The Dolphins game was hard to watch. The first half was euphoria. The second half was PUTRID. Tough game. I'm still hopeful, though.

Funny guys. Be nice! Congrats to the Phillies and their fans. It should be a great series and a nerve wracking experience for both fan bases. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for sharing yourselves with the community. It's great to get to know everyone just a bit better.

Belated birthday wishes to you, Bob, and Brian's son.

I'm definitely happy and looking forward to the series starting tonight. 7 games decide a season. Anything can happen. Congrats to the Phillies and their fans and good luck. The starter discussion is an interesting one. I marvel at the stats of Catfish Hunter, Nolan Ryan, etc. and the innings totals they would amass. Regarding Mo and more than one inning. I think overall Girardi tried to protect him from that during the regular season, as he should have. But, for the playoffs, all bets are off. Since becoming the closer, he's pitched in 24 postseason series and he's pitched more than an inning per appearance (on average) in 21 of them (and the other 3 were all ALDS' where the team got eliminated).

We have some pretty long threads. This is a great one, though! Patrick

The problem is just as much perception as it is reality. If a student and teacher are dating, it doesn't matter if the teacher is being fair. Some will still feel there is bias, no matter what. I'm not saying it's fair, but it's life. That doesn't mean, of course, that you have to cater to those people, either. But, it can be bad for the school and can also be bad for business, if you're a for-profit school. Patrick

What do you mean, Bob? Sounds like an interesting program, congrats Shawn. Thanks, Patrick

I love the replies to this thread. Helpful and encouraging. We have a great community of people! Patrick

Finally, the Dolphins got a win. Of course, I was away. lol. But, good to get that monkey off our back.

That's great.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
