I'll just leave this here:

No one here has fought with Nut as much as I. But reading the OP was like a gut punch. We're like a family here, and while we may fight like cats and dogs, end of the day we ARE a Brotherhood, and we all want the same things. Good stuff for the Jets and our fellow Jets Fan Family. No matter how much me and Nut might argue, I'd never, ever want anything bad for him. Nothing but hopes and good vibes for his speedy recovery.

Good luck. Get better soon. Kick COVID's ass.

Hopefully he will be, and will produce like one.

What point was that? You're talking about last year. I'm talking about this year. Dismissing people as "trolls" for holding a different opinion is as classic a troll move as there is, btw, I'm happy to agree to disagree with any poster who thinks Sam's age is in any way relevant to his performance in the forthcoming 2020 season. In my view, that's just preemptive excuse-making to cover up their own obvious doubts that Sam actually WILL produce like a Franchise QB this year. Because lets be honest now, if you honestly think Sam is going to be amazing this year, you don't care about his age at all. You'd just be confident Sam will be great.

Wasn't my intent, nor was it (as SAR said) Virtue Signaling. I just know what Political talk does on a football forum better then most. It creates anger and division and conflict and bad feelings. And that's on a normal Tuesday. These days..... In any event, stupid me, it was still a mistake to post it, clearly. C'est la vie.

Well, it's up to Max then if he agrees with you. Clearly you don't agree with my OP.

That's an issue you need to take up with Max. I don't think he agrees. I would hate to see you, or JiF, banned. But you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. Just not sure what good you think you're doing on this forum by talking it here.

It's not that we shouldn't talk about it. It's that this site isn't the right place to talk about it, and it's against the rules here. No one is running and hiding. I've written thousands of words on these topics....just not here.

That is NOT where I thought that post was headed. Lol.

The only agenda I have ever had is a Super Bowl victory for the NY Jets in what is left of my lifetime. Every single word I post, and every opinion I hold, starts and ends with that agenda.

I figured. No worries. Agree to disagree on this. I think his age is not an excuse for poor play. If others think it is, so be it. Lets all agree we hope he breaks out in 2020 with a big year. No matter how old he is.

Well, I do speak through a hole in my throat, so........jk.

We live in some seriously wonky times right now. There is alot going on out there, COVID, Unemployment, Race Relations, Politics, and about a bajillion other things. All of which incites our passions, opinions, and minds to want to talk about it. It also, it has to be said, stresses alot of us out, alot. We're living in some stressful times right now. Wanting to talk about that stuff is natural and understandable. Hell, many of you know I was one of JI's most active posters in the cesspool that was the Politics Sub-Forum. But here at JN, Max, god bless him, has been pretty clear that this site is a "no politics" zone. And that has always included all the various socio-economic and socio-political issues of the day. We all know this. We all know the rules here. Please....lets all do Max, and our great Moderator team (and Crusher), a favor and do a little bit of self-policing on our posts, threads and topics. There are an almost infinite number of better suited places online to talk about all these issues of the day in more topic-specific and topic-appropriate locations. This forum is a place to talk football (which incites our passions more than enough as it is). It can and often is also a safe space (and I don't use that phrase pejoratively) for us to get away from all the stresses of day to day and regular life. To talk something we love, but is ultimately just entertainment, the NFL and the Jets. Lets do what Max asks. Lets keep JN a place to get away from all the craziness, to be friends (who agree or disagree on football) here to share our collective love and passion for the infuriating and beloved New York Jets. Max has been really patient about it, but I can tell, he's had his fill. And we don't want to lose members over this. I'm not a mod, and I'm not trying to be one. I just wanted, as just another poster, to ask my fellow posters to show a little restraint, hard as hell as that can be at times like this. Lets revel in our shared love, shared humanity, in these trying times. /steps off soapbox. Sorry for that, but I felt it was needed. Negrep me if it helps you de-stress

Wasn't that hard after all....
