Anyone else get ticked off by yahoo FF

[areinitz]

There are lots of things the bug me about yahoo FF, one of them is in the news and notes crap they have for all the players sometimes it'll say advie and say something like this:

"Romo will be making his first career start on Sunday and is facing a tough Panthers' defense that is allowing 18.3 points per games with 15 sacks -- eight by Julius Peppers. Romo has limited experience and the Cowboys have three consecutive road contests at Carolina, Washington and Arizona before returning home to face Indianapolis"

That isn't advice, it is just giving you more info.

Dude, what advice are you looking for? Do you think the above paragraph could be interpreted any way other than "Don't start him unless you absolutely have to"?

I don't have Romo, I was just useing that as an example. That wasn't a very good example. What I'm saying that their "advice" is always open to your own interpitation, sometimes its clear what they are saying and sometimes its not. I don't get why they through it in there calling it advice, it just is anoying to me.

I see.

I prefer it that way. I guess I don't really see the point of playing if the site you are using in essence sets everyone's lineups for them.

[areinitz]

I agree, but unfortunatly the people I play in leagues with use yahoo.

[areinitz]

Where do you play McGee?

[Spellmen]

They also have weekly hard rankings in articles that are posted. Check out the Big Rotowski if you want yahoo to select your lineup for you

I'm sorry, but I can't really get on board with what you're saying here. If you're wanting to just be told who to start/bench every week why play the game? Furthermore, it's just not possible for a site like Yahoo to dole out individualized advice when they are writing to people who own Peyton Manning as we as to people starting Joey Harrington.

[areinitz]

I'm not saying I want them to set my roster for me, I don't. All I'm saying with that is that if they are going to call it advice they should straight up say "THISPLAYER would be a good choice this week" or something like that.
