NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION OT: Week 1 Other Games

Not open for further replies.
Maybe you’re a milquetoast kind of guy. Nothing wrong with that. The world needs all types. But, PF is objectively worse without those personalities on here. Trying to pretend otherwise is merely attempting to fool yourself. If you think that’s bad news, I have worse news for you. Young people aren’t coming to message boards in droves like they used to. They use social media. Ian has an uphill climb on that point alone when competing for free time. If they want to use a board, it’s Reddit. So, while you’re forcing these personalities off the board, just know that there aren’t going to be a crowd of new ones waiting in the pipeline. That means that, as the older crowd begins dying off around here, the place will get even slower and more bland until, eventually, there’s no point in renewing the membership.
While you're not wrong, it's a shame because a forum like this has much more organic, authentic discussion than a place like reddit. I'm not into many of the deep details of football as I used to be, nor do I take it as seriously any more... but everything there is so phony and inorganic by comparison. That's why I come back here if I feel like seeing what's up with anything Pats or NFL related. Even for a little joke post or something. Remember the Diego ***ot thread? Every single one of those posts would've resulted in a permanent ban from the NFL or Patriots subreddit. Guaranteed.

You're dingleberry cousin aren't you?
You love the toxicity haha
 
I am excited to watch some 1:00 football tomorrow. Feels like Christmas Eve right now.

Looking forward to talking X's and O's. Finally, we can halt any discussion about ***ots, Redskins, and other such nonsense.


You have been warned @Guts
 
No Pats game for the UK this week....

SF 49'rs v Steelers
Miami v SD Chargers
Cowboys v Giants

A little effort but worth it to watch the game IMO. Get a VPN, put yourself in the US Boston if possible. Go to Paramount Plus sign up for the free 7 day trial or pay the monthly fee to watch the majority of the Pats games.

Once signed in go to live TV and you should get the local CBS broadcast which will be the Pats game.

Or get the Game day International package as another option.

I agree. I wouldn’t touch Reddit with a 10ft pole, personally, but a lot of people do. That’s who Ian is competing with. He’s also competing with social media. The younger generations aren’t going to use message boards like this one simply because there are too many options competing for their free time.
 
49ers are very good money managers and structuring of contracts.
They are doing what the Redskins did for years. Keep backloading the deals. Eventually that Bill comes due. I think they lucked out by taking advantage of the capless year and front loading alot of the future dead money into that year. Getting them out of cap jail and getting more into cap probation.
 
Thank goodness the public at large is smart enough to see right through that stuff, refuses to reward such nonsense by clicking though such links, and seeks out quality analysts instead.

Wait a minute!

This kind of stuff is wildly popular!

For instance, the public supports the nonsense Mike Felger spews so much that he, his lovely wife Sarah Underwood, and their two daughters live in high style in Wellesley as well as in their summer home on Nantucket.

Turns out, being a heel can lead to a pretty swanky life.
Felger is married to Sarah Underwood? That Carson Daly mid level MFer is actually married to Sarah Underwood?

Strange, but true.

Note we're talking about the Boston media Sarah Underwood, not the porn star Sarah Underwood.

A little more his level. She looks like the type that would ensure she married another local celebrity type to maintain status and what must be a slightly fragile ego.
 
The site is pretty milquetoast compared to how it used to be. Boring. But that’s not so much about craw getting banned as it is years of entertaining posters getting pushed out for their difference of opinions. The board, as of today, is essentially an agreement fest with some thought-provoking debate sprinkled in here and there.

The place misses the Craw’s, the Deus Iraes, the IllegalContacts, etc. The people that used to stir the pot and add thousands of posts worth of either content or entertainment.

Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t give a shout-out to all of the guys who used to be big time homers that packed their bags and never came back after 2019. That was predictable, too. Remember how “HARDCORE” @luuked was? He hit the bricks at the first sign of trouble. Though he still comes around from time to time to grace us with some of the dumbest **** known to man, @shmessy is another one. They’ve also added to the declining levels of interaction, debate, and entertainment.

Bans here are exceedingly rare and occur only after this site's inarguably saintly owner twists himself into a pretzel after bending over backwards trying to cajole and accommodate. The rest come and go of their own accord for myriad reasons without being forced. That includes great posters fed up with the childish antics/disruptive B.S. of those intent on dropping turds in the punchbowl vs. "thought-provoking debate."

Differences of opinion are not now, nor have they ever been, problematic. Agenda-driven agitation for its own sake is another matter. You mentioned Deus Irae -- he concluded Ian was too lenient with the latter and quit. Trying to please everyone, unfortunately, is the thankless task Ian is saddled with. His cautious judgment in that respect is impressive despite being damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. I've been here 20 years and this site existed before that. I see new folks joining all the time. But perhaps it does have a shelf life owing to the alleged generational rift you allude to; if that's the case, so be it. (I might've looked at it wrong but Patriots talk on Reddit seems a big nothing, filled with links to sites like this.)

Membership is a privilege at behest of the owner, not a right. So however he wants to direct comportment is HIS decision and 90-percent of the time I happen to agree with him. Instructive is the fact it happens to be named Patsfans.com, not ****stirrersRUs.

I hope you sprinkle just a tad bit of debauchery tomorrow
I need it
 
I heard Diego ***ot is going to start a trucking company with his brothers. He's going to exchange loads with the other ***ots.

You're wrong. The brothers have a garbage/dumpster company.

I appreciate the advice , and have been told to go the VPN route by others ..but this sort of stuff passed my by a while ago and I am reluctant to download this sort of thing.....its my loss so I will just wait for the highlights.......anyway thanks again for the info.

You're going to be furthermore shocked that he leads a fairly mundane, normal life at home. All the crap that comes out of his mouth is strictly for ratings.
