While I generally agree with you that this whole thing is an embarrassment to Chiefs fans, I don't think CP can really take a lot of the credit/blame here. Sure, Clay posts here, and Marty did back in the day I believe, but this was their doing - not ours. We weren't even the main place the story spread - that was Twitter and reddit.
I guess we take the blame for giving Clay a place to finely hone his craft of attention-seeking behavior, but that's about the extent of it for me.
I personally find DC to be far more embarrassing. [Reply]
All that being said, I do think this thread has pretty well run its course. I'm not a fan of putting it in the HOF, so I'd lean toward just locking it or at least moving it to the RR. [Reply]

Before you do that I'd suggest changing the title to something that reflects a more accurate description of this thread.
Something like "How a few fools faceplanted on a story... [Reply]
I've never understand the necessity of locking a thread like this, or placing it in RR. Eventually, people will just normally stop talking about this on their own. Why do we feel the need to intervene? [Reply]

You really think people won't bump this every time EB looks at Patrick with a frowny face? [Reply]

Eh the FBI has never investigated a post in the lounge. Can't say the same about DC lmao [Reply]

A) It’s an embarrassment.
B) I think everyone knows this is one of those threads that will never completely go away as long as EB is still employed by the Chiefs. And even beyond that I can still see dumb ass “bumpers” bumping it from time to time. [Reply]

This thread has nearly 80K views and 2400 replies. It's the off-season, so it's not like there's a plethora of other topics that are getting pushed out of view because of this one thread. Just let it die out naturally.....at least that's my opinion. [Reply]

And? We do this with hundreds of other threads too. I just don't get why this is such a big deal. It's a message board. We shouldn't take it so seriously. [Reply]

Yup.
Every time the offense has a bad game next season(or hell, a bad half), this stupid thread will get bumped with people bitching about EB, Andy or the Chiefs brass.
This thread has run it's course.
I think the movie 'Die Hard' said it best . . . . . . .
