Hot Seat #74 - Providence A's

[HollywoodLeo]

Rules for the Hot Seat

This is something we are continuing on with. One nice aspect of being a smaller forum is building a solid community and getting to know many of the forum posters and here is your chance to get know one another even better!

In The Strike3Forums Hot Seat threads, you may ask the one in the Hot Seat (in this case, Providence A's) up to 3 questions. The questions can be about baseball, movies, relationships, whatever.

Please keep the questions appropriate and know that the person in the Hot Seat can refuse to answer any question he or she feels uncomfortable with. You may ask questions for the next week, then the guy in The Hot Seat will answer up to three of your questions.

If you would like to have a chance to be the next one up, post that you would like to and Providence A's will select from the ones interested for who will go next. Or, he'll just select whoever the heck he wants.

Timeframe involved: Just so we know how we are going to do this ... the person in the Hot Seat will be there for about one to two weeks. Questions, such as this thread, will be open for one week and then we will close the questioning so that the poster has time (up to one week) to get some answers together.

Questioning will close Friday, May 22nd. Answers will then be opened until Friday, May 29th.

1. In your opinion, which is the worst form of inferiority complex in sports among the following:

a) A player tugging the front of his uniform to remind viewers to "remember the name". Just in case they had forgotten.


b) The "We don't get any respect" or "Nobody gave us a chance." rally cry made famous by the Patriots and has since been adopted by most every other team, no matter how much the media has fondled them lately.

c) Teams that claim that they just go about their business and leave the talking on the field, yet when given the opportunity, won't ever shut up about how they just go about their business and leave the talking on the field.
