Honest to God, RS, I know we all love Eli, he's a standup guy, model citizen, Giants front office are assholes, blah, blah, blah.

But hell....playoffs are soon upon us, and the headlines of the NFL Network shows, talk shows, etc. center on the benching of a QB of a 2-9 team.

Playoffs? Don't talk about—playoffs?! You kidding me? Playoffs?!

you put in Webb and see what you have before this draft.

The top thread on the main page is a thread bitching about too many people bitching about Eli getting benched.

Sounds like you should be more selective about the threads you frequent, Ice.

Swiss: too much coverage about Eli, who cares.

Ice: but Swiss you started a thread about something you're saying people are talking too much about

Swiss: Ice you don't have to read my threads

Me: Swiss, if you don't like all the talk about Eli, then switch the channel.

Given your advice to posters to avoid threads started by you that you do not like, there is not a small amount of irony in you complaining about too much attention to Eli's benching. No one is forcing you to pay attention to it.

Unless I am mistaken, which I often am, that is Ice's point?

swiss may enjoy a myriad of sports talk shows on his commute like me. Those shows have been dominated by Eli news for 2 days. ESPN rsdio, NFL radio, mad dog sports, fox sports. Just dominated. I guess I could just listen to music. But I like my sports talk son.

That's exactly right. The apt comparison would be if every OP on this forum was on Eli. The reader is able to scan this forum, choose to read any of a variety of topics. Not so with the sports talk shows, NFLN Total Access etc., ....all Eli all the time.

I don't think so, Swiss. RS does not give the advice you do to ignore what does not interest you, so he commits no gross irony here. You on the other hand are choosing to complain about something you could easily choose to ignore. Simple and obvious.

Edit: I will also add that I give no fucks about this. At all. I was attempting to articulate what I took to be the point of Ice's response to you.

Gotta ask, Lit...is gross irony a technical component of the philosopher's lexicon, similar to material weakness for an auditor, or is it your independent assessment of my indictment of Ice's post.

You're right that I could choose to ignore, go to music or to NPR, but the frustration is in knowing that there is so much football material, interesting to me, that could be discussed, but it's nowhere to be found. Not so when it comes to the choosing of threads on this esteemed website. One fairly consistently has choices ranging from technical articles about two-high safeties, to extraneous bullshit, such as best pizza in Pittsburgh or NYC.
