Re: The 2023 WGA / SAG-AFTRA strike and other Labor Discussion
Hope it works out for you. Been a while already. Newton is an interesting choice for a strike. some years ago the best largest school systems. a big city wealthy suburb. I cant think of any wealthier suburb that has a larger school population. Is proposition 2 1/2 still a thing? yes, and Newton vot...

School committee just canceled February Vacation; probably over half of Newton families have already committed to vacations or other programs (I'm also supposed to be in Florida that week too), so things are going great. If everyone is on vacation th...

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Oh, I'm all in on the Romo hate. He was helped by following Phil Simms. Aikman has the same problem that Simms had in that they haven't played in 30 years so their understanding of the game isn't what Romo's was when he first started (Simms is also a buffoon where I think Aikman is more of a cranky ...

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
I just read a story on yahoo that Tom Brady has been promised the analyst spot on Fox’s number one team for football broadcasts next season. ($375 million for 10 years.) But, we have no indication if he is any good (or bad) at his new job.… Yeah, that seems to be a pretty big risk, especially since...

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Lions have so much talent. SF being more experienced may have helped, along with some luck, especially on the 50 yard completion (although do they pick up the flag if the catch isn't made?) Niners are a strange team; so many big names but they looked bad for pretty big portions of both playoff games...

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Disagree on the gambles. I think if there’s a talent disparity like this and you they’re in the road, I feel like they should take more chances. They just didn’t work out. I disagree with this. For one the talent is pretty even (other than McCaffery who is unreal), but I hate when teams chase point...

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Suggs entrance really motivated the defense (It paid off!, according to Jim Nantz). Now they need Trent Dilfer to get the crowd going to wake up the offense.
