Default I am embarrassed by many of the posts on this board

Where did all the idiots and a-holes who have started posting here come from? I don't remember it ever being this bad. This used to be a great site, far better than most, the place a person could come for some good info (and occasional scrape, when necessary). But now, the majority of what I see here is utter CRAP: it reads like the uninformed, kneejerk reactions of dumdums and preteens. And it's giving us all a bad name. To wit: Bench Tom Brady. BB is an idiot. Pioli doesn't know what he's doing. The Patriots are done. And on and on and on. Don't get me wrong, I think criticism is legit., but many posts by members of this new doofus crew have had zero substance. This would be ok if these posters had at least *some* style, or flair, or insight or something funny to say, but most posts are just semi-illiterate raving.

Seriously, wtf is going on? Am I the only one who wants to see this board return to what it was?


Anyone?....Anyone?

Bueller?

*cough*

No, you're not alone! Unfortunately, there's not as much parental control these days!

It irritating...especially the threads saying things like Brady has lost it.

All I can say is that some of these people aren't used to losing and don't know how to handle it.

They just don't get the season is a progression, with it's ups and downs, a teams fate does not hang on one game, especially in week three.

God bless Trot. You are not alone. And not all the newbies are bad. But most of the bad from the last, say, 8 months has been born of the newbie.

I really think some people are registering 4 or 5 times.

I don't think that many stupid people could decide to do the same thing at the same time.

I think this is right, but I also think that some posters here enjoy losing--because they think it means they can become like Ron Borges, or like I'm Ron Borges? for that matter. In other words, they can become bilious knuckleheads. I also seriously think it might have something to do w/ the redsox season being over; all the doom and gloomers from RedSox nation have come over here to see who can bellyache, moan, and castigate the loudest.

I do believe this is the second time I've said, "Trot, post more."

It makes you wonder if maybe there's some truth when people say Bostonians aren't happy unless they have something to whine about.

It amazes me you guys can't see the forrest for the trees. Smoke is on the horizon, you just can't see it because your blinded by the past, we've got to nip this in the bud, nip it, nip it, nip it. The problem starts with everyones hero TB, if he's going to pout and not play, sit him down until he decides to get with the program!!!
