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.

Maybe we should change the sign the players tap to: by KnightlyRevue
Play like Everyone Else Today.
Adzillatrons, Jock Jams, Jazz Hands Uniforms every 5 seconds, Roster Management, Boondoggle trips for "partners", revenue whoring night schedules where student athletes are consistently asked to fly cross country and return to school on Sunday, sequestration from the larger student body, etc. etc. etc.
Obviously, all businesses should operate ethically and treat employees with respect but the fact that many don't doesn't mean Notre Dame should just jump in the cesspool while the water is warm. This whole "we are different" canard is a fetid rotting carcass.
