Attention Jacko!!!!

I've always been curious but never wanted to ask since Gom was never brought up. Now that he is where did the "watch the gamezzz" reference come up? I see people mention it here every now and then but I could never catch on.

Gom was funny, great at trolling, but he crossed to line a lot. He started to get deeper into personal attacks towards the end of when he was still posting, that's what got him the axe. People gave it back to him, but he made some remarks in very poor taste.

My favorite memory of Gom was all the pointless fantasy trades he always sent me... and then harassed me via AIM about them

[Emmz]

All of that Matt Holliday stuff was just hilarious, and "GOM's bold predictions".

Might has well change this to the official Gom thread.

Who may I ask was this Gom fellow?

Gom would frequently tell everyone how wrong they were on certain players. And when stats were used to support other people's arguments, he would say he doesnt need stats because he "watches the gamezzzz!!!"

Lol do you know what thread he said it in first? Or did he say it multiple times for a catch phrase?

He was a character, that's about the best way to describe him. He was pretty rude, anti-Sox, huge Yankee homer, but for some reason there were a lot of people on the site who didn't hate his guts, that reason being that he was a pretty cool dude off the site. Still a ass either way you slice it, but he wasn't putting on the Gom Troll Show whenever you talked to him on AIM. His best redeeming quality was that he was as good at taking the harassment and trolling as he could dish it out. He was from Egypt, and lots of cabbie jokes were used on him, which he would play along with to the point that it was hard to tell if he was or wasn't actually a cabbie sometimes.

 

Also, he submitted a screenshot once that he accidentally (probably) forgot to close his porn in his browser, so there was a tab for YouPorn open, which he never lived down. (It was a screenshot of I think Matt Holliday's hot/cold zones or something like that, I'd have to re-check, but it was pretty funny).

 

But yeah, lots of people remember him for being inflammatory and irrational.

Sounds like most Yankees fans, at least the last part.
