The construction crap was about you? Didn't know that.
Oooooh ya lol
I admit, such cracks set me off. I'm a blue-collar kid from a blue-collar family who found a talent that pays and more than a little luck to get into posistion to take advantage of it...and so gets to hobnob with the so-called winners., a lot of whom act like their s*** don't stink. Screw that.
Honestly, I don't take him seriously. He's clearly looking for attention from all the threads and spam he post. I actually don't mind him believe it or not, it's just the non-stop spam that's annoying. Literally every thread.
Also it's nothing new or useful with him, just the same old "Josh sux" post every time. Or one of 2-3 other things he sees as absolutes or black and white. Honestly his post are kind of funny.
I mean he's stated that Josh has say in drafting CB's multiple times. Like I'm not in love with Josh, let's just go after him for the right things. No need to make stuff up.
Basically he got bounced from one of my threads for his spam and got really mad. To the point where he's mentioning me directly or indirectly in every other post. I've certainly engaged and not that it matters but it was after his spam in my draft threads and one on the main.
Like he used to asked me questions about football, draft prospects and now I don't know what I'm talking about and a dumb construction guy lol.
I agree with some of his takes. I mean, let's face it, beyond a few people here, the rest are just fans who see what they see and opine on it - myself included.
I know my own area of expertise (not football) and when I see people complaining about this or that in a book or production or video game, then explaining how it should be fixed, I laugh my ass off, because they have NO IDEA of what goes into the sausage they're complaining about.
So, I don't need particular insights or knowledge from 90% (as you say - it's probably more like 98%) of the people posting here. I'd settle for opinions without the mudslinging nonsense, personally.
Oh trust me I get what you're saying and agree to an extent. Especially when it comes to real work.
I think it's useful to have some fans around here and in general, dive deeper though. Most of the media are awful. Very few shows or people out there really explaining things. With all the information and resources available it's nice to see some take things a step further.
There's a fine line. It's certainly not for everyone. There's plenty of things I can't do but it's nice to learn and talk about the game on in depth level sometimes.
I like hearing other opinions and thoughts but it's nice to know what we're talking about too lol
See above: probably more like 98%.
This board has had agendas and such since I've been here, but the venom since the departure of Brady...well, I find myself coming here less often and skimming most of the posts. The site's been Felgerized, and no, that's not a good thing on a fan board.
This is unmistakable and ever present here. It's team Bill or Tom. Or this player sucks and I'll never like him. Very little discussion as opposed to arguments over past stuff.
It's tough. I came here for all the great draft posters, some of the best posters on the site and they never came back. I've been thinking about my time here as well. We'll see what happens I guess.
Let me add one thing, in case I haven't said it before: your draft board makes the draft much more fun for me as I play with mocks. Your rating give me players to look for and read about and watch film on - I wouldn't have the time otherwise. So thanks for that.
No problem, thanks.
