Interesting seeing the differences between a Jets forum and a Chiefs forum. Jets fans for the most part, as mentioned in this thread, have come back to rational thought and reality in not throwing out the “cheating” nonsense after getting the piss beat out of them for so long. Meanwhile, Chiefs fans are new to the party, and continue to throw out inbred, delusional nonsense.

Growing up and following the Red Sox in the fifties and early sixties, I had to deal with the same situation vis-à-vis the Yankees. Fans of the Lakers, Knicks, Hawks, and Warriors suffered under the brutal reign of Russ and Red. It's part of being a sports fan.

It was part of being a sports fan, back in the days of no free agency, no salary cap, and a 9-team NBA, 14-team NFL and 16-team MLB.

For the past 3 decades we've had powerful forces pushing toward parity, so that the Cowboys making it to 3 Superbowls counted as a "dynasty."

Not enough "parody" in the NFL?

I hate being late to the party or the parody or whatever... I believe he also said "they're supposed to be parody," but too tired to go back & double check...

Add me to those surprised by Jets fan rationality in that thread

A surprisingly good comment in that thread (well, except for spelling and grammar):

The NFL has only been interested in TV contracts and growing their international audience over pretty much everything else. They really have no transparency on anything and little interest wirh improving relationships with hardcore fans. (We'll maybe convincing the parents of future potential players to sign those pee wee league permission slip. But that's it.) The NFL literally makes so much money that can afford to let owners be terrible and lack accountability in personnel.

The NBA, by comparison, is hyper aware of quality control in every facet of their league because their fans constantly demand action and are social media junkies. Lebron making a statement can literally cost them billions. With the Pats still on top, all the time, the NFL still makes wads of cash. With Cinci garbage, Washington a rotting cesspool and every owner cycling through "a hot candidate" every few years. That's if your local franchise doesn't take you to court and move to LA or Vegas.

The Patriots aren't the problem. They are built for success and managed about as well as can be. But the league needs to look at the overall "health" of its league... not just the top but the middle as well. In the NBA: San Antomio, Toronto, the Clippers, Indiana, Portland, Utah, Miami, Houston, Boston, Memphis, Denver, Golden State... All the teams which consistently make good decisions and playoff pushes. Nothing ever skips a beat because league policy and personnel are groomed at almost every level. Big markets still dominate but the small markets are always well maintained. Fromt offices can't afford to be lazy. The "evil eye" in the organization all the time because if the players call their agents... it's all over.

The NFL is a copycat league of nincompoops by comparison, always whining about the lack of good QBs and how college cant produce them any more. Bill is who he is because he's a great coach but also he never let's ANYTHING slip. No other NFL team is on that level. Look at the league, not the Pat's.

Despite the attempts by professional sports leagues to push for parity, every league has a small set of dominant franchises that repeatedly are in the running for championships and a much larger group of also rans whose fans can only fill their respective boards with vitriol directed toward the winners, such as the Pats. We no longer see the almost complete dominance of the old Yankees and Celtics, but there are plenty of franchises in all the major sports who are essentially noncompetitive and whose fans might warrant your sympathy.

That's because they're resigned to their fate whereas Chiefs fans still can't seem to accept no matter how good Mahomes is, he's not overcoming their terrible D in the playoffs.

Funnier if you imagine it being said with that Francesca/NY Accent:

we're going on 2 decades here. 2 long, miserable decades..

New England has ruined the NFL single-handedly

LMAO LMAO okay I found the perfect JETE comment...

"and the whole scheduling thing seems to give them an advantage just about every year."

Dude. Other than you playing the LAST place team in the rival divisions, we have the SAME schedule every year.

bobbutts · Oct 22, 2019

That's not what I expected from a Jets forum. It's hard to kick them when they're this low. Need a better Jets team so I can hate them properly again.

Ivan · Oct 22, 2019

I liked the 1st response in the thread “ there is plenty of “parody” in the NFL.”

Honestly, I've often thought that it must get tedious for non-Pats fans to see the same team representing the AFC half the time for decades. Oh well.

Probably like a non Yankee fan watching Aaron Judge field a routine fly ball and having to listen about how great it was for the next three innings.
