Football Guys: If Internet Commenters Ran The NFL

Today in the official unofficial chat room of the NFL, an Internet commenter is allowed to be commissioner for a day. This will end well.

Oct 12, 2011 - NFL fans on the Internet are extremely diverse in terms of background, opinion, disposition, what they expect out of the game, their reasons for loving the game ... it's beautiful, really. Every day, NFL fans have fun discussing and debating without ever growing hostile or dismissive.

And then there's Guy From The Internet. You know this guy. Might be a man, woman, young, old, whatever. Guy From The Internet dabbles in racist code language, subscribes to talking points broadcast by beer commercials, is willfully obtuse regarding matters large and small, and can usually be found responding to three-year-old "Should Plaxico Burress go to jail?" blog posts with, "YES. HE IS A THUG AND A COWARD. PUNK."

In today's installment of Football Guys, Guy From The Internet is allowed to serve as the NFL's commissioner for a day. Let's see what happens!

All of these have been good so far,
