Hey Faust (1 Viewer)

[Bri]

Thanks for all your work this year posting news here.

Mods, I think this needed to be said off topic or not for the pool.

 

[Childress]

 

[mr roboto]

Agreed.

 

[Faust]

Thanks very much! It is nice to know that my work is appreciated!

 

[Nucker101]

Thanks very much! It is nice to know that my work is appreciated!

Keep it up man, you're one of the reasons why the Shark Pool is still best fantasy football message board out there.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Faust is awesome.

 

[Eminence]

I mean it is cool but you could get the same exact information from reading Rotoworld once a day.

 

[Widbil83]

Big fan.

 

[stewartcjae]

I mean it is cool but you could get the same exact information from reading Rotoworld once a day.

that is just not true, much time and effort is put in by faust and it is much appreciated.

 

[kOOk]

big props always appreciated

 

[Danish Bengal]

Thanks a million, Faust!

We really need some sort of downvote process here. Bonus points if the icon looks like a 130 pound #######.

I thought the same thing at first. But then I realized that I can find what I need on a specific player or topic in a more streamlined fashion. And if someone is willing to do it and possibly help me, why should I be negative?

 

[False Start]

Two things. One, people posting information here is underappreciated regardless of that information anything is helpful. Two, while I do appreciate that information and Fausts attempt to make us all aware of it, he rarely posts information other than links to Rotoworld. While my thoughts are on both sides of the fence, there are many other people who deserve thanks also not just him.

Thanks to everyone who takes time out of their day to provide information and discussion regardless, even the people who go unnoticed or just post once a month. It all provides something. I would say names but there are too many, If you devote a thread to Faust many others should get one too. No disrespect intended.

Untrue.

I meant no disrespect but why is it people only quote one part of a statement? Is it because they want others to not see the whole context of their post? By just quoting that part you make it look as if I am attacking Faust when I am not. I am not here to make haste with anyone including Faust just posting my observations and believe many others should get thanks as well. I think it's unfair that you clearly went out of your way to delete the entirety of my post including the part where I said I appreciate all information.

Wasn't trying to be misleading -- I just didn't disagree with most of your post.

But it's not true that he only uses Rotoworld as a source -- and it's something that gets said a lot. He posts lots of stuff from NFL.com, CBS, SI and others.

 

[fatness]

It is. Thanks.

Nothing against Faust , I generally read his postings , but its nothing that isn't in my RSS ff feed.It's just a right click of the mouse but I do like that I can read it here instead of opening Mr.Reader or Feedly.

thanks for streaming things Faust

You're spinning everything negative in here like a divorcee or an opposing politician. I hope your day gets better and you have a nice weekend. In the inpersonal way of the web, we can't just meet up and buy Faust a beer so some of us are going to say Thanks here instead.

Just one example of something I posted recently that was not Rotoworld:

Cincy’s Secret Weapon

 

[kutta]

I don't care what source it comes from, and even if most of it comes from rotoworld. It sure is better than reading the drivel that a lot of posters post, as illustrated in this thread already. At least we know Faust will be posting real news articles instead of bickering like 2nd grade girls.

I don't understand the knock of where the articles are coming from. I like how you post the articles without comment or putting a spin on it. Just the raw info

 

[zamboni]

Big fan of Faust - no matter what the source of the articles, he does the digging and makes our research easier. That alone is greatly appreciated.

For the detractors, if you want to dig for your own info, go for it.

[pizzatyme]

Glad this thread was started! Tremendous work done. Kudos!

 

[Gandalf]

Agreed. I'm constantly reading everything Faust posts. Love it all. Thank you!

 

[Faust]

The annual threads that I create for training camp have very little Rotoworld content, and a significant amount of my postings in the annual rookie threads are not Rotoworld driven.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Thank you Faust

 

[Biabreakable]

I just wanted to also express my appreciation for Fausts contributions here. If it is relevant, he is almost always all over it.

The difference between what Faust posts and a rotoworld or any other news feed, is that he cuts out most of the irrelevant noise and only posts the stuff that matters.

