OK, fess up, which one of you just called the Animal...

Manning up enough to come on here and apologize is a mark in your favor. Most people wouldn't be able to.

Agreed, and I think it should go without saying that if someone is really calling this guy at his work or where his kids are over this that is way, way, out of line.

edit: what red recluse said too

let me preface this by saying if this is real, it's all been pretty ridiculous. anyone looking for you by calling your work or your sons daycare is a sad and embarrassing person. when you hear about things like that because of something so minor it really makes me feel ashamed for being a part of it in the first place.

so let me also offer my apologies to you, greg. and hopefully no one on this site went to those lengths mentioned above.
 
Also greg, welcome to the site. We can always use another voice if you're of a mind to stick around.
 
Big props to come on here, takes a big man to do that.
 
Cfin5256, Thank you, but this has scared me today with the phone calls. I went from having fun and enjoying life to literally scared. It makes me wonder what else these people are going to do, or capable of. Someone sent me a message on Facebook about this thread, which is the only reason I came on here. I am going to back off of being such a huge fan. My life and son isnt worth it. I will stay on for a few days to answer any questions if need be, and then I will cancel my account.
And Red Recluse, trust me, this is all real, and to be honest, didnt realize how far some people would take it.
Once again, I am sorry.
Sincerly, Greg

From one Greg to another, shows some guts to come on here and show yourself and apologize. I am sorry if it was anyone on here that made the phone calls.

First off major props to come out an own up. This is a scary world we live in and unfortunately some folks take things way to seriously, especially with sports betting, etc. I was going to suggest to you to delete your Twitter and Facebook and open up new ones under a new name and give it to just your close friends, that is if you wanted to.

To the person who would actually go as far to call the daycare where his kid is takes it way out of line and illegal and I would report that to the cops if I were you. I would hope no one here would do that but in case they are take some advice and get help. I'm sure you won't own up to it but does it make you feel better to call a place where his kid goes.

I hope everything works out for you.
 
I'm glad you came on here Greg. I heard the call today and understood that you were just another frustrated fan. A bunch of people have made more out of this than should've been.

Let it go now that you manned up and admitted that you were out of line. These kids will either shape up or coach will ship them out. We'll get back to winning soon enough.
 
I would be finding out who called your son's daycare and why this person knew to call it in the first place, Greg. That person crossed a line. Odds are someone needs to be keeping an eye on that individual.
 
It is a sad day when people are really taking this stuff that serious...

Initially this was funny and a good read for a thread but making it that personal to where you would call a guys work and daycare? really? there are some really disturbed people in this world...

We have a lot of HUGE OU fans on here, but hopefully none would go to those lengths to prove a point or drag a guy through the mud on a deal that looks now like it was just an innocent comment that went way wrong...

I'll be praying for you and your family that this will all just go away, no one needs this type of stress in their life...
 
I don't know how a random fan reading this thread could figure out your son's name or what daycare he goes to, or that he even does go to a daycare. Seems a little strange to me.



The apology is appreciated.
 
I have no idea, but this is how it went. Someone called and asked "When does Greg Scallan pick up his son?" Of course the daycare did the right thing and said they have no record of me or my son, for safety reasons of course. They told me about it when I picked him up thinking it was a relative.
The best I can figure, is that someone found my work, and called local daycares asking this. I mean, on here there is a picture of me, my full name and an article of my poker playing days, as well as a high school schoolmate bashing me. Theres no telling, but its crazy. My Facebook page did have, until last night, lots of information about me and my son as well as pictures.
I dont know, really. I have been up all night about this.

Hope it all turns out for the best greg. That's pretty weak. Some sick people out there

"Wow, i can't believe im seeing this guy's name after all these years. I went to high school with him. The guy was one of the most annoying humans i've ever come across. He thought he was some kind of great athlete, but i don't remember him ever playing above JV level. He may have played basketball, but i don't remember it. I know he played baseball and was a horrible player. Some of that might be in part because he only has 1 eye. The other is a glass eye. Looks like he's gone on to great things in his life, haha."
I respectfully want to take issue with this post.
Its easy for you to come on here behind a screen name and talk like this about me. At least I came on here as myself and opened up about everything. I want to clear some things up.
I was born blind in my right eye, its not a glass eye. I started on the Varsity Football team that played for a State Championship in 1993, Class 5A. I never played Basketball, and I never claimed to be some Great athlete.
I think its funny that you call me the most annoying person youve ever met, and the simple fact is you dont even know me.
So, let me get this straight, I went to far with what I did, so that makes it ok for you to come on here and talk about YOUR opionion of me from 15 years ago???? Now thats sad. Simple fact is im happy with my life, and I dont have a mean bone in my body. Maybe you should look at yourself a little closer.
Once again, im sorry for my actions, they were uncalled for.
Greg
 
Hello, I am the Greg in question. I am not one of the aforementioned people, this is my first time on here.
First off, let me say that I am embarrased and ashamed. I am a grown man, and I am coming on here to say that I am sorry for my actions, and apologize. I called in to have a fun time with it, I didnt realize that it would turn into this.
I was sitting at home and checked my Twitter account and saw where Willie Warren posted, Just woke up from a nap, what do I do next? I am frustrated as a OU fan about this season as I am sure alot of you are. I stupidy replied, and he came back at me. He has every right to, and I respect that. As alot of you do, I put alot of my heart into being a Sooner fan, and I support all of its athletics.
I want everyone here to know that I am a good hearted person, with a son I am raising.
I made a mistake, but im not a "Tool" I am a genuine guy, and not the first to take OU sports too far.
I have already got phone calls at my work and someone actually called my sons daycare today looking for me. THAT is ridiculous! I got frustrated and said something I regret, but its not worth my job and losing my sons daycare over it.
Please accept my sincere apologies to everyone here, as well as Willie Warren and the Sooner Basketball team.
This has made me realize that I take being a Sooner fan too far. Once again, I am truly sorry.
Sincerly, Greg Scallan

I'm impressed by this.

Great reason right here that you should never start rumors. And to be honest we have all questioned WW's ability to be a leader and we have all at one point or another questioned his drive to be an OU player. Greg spoke out publicly about it and spoke out directly to WW. We are foolish to think some basketball players dont read this site, so basically we are speaking directly to WW...There is no difference in my opinion what greg did that what alot of us do on this site....The only thing he did that was completely wrong was going on the Al show to laugh about it.

Then hybl4heisman starts talking about Greg having a glass eye. What does a glass eye have to do with his statements?? nothing at all!! It is just funny how some people like to start jumping on the band waggin and raggin on guys with stupid and useless information

actually his thinking was pretty stupid, not just going on the show.

this thread is epic in so many ways.

Hopefully the idiot that called the daycare realizes what he has done.
Is it possible though that it was somebody from your family that called the daycare or somebody from your work?
 
I have asked everyone I know personally. If it was, no one is admitting it. Im sure its a scare me thing more than anything, I just want this all to stop. I dont mind talking about the topic of what happened, but the stuff concerning my son and his daycare I really just want to go away.
 
Props to Greg, takes a big man. In return, I'll approach WWIII about trying to buy of the mortgage he has on your a@#, that was a classic comeback.
