What a better way to end a hard working day that with a hard working home team bringing home the championship. Here is to all of you blue collar workers and fans.

I'm quite shocked with this kind of information showing up in UnrealOps.
I am aware UnrealOps leaves its pages open to a certain amount of Off-Topicness.
When these off-topics are somehow related to video-games or are dealing with hardware or drivers so you can run the games in best conditions, I'm confident no-one would complain, but this?

Besides, World Champions? Since when the USA is the whole world ?? (I know it's how the NBA call their championship.)

// While talking about OT? where is your limit? Why not cover Ray Charles' passing, since he's a guy who brought the world much more than a bunch of people whose goal in life is to throw a ball in a hoop.

// Why isn't UT2004's patch 3236 on top of the front page where it would be easier to spot ? Why didn't you include a couple of download links for it as other Unreal sites do? Why is it that this news for UT2004 is only 4 lines longs when the FireFox one (which is quite OT too) takes up almost the whole front page?

Why is it you keep reading if you don't like the site. NO one's twisting your arm. It's his site so get off it already.

(Also, so you know....the news posts appear in the order they were posted on the site. That's why the patch wasn't at the top.)

(Also also, I know other countries play B-ball but how often have they ever won against a U.S. team in the olympics....B-ball is primarily a U.S. sport and that explains mostly why our teams have for the most part been better.....that's NOT to say that other countries don't have sports that they are traditionally better at over the U.S.. Because of this it's pretty safe to call them world champions.....unless of course someone wants to challenge them Razz)

Either way peace out and don't bust a capillary over this....it's not worth the trouble. Smile

Yes shame on you guys. You should just copy everything Planetunreal and Beyond Unreal have on their front pages. FYI the reason you are seeing Detroit Pistons information on this site is because the webmaster is from Detroit and very proud of his WORLD, yup #1 basketball players in the world, champs. Part of this community is getting to know each other, which you obviously have not, not just posting links to information already on other strictly news sites.

Nothing wrong with posting this in the news imo, just so long as they do the same at the end of the 2004 European Cup Wink (not that I care much about football, but I believe in balance Razz)

If someone submits it as news I'm sure Tychie and Co. would...

No, Tycho only has to cover Hockey, "American" Football, Basketball, and Baseball, and only if it's a Detroit or Grand Rapids team.

I'd lay off of him, he's only posted one news topic when there have been plenty of chances to post numerous times.

Besides, Pistons KICK ASS!! Big Ben is awesome. Of course, I only start really watching Basketball when Hockey is over. Which, unfortunately, was a bit early this season.

So, you can all go back to watching your "World Cup", whatever the hell that is....
