This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Saw a good point about this on Twitter by gordonbombay
It was from Matt Sarzyniak, I believe (@mattsarz), who does a good job aggregating network selections for college sports.
Anyway, he pointed out that YTTV is a presenting sponsor for both the World Series and the NBA Finals (I think they may have had a Super Bowl presence as well), and yet they're now cutting off access to over half the teams in MLB and NBA.
I am personally unaffected - I live in Michigan and have no particular need to watch any Detroit teams - but it's a tough spot for those that are affected.
