i don't think the covid vaccine had anything to do with Lebron's son having a heart attack at age 18. As everyone else has been saying, cocaine, now THAT would have something to do with it. But a vaccine? Meh, no.

I like JWill because he's smart. Glad to have him around still but miss Key the most because he's funny. No love lost for Max. He's okay but basically just a less personable Stephen A Smith.

An oldie but a goodie. This guy was almost Trumpian in his clowning of his "followers"..
Catfishing the Banner Chasers
How an exercise in the power of the internet and the vitriol of fandom became an interesting social experiment - and a phenomenal prank.
Among the biggest sources of this new-found hope was an "insider" who claimed to work in compliance at a Power 5 school. Going by the handle @RCCPMD, this "insider" sang to the hallelujah chorus about the depths of UNC's transgressions. He referenced his experience in college athletics, spoke the language of NCAA compliance, and at the end claimed to have seen screenshots of the amended NOA with the pertinent NCAA bylaws cited. Despite having a brand-new Twitter account and an egg avatar (the universal sign of Twitter newbies who are usually discounted as kooks), RCCPMD was given complete credibility and primed the hopes of rival fanbases to a fevered pitch....
It's a pretty interesting social experiment how this entire thing went down. It is a study of vitriolic fandom, the power of social media, and the confidence of talking the talk and walking the walk. Edmond created a Twitter account with clues that might be confused with a person who actually works in compliance at a large university. He started dropping nuggets about compliance and his thoughts on the UNC scandal. Soon after, he began to be followed by and included in discussions with banner chasers and ABCers. As he upped the ante on possible NCAA bylaw violations and repercussions for UNC, he developed credibility among the ABC community until the big dogs started coming on board: guys like Bluedevilicious, Cheating Blue Ram, UNC Meme, BDevilU, and the Pack Pride legend Manalishi....
Slowly but surely State fans and ABCers started tossing around those talking points: a sixth allegation in the NOA, men's basketball specifically named, two and possibly three banners in jeopardy, and eligibility questions back to 1989. Next came the double play of all time - Manalishi posted some of RCCPMD's misinformation on a Pack Pride board as from an "NCAA source", and then Dan Kane himself reached out to RCCPMD via direct message on Twitter...
With Monday morning's announcement that UNC had received an amended notice of allegations, rival fans were ready to see the hammer fall on the Tar Heels. Instead the updated NOA seems to go much lighter on Carolina than the original. There is no sixth allegation; the first allegation is now pretty much confined to women's basketball and football and men's basketball have been removed completely; and the period of time of concern to the NCAA has been reduced from 10 to 6 years. In other words, pretty much the opposite of what RCCPMD had been saying. And after the new NOA was released, this happened:

The Count revealed himself with a picture of the championship banners in the background. Meanwhile he had some harsh words for the victims of his ruse:
NCST won a coveted Bass Fishing national title. UNC now has its own Catfishing national title.

IC, can we agree your sacrifice was worth it to see PP in flames after being assured of cataclysmic penalties?
— CountofMonteCristo (@RCCPMD) April 25, 2016
To DKane, we shared lots of "info", I'm sorry I am a fake person. Know what else is not real? A Pulitzer with your name on it.
— CountofMonteCristo (@RCCPMD) April 25, 2016
Manalishi, I put fake info in a DM just to see if you would use it on PP. You did. Then claimed it was from your NCAA source.
