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.

RIP Greg Marx- Notre Dame ‘73- Detroit Catholic Central ‘68 by Jammer
Greg was an All-American & Captain at ND in 1972. He was also an Academic All-American.
He was drafted by the Atlanta Falcolns.
Note: (1) He put a clause in his Falcons contract that they would pay for Law School for Greg when he was done with the NFL. Greg graduated from the Notre Dame Law School.
Note: (2) I was fortunate to tailgate with Greg & his Bank VP before the 1988 - ND-Miami -Catholics vs Convicts game. He was running 26 mile Marsthons during that time & he weighed about 225lbs.
Note: (3) Greg would have been at the Detroit CC Boys Bowl Weekend next Sunday in Novi as his class is celebrating their 50 Year HS Reunion. In 2008, he was inducted into the Detroit Catholic Central Athletic “Hall of Fame!”
RIP Greg!
