Nice article, Joe Mama

 

[Joe Mama]

Joe Mama was ASFN's first moderator. When Mike Olbinski and I started ASFN I knew I wouldn't have the time to cover the Suns so Chad was invaluable to us.

I'm thrilled he was able to parlay it into a paying job.

yup, I owe Jim a big thank you for creating this web site. Without the site I probably never would have heard of Andy (thegrahamcrackr) or Synergy Sports Technology.

Haha, Im just not as interesting as Chad

haha. I just need to teach you how to ride a dirt bike! Actually, Andy's job is much more exciting and interesting than mine. Don't get me wrong. I love my job. It's perfect for me, but he gets to deal with the teams, scouts, personnel, etc.. He gets to buddy up all of these NBA guys, and he will be traveling out to them this summer and next year.

Cool story Chad...

That is great JM! Congrats!

Is Synergy Sports Technology a publicly traded company?

Nope. We did everything with very little private investment (in comparison to most start up companies) and then got a shot in the arm from Cuban earlier this season.

I can't imagine we will ever go public, but ya never know. If it is ever in the works I'll make sure to post something on here about it though

I admire how upbeat you are, despite the accident.

Great story. I'm glad we're getting to hear about it.

Best wishes, Joe Mama.

You think I like it when scouts and coaches call me all day long?

I know, its a rough job, but someone has to do it!

I should have told him about some of my great voice misrecognitions!

Joe

I like this one:

"I have a pretty good setup here," he said. "When I got hurt, I didn't even know how to turn on a computer. I had to get my 10-year-old brother to do it for me. But I learned a lot using the voice soft wear and just picked it up."

Congrats Joe!

I'm sure I'm not alone in missing your commentary on this board, but it sounds like this is a great opportunity for you. I'm sure Synergy is thrilled with your work, as well.









(For some reason, I always read Andy's sig as: "Chad is a very special person, and I've got him locked in my basement!" I know it's just me, though. )

Joe Mama,

I truly admire your great attitude!

Joe Mama - A Special person with a special job!

These two guys are great. I can't think of anyone better to do what they are doing. I don't really think they get much sleep at all.

Whenever I'm "board-browsing", I always look Joe Mama & Thegrahmcrackr posts. First Class acts & first class posts!

Kudos to both! The articles are insite as to why I've always been impressed with your posts. Great Job!!!! Keep it up!!!

So thats what is wrong with the board this year. A couple of us were talking in a thread about the drop off and I went looking through 1700 or so names looking for who had dropped out & didn't find anyone who'd stopped posting completely. It was Joe Mama cutting back... and Andy as well. Mystery solved.

I hope the jobs lead you both on to great things in the bball world.
