Come chat with me

Posted: Tue September 29, 1998

Sports Illustrated staff writer David Fleming posts the Fleming File each Tuesday on CNNSI.com.

CY-BERT: Hi everybody and welcome to the Web's best weekly cyber sports chat! We are so psyched you're here. There sure is a lot to talk about this week: football, baseball ...

MACISGOD: All Hail Big MAC!!!!!!

CUBZRULE: UP YOURS!!!!! Sammeeee, how we love ya, how we love ya, Sammy

CY-BERT: O.K., O.K., well it's nice to see MACISGOD and CUBZRULE back with us. You guys behave! Alrightythen, as always, I'm Cy-Bert and I'll be moderating the chat, so no naughty language, no nude postings and no marriage proposals. This means you HORNDOG98!!!! One last thing, I know I say this every week, but with all the incredible, expensive technology this medium offers, these chat rooms really should be more like global town meetings. This wonderful, intellectual ...

FLEMBOY: I am totally naked right now!

WNBANUT: Hey, me too. Age? Sign?

CY-BERT: ... medium should be more than a meeting place for nerds, perverts and cyber geeks. Let's start with college football.

FLEMBOY: Top 25 votes: Miami of Ohio (25), Miami of Florida (22). I'm freezing!

PVIEW: The Prairie View streak is dead at 80 games, BRING ON THE BUCKEYES!!!

AINTS:The 3 and friggin' 0 New Orleans Saints hereby hand over their title as biggest losers in all the land to Langston (Okla.), the team that lost to Prairie View.

SPTDUDE21: Nah, dude, give it to Cryin' Ryan Leaf, hims all upset-ums ...

NFLMAN: That guy has attempted more ugly passes than the Prez.

FBLVR: ... he doesn't score as much, either.

HITME: What about Evander Holyfield? 9 kids, 6 different women? Guy should get into politics ...

FBLVR: ... Or the NBA!

BATMAN: LOL!!!!!!

IMANALIEN: Crop circles are not a hoax!

BUDDRNKR: Jeff Gordon must die :>(

SPORTO: Marilyn Manson kicks ass!!!!!

BEAMEUP: Scully, marry me????

CY-BERT: Wait, wait. Please, you guys, remember? Let's stick to sports. Anyone have any comments about the resurgence of baseball?

BATMAN: I love baseball! I got six Beanie Babies so far.

FLEMBOY: Still naked!!!!!!

FUZZYBALL: Speaking of naked, please visit my Anna Kournikova site ...

NETNUT: Last one there is a Langston!!!

WNBANUT: Gawd I hate these chats. They scroll too ...

MACISGOD: 70! 70! 70!

WNBANUT: ... fast

CUBZRULE: UP YOURS! MVP! MVP!

MRHANKY: OH my god they killed Kenny!

BATMAN: What? Ken Griffey Jr.? I knew Seattle was mad about missing the playoffs, but did they run out of latte up there or something?

SPORTO: You bastards!!!!!!

CY-BERT: Ahem! Why does this always happen, people? Sports. We're here to talk about sports!

FLEMBOY: 48 minutes and still naked!

SOCRMOM: Can someone please tell me why they cancelled the Major League Soccer season?

BOOBTUBE: Chris Berman has become a cartoon of himself.

CLASSOF98: Is this the Backstreet Boyz chat?

MACISGOD: Should I dye my chest hair red, too?

SPTFN: Hey, just got here!

GEEK54: Welcome. Sign? Age? Single?

SPTFN: No. No. I'm on-line to discuss the ongoing moral, financial and spiritual bankruptcy of sports, illustrated by the current NBA lockout ....

CY-BERT: Aw, dangit. Sorry that's all the time we have. Great job everybody. This was our most intellectual chat yet!!! You guys are awesome! See you next week!

FLEMBOY: MADE IT!!!!!!

Spanning the strange and wonderful world of sports, the Flem File has visited a nudist colony, investigated nasal strips, tried out for the Olympic bobsled team and endured injury and humiliation at the NFL Experience. What, or who, should we riff on next week? If you've got a suggestion, a comment or a question, don't just sit there, bring it on!
