You know what really grinds my gears?

Postby Ron_Y » Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:44 pm

When people dont spell players names right. Im not talking about typos like Xalvin Johnson; im talking about people taking artistic liberty with guys names when it takes 2 seconds to make sure you're spelling his name right. Dontae Moncrief...Mike Evens...Dez Bryent....


Im kind of curious what other stupid things bug the rest of you guys in fantasy football/fantasy football forum posting

When somebody throws out a generic players name and expects us to know who they are talking about. Example: "What do you guys think about Murray next year?" or " Should I keep Williams?"

Also, when someone says "In a vacuum." Nothing is ever in a vacuum people, there is a scenario surrounding everything. Example " How do you feel about player X in a vacuum? Forget about his injury history, off the field issues, and crummy situation. I just want to know about him in a vacuum."

ive found this to be true in every single one of my leagues.... im rostering an old rb, wr, te, or qb...make it pretty clear that im willing and trying to move them for a late rd pick....essentially just looking for a flier and will move my guy who will atleast offer some sort of production. we make it completely through the rookie draft, and a week later i start getting offers for my aging vet for a pick in the next years draft.... why would i give you the guy now, when i could just keep him and see how he may help me this year? you had no interest in him during the draft, but now you want me to trade him to you? you wont give me 5.3 in this years draft for gore, but your more than happy to give my your 5th next year....this just doesnt make any sense to me.

when people in internet forums respond to trade advice posts with: "i wouldn't even respond," "i would just let that expire," etc.

just, awful, awful advice.

When people say "I don't mean to hijack this thread but" and then ask a completely different question.

If something in the thread sparked something else dependant on the current topic then go ahead and ask. But don't say you dont mean to hijack the tread because that is exactly what you meant to do by asking a different question

I wish I could interrupt their post.

"I don't mean to hijack this thread..."
"--then don't. Start your own."

"I don't mean to hijack this thread.." In other words, you feel that you hijacking this thread is outside of your control.

Happens alllllll over the place on redraft forums.

This.

And the OBJ vs ODB thing drives me nuts as well, probably because I know ODB as a rapper, while others may not. I don't fault them for it, but I can't hear ODB without imagining the picture above.
