Big John Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Here's one more of the silly threads. The "Joe Brown is officially a bust" thread, after just 2 or 3 weeks..... Or "I picked up Joe Brown cheaply off waivers" thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 "Is Joe Brown for real" threads, even though Joe Brown hasn't even officially started an NFL game yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hammock Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 "Is Joe Brown for real" threads, even though Joe Brown hasn't even officially started an NFL game yet. Guys even though I am enjoying this thread... This is a Fantasy Football Forum, isn't it? What else do you guys expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 What else do you guys expect? Less "knee-jerk reaction" threads clogging up the boards. It's fine if people want to post and ask questions, have discussions, etc. I think what many of us have a problem with is when people do one of the the following, just to name a few: - Start a "Is so-and-so playing?" thread, midway through the first quarter, just because the player hasn't caught a pass yet. - Posting that "so-and-so is officially a bust" three weeks into the season. - Starting a thread on a specific player without scrolling down to see that there are already two other threads, discussing the same player, on the first page of the same forum. - Asking "what happened to so-and-so?", when simply looking at the box score for that player's game might explain it. Perfect example would be Drew Brees this week... Sure, he didn't throw any TD's, but it's not like he got hurt or played terribly. The Saints' defense was great today, and they never really had the need to air it out. My point is this... if somebody has the ability to post here, they have the ability to look at a box score or game log that Sportsline, ESPN, NFL.com, and several other sites provide. - Most importantly, starting a thread to ask if "so-and-so is going to play", when he's already listed as Out or Active on the "Gameday Inactives" list on the home page, which updates every 30 seconds prior to kickoff on Sunday mornings. Like I said, discussions are great... this stuff is annoying an unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 There is. As is a page for who's inactive this week, as you stated earlier... But people will continue to be lazy and want others to do the leg work for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westvirginia Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Not really. If you pay for the site there is. If not, you're a leach and should go away anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Joe Brown has just changed his name to Joe Sims-Brown. I suggest you run don't walk to your WW and pick him up as he'll surely explode this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
