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.

understood and my bad - BK brings out the ugly by airborneirish

NDZippy - get it. No further explanation needed. I stand by the "maybe it's time to say 'fair enough' and hang it up for the next couple of days"

Are people saying BK sucks? I mean I say he sucks, but if you ask me to explain I'll say he's fine but we need something better. I think some folks are exaggerating because they hate purgatory. That doesn't mean they think he literally is a bottom quintile coach. If they do, they're incorrect and it's not worth engaging.

I've blown through my posting budget for the day so will conclude with my theory that the truth is somewhere in the middle here and everyone is having a squidish fight about details that don't really matter when they likely have interests that are heavily aligned and positions that simply rephrases of one another's.

Happy thanksgiving
