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.

reminds me of a Ronnie Lott story: by jt
It was mid-year 1981 and the Niners still hadn't shaken off their losing ways. Guys were milling about, not really getting organized and ready to play and Ronnie and a few other guys were chomping at the bit to get going so they could get on the field. It was nearly time to do the team prayer, but nobody was really ready to go. All of a sudden, Ronnie jumps up and yells something to the effect of "if you stupid motherfuckers don't get in here right now to say the mother-fucking Lord's prayer I am going to kill every single last one of you motherfuckers!"
Pretty sure Ronnie is big on saying some "F cancer" prayers while he is at mass.
