All I'm saying is he can do what he wants as far as I'm concerned, doesn't bother me.
If I see a post with just a link to Hersey's blog I usually ignore it. I suspect a lot of people do.
Nothing personal towards him, I just can't be bothered to open a new page and read it. Whereas if he had put his comments in the post I would have read them.
But whatever. He can do what he wants and I'll do what I want. No need for everything to be a reason for another argument, unlike specifically antagonising comments which I agree should be reported and called out (like the recent 'so speaks an expert' comment in the other thread).

If he was posting a link to his cooking blog (although I’d probably still read Cooking With Hersey) then I’d understand.
But he’s simply posting his thoughts and opinions that are completely relevant to this thread. It’s no different to someone posting a link to a podcast/Hoopsfix/bblfix article - it’s a relevant link.

I read this forum every day but don't post too often and I have to say one of the main reasons why is every single thread I'm interested in ends up turning into a petty squabble. I know for a fact I'm not the only one in this position.
Christ alive, it's a forum to discuss basketball. This trophy concept is clubs making the best of a ****ty situation and has provided some domestic basketball for us to discuss. Hersey I believe is one of the people that has organised this tournament and he posted a relevant link to his blog about said tournament. Why does it have to turn into this ridiculous slanging match? Jesus wept

Bit of an ugly game with way too many whistles here but Myerscough have a lot of young talent, Osobor looks very skilled for his size, think he’s off to a d1 school in the States next year, imagine Agu will end up at that level too, Wakeem Richardson is an interesting one too, nice handle and uses his extra weight well

Anyone know who is commentating? Certainly not lacking in enthusiasm

He'd go anywhere for a game of basketball. Obviously fitting in Myerscough between his regular shifts at Nix and Sharks. |

Shafty is very much like marmite. I grew up with him doing Bullets games though so I guess I’d say I was a fan.

When Paul Newman was asked what he’d learnt in his acting career he responded ‘less is more’ I don’t need a commentator who states the bleeding obvious throughout the game Good live though |

The number would undoubtedly be higher if the deleted ones were included. Luckily I haven't got a bunny |

I think Shafty is a great commentator for people with little or no basketball knowledge.

Shafty is a better commentator than that guy who used to sit next to Mr Hines at London Lions  |

Group 2 round-up. If you're offended by a link to a basketball site, talking about a basketball tournament named in the thread title, I guess you need to jog on.

Shaft plays to the demographic - mainly casual basketball fans and families that are after a bit of something different. Which is exactly what is needed.
Would it work in basketball nuthouses in the likes of Lithuania and Greece? Probably not. Would it work in every NBA arena in the states? Absolutley.
I think his ability to generate excitement is like nobody else in the game over here. And by the way, hes a great human being too.
