This is both a response to this thread, and it's own statement....
I'm hereby proposing a new board for the admins to consider...
I propose to call it "Irrelevant Loudmouth Media Zone."
All posts that pertain to media personalities who have no credibility beyond what any of the rest of us have, yet unlike the rest of us, get a media-contrived pulpit and get to earn a paycheck for doing so (... presumably a quite large one, but then again, since the rest of us get zero, anything they get represents an overpay... ) should be relegated/detoured to that new board.
So, this doesn't apply to people like a Shannon Sharpe or a Michael Irvin, who though a loudmouth by any measure, have actually participated in the game in some tangible way...
This also doesn't apply to someone like a Nick Eatman or a Tood Archer, who though not having actually participated in the game in some tangible way, are not employed by some media outlet for the exclusive reason that either is a loudmouth... which, in fact, neither are one anyhow.
Folks, I'm not even kidding. This is a real proposal, even as it is also specifically applicable to this thread. I hope it will be taken seriously. I've been around here for awhile now, and am not some unknown quantity, or worse, a known quantity known for posting specious assertions/questions/requests. Given all of the somewhat low-traffic boards that are featured here that could be judged as superfluous, this would be a very welcome and useful addition, at least from where I sit.
But maybe I'm oblivious, and there's a throng of folks who wait with baited breath for the next pontification from SB or SAS or their ilk. Who knows.
