    Since I am unable to read, all I see is a pissing match between an old baseball player, some bitch with 1980s hair and Alexander Hamilton.

    God bless SportsJournalists.com.

    Ok,

    This is going to take a bit longer. We shot an hour and twenty minutes of raw footage & it rocks - but will clearly need to be edited down.

    Lots of scoops and info. We are taking a look at the raw footage now and will work hard to edit and post tomorrow.

    Oh, be still my heart. And this egotistical putz thinks people are stealing his line from a message board? How the hell would anybody find it in those meandering posts?

    Unless this is a gag, I'd suggest Rokski talk some sense into his bro, though he is providing us with entertainment.

    Oh, never mind. We're all out to get Mark McGwire, so we must be out to get his big buddy here, right?
     
  4. I hate it when I'm away from the board for a day and something like this breaks out.
    Damn.

    I like how John says this is going to be earth-shattering, he has a huge IQ and is the king of all things holy. ... But since he's tired, this isn't going to be his best work.

    Go away John.
     
  6. Don't you dare.
    Post once a day. John. Please.

    We're clearly out of our league here. Our man's profile from g4tv... from 1998:

    "Name: John Villarreal
    Gaming Handle: POWER or SUPER POWER
    Favorite Game of all time: too many to list) Ultima series, Wing Commander series, I76, Mechwarrior series, Doom & Quake series, Wasteland, Dark Sun, AD&D, Mule, Civilazation, Master of Orion, X-com, Dune, C&C series, Warcraft series, X-wing series, Dark forces series, Etc.
    What I am playing now: Spec-Ops Rangers lead the way & whatever I can get my hands on (P.S. game companies send me games NOW!!!)
    Favorite Movies: Star Wars, Pumping Iron, Stone Cold, Caddyshack, Bladerunner, Old Godzilla Movies, Terminator, Steven Hawkings "A Brief History of Time", Henry the V, Lord of the Rings, Akira, Close Encounters, The Usual Suspects, Rocky, The Bridge over The River Kwai, Private Parts, Mortal Combat
    Motto: "I have got the power - I will rule the universe"

    John is a firm believer that everything you need to learn about life can be learned from comic books. "Comic books give you the right perspective on life," says John, "you learn that anything is possible in life with hard work, big dreams, and a bite from a radioactive spider."

    Interesting philosophy coming from a UC Berkeley graduate who also practices law on the side. John is a goofy guy who claims to have played over 10,000 games, but it's no joke that he works in the heart of Silicon Valley at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the world's leading law firm representing high tech and emerging growth companies. As a result of his intense interest in politics, he's also been spotted rubbing elbows with certain US senators aboard a leisure yacht.

    Also quite the athlete, John has a lengthy resume from the years he spent as the personal trainer for over two dozen Major League Baseball, NFL, Olympic, and world class athletes including his good friend, home run record holder, Mark McGwire."

    "Mr. Virrarreal, everything you've just said is among the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent responses were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having tried to read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

    Sadly, the drug he appears to be free of these days is Thorazine.

    If your YouTube is just 1/10 as cool as that bulldog on a skateboard thing, I'm on board.

    BREAKING NEWS

    Someone just slipped me an advance copy of the video of John and his special surprise guest. I pinky swore that I wouldn't share any of the gnarly "scoops and info." But here's a sneak preview of the earth-shattering revelations to come:
