize buck - he see's that in going down the buck's rack speared an 18" speckled trout just below the gills. OC doesn't like to talk about it much because he didn't have a fishing license.

Good to see 'ol Mingo still hanging in there. It's been a while since I was on the boards but this seems like a good time for the Iron Jaw legacy to join up again. I retired from the Border Patrol at the end of 2011, and started a second career as a Junior High social studies teacher (along with being the wrestilng and football coach...lots of fun). But, our Governor ordered all schools closed unitl the end of the school year, so I'm teaching the students online for right now. I'm glad I built my home gym for workouts!
