I regularly read and post comments on the _Athletic_, and I am constantly struck by the juvenile, insulting, and thoughtless comments proffered by some posters. Conversely, I am so so pleased and proud of the civil, insightful, and articulate posts here. PattyMac deserves a lot of the credit as an adroit gatekeeper, but everyone posting here has demonstrated a level of thoughtfulness and respect that makes me proud to be a Bronco.

Let’s hope that the upcoming season helps us continue this approach.

Thanks and Props to all of you.

The Athletic comments section used to be a lot better before they got big and bought by the NYT. Now that I think about it, the site in general was perfect in the years leading up to the sale.
