Ragnar strike Zimmer with axe.
Ragnar apply for head coach
Ragnar too greedy, priced out
Ragnar feel regret, hope for coordinator position.

I'm talking about his player thread bumps. News that contains helpful information is great but a lot of what he posts offers absolutley no value and generates zero interest or discussion.
A few examples:
Jaguars OC: Marqise Lee is 'the albino tiger at the zoo'
Hefty contract could prevent Browns from parting ways with Dwayne Bowe
Flacco wants to throw deep against Raiders: 'We need to take our shots'
Steve Smith not worried about risk returning punts

If it bugs you that much, put him on ignore.

Actually pretty interesting article. Did he purposely price himself out because he wanted to retire without letting down fans? No way he or anyone giving him good advice would believe he's worth that much, when they already started phasing him out with their own official mascot.
Should have just asked for a few grand a game and kept enjoying the perks ten or more times a year.

You step to Faust, you step to the rest of us. You're the one that needs to be hidden.flc735 said:
Maybe flc735 is also a robot. Would love to see that Robot Wars where Faust lights him up with his kinetic saw blade.

I wish I had more likes to hand out today, so many great comments with positive support that are appreciated by me.
He is either trolling or genuinely annoyed at my posts; either way those are weak examples as they all had information relevant to the players that I was posting to. Most were links, so don't click on the links if you think they will be a waste of time. Or better yet - place me on ignore. My links won't miss your views, but I can guarantee that you will eventually miss out on some important information.
Odd thread to complain in as well because it was clearly about the Vikings mascot, and it was on the more interesting / quirky side of the NFL news as opposed to being fantasy football relevant. I haven't ever seen any leagues where Ragnar is rostered, so skip reading the topic if it has no interest level to you.

This has become a Faust Appreciation thread. And I'm all for it, but back to the OP.
What makes this jagoff Viking fan think he's worth more money than a brain surgeon, or a sixth grade teacher for that matter?

I started a thread awhile back asking if he could just post all of his useless links in one thread but for some reason people love this guy

If he posted all his useless links in one thread... it would be empty.

Right because the Jax OC calling Lee an albino tiger is important stuff..If he posted all his useless links in one thread... it would be empty.

I'm genuinely annoyed with the amount of legitimately useless information you post. I think it magnifies the issue when you use it to bump player threads that have nothing going on or start new threads like you did here. I think this particular thread is suited for the FFA board.
I will put you on ignore and you are right, I will now miss out on some useful information. That's the other reason why I am annoyed with this enough to say something.
I think you are using a very loose definition of what kind of news has any relevance to our fantasy teams. I am very surprised to hear you suggest that those examples are somehow helpful. Why not start posting on the types of cars each player drives? Just because thier name is mentioned doesn't mean it's noteworthy.
I don't click the links. I open the threads when I see them on the 1st page thinking there has been some new developments on the player. I see your post that says the OC called Lee an albino tiger and I close the thread. The time is wasted at that point. this happens multiple times a day.
Name a receiver that doesn't want to return punts.
The albino tiger news doesn't have the slightest impact on ff.
Bowe is a 5th string wr on a bad offense. There are a lot of teams that are stuck with a below average 5th wr that is stuck on a not-so-great contract.
These are not relevant to fantasy at all and did not generate any interest or discussion from the community here.
These are just a few examples I found in a few minutes. There are thousands more.

There is no doubt that the links Faust posts vary in fantasy value, or relevance, but I think you are greatly overstating the time you are losing to the ones that don't interest you. There are always posts in every thread that provide little to no information in regards to the player. Hell, go look at the Christine Michael thread.... there might be 5 posts of any value in those 92 pages.
If you don't care for the links Faust posts... don't click them. If you are so strapped for time that opening a thread to find the last post wasn't of use to you can be qualified as a significant waste of time, well... I don't know what to say to that. Perhaps message boards aren't the best use of your limited time.

I totally get what he's saying
There are threads that should never be bumped that are on the first page and the last 5 posts are just Faust posting a new link every 2 weeks
So you think that maybe there's some breaking news that a marginal fantasy value got traded or signed somewhere where he might be relevant, but nope, just more junk
Time wasted
Front page space wasted

Yes. The few people who have a problem with Faust are clearly right and the vast majority who appreciate him are all totally blinded. Thanks for enlightening us oh wise one.

Faust has more to say in his autobot roto links than the whole lot of jagoffs who complain about losing five minutes of their precious time. Don't like the news, flip the channel, or find another board. Leave us blind to follow the blind.

Why on earth you've chosen to target someone who's posts are relevant to player status 90% of the time and the other 10% are oftentimes minutiae that many of us find interesting as a change of pace confuses me. And yes, you can easily find a 10 to 1 ratio of those posts.
Faust doesn't complain. He doesn't argue. He doesn't incite. He's not combative. He doesn't insult, pander to or prod anyone on the boards. He fills a niche that is not even close to being filled by anyone else. That fact that his posts bother you this much says more about you than it does him.
It's honestly weird. Oh, and this quote:

This is clearly a case of someone unwilling to admit that they are wrong. Calling the rest of us blind supporters is ignorant on your part. You're wrong, bud.

Hey I realize that ya think "blocking" is your best course of action.. But ya see, IF ya had already did such? We wouldn't be able to help you..flc735 said:
Keep commin back for the next two to three weeks, but pay attention (for awhile) what links your actually clicking on..
It doesn't sound like ya wanted to read about Ragnar, so don't waste your time n' patience..
Im almost willing to bet within two -three weeks, ya come to appreciate Faust, and probably enjoy his Ragnar posts (if ya have enough time)

This thread topic belongs in the FFA, not the shark pool.
A lot of what I've said has been taken way out of context already so I'm not going to try to argue against that.
I get my rotoworld blurbs from rotoworld. I come to the shark pool to read intelligent takes on players, expectations for the future and match ups.
I did not say I want news related to only my players even though Mr. Roboto said that I do for some reason. I play daily ff and am interested in relevant ff info about all players.
I am not interested in team mascots or player nicknames. I am surprised so many of you are.
