Did you know
... that you will probably not succeed at DYK if you don't read and understand its eligibility criteria?  Schwede 66  21:35, 6 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I will assume that this is good faith, and if not, remember to not bite the newcomers, I am sorry, I read it after the comment on my second DYK, I learned, I promise. Sportsfangnome (talk) 23:15, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Lamar Jackson
Hello! I will go over the references and modify or add whatever I see that needs to be done. I am no expert on moving to the GA status but I will make sure the references are suitable in my opinion. This could take a little bit so please be patient if that is alright. Red Director (talk) 14:23, 9 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Sportsfangnome (talk) 14:24, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I am not a expert on moving that to GA status either. Sportsfangnome (talk) 14:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I will "hire" without money more people to help you out, if everything is okay or not tell me! Sportsfangnome (talk) 17:50, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * So far I asked Jericho735, but there will be more! Sportsfangnome (talk) 18:03, 9 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I have gone through his article and added the preliminary changes and missing references and fields. No reference/claim stands out as original research. Most of them fit the bill as news website or statistical databases. I can do another runthrough because it is a rather timely process. Red Director (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I think we are ready. Sportsfangnome (talk) 19:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You do the honors. Sportsfangnome (talk) 19:05, 9 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I will let you do so. See this page: Good article nominations/Instructions. I would do so maybe another time. I have a lot of stuff I need to get to on here and in the real world and I am already backed up significantly. Any questions, just let me know. Red Director (talk) 19:29, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for all of your help, you truly were great! Sportsfangnome (talk) 19:33, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Austin
Lol! That is funny. I better not do that because of personal conviction there among many other better reasons. Red Director (talk) 14:33, 9 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank god you are a good person and not a humor vacuum. Sportsfangnome (talk) 14:34, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * When I decide to edit my user page, I may add that one. Thanks! Red Director (talk) 14:36, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I am a person who likes to makes editors day by reminding them they are amazing at their work here and in real life. Sportsfangnome (talk) 14:37, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Barnstar
Thanks for the barnstar! Appreciate the kind words. Red Director (talk) 15:39, 9 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the second barnstar! I think the best way for a GA process to go is for someone with an eye for them to be the nominator. Someone with an eye for GA knows what the process takes to be successful. You can have good intentions but the process to get to a good article and featured article is very in-depth. Lamar should have a career at some point that warrants that if he stays on his current trajectory. Red Director (talk) 21:37, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Things
Hi. You have made thirty edits to main space; I think it's fair to say you are not yet very experienced. So, your attempt at a GA nomination on Talk:Lamar Jackson was first of all misformatted, and second, that article failed GA recently and is not ready for a new review. Similarly, it is unclear what your edit on Talk:Thunder (mascot) meant. Are you suggesting that it no longer meets the criteria for FA status? I strongly suggest you leave such judgments to more experienced editors, and that your time is better spent getting that experience. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:10, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Draft
Hello! That draft could use some more background information based on a quick glance. Always be sure to cite any information on the page. It looks like you know about that aspect of the editing process. I have no expertise on the subject matter so that is in your area. Best of luck! Red Director (talk) 23:30, 19 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Sportsfangnome (talk) 00:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Here is a little summary of how it works.
 * The 32 teams have 7 rounds to pick 7 players, which starts from the worst team picking first to the 18th worst team. This is where it gets tricky to comprehend. the 19th-32nd teams are the teams who made the playoffs. So lets make a fictional playoff bracket that is entirely false and is legitimately impossible to happen.
 * AFC
 * Bye: 1. Buffalo Bills (14-3)
 * 7. Jacksonville Jaguars (9-8) L at 2. New York Jets (14-3) W
 * 6. Kansas City Chiefs (10-7) W at 3. Baltimore Ravens (13-4) L
 * 5. Pittsburgh Steelers (11-6) W at 4. New England Patriots (13-4) L
 * NFC
 * Bye: 1. San Francisco 49ers (13-4)
 * 7. Washington Commanders (10-7) L at 2. Dallas Cowboys (13-4) W
 * 6. Carolina Panthers (10-7) L at 3. Los Angeles Rams (12-5) W
 * 5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11-6) W at 4. Detroit Lions (11-6) L
 * So it goes from losing Wild Card teams records then the worser seed if they are in the same conference. Then they follow these rules:
 * Head-to-Head, if possible
 * Best W-L-T percentage in common games (up to four) (what common games are is like how fictionally the Rams and the Panthers both faced against the Cowboys in the regular season)
 * Strength of victory in all games
 * There is more rules, but it is almost impossible to have to use them, with the last one being a coin toss.
