DC Tom Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 All in favor? Oh and I have no idea why I am so bad at this league, when I am kicking ass in my other ones. I totally screwed up last week. 2 weeks before my bench almost outscored my team. I think it's time to go full Costanza with this team. I'm going to hypothesize that it's because you're playing against a crowd best described by "So stupid it's genius."

truth on hold Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Hate to open up a can of worms here, but why aren't there any African-American kickers? Maybe I'm forgetting a player or two, but even if so, for the most part the kicking ranks are almost entirely made up of white players. This used to be the case with QBs a while back, and there was an ugly stereotype that black athletes weren't smart enough for the position. But clearly that stereotype no longer exists with a lot of black QBs now. But what about kickers, even the ugly prejudice regarding IQ can't explain where there are none/next to none, as no one thinks kicking has anything to do w/intelligence.

This has nothing to do with fantasy football. But thank you for spreading your special brand of stupid into this thread.
OCinBuffalo Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) While we are on the topic of naming things....what should JTSP's action above be called? Thread Contamination? Thread Pollution? Yeah, yeah we all know about highjacking, but, highjacking requires other people in the thread to give a schit about what the highjacker is saying. Nobody does. It's not the same, hence the need for a new word. Normally the default is to go with connering, or gatoring, but, they generally stay on topic. The dark horse for the name? The fool starts with "Hate to open up can of worms here". There are numerous at work here: 1. No he doesn't hate it. 2. As if his action/content are going to be immediately taken seriously...enough for it to be like a can of woms 3. He's over-determining cause. Standard leftist practice: when something can be caused by many things, or a combination of many things? Ignore that, and instead pretend that only 1 thing is the cause. So, perhaps the dark horse name is pseudo-worming? Faking a can? Plastic worming? Just plain: Worming? I dunno. Edited October 10, 2015 by OCinBuffalo

He's got me on ignore (just for repeating JTSP's own words, not for insulting him -- which makes it even funnier to me) and yet he makes a random post in a thread I started. If I'm on ignore, shouldn't the threads I start be ignored as well? With all that in mind, OC is on the right track. This kind of stuff needs a suitable name.

OCinBuffalo Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 It's called "cyberdrool." Yeah, but that's a noun. We are looking for verb here. Cyberdrooling is interesting. But, drooling is sorta passive/autonomic. We are talking about an intentional act. Also, we might want use something that reminds us of JTSP's posting habits, since he's the one that does this. Tapeworming? You get the parasitic activity == throwing random crap into a thread he knows we are all going to read. LAMPing this crap wouldn't work, because nobody would read/reply to the thread. But, by attaching himself to a thread that is viable, the parasite gets his message at least viewed. You get the worming part, which covers the true origin == JTSP's "can of worms: post. And, you get the creepy worming part == this activity should have a negative connotation, and, parasitic stigma should be assigned to those that do it. How about tapeworming?
Deranged Rhino Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Not starting the Red Rocket is killing me. I can't get out of my own way when it comes to setting lineups.
boyst Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 i'm down. the chips are down. woah. gonna circle the wagons.
TakeYouToTasker Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 i'm down. the chips are down. woah. gonna circle the wagons. You mean the drain. You're circling the drain.
boyst Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 You mean the drain. You're circling the drain. randle and jennings will score ultimately the more they score the more the kicker for the sorry ass team i'm faces will score. that won't help.
boyst Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) transgreg, you and your rogues bore me. not a bad decision to have played Manuel over Manning, gutsy, but not enough. Edited October 18, 2015 by Boyst62
FireChan Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) You know your fantasy league is run by lunatics when you're up by 80 points, the other guy only has a QB and WR left, and you're still a little nervous about winning. Edited October 19, 2015 by FireChan
Luka Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Man I hate fantasy football. Two weeks in a row I get screwed by some random career game from the opponents QB.
