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.

Agree completely. Especially egregious last night by gregmorrissey
First, deferring opens up the possibility of a 14 point run if a team can score going into the half and then again coming out of the half. From a momentum standpoint than is incredibly valuable.
Second, it was obvious last night that our nerves were fried coming out of the tunnel. Let the defense take the field first and play with high energy flying around. Something good may happen which loosens up the offense when they come out. The worst thing that can happen is that they slice through the defense and score quickly. Well, that fucking happened, and we'd screwed our offensive nerves even more in the process.
