SB Nation Arizona Editor's Pick
The Rec button and greening it up
I know I'm not in the best position to say this, as I am not as active as maybe half of you in BSOTS, but seriously guys, why are we afraid of using the rec button? Though I am a Suns fans first and foremost, I also check out other SB Nation blogs, and since I have no time to really read all the comments, I search for all the green ones and it's really helpful. A lot of the best insights come from comments (at least I believe they do), and some of the best if not THE BEST comments come from Phoenix Suns fans in our blog. However, I can go through a whole game thread of 600+ comments and not see any green comment from our side. This is such a tragedy. I believe (and again this is just my own personal opinion) that if there is one button that should be abused, it is the rec button, and I hope we learn to love the green.

So many people say “rec” and then don’t actually rec the damn thing. It’s so easy my friends….so, so easy.

On some other sites I blog on (not sports related), the system kkeps track of your recs as 'mojo'
and you can earn special priveleges and recognition. You can also click on the ‘recs’ icon and see who recc’ed it, which is nice – you can get an idea of which people like which comments and such. It would be nice if we could implement something like that.
BTW, I rec almost everything Scott says – I know he appreciates it.

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
