ESPN.com copies ArmchairGM user(s)

14
Vote

So as most of you know by now, I, False Prophet have been doing my weekly NFL BCS column since early on after taking over for DNL. Well, it seems as if ESPN.com is copying us, with this. Although, because they are such bigshots, they actually get to use big name formulas instead of obscure ones like we use.

We got your back, FP (and ALL other Armchair Users). We are the best of the new wave of the futurenow of sports journalism...

They're just a thousand Monkeys with a thousand typewriters...

It was the best of times, it was the BLURST of times???

F them all with a very large F, be proud you (we and I) are original (by concept AND definition) and keep the 'Chair strong! Let them copy, rob, and mine for he GOOD STUFF. Consider it flattery. Do your thing, don't get upset at the scrubs... I mean scribes. They can take your idea and present it as their own, they can't take your essence, your energy, your soul.

And when all else fails, remember: Amateurs borrow, Professionals steal.

(Or just write such ridiculous articles that no one would want to copy you!)

They might be monkeys with typewriters, but they are extremely well-paid monkeys with typewriters.

#I highly doubt ESPN is reading/copying from AGM
  1. Even if they are that makes AGM Ripoffs of ESPN = 1000; ESPN Ripoffs of AGM = 1

Facitious Devil's Advocate- They were imitating the Real BCS which always takes a few weeks to gather data before producing rankings
