*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****
IT ****ING HAPPENED
OP UPDATE: Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! Last edited by Dante84; 05-17-2017 at 09:40 AM.. |

I used to keep ESPN on constantly. Now, I don’t watch it unless a live event is on.

They went to those because they had so many hours to fill, running Sportscenter for 8 hours wasn't drawing all that much.

But they've definitely morphed into something very different as shock television and it's exhausting. Last edited by TwistedChief; 01-10-2023 at 01:48 PM.. |

They do it because it's cheap. Stick a person or two in front of a camera and hope you can get enough viewers to sell advertising.
It's the same phenomenon as reality TV shows. They're cheap, non-nutrititious filler.

There's a big market these days for spreading misinformation, and it makes me curious. Is there a natural hunger for people to hear different perspectives? Do people want to feel special for "knowing" something that is not the mainstream knowledge?
Any argument that Patrick Mahomes is not the greatest quarterback in NFL history is very akin to arguments that the moon landing was faked or that [insert your own political stuff here]. They're arguments that are ludicrous and that go against any and all common sense, but people will embrace them. I've never made the connection that this is true for sports talk as well as other elements of life.

The democratization of media theoretically is an improvement, but only on the basis of one key assumption: that we can see a variety of media through the producers' different lenses and craft together the truth by doing so. That's proven to be a difficult thing because we as the audience also view reality through our own lens. So we favor the media that matches our predispositions. As for myself, I can vet a media source by asking if they think that Patrick Mahomes II is the best quarterback in NFL history. If they immediately answer yes, then I can trust them. If they hesitate for even the slightest moment, they become questionable.

Humans have the need to understand everything around them. When they don't understand something, they make it up or find something that fits within their world view. Conspiracists are entirely self esteem based. They're often people with sensitive egos who need SOMETHING to make them feel smarter and more special than everyone else. They need their place in this world, and self-righteous reassurance does wonders for confidence. See: BlackOps, TaQo John.....any of the conspiritards, really.

People who don't believe in any conspiracy are ****ing stupid. Governments are put in charge of all the people. Thinking the government bats 100% all the time is a strong stance. I have children (4) that I am in charge of, and I lie to those ****ing kids all the time. |