For a muck raker like me, I appreciate all the clutter that gets filtered out. Faust mostly brings the creme. If you do not appreciate that then I am not sure what to tell you.

[seahawk 17]

Thanks for your hard work Faust. I don't care where you get it from as long as it's legit. I find it useful to myself because I can get all of my football info on one site.

If you're talking about me bickering like a 2nd Grade Girl, that's simply not true. If anything, I provide more content and analysis than most posters on these boards. Mine is all original content, too, you know from my own brain not copying someone elses thoughts:

My 26 page thread about Eddie Lacy before he was drafted.

My 21 page thread about Le'veon Bell before he was drafted.

My 13 page thread about Cordarelle Patterson before he was drafted.

My 25 page thread about Andre Ellington before he was drafted.

My 3 page thread about DeAndre Hopkins before he was drafted.

My Stedman Bailey thread, you know the guy that all the sudden people are on the bandwagon for.

My 2013 Dynasty Rookie Rankings Thread.

My thread suggesting everyone SELL DAVID WILSON when everyone had him ranked as a Top 5 Dynasty Back.

My 26 page thread about the Broncos RB situation.

My David Wilson vs Giovanni Bernard Thread (Poll)

+Prior to the season, Bernard only had 13 votes. He now has 44 versus Wilson's 74 he accrued early on.

Carson Palmer to Arizona Thread.

Thread calling Chiefs making the Wildcard.

My 2013 Players to Avoid thread.

If anything, I'm the guy who's articles Faust will be linking you to.

I guess my point is, YES, Faust is providing a great service to those that are too lazy to go on Rotoworld or Google Search the name of a player that catches your eye on Sunday. But he hasn't shown to me that he is a 'great' Fantasy Football mind. Not saying that he isn't but CTRL + C / CTRL + V is something I learned when I was 13.

Not dogging you Faust, obviously a lot of people appreciated your work in 2013. But there are many respectable minds here in the Shark Pool that deserve more recognition for their ability to draw conclusions about players based on what they see on tape.

Roid Rage?

 

[SameSongNDance]

No, me, me, everyone praise me instead!

 

[mr roboto]

Someone's jealous of the attention Faust is getting...

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Someone hasn't been told he's the prettiest girl in the room enough.

 

[slackjawedyokel]

No need to defend yourself. That guy suggesting that your contribution is worthless is guilty of jackassery.

Something I learned when I was 6 was not bite the hand that feeds me. Perhaps you will get your own key tothe city someday.......but referencing Kanye, does not help you in the originality department

 

[Biabreakable]

Eminence thanks for starting lots of threads. I suck at starting threads. It is a talent of saying enough to get the ball rolling, but not saying too much, so you can leave room for other people to add their thoughts. As proven by your links, you are good at getting that ball rolling.

But I don't think anyone learned a great deal from you saying stuff like "I think Cordarelle Patterson is going to be good".

What made the threads you started good reads?

People like Faust and others fleshing out the information in a timely and relevant way.

You are like an investor taking credit for "creating jobs" when all you really did is put up the capital and took the profits of other peoples hard work. Not that starting a thread is even close to putting up capital. But I hope people get what I am saying here.

If someone else started a thread these same folks would add their 2 cents to that as well. Starting the thread does not qualify you for credit of the content.

 

[RamMan]

Personally I have appreciated contributions by all posters over the years - with "contributions" being the operative word. Even some of the fishing expeditions are good if they generate useful discussion. The bickering/attacking/self horn tooting, etc is a complete bore however.

 

[Slapdash]

Honestly, Faust is one of the bright spots of the board. He does more to encourage discussion, avoid thread pollution, and bring facts than many other posters and staff.

Well said.

Here's the OP from his "Anyone not like Eddie Lacy?" thread:

:?

The OP from his "No Deandre Hopkins thread?" thread:

He's good. Real good. Scores touchdowns. Nuke (sp).

Illuminating.

 

[ImTheScientist]

Faust is a pimp
