-Please don’t re-post entire stories. That keeps people from actually visiting the site, and increasing traffic is something I’ve been working on for months. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

An unintended effect of Twitter is that it's reminded me of how stupid most football players are. That top 100 list does not bode well for their brain power either. These guys come off much better when they stick to playing football.

What I'm thinking is that, the players did not try on their top 100 lists.

I mean really, for them to just sit down and rank the top 100 players, I'd guess half of them just spent about an hour on it, and their bound to forget someone or some other kind of laziness, also from what I've read in the NFL.com comments on each article about it, it seems the list qualifications weren't clear to the players that it was top 100 of this season, not body of work or potential. Also, the actual rules of making the list cause problems. I think everyone agrees that the top 2 WR's are Johnson/Johnson, but when you look at this year alone, roddy white's stats for this year alone, most TD's, most yards; you would think he is hands down the best receiver THIS YEAR. I still think calvin johnson is and was a better receiver regardless of stats. but if you decide to totally ignore the stats, you can blame anything on the supporting cast. So all of this together makes for a disorderly list.

Not that I think Raji doesn't belong above dockett, but when you see roddy white above megatron...

White has been tremendously consistent the past 4 years and has shown he can do everything from going over the middle to beating a safety deep. He also almost never drops a pass. Personally, right now I would take Roddy White over Calvin Johnson though I think within the next few years Johnson will become the best receiver in football. Anyway, the point is I think there is a real debate.

To get back on track though, Dockett's just suffering from a deflated ego. Nothing to see here.

In past talks with PackerUpdate.. he didn't mind if a portion of the article was posted.. just save some content for traffic to make the jump.



PU usually has some non mainstream stuff in it.. I like the site overall.

I went through great difficulty keeping the old posts for archiving purposes, which is one reason PH was created.

If a post has nothing but a link with a title, and that link dies, then it creates rubbish data on the site that contains the link and it offers little to no discussion.

An author that refuses to allow their material to be linked with full or abbreviated text is an author that lacks confidence in their work and also inhibits their exposure.

If I was writing articles and folks were posting them in entirety with a link back to the source, I wouldn't mind because that means when someone searches for the subject I'm covering, it increases the probability of my material being found and then with a link with the material they can find my site. And if my material warrants it, they'll skip the middle man and make my site a primary browsing navigational point, rather than only bouncing to my site from another.

My point is, it's foolish for someone to limit their content being spread on the internet, in my opinion.


Quite a few don't like Mike Florio, but I really like how he writes up his own opinion-perception-summary to articles he's read and then links to them. I personally think most of the article, plus a link and whomever is posting said link/article should give a thought out opinion on what they've posted serves everyone's interest admirably. I know I'm guilty of failing to do that because often times, I'll find an article and just post it here so I can read it later.

Sites who have adds get money based on how many times the site is visited and/or viewed, so by taking the articles and copy and pasting them some where else makes the site possible earn less money.

So while it might be foolish to turn down exposure, it's also foolish to not try to get your money's worth, and since you need exposure to get the money and money to get living needs and sometimes used on the exposure, it all becomes a catch 22... of which comes first...

For what ever reason most sites have gone towards the money side of the catch 22 and not the exposure side...
