The FF Term I hate most is...? (1 Viewer)

VALUE

Ya, I know... Wrong website to be barking about value, since it's so heavily entrenched...

But jesus almighty... Everyone thinks they are the authority on value now a days. Value this, value that...

Give me fantasy football back, please!!!

:popcorn: and you? :popcorn:

 
"Can I play in your league?" As if all league settings and roster sizes are the same. If you type those words you are FF moron.

 
"....and it's not even close"

"bump Finley"

"it's a ploy to motivate....."

"The rolleyes emoticon"

"He can't get separation"

Asst Coach posts made in the Shark pool, followed up with "Oops, sorry about posting in the SP, please move".

Plus one that's more of a general observation, people who say like in every sentence.

Also, kind of in the same mold, I hate when you post your team and people say NICE ## TEAM LEAGUE, like insulting you because you have good players and they think you're in a 6 man league or something. Especially when it's when you have someone like Fred Jackson and Demarco Murray, a late round pick and WW pickup and they're just like LOL U HAVE GOOD PLAYERS U MUST PLAY IN A SMALL LEAGUE
 
"Shark Move"

"...and it isn't even close"

"MARK IT DOWN"

"heard it here first"

"handcuff"

"Is _______ this year's <insert last year's surprise free agent here>?"

 
A player is "due." No such thing.

The notion of a fantasy "expert." No such thing.

Truncation of player names. VJax, ARod, DJax, etc. LAME. See also "WHOS YOUR MOMMA" for guys like Houshmanzadeh. Also LAME.

Posts in the Shark Pool that are about an owner's team. "Does anybody have more injuries than I?" "Who else is undefeated?" Nobody cares.

 
Term - Bellcow RB - They all share carries to some point. How often or what percentage of carries qualifies you as a bellcow. I hear players like Best called a bellcow because he has little competition. I hear guys on teams that pass 70% of the time called bellcows because they get 70% of the carries for their team, even if that's only 12 per game. I hear guys that get 40% carries as RB1 vs 40% for RB2 vs 15% for RB3 and because RB1 has the bigger contract, or more TDs he is the bellcow.

And everything from Hoss' list.

Pet Peeve - Poor spelling and texting shorthand... and the following posts pissing about it.

All of these are annoying. The bottom 2 were never funny.Also hate:"Just sayin""I'm just talking here"
 
"There is no Cleveland Browns offensive player worth starting."

I swear people say it almost every year since 1999.

These usually rear their ugly heads on Friday/Saturday night when the alcohol has been flowing freely for a while.
 
Any sarcastic response beginning with "Ummm..."

Absolutely hate that in real life, and hate to read it even more.

*As an aside: how the heck do I turn off auto-enable signature? I can't find it anywhere and I'm sick of having to manually turn it off every post*

Hahaha, didn't think this thread was going to get many responses, but it's hard not to just vent about the #### that really irks you.

I just remembered a gem of a statement, I hear about 5x or more per league, per year.

"It's fair for both sides" (in reference to the trade offer I received)

ie: foster for moreno and eddie george

rodgers for whitehurst and a turkey sandwhich.
