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.

Indy 500 Weekend. Carb Day (on Friday) is much better than it used to be. Most of the cars are fine tuning for dozens of laps and it gets me pumped up for the race. Try to hit the museum. It is not spectacular, but pretty neat because of the history and advancements in technology through the decades. Witnessing the insanely fast sense of speed down the straightaways and through the corners is spectacular. Open wheel cars at that speed passing and side by side is crazy cool. Best sporting event in sports.
