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.

Ewell officially off the 85-man roster. by G.K.Chesterton
The enigmatic football career of junior nose guard Darnell Ewell is over but apparently not his academic pursuits at Notre Dame.
ND head coach Brian Kelly told the Tribune that Ewell will take a medical hardship, a move that leaves the Irish at the NCAA-mandated scholarship limit of 85.
“He’s had some issues relative to the stress of the game and academics and managing all that’s going on,” Kelly said. “I can’t get into the specifics of it. He’s staying in school. He’s going to get his degree. He’s excited about his future in terms of academics here at Notre Dame, and that’s a good thing.”
