Curt Maggitt - NFL discussion

[Catbone]

Holy crap... Fingers really needs to get in here with a practice thread...

Closed. There won't be one

 

[Iam4utalways]

If name only threads and grammar correction is our main concearn on VN during fall camp, then we be seen some of the gooder days they're ever been saw around hear. 😉

Gooder is not a werd. Your welcome.


You're right.

I absolutely understand quite a few folks in VolNation do not like name-only thread titles.

What I don't understand is, why?

A name alone is not troubling...it doesn't mean something bad happened to the player...it doesn't mean something good happened, either. It has no value, positive or negative. It is simply a statement: I'm gonna be talking about this guy, this player.

So why is it troubling for so many? Put differently, why do so many automatically assume the worst...that the thread is going to have bad news?

Is there some VolNation history behind this? Some series of bad-news threads that all had name-only titles?

Just wondering. Would love to hear from the folks who are actually bothered by name-only titles.


p.s. Go, Curt! Cheering for you, man!

I've thought it was an inside joke for many years.

 

[VolNExile]

I've thought it was an inside joke for many years.

Yep. And so is the grammar correction.

 

[American_PitVol]

Do you correct people's grammar in person? Probably not... so don't do it here internet warrior.

I do...

I've never seen a message board have such a collective hard-on for spelling. Especially when half of them struggle with grammar/punctuation just as much as the next guy.

Need something to complain about. This is the complain generation.

I scene what he did their.:unsure::unsure::unsure:

 

[WillisWG]

yep along with escape goat, mute point and numerous other faux pas, all which I would not bust on someone for using

 

[kell7517]

It stems from the butthurt police like the two posters whining about it above. They have nothing better to do with their life so they complain about stupid stuff like that and they're the same people that love to brag about the fact they're adding you to the ignore list so their safe space on volnation will stay intact.

Says the man who has done nothing but complain/whine in this topic forum. C'mon dude!!

[BaldBiker]

I do...

I do too. Several times a day actually. I guess that means we're OK to continue with our policing duties here then.

At least you and I have the approval of the anti-grammar crowd. :good!:

 

[eman17]

Didnt see a Marquez North thread - how did he do with the Rams last night ?

Saw him on the sideline not in uniform.

itles?

The point of a title is that it explains what the thread is about. Hope that helps.

^^^ this!!

 

[CoaxialOrange]

So is there anything in here about Maggitt or the title and first couple a pages a smokescreen?

 

[Biopsyman]

Roasting is funny

 

[Rockytoptalker]

That's no reason to have a meltdown and assume the absolute worst, simply because a player's name is the title of a thread. Because that's how it always goes.

 

[TNnative]

Go go Curt!! So happy he broke through. Just wish it wasn't Indy but with my Cow Pokes. We desperately could use his help

A reunion with Dooley? Not really sure that is something anyone who ever played under him is hoping for.

 

[stevenrich2003]

GTFO with the grammar police

.

 

[butchna]

Just like in college

Prolly has a horrible WR coach. :glare:

Pretty sure he wouldn't be attending any WR meetings.
