I've said this before, and I think it bares repeating - the only good/real football talk that goes on around here is in the chatroom on gameday, and in the draft sub forum.
I personally gave up a long time ago trying to have productive conversations in threads for a few reasons;
1. I got tired of being a "****ing moron" or "butt ****ing mongoloid" when I didn't agree with someone's asinine take. I have a decent amount of football knowledge, and I enjoy discussing it with others in chat on Sundays.
2. The mega threads are not easy to keep a conversation going in. I could reply to someone, go back to work for an hour or two, and our conversation has already been ruined by the typical "Alex Smith sucks" or "Alex is the best" crowd.
3. The Alex Smith fanboys and the Alex Smith haters derail threads all the damn time. What's the point about trying to have a conversation about the TE position when SweetDaddyHate or another will chime in about "who cares who our TEs are, won't ever matter because Alex is our QB - lololololol"
I love this place, I really do. And maybe in a weird way by starting stupid threads all the time and poking fun at Dane on occasion, I'm just trying to lighten the mood around here. (Though I've recently stopped starting so many threads, as well as poking fun at Dane)
Idk what the answer is to the problems Chiefsplanet is having, but I'd like to be part of the solution. [Reply]

There's your problem.
At least it's not arrowhead pride, where they pass off dumb**** white trash idiots as insiders and experts.

I manage to talk football when it hasn't degraded to Smith talk and don't get called a butt****ing moron.
Cue 30 posts calling me a butt****ing moron in 3,2,1...go!

So a sub-forum that the moderators will have to spend more time cleaning up?
No thanks, because rest assured, there will be buttfucking morons going there just to disrupt things. [Reply]
