NFT: Things that BBI must stop doing:

drkenneth : 1/28/2015 8:26 pm
I'll start:

#1- The "I'd trade down."

-Don't do this. Sure, it would be super-terrific is your favorite NFL team could trade down 2 slots, get some extra picks, and still draft that super-awesome player we all wanted all-along. In the words of Corrado "Junior" Soprano: "I want to fuck Angie Dickinson, let's see who gets lucky first. "

#2- The "It took Toomer 4 years for the light bulb went on."

-Because that's just the way the front office likes it.

That's all I got for now, I'm sure I'll have more shortly. Feel free to ad to the list for a better BBI.
how about those that throw a busy fit

Its more like a brotherhood of ball busting assholes. There are exceptions but now that I am posting this, well I guess I am an asshole too. Eh who cares anymore.
How about stupid mock drafts that are inaccurate anyway.

The inability for some to perform a simple search to see if a topic has already been posted before starting the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th thread on the subject - this incompetence deserves to earn all the stupid German jokes it gets

River Mike : 1/29/2015 7:16 am : link
the thing that should stop (it won't) is attacking other posters. Attack and refute what they said, not them personally. This really comes into play when a poster "has a history". Often attacks occur not justified by what someone just posted, but because of "his history". Refute the post or ignore it. Yeah, right.

The constant fools crying that the Giants should sign some pipe dream for a record setting amount of $ like Suh or Alex Mack. News flash: It's not going to happen.

OK, change it to "we just don't have the dilithium crystals".

1) Expressing an opinion and following it with "that's a fact," or conversely, starting a sentence with "Fact" and then following it with an opinion

2) Mentioning a hot woman and not immediately posting a pic.

3) Taking the time to open and comment on a thread just to tell everyone that you don't care about the thread topic.

referring toi BBI as one collective unit  
pjcas18 : 1/29/2015 7:56 am : link
a lot of people have been here longer than me, but in all my years here there is at most one topic you can legitimately claim the majority of the site agrees on: Weber Grills.

everything else when people say "BBI...." they're usually referring to a small group of individual isolated posters (if that).

I know that Mara forced Reese or Coughlin to..........,

Scouts and commentators like Mike Mayock watch and study film. Fans don’t. We watch games, or highlights of games on television.

Honorifics to Giants owners. Stop calling  
NoPeanutz : 1/29/2015 8:43 am : link
him Mr. Mara, like he's your boss, or he's your client, or your father in-law, or he's sitting across the table from you at a meeting.

It's Mara, or John Mara, or Jerry Reese. The mayor, POTUS, or the owners of any other teams don't get Mr's. It's weird. And feels a little creepy.

Mara's a part of the team, IMO. Like TC, or Eli, or Plax, or OBJ. He can have a normal name, as befits rapid shorthand typing for an online message board. I just don't get the deference here.

We should trade down with the saints 1st rd pick that we got for Shockey, then sign Suh.
