Yeah. I discontinue sports talk when they say stupid shit like Joekel or we need another running back or ILB or whatever is the new latest greatest. It just isn't worth it. They're too dumb to change their mind. And even if you can convince him that the QB is important, they'll want to take Collin Klein or something dumb. Just let dumb be dumb.

Yup take them out to the local watering hole and buy them a round of antifreeze.

Or, you can let the smart be smart and take your rightful position as an idiot. It's a crapshoot at this point and if you can't concede that then you're arrogant and stupid beyond measure.

I think Geno has potential based on what I've seen but I don't think he's NFL ready as a rookie for the same reason.

I would personally not unfriend you unless you went on and on about it all the time in an annoying fashion. Having a different opinion would not be an issue but people manage their personal social platforms in different ways.

Doesn't make them idiots.
Yup. Sometimes it isn't the message but the delivery.

All they tell me is "He isn't the guy", "He is just like VY/JR", and other useless drivel that shouldn't be even said. I even told them that Joekel is a fine tackle, but isn't our biggest need, and they always reference me to Kiper/McShay.
Same here man. I post the occasional Geno video or something on my facebook page and get flooded with unintelligent posts regarding drafting anyone but a QB.
I can rebuttal anything they come up with facts, stats, and common sense... but they will still refuse to give in.

I hate most chiefs fans.

I agree he should waterboard them until they agree Geno is the pick.

I unfriend people for being overly religious or being a douche. If you are someone I haven't spoken to in 4-5 years, then you are automatically at the top of the list. Also don't post internet posters.

friends who want to remain friends don't discuss religion or politics...or Chiefs football.

I agree with this.

qbsacker93 - If you're taking the ChiefsPlanet approach of trying to pound people into submission with an insistent series of posts that all say the same things over and over you're bound to drive people away. I take the word "continually" in your post, as a sign that you're going overboard.

My advice is to learn how to agree to disagree and move on with your real life friends.

ya, I can't imagine that dick swinging contests will end up well on facebook.

I think facebook is an amazing barometer of where my friends are. If I get unfriended then I know where I'm at. Never, in the history of man, has there been a more practical tool to tell you who your friends really are. I love the thing. It's absolutely amazing. When somebody dumps me, I'm moderately upset for a few seconds but then generally pretty giddy knowing that the system works.

I gained a shit ton of likers this year on RTC just from sticking to my guns on the following truths:

***** sucks
Romeo sucks
Cassel sucks
Draft a QB

I don't miss the people that unliked.

How could you miss them? If you do miss them just turn on 810/610 and they will call in within 5 minutes.
