I will say that Lasoya seems to be less consistent this year in his play--and I've seen him at every event except HB. Doesn't mean he isn't occasionally brilliant but there does seem to be some decline tho it may simply be a reflection of the turmoil surrounding the team at the moment.

I would say that Lasoya could own anyone posting in this thread in a heartbeat, let alone the best there is. Saying that he is losing it is just stupid.

EDIT ADDED: Extraordinary! (I'm nearly speechless. ) TFP

That is meant to be a correction? You wanna put down the crack pipe and lay off the Lasoya love letters, even if he does reply

 

[Missy Q]

Chris sends love letters?
How come I haven't had any?
He a racialist or something?

Maybe its your gender Missy Q! Who Knows. Personally I dunno who could ignore your black hair and shiny white teeth

Are there referees? If so, I wouldn't be so sure of that one.

Chris's game seems to incresingly rely on the darker arts of the sport, and I Think his hot-and-cold performances may be directly proportional to the qualify of the reffing. There are just too many people who have had the opportnity to really take the sport seriously over the course of years for Chris to be the standout player he was 5 years ago when the talent pool was considerably smaller, and he was 5 years younger. There are very few pro players from 5 years ago still in the game, and I think LAsoya may stil be there more as a marketing necessity than on the face of his skills alone.

Is he a major negative on a pro team? No, not yet, but you could probably find someone who can perform just as well without the attitude problem. So that puts you pitting his marketing value vs. his attitude issues. Tough call.

you need to work on your compliments. You scary, and chicks don't dig that. Trust me, lay off the teeth and hair - a woman wants to be complimented on her shoes. Thats what we spend the most time buying.

.....and besides, its my 40lb booty that gets attention from the brothers. That and my huge breasts of course.

EDIT ADDED: Deluded as usual, I see. I hope someone hasn't clocked you upside the head again. TFP

I cede to your superior foresight. Still can't believe he wasn't under a non-compete contract.

 

[Missy Q]

his outbursts normally come towards the end of his contracts. Don't know if you noticed. There is a method to the madness....

Since Pro-Caps has pulled the trigger and hung it all out, I don't see them marketing themselves in a ninja-like fashion...they'll go all out with a big team that they create or have significant control over...

Yeah but to do that you'd actually have to do some work... and that's not like Chris.

It will be interesting to see how many mag pages he will be on in the future... I bet it's not so many. There has been desent from Infamous to his actions for quite some time now. Notice how few of Infamous shoot his guns anymore? They got tired of putting money in his pocket and getting nothing back. Seems like a familiar tale.

His old friendship with Richmond and some PR deal with Pro-Caps is his only hope now...

No point holding someone to a non-compete if you don't want them around anymore.
