    I see this a lot with sports.

    I don't mean personal opinion. That's whatever. Everyone has one of those whether you agree with them or not. I know I'm vocal about my own.

    It's when the person clearly doesn't watch or know sports but seems to neglect that. They will talk about a player or team and just get the basics all wrong. Usually I just nod my head and let them finish and make a mental note to never discuss sports with that person again.

            I feel like a lot of us here have this problem. We're here because we are probably a bit too in to sports. I can rattle off all kinds of stupid knowledge about rosters from back in the day or something that happened 3 years ago in a regular season game in Week 9.

            It's not even that we're elitists or snobs, a lot of people just don't know what they're talking about and don't know how much I (we) know about exactly what they're trying to talk about.

                I love the game as much as anyone in there, but man, I don't revolve my day around waiting for the next bit of news. When there is news it will be announced. No point in asking every single day.

                I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it gets absurd in there this time of year.

                So logic says when news is available you'll know it. It will be posted at the top.

                If you don't see it, that means there's no news.

                My guess, is that they maybe put it in there with the hope of a dev possibly chiming in with some info.

                They're kind of 'fishing' a little.

                Not saying I agree with it, but it just comes across that way.

                    Actually no.

                                            This is something you should embrace. You've found something you love, who cares if no one else gets it?

                                            In a spin off of this (nothing to do with you, Clemson), it bugs me when fellow music fans love an unknown band, then hate the very same band when they become popular. Going as far as hating the old material they once loved just because the newer stuff has reached a wider audience.

                                                    I'm gonna assume we will see a part two of the song in the Super Bowl.

                                                    The audience will know the storyline. And when it comes on, everyone will stop to watch it because horrible or not, we want to know what they will think of next.

                                                        Word Authentication boxes or called CAPTCHA. Some websites make them so complicated to see what the hell you have to type. All I keep doing is hitting next until there is one I can understand. Hate those things!

                                                            Yeah, it's stupid hackers and spammers that create bots that spam these forms requiring captcha.

                                                            Drives me nuts as a developer, because clients want things to look exactly how they want and captcha rarely fits in that vision.
