Low Effort Content
Put some effort into your self posts. Examples of mindless self posts are "WE WON, UPVOTE PARTY!", "My opinion on X", or shower thought type posts, especially after games. AI-generated content as well.
This rule is largely up to moderator discretion. If you believe your post is an exception, please message the mods politely. Insulting the mods because they removed your post for breaking the rules will not win you any favors. Attempting to repost a post that was removed may result in a ban.

Player Appreciation Threads
Player appreciation thread will be allowed if they are in reference to career milestones or are related to football. Example: “DK Metcalf is retiring” or “Tyler Lockett just had a 26 rec, 500 yd, 9 td game". Posting about a player's performance must wait until the game is over or the player is removed from the game.
Posting "X player upvote party" and other low-effort posts will be removed. Posts stating an opinion about a player must have some stats and/or analytics to explain your reasoning.

Use the Game Threads

Use the Game Threads
On game days the subreddit has a tendency to get overrun with low quality and low effort posts that are a better fit for the Game Thread, Post Game Thread, or Tell The Truth Mondays rather than their own post. We ask that, on game days, all posts about the game be posted in the Game Thread, Post Game Thread, or Tell The Truth Monday.
If your post was removed and you feel it is worthy enough to stay, please send a polite message to the mods explaining your reasoning and we will review your post.
