"Breakout player Manny Lawson. As a second-year player, Lawson will have a much better understanding of what to expect at the professional level. He is an ideal fit as an outside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme, which San Francisco will be going to full time in 2007. He has a very long athletic build with fantastic speed off the edge and the athletic ability to play in reverse or in space. Tully Banta-Cain is not a great player, but his presence on the opposite side of Lawson will do both players a lot of good. Lawson has the potential to develop into the feared pass-rusher that San Francisco so desperately needs from the outside."

thats a real informative thread title you got there

good for manny though

7/16/2007 8:58:35 PM

you have about 27 minutes to edit and tinyurl

7/16/2007 8:59:18 PM

tells you all you need to know about whether to click on the thread or not

if you know/like ncstate sports, you click

7/16/2007 8:59:42 PM

lol, are you serious? There are a million manny's out there. As many topics that range this board, it coulda been about manny ramirez for all i know

7/16/2007 9:01:06 PM

to be fair ... i knew it was about manny lawson


all though i also half way thought it was him getting arrested :x

7/16/2007 9:12:29 PM

I assumed ManRam

7/16/2007 9:15:32 PM

I was thinking the handy one....

7/16/2007 9:46:45 PM

on an ncstate message board there is only one manny worth first name only

only one philip

only one torry

adrian

levar

mario

julius

ced

etc


its not like these are super common names in sports

saying john for john mcargo i could understand but c'mon, a million manny's?

manny ramirez

manny lawson

...

7/16/2007 9:46:56 PM

if Manny Lawson was still here, maybe, but Manny Ramirez is a more well known

7/16/2007 9:48:40 PM

that would be fine except that there is a wolf in the upper left hand corner not a red sock..sox...socks

whatever

manny was a first round pick barely over a year ago

everybody on this board automatically forgets about State players once they leave campus except the huge names like philip, mario and julius.

7/16/2007 9:53:56 PM

is you an ass?


Manny Ramirez is known by Manny, people hardly ever even use his last name. It would be like making a thread called "Jordan" and being pissed that we didnt assume it was Murray Jordan from the golf team or something

for my second long link of the night

7/16/2007 9:59:54 PM

umm... that explains everything... I guess, wait.. what was that?

7/16/2007 10:01:17 PM

12/14 threads about a 'manny' are about manny lawson

3/4 using only 'manny' are about manny lawson, granted they gave more clues

but the pt is, people on this board talk about manny lawson far more than manny ramirez

anyway whatever




and besides the first critic said "a million manny's," i've only heard two

that is who i was primarily responding too initially

[Edited on July 16, 2007 at 10:05 PM. Reason : a]

7/16/2007 10:04:00 PM

but people dont just talk about NC State on here... if I saw Manny, Tiger, Jordan, Peyton etc I dont care who is playing for state with those names

7/16/2007 10:07:27 PM

i thought this thread was about mannie fresh

7/16/2007 10:10:06 PM

Go Niners

7/16/2007 10:33:08 PM

I definitely thought Ramirez

7/16/2007 10:34:14 PM

and over half of this board knows of or is a fan of rome (see what i did thar ?)and therefore would use'

ManRam and not manny thus to eliminate confusion

7/16/2007 10:42:40 PM

I hate Rome, didnt realize they call him that on there, I shall never again

7/16/2007 10:48:41 PM

touche`

7/16/2007 10:49:08 PM

being manny

7/16/2007 11:26:00 PM

i thought lawson, and rwoody wins this thread

7/16/2007 11:31:36 PM

I thought it was about Manolo from Scarface

7/17/2007 1:19:48 AM

i was tossed between ramirez and lawson, but what difference does it make? if you didnt like what you opened, big whoop, you wasted 5 seconds of your life

7/17/2007 1:21:50 AM

i thought manny lawson to begin with.

seriously who gives a fuck if you thought it was a different manny when you clicked? big deal. there's much worse thread titles, let it go.

7/17/2007 2:23:48 AM

Well lets just argue about why don't we. Who gives a fuck?


I thought of Manny Lawson intitially as well

7/17/2007 8:30:52 AM

Why is a Tennessee loving fuckstick trying to tell an NCSU message board that a thread title of "manny" is confusing? Seriously, get out you fucking idiot.

7/17/2007 9:05:41 AM

^ so predictable. I knew you all would "defend" Lawson even though you know damn well that if some random guy said "Manny" in July, the middle of the baseball season, you would assume Manny Ramirez... so many State fans suffer from the little man syndrome.

7/17/2007 9:44:41 AM

there is a lot of faggotry in this thread

7/17/2007 9:47:33 AM

no shit, hate people that can be at least somewhat objective...

7/17/2007 9:56:39 AM

When I first saw this, I also thought of Manny Ramirez with the whole "Manny being Manny" thing. However, to make things easier, Ramirez is "ManRam" and Lawson is "ManLaw." Think of the advertising possibilities for Lawson with the "ManLaw" thing.

With that said, I wasted about a minute.

[Edited on July 17, 2007 at 11:09 AM. Reason : manny]

7/17/2007 11:08:50 AM

I thought this thread was going to be about Manny Ramirez. Either way I hope Lawson has a huge season.

7/17/2007 12:25:54 PM

Obviously it is about Manny Lawson because nobody watches baseball

7/17/2007 12:29:21 PM

too bad tww does not equal google,

just as if you were to type manny on a red sox msg board, i doubt anybody would be thinking lawson

7/17/2007 1:40:24 PM

Manny wins this thread.

7/17/2007 1:41:46 PM

^^ tww does equal NCSU though, dickfor

What the fuck are you talking about some random guy? This is a NCSU message board you dolt. This isn't some bum on the street, or your buddies buddy out at a bar somewhere. And for chrissakes, it's baseball, and we all know that like 4 people on this message board give a shit about baseball.

7/17/2007 1:51:38 PM

It's in the middle of the summer and Manny Ramirez hit a homerun last night. It's easy to see how people thought it would be about him and not Manny Lawson.

7/17/2007 1:52:52 PM

Holy shit are you serious. A baseball player hit a homerun, better go make a thread.

7/17/2007 1:56:31 PM

I'll be the first to actually respond to the topic of the thread and say, that's awesome praise for Manny.

He is the fuckin' man.

the point is you could go to ANY message board this time of the year aside from a 49ers one and make a thread called "manny" and I promise you a majority of people would think it was about Ramirez, not Lawson.

oh, i forgot that every single thread was only about NC State and no one talks about other sports, you got me!... And here I was thinking that all those Kobe threads were about some dude in LA... must be something over on the Ag campus




[Edited on July 17, 2007 at 2:54 PM. Reason : f]

7/17/2007 2:52:38 PM

i figured it was about Manny Lawson since it is an NC State message board

Fixed that for you.

Just like if I went on the UT boards and saw a thread about Lofton, I wouldn't expect it to be about Kenny. YOU SEE HOW THAT WORKS?

7/17/2007 3:05:56 PM

1. Lofton is a current player
2. Kenny Lofton isnt nearly as well known as Manny
3. Kenny Lofton was never know mainly as "Lofton", it would be like if you made a thread called "Michael" I wouldnt assume it was about Jordan... but if you made a thread called "Jordan" than I would.


so your point is meaningless


god damn there are some whiney little bitches on here... waaa we get no respect wa wa wa

Who's whining about lack of respect? We are satisfied discussing one of our alums of limited national interest on our own message board. You fail to grasp the concepts of context and setting.
