WildTurkey Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) For what it's worth... In the beginning we received more than a few complaints about "Commentary From the Edge". But Kevin ended up having a successful and popular 10 year run here at The Huddle. Give the new guy a chance. If the new piece turns out to be your cup of tea, great. If not, no harm no foul. Just don't read it. They say vote with your remote for TV. On the 'net it's vote with your mouse. At the end of the season our members will always have the final say. this may be a stupid question but how am I supposed to know if the column sucks or not without clicking on it? Do you guys have TeaLeaf or some kind of analytic software to see whether I click on it and then click off within 5 seconds? I definitely will give it a grace period, and assuming the entire format and content changes I will continue reading, but how would you know the difference between me checking in and making that determination? I dunno the split between regular subscribers and forums posters, so it may be that only the forums posters complain, and you guys have 1000000's of other readers who click on it and dig the content, but without comments being enabled within the columns, it's kind of hard to know. I say know where you stand definitively, and offer commenting, moderated or not, within the columns (again). I don't recall it getting out of hand beforehand, but I may have just not been paying attention.

flemingd Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Translation : The Huddle signed a contract to run this for all season, isn't going to make a knee-jerk reaction to a few dozen posts on the forums, so just don't click it if you don't like it get used to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdickens Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 meh..Jumbotron was ok...then he made a total ass of himself in the forums. Those were good times... I could really care less what he does on the forums, I come here for info and he provided it and accurately. I pay for the numbers that I do not have the time to collect.

BA Baracus Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I also really really really liked Rateree's column, but I would have still renewed anyhow. Hopefully Kevin comes back next season. Oh yeah, bitch, bitch, bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdub1988 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Reading this barbershop stuff just hammered home how much I miss Commentary from the Edge and JUMbotron...those two columns were what kept me coming back to this site. Hard to get excited about coming here anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I thought this week's edition was better, other than a few typo's and grammatical errors. Oh, and Eddie Royal scored 5 TD's in two weeks, not Donnie Avery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 When I say that it was better, I guess it seemed to be a better mix of comedy (less of it) and fantasy content. There were actually a few interesting tidbits of information (rushing numbers versus passing numbers through two weeks, etc.). And, although there are still some funny parts (or at least parts that are intended to be funny), there weren't as many of them, and it didn't seem like the author was trying too hard to make the reader laugh (and going all over the place, topic-wise, in doing so). Still room for improvement, but I thought it was far better than the first two weeks. Those were articles that I felt I could have missed, and wouldn't be missing anything. At least this week's got my attention enough that I'm bound to be interested to see what tidbits are in next week's column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Are you referring to the apostrophe, or did I miss something? Edited September 17, 2013 by Gopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 OK... So, no apostrophe needed (I looked it up, and it's a common misspelling). That's sort of my point... I'm not writing an official column for the site. If I had been, I would have taken the time to double-check my work. As for my spelling mistake, I actually think there should be an apostrophe there (since it's slang for typographical error, and the apostrophe doesn't have to be possessive... it can also be used in place of missing letters in slang/abbreviated words). But, I'm not going to claim to be an expert in the confusing language we call English, so I guess I'll just leave it be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudolefty Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Concur that this week's read was much better. More and better content. Less over the top, laboring trying to be funny. Yeah, QBs and WRs have been dominating thus far. The NFL is a passing league no doubt. Rule changes over the years are making it harder to defend the pass. As in baseball when they say "chicks dig the long ball", in football, fans dig the big plays, quick TDs, and high-scoring games. Still, RBs are important and I believe will retain strong value in fantasy leagues and continue to be drafted high since almost all formats require 2 starting RBs.

You are right on one count, somebody being paid to write, or providing material to those paying for it should take more care than somebody posting on a forum.
