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.

This line is, um, interesting ... by BIGSKYND
"Food and booze definitely helps when it comes to battling the temperatures at these types of outdoor events". Having been to a number of these, including some where the air temp was in the mid-20's and even lower, you have to be suffering from a problem to think that "booze", at least in the form of beer, "definitely helps". "Food", yeah. Of course, I'm a season-ticket holder who doesn't understand why somebody comes to TD Garden and pays for parking, seats, and over-priced beer to get shit-faced midway in the 2d period when they could do the same thing at a bar with a big-screen. And no, I'm not excusing the apparent lack of planning.
