To be honest, most of the off topic comments on threads start "I know this is off topic but...". If I'm not in a good mood then they get a rude response from me these days.

Ideally, comments on article pages should be used to comment on the article page and nothing else. If people want to have a discussion about an event they should start a thread here. However, that would be even harder to enforce and just wouldn't happen.
