You can do search and replace, etc.

I'd say they are "common problems with someone just learning this stuff?"

What might be wrong with this? the removing of the whole table was a tad much. But i do notice they have the fantasy football link and the auto pass links in them. I honestly don't see why this doesn't work haha I hate being a noob and asking so many questions. Really I do cause I feel like I'm annoying people. Anyway here is what I have...

Spoiler:

def preprocess_html(self, soup):
       for article in table.findAll('table') :
            if article.find(href=re.compile('https://audiopass.nfl.com/nflap/secure/registerform?icampaign=AP_article') :
                article.extract()
            else :
                if article.find(href=re.compile('http://fantasy.nfl.com/') 
                  article.extract()
            else :
                continue
        return soup

my understanding of the above is it should find all instances of the <table> tag and then take and look inside that for the https and http links specified. If it finds either of them it will extract it from the soup. otherwise it will continue on. then return the soup without those links yet that doesn't happen
