Please start a new thread for this Steveeb. Thanks.
Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
Rotoworld gets a lot of jokes thrown around here about their analysis but I got a good laugh about this one:
"Broncos re-signed LS Casey Kreiter to a one-year, $1 million contract.
Kreiter was a restricted free agent, but the Broncos will get him back for less than the lowest tender. The snapper of snaps longer than other snaps in Denver since 2016, it was determined Kreiter snapped snaps longer than usual snaps better than any other snapper of such snaps last season, earning him a Pro Bowl berth."

Haha, I get a kick out of some of the jabs Rotoworld throws in their write ups.

Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
Rotoworld is a joke. It's been a joke for some time. I'd read it for it's humor more than its un biased clarity and accuracy. I chuckle at the thought of using it as a real avenue of information.

Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
I firmly disagree with this. It's a great aggregator of information. Rotoworld blurbs are a poor source for analysis. There's a distinction, and maybe you were talking about analysis.

Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
Years ago I was getting my news feed from CBS Sports, but due to numerous daily typos I switched to Rotoworld blurbs. I felt that these typos could lead to disastrously bad info and was no longer a reliable source. I really don't pay any attention to the analysis but I found that the news was both more accurate and comprehensive than CBS Sports. Now if there is a better source for NFL news, I would be happy to switch again.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 11:41 amI firmly disagree with this. It's a great aggregator of information.

Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
Problem is, it is selective and it frequently puts out half truths and partial stories. I'm not against reading or using Roto as one of several sources in order to keep up with recent developments or news, but depending on it as a primary source is a sizable mistake.

Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
The rotoworld blurbs too often include opinionated takes no more informed or credible than our own takes here on this forum.
I wish rotoworld blurbs would just stick to facts and direct quotes without their attempt to 'interpret' that information.
I mostly ignore the anonymous writer's 'take' and just click the sourced link at the bottom. In this way I treat rotoworld's wire like a news link aggregator, which is all it should be.

Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
Agreed. Rotoworld and similar sites utilize large amounts of writers, mostly working for around minimum wage, posting anonymously. It's not a system that encourages quality updates. Use them for the information updates, not the analysis.ninotoreS wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 2:46 pm The rotoworld blurbs too often include opinionated takes no more informed or credible than our own takes here on this forum.

Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
I stopped taking Rotoworld even remotely seriously when they were campaigning that Jeff Janis was better than Davante Adams. They definitely have their favorites, so it's not really a place to get objective views. Though, it's an excellent source to get all your news bits in one place.
Re: Rotoworld Analysis is a Joke
I still chuckle about Jeff Janis. Janis had one nice box-score in a playoff game because of a couple of long bombs he caught because Arizona ignored him in their game-planning, and rotoworld's blurbs were ready to anoint him a superstar. Janis had never done anything in the regular season before that, and he never did anything after that. Matt Kelley was so very hot for him, too. I think the writer of those rotoworld Janis blurbs must have been a listener of Kelley's podcasts.

They are far less frequent than Rotoviz's, but hopefully they are better. We produce dynasty focused Player News items as well. It's not easy, you may not always agree, but we do at least genuinely care and try.
