There's a scene in Howard Stern's movie where some producer was saying even people who despised him listened to his show because they wanted to see what happened next. These dumb shows are popular for a reason, and they get a lot of eyes and replies for a reason....
I understand the problem and thought the same ... maybe still think the same. These shows are the flame that attracts moths.... the more hot takes they can produce, the more attention they get, and more money they make. But ultimately I don't merge them into one single thread because unless it fills the whole forum, I don't have a problem with a thread being created. It should fall off the first page if it's not noteworthy. This is the philosophy I have for the Astros and Texans forums as well... I'd much rather a thread for every piece of news or topic than a generic thread that covers an entire broad discussion. It's harder to find buried news and much easier to merge threads that aren't necessary.
Clutch We actually have members believe that Max Kellerman CARES about the Rockets. You created this site for Rockets fans with superior intellect! These people are ants!
ESPN needs to pay you for all the clicks they get now. They were falling on hard times til Clutchfans started hanging on every word they say like Kylie Jenner followers trying to figure who's the rapper dad of her kid
