    It seems apparent that this process is done automatically, possibly by robots

    In response, I say I've seen a number of slimy and argumentative things over the years, but NFL's metanarratives really take the cake. Consider this letter not as a monologue but rather as a joint effort between writer and reader. Together we shall balkanize NFL's garrulous, simple-minded little empire into an etiolated and sapless agglomeration. Together we shall transcend traditional thinking. And together we shall lay the groundwork for an upcoming attempt to make some changes here. The tone of NFL's sound bites is eerily reminiscent of that of disgusting carpetbaggers of the late 1940s in the sense that NFL's expositions should be labeled like a pack of cigarettes.

    ...more poorly reasoned arguments than a freshman philosophy seminar.

    Seriously though, think about it, if duality is real, then there is no life without death. As medical science advances, we will continue to come closer to living forever. But when we do accomplish eternal life, in eliminating death, we're also eliminating life. So, advances in medical science are actually bringing us closer to extinction.

    I don't see how you can argue that.

    Re No. 5:

    I really don't see why this guy had such a hard time spelling "Smith."

    And speaking of San Francisco quarterbacks, I met and subsequently married Joe Montana, Steve Young and the fabulous John Brodie through this awesome new website, www.49erQBmeat.com.

    Check it out!

    And speaking of force, I was fed shots all night and then held down and violated by a guy I met through a fabulous new dating site: www.druckenmillerrulz.com!

    @Aestro17: Actually, I was disappointed to see Grbac remove his disguise to reveal an erratic Chris Weinke, but pleasantly surprised to see Weinke remove his own disguise to reveal a voluptuous Y.A. Tittie.

    Either quality control is completely non-existent or NFL.com is so committed to raw, unfiltered commentary from every day yokels that they refuse to edit the hive mind.

    NFL.com's Director of Quality Control, Fanny Cough Guy, takes umbrage with the above assertion.

    In other words, the comments section over there suffers from a vanishing mediator.

    Like most websites, NFL.com sets aside space to highlight the wittiest, most intriguing comments from its legion of readers in a special place

    I see. And do these other websites also end this feature abruptly and without announcement after a few weeks of existence, even as the "winner" from the previous week was voted on but never announced?
