Re: More Backroom Deals Than Tammany Hall - A Youth Soccer Tale
Yeah, I was in charge of the clock and making sure my co-coach got everyone equal time. I have attention issues, so it was something I really had to stay focused on... It can get away from you REAL quick (per Syb's post.) We never had parents that would scream at us. I guess that comes from it being...

Re: Comedy...stand-up and otherwise...
That was a very weird skit, which I kind of liked.
They've been doing a lot of stuff with former cast members. Which is nice, but also feels like a bit of slap in the face to the existing cast.

Mostly sunny here in MD, but there was a bank of clouds that rolled in right as things started. Just cleared up and it's probably 10 percent into what it's going to do. I think we're right around 90 percent covered. Gonna head back out to see how things are progressing in a bit.

This is like that dress no one could agree on the color. I've watched it a dozen times from all the angles and... I guess it's a foul. I've seen those called, I've seen them not called.
Kind of like holding. You could probably call it on every play... most refs don't.