 * 19. Jacksonville Jaguars
 * 20. Washington Commanders
 * 21. Carolina Panthers
 * 22. Detroit Lions
 * 23. New England Patriots
 * 24. Baltimore Ravens
 * Next is the divisional round. It will always be the lowest-seeded team against the highest-seeded team, second-lowest, second-highest, yadda yadda, same rules for the Conference Championship.
 * AFC
 * 6. KC Chiefs L at 1. Buffalo Bills W
 * 5. Pittsburgh Steelers W at 2. New York Jets L
 * NFC
 * 5. TB Bucs W at 1. SF 49'ers L
 * 3. LA Rams L at 2. Dallas Cowboys W
 * So then it follows like this:
 * 25. Kansas City Chiefs
 * 26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
 * 27. Los Angeles Rams
 * 28. New York Jets
 * Next is the Conference Championship, I think you get it, but just in case...
 * AFC
 * 5. Pittsburgh Steelers L at 1. Buffalo Bills W
 * NFC
 * 5. TB Bucs L at 2. Dallas Cowboys W
 * It follows like this:
 * 29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
 * 30. Pittsburgh Steelers
 * Finally, it is the Super Bowl
 * Dallas Cowboys W vs. Buffalo Bills L
 * It then goes like this:
 * 31. Buffalo Bills
 * 32. Dallas Cowboys
 * Whew!
 * Knock knock!
 * Who's there?
 * The off season.
 * The off season who?
 * The off season which makes things more difficult.
 * Oh! What's this?
 * The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wants to get Patrick Mahomes even though they have Tom Brady?
 * Apparently they got Mahomes for their first draft pick in the 2023 NFL draft, which we know is the 29th selection, and they also got rid of their 2024 first rounder, which we do not know what they will get, a 2024 third rounder, a 2024 seventh rounder, and a 2025 first rounder, and a 2026 first rounder. It also says the Chiefs wanted to get the 2027 second rounder but they could not, as teams can only trade their future draft picks after the draft, up to three years, while prior to the draft, it is two years max they can trade that pick.
 * Teams are free to trade picks for picks, picks for players, players for players, picks and players for picks, etc.
 * For example, there were 25 different revisions in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.
 * I don't know how to end this so I will just end it here. Sportsfangnome (talk) 09:12, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This took two hours from my sleep so you better read it! Please. Sportsfangnome (talk) 09:13, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks like it only took one hour of my sleep instead, it is still not healthy. Sportsfangnome (talk) 09:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Death subpage
Hello! Looks like an interesting trove of a wide array of information! Red Director (talk) 14:54, 20 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes. Sportsfangnome (talk) 15:00, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Worst teams
Hey there! Saw you have a "worst teams in football history" section on your userpage and so I thought I'd show you a few more of the worst football teams: BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:28, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 1934 Cincinnati Reds (NFL) season - went 0-8, outscored 10 - 243 and folded midseason
 * 1944 Card-Pitt - aka. the carpets
 * 1927-29 Dayton Triangles - ended their existence with 18 losses and one tie
 * 1926 Louisville Colonels season - one of the few NFL teams to not score a single point
 * 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - started their existence 0-26
 * 2017 Cleveland Browns and 2008 Detroit Lions - not a single win in 16 games
 * 1944 Brooklyn Tigers season - 0-10 in the NFL, merged the next season to become... the Yanks (that's it, no city in the name, just "The Yanks.")
 * Honorable mention: 1921 Tonawanda Kardex season - played one game in the NFL and lost, never played again


 * Thank you my man. Sportsfangnome (talk) 15:29, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

I am proud
A few days ago, I have made a goal to make all of the unassesed articles on American football assessed, when at the time, there were around 800-1,000 unassessed articles. Today, there are only 35 articles left on there. I would like to thank all the people who helped me on assessing the articles. If you are one of the members who helped assess even one article, please put your name and some of your notable work on assessing the articles. Sportsfangnome (talk) 17:33, 23 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Now, we need to do the Importance articles. Sportsfangnome (talk) 17:49, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
