This is targeted at newbies in general not just you:
It's strange that newbies think that you just could ask something like: "HELP GETTING A CONTRACT. I can play football at a beginners level but I want to play at professional level."
While answering such questions politely might look like the nice thing to do, my response is almost always to ignore the question or go on a rant about the lack of respect it is to ask such questions to begin with.
Oh, yeah forgot to say in the voice of Mr. T: PRACTICE F00L!!!
