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.

How true. How about this for ageing myself? by ProV1x
I attended the 1964 NFL Championship game at Municipal Stadium between the Cleveland Browns with Jim Brown and the Baltimore Colts with Johnny U. The Browns won 27-0 with all of the scoring in the second half. Our seats cost a whopping $6 ea and were located in a box right over the home dugout of the Indians. The weather was colder than a grave digger's arse with a steady wind blowing in from the Lake.
A little trivia, this was the last NFL game that the officials' penalty flags were white. Also this was three years before the first Super Bowl, also billed as the First World Championship.
