I don't understand the concept from a viewers POV. Why would I watch someone who is spouting things they clearly don't believe just to get me to bite on being riled up? It doesn't make sense. Why would I watch if it is designed to make me outraged or mad? What is the point of that?

I literally do not understand this concept at all. Billions of people fall for it but for the life of me I cannot understand it.

I hate to be that guy but saying stupid things gets you click and views. It's the new era of social media. Controversy sells. Cam was the talk of the NFL last week for saying Purdy and Dak are game managers. People love that kind of stuff.

 

You're just one of the view who has the mindset to block that nonsense out. It's kind of hard for me because I mainly just watch sports.

That's been the guarding force behind sports talk radio pretty much since Jim Rome hit the scene.

It's not about having a thoughtful discussion anymore. It's about having the hottest possible take (and having it first) then demanding everybody react to it.

At some point, fandom decided dick measuring contests were more fun than thoughtful discussion.

Yeah, I miss both thoughtful and reasoned sports and political discussion. We have really devolved in those aspects.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
