i cut my teeth on the old Eastern Hockey League. One of the original goon leagues. But that was eons ago. i still find it more fun to spend a little time at a minor league game than to try to navigate the NHL's, NBA's and the NFL's of the world. I admit to being a dinosaur

My thinking was along the lines of getting fans into the sets. Minor league hockey seems to thrive in smaller markets where there isn't that much competition. Much like minor league baseball. We're probably talking apples to kumquats. No one is watching any college football outside of the major conferences on TV either.

Minor league hockey still has some appeal so maybe there is a glimmer of hope. Of course you don't need the number of bodies for hockey as you do football.

I'm old enough to remember the Continental Football League and the Atlantic Coast Football League (ACFL) back in the mid to late 60s. True minor league ball. A few clubs had agreements with the NFL at the time. You would possibly have a couple clubs putting a few players on the team. 32 man rosters with something like a 5 player reserve squad. There is too much competition for sport entertainment dollars to make an enterprise successful now. The NFL owns Sundays, Monday, Thursday nights, Colleges control Saturdays. Not to mention what you can watch on TV now

Well now.....

We can't let our children read controversial books. But throw a party and get a bunch of 17 year olds drunk? Why not...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. What part of the First Amendment do these theocrats do not understand? Definitely a treasonable offense

Posting this for the graphic insert. From the Virginia fourth and seventh grade social studies book (I think both grades used the same book). I was there in 1964-65 (7th grade, one of two Yankees in the class)

Maine weighs in..

A lot of folks still can't handle the truth from nearly 250 years ago.

She could have at least mentioned that she removed the Confederate Flags from her state Capitol while governor.

His mother loved him better. The suits at CBS didn't

Let's not bury the lead. The subject of slavery was out there since the founding of the Republic. It's one of the main reasons why parts of the Constitution are wound up tighter than pretzels. The need to placate the smaller southern states like South Carolina and Georgia who depended on "free" labor. The words of Confederate VP Alexander Stephens could not be more clear ahead of starting the Civil War: “Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; it’s foundations are laid, it’s cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first , in its history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.” Folks like Nikki just want to rewrite history.

For the third or possibly the fifth time, the Colorado suit was brought by a group of Republicans or otherwise unaffiliated voters trying to keep the former president off the state's primary ballot. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GENERAL ELECTION ONLY THE PRIMARY? It seems that the QOP has decided to place the blame on Democrats basically because they refuse to take any responsibility. And everything wrong with country is Joe Biden, Pamala Harris, Barrak OBama and The Clinton's fault

A significant portion of the Republican Party - We certainly hope the Democrats can stop Trump because we don't have the balls to do so. And we'll be damn if we're voting for Biden and Harris. We'll also complain because they're saying out loud what we're thinking because we're scared of him and his posse

They need to target Joshua Karty (Stanford) in the draft

Had a son that may have misplaced a laptop and allegedly traded on the family name. Not at all like making a $2 Billion plus deal with the Saudi's based on Daddy in laws temporary job.

Missed an anniversary this past week Borrowed and rewritten from another site Instead of reading speeches of a failed dictator maybe the former President should have concentrated on the successful Father of his country

I blame Taylor Swift. The team hasn't been they same since the signed her. She needs to stick to music

The Ravens became a franchise in 1996. The reactivated Cleveland Browns came to be in 1999.

Using your theory let's save time and only hold elections in swing states. I propose elections only in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Georgia can be the tie breaker if needed. The other 45 states be damned because we probably already the outcome

Happy Holidays
