Default Can we combine all these "so and so hates the Pats" threads?

I'm getting tired of reading thread after thread after thread of:

so and so hates the Pats....
so and so thinks the Pats ran up the score....
so and so things BB is classless....
so and so thinks the Pats are classless....
so and so thinks the Pats should go easy on other teams...
so and so is crying about this... or that...

Ok, we get it. Every other team and every media commentator is jealous of the Pats and is constantly saying something stupid about our team. Who cares. You just empower and legitimize them if you start threads about them.

Everyone hates BB. I get it. Whatever. I don't care.

Can we now stop cluttering our board with all that useless drivel? How about a single thread for all the complaining and whining?

I'd rather talk and read about the Pats. The Colts match up. Our weaknesses. Stories about our players. Etc.

So, go right ahead. Talk about the matchup. Or, you can just ignore the threads.

But then we'd only have about 8 threads to play with.

Actually we have been. You're seeing about 1/2 the threads that have been posted.

It just is that the Patriots are the biggest story in sports, nationally, and that the cameragate, running up the score, 19-0 chances etc. etc. are the Patriots culture in 2007. It's all part of the biggest story in sports.

I'm sure it takes some getting used to, but you have two choices: embrace it and enjoy it (10 million Redskins fans would love to have a team so "relevant") or skip those threads. This is a buffet - - you don't have to eat the broccoli if you don't want.

People who keep starting the same thread over and over with slightly different names ie Peter King says the Pats are lousy bums! Clayton says the Pats take no prisoners and are jerks!....well those people should be beaten.

It's getting redundant.

The obvious solution would be to impose a two thread limit per day to people who feel the need to constantly start threads. That would make people concentrate on what they really are trying to get across instead of making this website a personal blog dumping ground for fanboys.

And in the meantime, merge all the media threads that complain about the same topics over and over.

Quality over quantity has completely vanished from this website.

Yeah, I am sure you guys are keeping busy trying to maintain order! LOL.

I just can't remember the last time we had a really good steak dinner around here!

we win 52-7 and the board has 90% threads with negative comments on the pats. is there a purpose? who cares if the whole world thinks we are running up the score!
its entertainment! should pats fans pay for only 3 q of football?
havent you all had enough of the biased press?
every negative article about pats has to find its way to this board?
