I will say that in most situations, your right people do those things as a hobby but, in my case I do it for more which may have something to do with my opinion towards FRantasy Football. You put it better than I did as it was less harsh, people let it go to their head and that is where the comment about Fantasy Football came to play, here is the quote I commented on,

GMs make millions because they can actually run a team successfully. <---may not be word for word but I am not gonna look up all that , it isn't worth it to me to do so.
Others just took what I said as a personal attack so I guess I was a bit harsh but I was accurate on how I feel. Regardless to to what you said about playing the game for the first time last season, I really don’t want to play the game, don’t feel I should have to nor that I need to bow down and kiss it’s a$$ either. It is a game for those who wish to dream and that isnn’t being hurtfull or insulting, it is accurate. For Gods Sake the name says it all —->Fantasy<
Football.
Would it be more inticing if I said that the game os for those who wish to fanticize about being a GM? I don’t think it matters because someone will always find a reason to microscope my comments if they don’t like them. I can deal with it, hell, I have had the friggin Gov and Military microscoping me all my life so having it done here don’t phase me at all LMAO….
pCe on thatChris, I am sorry to say but you are just way off base this time around.
I do not believe anyone would sling insulting comments towards your hobby and I will go out on a limb and say that the reason anyone partakes in a hobby it is primarily based on the desire to be good at it while enjoying it as well.
So, you play in a band and get paid and most FF’ers get nothing to play. That does not make your hobby anymore notable however it is non-football related!
If your hobby is more notable, you maye as well root out community softball and basketball leagues, golfers and any other sport/activity that does not generate revenue for the participants.
I guess for some of us, that have played sports in our younger years are just stupid for still being competitive even when it is a hobby or a game. However, I must add to this by saying that one person named Martin Truex did get his path into Nascar by beating Dale Earnhardt Jr in race ONLINE. LMAO!! Hmm…Ya never know these days, eh? hehe
Seriously, I doubt that there are more than a thimble full of folks that seriously think they could manage a real NFL team just because they won in an FF League and there are always gonna be extremists that feel as if “they have what it takes.” That’s when you just learn to smile and nod!
No one says you have to do Fantasy Football and no one says you have to kiss the arse of folks that do partake but I don’t believe you have to ridcule the entire fort.
As I mentioned before, if you will take just a minute to let it soak in…..Fantasy football is really more of a strategic game and admittingly, everyone wants to do the best with their choices. It is, in essence, a game. It is no different than playing Madden with the team of your choice…It is a “fantasy/dream” to win the games against others. Period. Simple.
On a final note, good luck with your dreams of being a noted, popular musician. Personally, I have always wanted to have talents in that arena but I am pressed for time.
See ya!
KansasCityChris;141056 wrote:Actually I didn’t straight up say anything regarding why or what Fantasy Football is for until I was bashed. Simple to say I said that FF points don’t help the Chiefs and I also stated without pointing fingers at anyone that I really hate it when people that think they can do as good a job as a GM because they are good at FF. If that comment bashed you or Big Daddy Tek, sorry bout it but your feelings towards me on that don’t change my opinion about what I said. Fantasy Football is just that, for people to dream about being a Football GM, I consider that being a dreamer. I am not comparing you to me or me to anyone about anything. I just simply don’t feel the same as you and if you Fantasy Football Players all hate me for not feeling the way you want me to that is your problem. Bash me and get down on me all you want to but it actually strengthens my position on how I feel when it is done.now, yet again another post attempting to turn the actual thread away from the origin of it’s post. This post is about Mark Bradley , not KC Chris.
BTW, my opinion on him has yet to change and nobody is attempting to change it by giving me any solid reasons why I should feel Mark Bradley is a solid choice for the first team at WR.1rst, you were bashed because you went into hypercritical mode. Just relax a little, dude.
2nd, being in the fantasy league is a GAME and of course, some folks may let it go to their head but it is for fun, just as the video games are as well.
I, for one, played in a fantasy league for the first time last year and up until then, I leaned more towards the BS side of it. However, my brother-in-law convinced me to do it and I have to admit, it was fun and challenging because you do have to manage your personnel based on injuries and upcoming opponents on a weekly basis.
Seriously, it becomes a strategy game more so than an actual video game and it was entertaining, yet as mentioned earlier in this thread, it does not take a lot of time to do each week.
FF is a hobby which is no different than a person that plays music, golfs, or anything else along those lines.
3rd, In regards to the post and staying on target, the thread was in fact about Bradley and what folks thought of him as a starter this year. I happen to believe that he has potential and the proof will come soon enough.
In regards to the FF side, I will not have him on my draft board!
4th, I don’t think anyone here hates you. In fact, you have some good evaluations and opinions….And you have some that differ with others. Join the “crowd”. All of us do not agree on everything.

I hate what you represent and you hate what i represent..its all good. Thats the way it should be. If i’ve rubbed off as disrespectful..i dont mean too..but again…rivalry guys, come on. Thats what makes the Raiders n’ Chiefs.Funny thing from what I have read up until this point (page 7 I think)….
I have been over to the Broncs forum and was treated with utmost respect and likewise. No one was making the verbal bashes towards me and vise versa.
I ewxplained what I thought about their team and also with ours. None of this about “your QB sucks” and “your coach sucks”, etc etc.
Of course, the fans there said they want to beat us and I said the same about them but the entire TONE was totally different than what you are displaying.
You slap and jab with one hand, then try to smooze it over with the other. Basically, that clearly indicates your level of maturity, particularly when “visiting” the board of a rival team.
Start over and make constructive, valid points regarding your team and show the respect you claim to have by actually doing the same for ours.
This could actually be a good thread had you done that from the start and maintained your composure throughout!
Good Luck!
