Went to look at current headlines, noticed that it had an article as well as what SportSpyder pulled for several links.

Noticed that under the headlines that links were duplicated again. Looking at it, SportSpyder just pulled stuff that would appear anyway. Seems pretty redundant and inefficient with the extra clicks involved.

I added sport spyder cuz they get tons of things. I'll have to re code soke stuff to exclude sources we already get I suppose. Are sport spyder links duplicating? Maybe I just disable all except sport spyder

This is a bit off topic, but SportSpyder seems like a really neat and an efficient way to get most news items for Packershome.

I have some questions about Sportspyder:

What type of tool is it? What would you call it? An aggregator? AI?
Do the professional leagues like that it exists?
And if someone could talk to me like I am old with a limited IT grasp, how does it 'work' ?

How does 'it' know what items to grab? Where to look? I am familiar with RSS links, is this simply people going to known Packer 'content' producers and following them?
How does it know when to stop 'looking'?
If someone posted something on Twitter regarding the Packers, how would it know to look for it and 'grab' it? Should it, i.e. if I post something about "Packer Cupcakes", would it 'grab' that as a story?

Are there copyright issues?
What is the revenue model, i.e., how to the people who do the app/site get paid? I don't see any ads other than those in the original article

Go Packers!!!!

Also, is it supposed to pull articles rapid fire?

Feels like if you don't read something ASAP it's gone forever.

3. a) I included RSS feeds that I specifically choose.
3. b) I have a program I created that checks every three minutes for new articles
3. c) I'm not scouring Tweeter, but if I were, I would code something that looks for specific hashtags. (e.g. #Packers)
4. See 2.
5. You'd have to contact the original sources. They'll get the digital engagement if the user likes what they read enough to read the full story.

Hey, I don't comment much here but this is my #1 packers site, hands down, for many years. I really appreciate the work you put in here.

I say that because I'm about to ask for some more. My personal experience is that I really don't like the new Spyder thing. It pulls links you were getting already for a second time now. Some are new, but they require a second click through.

I get that it's an easier one-stop-shop for the site's news feed, but I was actually happy with the way things were and miss that.

Would it be possible to have the old "Headlines" section the way it was, and a "SportsSpyder" feed below it? Asking if you could add SportsSpyder as its own, separate feed on the right, instead of merging it so that everything zooms by faster than I can get to it.

I also can't figure out how to get a direct link to the source vs going to their website and THEN the original source. I'm not a fan of that.

The SportSpyder seems to grab a little bit of everything that's recent (before I went to bed that night, I looked at the headlines and it was all pretty recent stuff) but pushes the fan made content (CheeseheadTV, Acme Packer Company etc) off or creates an unnecessary duplicate. SportSpyder also seemed to be grabbing Milwaukee Sentinel Journal but some of their stuff is locked behind a subscription.

Fan Shout

Martha Careful (22m) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (29m) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (53m) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (11h) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20h) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (21h) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, I assume you were among the Packer fans that got the "Go Pack Go!" chant going in the first quarter. Very appreciated!

jdlax (16-Dec) : We are doing the thing out west my friends

beast (16-Dec) : Damn, should have picked the Buccaneers over Chargers

beast (15-Dec) : Note: DuBose was just going all out for questionable location ball, probably never saw the defender. Bad idea to throw it there.

beast (15-Dec) : Yeah, DuBose head went down and he nailed the defender with the top of his helmet, full head, neck, spine potential injury there
