A few things:
A). People keep talking like a thread being moved to Chit Chat is a "bad" thing. But if you really observe the bickering that goes on in Rumors/News...it is plainly clear that being moved to Chit Chat is a promotion, not a punishment. This thread started off with a few heated exchanges because it existed for awhile in Rumors/News, where heated exchanges often happen. Yet I guarantee you, if you leave this thread in Chit Chat long enough, it will evolve into a friendly romp of fun & shenanigans; where those people bickering at this thread's start are soon laughing together joyfully in semi-drunken merriment. We turn frowns into smiles...It's just how we roll down here.
2). No harm in having another Football discussion. The sport is worthy of multiple threads. Worse case scenario, since we already have an existing NFL thread (or two or three), we can always turn this one into a "Bash Brady-A-La-Palooza", where we do nothing more than mock Tom Brady & the New England Patriots. Why?, you may ask. Well, why not? If bashing Tom Brady seems over the top, we can always bash Greg Brady. Actually, bashing anyone isn't really nice. And we don't roll that way down here in Chit Chat. So just forget the above idea even happened.
Carry on.
