A LB from Oakland gets cut........a thread pops up here....not Pats related.
A RB from Minnesota gets arrested....a thread pops up here...not Pats related
Some mediot says something outrageous...a thread pops up here...not Pats related
Half the NFL rumors from PFT manage to get headlined here....most not Pats related
The Jets Suck (which they do) ....a thread that feeds the lowest common element...that thread lives here.
....and I don't have a problem with any of them. In fact most of the "outside Gillette" threads are a lot more interesting than "Brady is Great" threads or the weekly exposes of posters' inner demons disguised as "thoughts on the game"
My point...........just pointing out the selectivity of the indignation regarding non-Pats related threads.
Personally, I would never read a fantasy thread because it would bore me to tears...but...the reality is Fantasy is huge and it is good business to prominently feature Fantasy....and I'm surprised PatsFans.com hasn't been more proactive feeding the fantasy junkies with extra fluff. (Maybe PatsFans does...I just don't read their articles). With all the tools this site has to offer, it would be very easy for the "old school" purists to coexist with the fantasy addicts that might be ready for a new level.
PS.....Jonas Gray effed me last week........I'll get you BB...and his little McDaniels dog tooView attachment 7531
This board includes OT threads. So, yes, when a mediot is an idiot, there is an OT post. And, yes, whenever a player is cut anywhere, there is an OT post. Perhaps more posts should be labeled OT, perhaps when players are cut. However, the title makes the fact that it is OT clear. And yes, whenever a LB is cut, many posters want to consider him. That is indeed about our perceived lack of linebacker strength. We used to have three linebackers on the Practice Squad; we are done to one.
