Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

New Weekly FanPost Idea:

Hey all,

hope you enjoyed your Superbowl weekend. That or were too drunk to remember. I have an idea for a new weekly Fanpost here at GGN but wanted to know what you guys thought of the idea and gauge interest in pulling this off on my own. Basically, it is a once weekly roundtable discussion of current Jets news/gossip/watercooler talk that is shared on GGN. Details are below.

Star-divide

Every week, a group (3-5) of us would comment on current Jets happenings and provide back and forth conversations cross-fire style with everyone able to comment and input immediately. Think of people at a bar shooting the breeze, talking about what's going on in our organization or around the NFL except you know in a FanPost. The idea is to pull many different people and commentators and put them in one place and let the discussion go where the comments on individual stories will not let us..

(Examples of this week's topics would be: reaction to SuperBowl, how we can learn from the SuperBowl, best/worst commercials, Gisele calling out the Wide Recievers, and whether or not Brady/Manning will ever reach another SuperBowl.) Again, topics will vary from week to week, and month to month depending on what's up coming.

The idea of this is to get the pulse of the commentators and to also provide an opportunity for some real dialogue on news and what were all thinking but not newsworthy enough or not front page worthy. That being said, it's mostly for the people who are part of the conversation, but we would put it on the FanPost section for others to check it out.

I'm looking at getting 3-4 weekly commentators (preferably who use GGN a lot) to get this off the ground that would be the regulars with maybe a guest commentator or a GGN writer/contributor. This would be a weekly thing, we all "meet up" at the same time and post then post our discussion once a week on the same day. If we do get enough interest, we could use a chat room (AIM lol, Facebook, or another software again depending on who joins and what we feel comfortable using.) to record the conversation and I would take it and make it into a FanPost.

So in essence, that's my idea. Basically a group discussion we put on a Fanpost. If you like it, cool. If you don't also cool. If your interested in becoming a regular commentator put it in the comments. If the mods like this idea, feel free to take it and use it. (I'lll let you take some of the credit.)

If you have any ideas or things to comment on put it below.

Are you telling us it has to be 3-5 people?

Or can everyone participate?

So either Sanchez is better than " second coming " or you have to admit that Tebow is no good.

Sanchize, if everyone were participating, it would just be another ggn thread.

Ambitious, but sounds like it has the potential to be a disaster. I’d do it, but I don’t think I can commit to a regular scheduled thing. Good luck with it, either way. I look forward to seeing the result.

Depending upon the timing

I’d be interested.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years." Alexander Tyler

Anyone who wants to be a part of the conversation group:

send me an email in my profile. Put GGN as a subject and also tell me your name on GGN this way i know who you are.

i'm thinking another idea

over at battleredblog (the texans blog) and i think some other sites they have a free for all thread where all the guys on the site basically shoot the breeze and dish about whatever they want. it seems really interesting and i know rexthejet hits that up a lot. check it out aybe there, its called i think “the eternal thread”

that’s pretty much what that was supposed to be for.

I think you should rotate it like a show panel

although you may have to recycle members, and you may find you only want to rotate one or two slots. You could also keep the 3-5 thing loose week to week.

I also think you should have it somewhat faster paced and definitely put a cap on the amount a person can submit/respond to not make it too daunting to read. It would probably also help to pick divisive or controversial issues/stories.

PS I'd be happy to join in from time to time

see if you can use staff from this and other SBN sites from time to time for the guest spot you were talking about. Also an idea is to offer a panel spot to an off site writer or person you may know or follow, but that would probably require you to establish thing as a weekly GGN staple first.

thanks def I would want you or John to greenlight this thing and make sure i'm not stepping on someones gig here.

Also care to be the first Mod/ panel “guest”
if you do my emails in profile, its probably easiest to set it up that way.

This is capable of a disaster though...

I just don’t see this going well.
