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.

same with the NFL playoffs by irishrock
the best players take massive pay cuts in the playoffs. I believe the playoffs don't pay a difference for win/loss...they just make more the farther the team goes. But the winner does make more in the Super Bowl.
Holmgren used to take the winner's share in $1 bills and put that amount on a table in the meeting room the evening before the Super Bowl...basically letting his players know that the ring is neat, but there is a lot of money at stake.
I've read articles on SI.com where guys who know their team isn't good enough have their Suburban packed with all their stuff for the home playoff games or the last game of the season....as they want to get the hell out of dodge after the game.
