WildTurkey Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 two headlines: TORAIN NOT THE STARTER followed by TORAIN ENDS UP STARTING ... they removed the first headline about 5 minutes after the game started. I mean, totally removed it from ever existing.Like it never happened. Like they never said such a thing. Where do they get their "info?" I benched the dude after reading the first headline, then watch him run in a TD. Then watched him get injured. worthless BS.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) If you listen to any advice from Sportsline, you have no one to blame but yourself. It's been well documented at this board for years that their advice is worth nothing other than for comedy value.

biggamer3 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Their projections are hilarious. One week they for some reason projected Prater to get 1 point when the Broncos were playing a swiss cheese defense. Just a random guy pushing buttons at CBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 They also said to bench Scheffler.... I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoBo Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 If you were watching the game why didn't you hear NFL Network say he was starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardman24 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 they should atleast own up to their information. Deleting it like they never said it is pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Credibility isn't exactly one of their strong points.... While that is certainly true... the real truism is that they have no strong points at all. Nary a one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildTurkey Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 If you were watching the game why didn't you hear NFL Network say he was starting? I got back to my place literally 2 minutes before the game started, long enough to log into my league page, check out their "breaking news" and change my lineup ... I never rely on their rankings or advice, but their interface is better than what I was using (yahoo). If anyone cares, I doubt it will matter in the grand scheme of things that I rested Torian because I trusted sportsline's poopyty advice. Good luck to everyone this weekend.

WildTurkey Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 they should atleast own up to their information. Deleting it like they never said it is pretty bad. that's the part that really made me PO'ed (and then laugh hilariously later). What kind of a bo-bo move is that, posting it, then removing it like they never said it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) While that is certainly true... the real truism is that they have no strong points at all. Nary a one. Yea, but that is kind of the upside of my main local using Sportsline. It's not my fault if they listen to bad advice.

As long as all the others in your league just use Sportsline for their info I guess you have a point. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
