This is what is called a vanity post ... because it's all about the poster. On any well-moderated site, these types of threads are usually deleted or moved to a dustbin forum.
Of course, if you read carefully, you would notice that 1/3 - 1/2 of the posts on the front page right now fall in that category. The usual modus operandi is to dredge up some article via goggle, post a link, and then proceed to write a vanity. Never mind that the article has been posted 50 times in the last 48 hours.
These type of threads are what makes it nearly impossible to find the needle of real football discussion in the haystack of vanities on this site.
