This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

As a Kansas Citian, people said the Chiefs could not win by Irishdog80
without Tyreek Hill. The Chiefs just went out and got three new receivers that in total were paid less than what Tyreek wanted, but they got another Super Bowl win with "replacement level" players. Patrick Mahomes was irreplaceable and that's why he got the big bucks. Most of the rest of the guys...not so much.
The game goes on. Players will be found. The 2 and 3 star guys do not matter as much and are replaceable. The stars matter. Put Mac Jones, DaVonte Smith and Najee Harris on Notre Dame in 2019 and Notre Dame probably wins the game. Difference makers matter not "replacement level players".
And wake up. It does matter who they are tuning in for...have you watched the XFL this year? Neither have I.
