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.

Repaired my meniscus. There was a little complication as part was folded but he caught that unexpected issue during surgery. Good friend Charmelle Green picked me up at SB airport and took me to see Brian who reviewed my sonogram and explained the procedure that he would perform the next morning. Charmelle took me home, fed me and put me up for the night. When I was being wheeled into the operating room, Brian was leaning on a railing with his surgery prep all white outfit except for the colorful Notre Dame dew rag on his head. Got a good laugh there. After surgery, Brian said I could start (for the football team) in six weeks! Then Charmelle took me to the airport to fly home.
