Around SBN: Rondo On Slowing Heat: 'They've Got To Hit The Deck, Too'

When did AN jump the shark?

When AN 1.0 became 2.0?
When the SB Nation blog fleet appeared and someone posted a diary asking whether Blez sold out?
When Macha did Nations commercials?
When Diego Chavez asked everyone how to pronounce his last name?
When mcbronsh wrote "what's your f'n problem AN?"
When E-Lo got wasted and hauled ass down the freeway and didn't show up to AN Confessional the next day?
When Jairo Garcia became The Santiago Casilla of Fremont?
When "my $0.02" and "'nuff said" first appeared?
When Blez let other people help him run the site?
When ze diary police were out to get you?
When Charles Thomas came to Oakland and AN was excited about one of the worst Athletics since Billy McMillon and Arthur Rhodes?
When oaktoon/reztips/jrbh/some other rebel left?
When people started asking what to name their babies?
When "FIRE MACHA NOW" became the answer to every poll question?
When Joe Morgan doesn't know shit about Moneyball was a popular argument?
When Ted McGinley guest starred?
When the DLD appeared?
When political commentary dominated the thread about that idiot Tim Hardaway?
When the AN logo changed?
When posternutbag44 appeared and everyone was pissed off because there would never again be a user name as cool as that one?
When butt threads/high socks crew were everywhere?
When Reginald Stephen Shipp Bixby became Reg?
When someone finally refused to drink the Kool Aid?
When Barry Zito started to sing John Mayer and Ben Folds and other horrible music?
When Oakland became the Silicon Valley A's of Fremont?
When Mike Heath was benched for Mickey Tettleton?

It never jumped the shark!

It was the 12th time
someone posted a "ghostride the volvo" diary.

So funny
I just noticed that diary and couldn't believe it. Look everyone! There are these crazy guys ghostriding the Volvo! This is awesome! Most amazing A's video ever! Shit, it's the most amazing video of any kind! WOW! They are freakin' ghostriding that VOLVO!

This video might really be the mark of AN's shark jumping. Good call, mikeA.
