When there's only one Joffa thread on the first page, you know you have a problem.

Just throwing it out there for an idea for Mr Web Guy, but maybe there should be a limit on the number of threads you can start, like there's a restriction on the number of posts you can make, within a certain time bracket. I know that would unfortunately curb the prolific postage of Joffa a little, but it would also stop the spam.

what about only being able to post say one minute after your previous post...it will slow things down a little bit.

Or what about you have slip me a tenner and I will start a thread for you...

N.B I am currently in negotiation with a certain party who have streaming interests in the NFL...it could be a real money spinner.

This is probably a better idea.

You've already got a 30 second break between posts as is, and all taht will do is slow things up and turn away traffic in peak periods.

How much research have you done? Any serious fans are already watching on gamepass. Any casual fans just watch their handful of games a week on cable/FTA.

I still love the one that was posting MLB articles with a link to selling NFL jerseys 'hidden' in it.
