It's the BALL BOYS!!

[Kung Wu]

I figured our problem out!! It's the LAZY, won't-get-on-your-hands-and-knees ball boys causing our losses! They just mope around wiping the floors with their feet because they don't want to put in the effort!! They are setting the tone for both the TEAM and the FANS!! Let's roll some heads!!

Maybe I should switch to decaf.

We could take ourselves one rung lower than Philadelphia fans by booing the ballboys next game.

My 2 boys did it one game and really got into it. My younger son especially took his job seriously and made sure he got every spot during the timeouts. However, the 2 boys on the other end of the court barely did anything.

I don't think the play on the court is affected by the ball boys, though unless they miss some sweat on the floor causing players to fall.

Hahaha, honestly even booing ball boys wouldn't be lower than Philadelphia fans.

I went to a Chiefs / Eagles game back when TO played for the Eagles and they came to KC. There was a really large section of Eagles fans sitting in my section. So I am sitting there watching the game and a hyped-up blue-collar-type Eagle fan is walking up the stands (I am near the aisle). He is barking out loud, drinking beer, etc and walking up the stairs real slow. He stops for a bit and yells out some crap talk (but never was facing the game -- he's still facing up the stairs). He just stands there for quite a bit near us and is blocking the view of a few KC fans. One of them say " hey bud, have a seat I can't see the game." Totally paraphrasing that, but that was the gist of it -- he wasn't even really rude. The Eagles dude walks over to guy and flips his hat off the back of his head and starts in ... "make me, punk", etc, etc. The fans in the area were stunned at the balls on this guy -- it was really crazy. The Eagles fans didn't even think a thing about it. That's some serious rude and crude action right there.

That was before concealed carry -- I wonder if those humps would do that now? ;-)

My two younger brothers have to hold the record for "most games played" at ball boy. I think they "served" from 1992-1999.

One of them even claims to have been held in the air by LD Swanson and carried off the court after LD hit one of his game winners.

Wow. Is this actual "ball-boy" smack talk?
