Hunting For Gems On PFT
Pro Football Talk is the premier rumor mill of the NFL universe. If you want to read up on all the conjecture, speculation, and all sorts of unfounded poppycock, this is where to look. But PFT has a valuable resource of another kind.
Morons.
Anyone who's been around the internet knows how comments work. Either add to the conversation, ask related questions, or make funny quips (the shorter, the better). Tangents are frowned upon, but accepted as long as they're not excessive. And you're supposed to be nice and respectful and all that junk.
Most importantly, those more experienced on these here tubes can immediately spot those who are new to the process. It's awesome. There's errors in logic, syntax, grammar, spelling, and if you're lucky, an allusion to a deity of some sort. And PFT is a treasure trove of these sorts of comments. Here's a sampling, from this article:
bob_nelson: It must be the refs fault that he was napping.The Packers were the most over ratted team in all of football,beating not one team that was either good or not missing at least one of their star players,the packers are a joke,they are the laughing stalk of the NFL.Thank god I have seen the light.
Ooh, Lordy. That's a good one. My question? What happened to using spaces between sentences? It's not like the space bar is broken; he's got space between "laughing" and "stalk".
So here's your task, readers. Go to PFT. Find the morons. Copy/paste them somewhere in the comments, or make a FanShot/FanPost. Give Mike Florio the page views, it's worth it. It doesn't matter what team, what player, or what other subject the comment is about. We're looking for the worst of the worst.

I think I saw that in one of the comments on the Chan Gailey article.
But with far more spelling errors.

jeffragnarchicken (wtf??!) makes a great point about free agency. Sports have changed a great deal since Fran’s day, and the whole idea of a fan base being able to embrace a player is history, because that player very likely could be gone the next year, even to your bitter rival. You gotta root for a team now, which is why Packer fans need to move on from Breanna.

Does copying and pasting "articles" by Florio count?
Cause that guy is an absolute moron. A lawyer pretending to be a journalist.
Frye is honestly gotta be one of the top 10 3rd Stringers in all of the NFL right now--colbyb
Be fair
Sometimes he posts some original unsubstantiated speculation too.
I’ll give him credit for posting a lot of quantity, but I guess I could just search Google news if I wanted that.
