You just had to throw in one more smart-ass remark, huh? Let me put it this way...THIS THREAD ENDS NOW!

Perhaps you should wait and see what type of content ESPN is offering this season before making up your mind? Just a thought.

[quote][b]fordbw (7/18/2007)[/b][hr]Mathew Berry's move to ESPN is like a world famous Chef going to McDonald's.

Sure, he'll improve the quality of their food. But it will never be as good as the four star restaurant he used to run.[/quote]

I guess that's complimentary...in a way.

If you don't follow Matthew or the TMR product to ESPN, for whatever your reasons are, it'll be your loss...and I think it's time we end this thread now. It has served its purpose.

[quote][b]aroquentin (7/17/2007)[/b][hr]Honestly, I won't be following either. It's not a vendetta. I just don't like ESPN and I've been unimpressed with the transition. No hard feelings, no ill will. Just a personal decision.[/quote]

I understand what you're saying. I mean, if you don't like ESPN...you don't like 'em. I'm that way with certain things as well. It's hard to get that bad taste out of your mouth with some companies...like Wal-Mart for me. I just hate shopping there (employee's are rude, too crowded, etc.), but if there's a particular product at Wal-Mart that's on sale that I absolutely need to have, I gut it out and shop there. Sort of a lame analogy, I guess.

I just find it hard to believe if you're a TRUM reader, a Matthew Berry fan, or a fan of the TMR product, including the TMR writers, that you would stop reading altogether because of ESPN. The product is just too good to pass up, no matter where it's hosted. I see nothing but a positive outlook from the ESPN/TMR relationship...the page layouts and content are nothing like they've ever done before now that we're there.

If you don't follow us over to ESPN, we're gonna miss you, Aroquentin. You've been a big contributor to these boards.

I agree...but I think the statement of "not following TMR to ESPN" does.

I don't think changing one's argument constitutes a vendetta.

FYI - You just changed your argument. Below is a definitive statement about following the content to a different URL. You are allowed to have complaints, but this is starting to look like you have a vendetta against ESPN and are searching to find things to post on here to destroy TMR.

Will I be able to find Bob Shenks "Rankin Phile" on ESPN? I seriously doubt it.

FYI: This site is the ONLY reason I won my fantasy football championship last year. Lots of $$$, thanks to TMR.

ok, now back to baseball (currently in first place...once again, thanks to TMR)

[quote][b]fordbw (7/16/2007)[/b][hr]Gee, DAVE, I don't know why I would be expecting TMR to be delivering NFL content when every other fantasy site out there has been cranking out content since the NFL draft.

Meanwhile, TMR has delivered NADA in the way of NFL content since the end of last season.

This site is a joke. If you guys had any pride, you would take down the NFL tab from your main page. Your draft kit links still reference the 2006 kit!

Sad![/quote]

Nice of you to respond to this thread 14 days later.

If I remember right, our football content didn't roll out last year until July. And, I believe our NFL team previews came out around that time as well. So, if you were expecting full content now...I'm not sure why. Most of the columns for the NFL didn't debut until the start of the season, which was the case for the two columns I wrote last year for our NFL coverage.

The content on ESPN, via the '07 draft kit, is excellent. Ken Daube (The Roto Addict) was hard at work again, along with Matthew. And, add in Engel and Karabell...pretty good as far as I'm concerned. I would venture to say that Ken had a lot to do with the individual player profiles, too.

With the acquisition still looming, we just don't know what's going to happen with the site (via writing content). However, it is a known fact, per Matthew Berry, that these boards are to remain intact.

Could someone tell me why there has been no fantasy football content added to TMR since February? One could only conclude that the site is either abandoning football or in the process of shutting down.

That would be a shame, because I won't be following TMR to ESPN.
