meh, I have youhadtwoweeks@gmail.com forwarding to youhavetwoweeks@gmail.com just in case.

It would be a ridiculous waste to start over with a new twitter account that has no followers. I'll just change the name to You Had Two Weeks, but the @youhavetwoweeks will stay the same. Noone types a twitter account to follow it anyways, they just see it and click follow.

tj,

it probably would have been easier to just make a youtube video mocking the prophet bettman

Apparantly I can change the @handle. So everything is now youhadtwoweeks

Well that was a complete disaster.

The live interview didn't work because of audio problems, so they taped a 2 minute clip that will air sometime in the next hour. Didn't really let me explain the site. Just asked me 5 or 6 CBA type questions and then sent me on my way.

TJ,
can I still drink my Tim Horton's coffee?

I do know I won't be seeing any movies at Uncle Phil's theatres.

Oh yeah. Almost forgot. Have to go buy some Little Caesar's and Molson today.

Definitely in the mood for pizza with some NFL action. We have a good pizza place right across the street that we usually go to. But I think I'm skipping that to go across town to Little Caesar's in honor of this movement. PIZZA PIZZA!!!


In other news, listened to your interview from last week. You carry yourself well and are a good interview. You did way better than I thought you would based on your posts about your nerves and not doing well, etc. You don't sound nervous at all. Gave good answers that explained yourself well. You definitely sound comfortable on there.

Wish I could interview you on my stuff too just for kicks... but unfortunately there's just no way since I work for a team and not a radio station.

MB,
It's nfl sunday.
why not troll sports betting today?

well congrats TJay, you just made the top article on the frontpage of one of the biggest czech online sportsnews site:

http://hokej.idnes.cz/stavka-v-nhl-o...213612_nhl_par

Update please? How goes the boycott? Can't believe we're not getting anything from tjay now that the boycott is officially in full swing.

Boycott's going good. I've been extremely busy.

A few more print articles coming out. Got a plug on the 2+2 pokercast from Adam today, and CBC TV wants to have me back on in a better time slot sometime in the future.

I'm very disappointed that no NHLers jumped on the bandwagon yesterday, but I guess they can't.

We're still 1 or 2 big celebrity tweets away from exploding, but we've got ourselves where we need to be for if/when that happens. We're slowly climbing.

The fact we are on a Czech site blows my mind.

Adam - Are you boycotting all the products?
If so, do you believe your efforts will be even remotely effective in changing anything?

Microbob. I just read an email from a widow who told me how much a certain hockey team meant to her husband. I came here to post about it and point out how unnoble our cause is, because all we really want is hockey on the TV, but some other people really do have noble causes, and this lockout is affecting a lot of people in a lot of ways.

Only to find more trolling by you.

**** off.

Please stop posting here.

Wow. I know what you want. Discussing effective ways to go about achieving that is not inappropriate.

I asked Adam a very simple question. If he believes so then he can answer yes. Not hard. Sorry not everyone is in favor of your idea here. I can't ask Adam if he is supporting the boycott and if he thinks it can actually work? I mean, if he is then that is one more guy voicing his opinion that he's 100% on your side. And he happens to be a guy with his own show in this site, etc. That's kinda like a good thing for you, right?

bob,

Do you think was TJ is doing can cause harm (ie, prolong) to the process?

microbob really putting in some douchy work ITT. How many times can you just repeat that it's unlikely to change anything before getting tired of it and shutting the **** up?

can't make a difference, don't try imo

I have not said anything of the sort in my last several posts.

Me asking Adam if he was boycotting also and if he believes it can be effective is not the same as expressing that it won't change anything. It's me asking what he thinks.

Me pointing out that the he chose a bad name imo (because it becomes dated), or that he did a good job in his interview, or asking how the boycott is going so far or that I forgot to go get a Little Caesar's: NONE of that is repeating anything really and certainly is not saying "it's unlikely to change anything."

Same for me pointing out all the other social media movements that I was anticipating would get going on lockout day, etc. That's an important aspect too, isn't it?

In fact, I submit that I have way more variety in my posts in this thread and the different aspects I am bringing up than tjay pretty much updating over and over that he is interviewing here and then interviewing there etc (but I have no problem with him posting about that, I think it's interesting).

I don't think standing outside your house and holding a sign that says, "NHL, I don't like you anymore" will cause any harm either. But I can still have an opinion on the validity of taking such an action and/or whether I think it's kind of silly.

But to answer your question, theoretically I suppose it could be possible but certainly highly unlikely.

I really doubt very many people are going to boycott the products anyway. Even those who sign the petition. Will Little Caesar's see ANY difference in their sales at all? I mean, will it be trolling from me if two months from now I find sales numbers for any of the boycotted products and show that the boycott isn't effecting them at all? I think it's reasonable in normal boycott situations to see how effective it is. But obviously this isn't exactly a "normal" boycott situation. It's just a "boycott" to say you're doing a boycott but I don't think tjay really thinks they will impact sales at all. Maybe I'm wrong on that though.

The Molson boycott of 1979 was a more organized and unified effort with a sole purpose AND they actually did have enough backing nationally to truly impact sales (I believe). There are some big differences there.

Me not jumping on the bandwagon for this effort does not make me the enemy.


What if I started a different thread here similar to the 50 other anti-NHL movements that are out there now? Mine would be to try to gain a following here and on my website for everyone to post, "NHL-YOUSUCK" on every twitter and facebook page we could find and to all sign a petition that we will not buy tickets and will not support the teams and not watch the games if they don't solve this in the next 30 days.

Additionally, we must all cancel our Verizon coverage and switch to ATT because Verizon are big sponsors of the NHL on NBC and also have the Washington Capitals arena named for their business.

I mean, perhaps my goals here are genuine and I truly believe something like this would have a shot of working. But just because I'm super-enthusiastic about it and am genuine does that mean that everyone should just jump right in and support me and that nobody should be allowed to point out that they don't think it will do anything or, more harshly, that it's pretty freaking stupid?

MB,

You should work for dictators around the world.

"The people are thinking about revolting? Tell Bob to go out there and tell them they are stupid and it's never going to work. Now bring me another virgin"

If you wanted to organize an actual revolt against Bettman or something outrageous like that I think that would have a greater chance of success than saying, "we're all signing a petition to no longer purchase Little Caesar's...and 200+ other products."

MicroBob thinks TJ is wasting his time, proceeds to waste his own time trolling him.

lol microbob.

Yeah, the guy who starts a website to say "everybody stop eating Little Caesar's so we can save the NHL" isn't a troll. And the guy saying that's kinda dumb and discussing potential drawbacks and other aspects of the strategy is.

here for the lol microbob

COOL OUT Robert, you have 22% of the poasts itt.
