when I joined many years ago, this was my go to place for all Chiefs information /news and NFL News. Now, I primarily go here for the LULZ. Endless arguments of opinion is exhausting to read through.
Poster A: "I like the Color Blue"
Poster B: "
yeah, because Blue has always been 2nd place to Green. ****ing idiot"
I have opinions of players, but mainly keep them to myself. I see with my own eyes and form my opinion. Some internet dork pulling up stats from 1991 to prove some "point", isn't going to change my opinion. For example, I think Smith is an average-to-good QB. I don't think we'll get to, or win a SB with him Period. No amount of posts to the contrary or stats will make me all of a sudden think "you know what?....you're right. he IS awesome. I stand corrected". After watching him for years, my opinion is formed. It doesn't mean I'm right, but it's my opinion. However, I do like having civil discussions with knowledgeable folks on here, even if we disagree. The problem is, other posters chime in an derail it to a shit show so I don't really bother anymore. I like talking with Dane, OTWP, Sorter....several others.
I try not to engage in the endless Smith threads/posts, but admit I sometimes will just from a sarcastic posting standpoint....and I feel dirty about that.
now with smartphones, twitter, Facebook, alerts, apps etc....I can get the same news I used to get 14 years ago without even logging into CP. I mainly come here for laughs and the personas of several posters.
