Re: Finally! Gloves...

...My recommendation would be no gloves at all unless game time temperature is under 50 degrees. Bah! Under 50 is not glove-needing weather - under 30, maybe but not really. They can wear those pouch-type jerseys and have hand-warmers sewn in. If it is really cold, let them wear those woolen gloves...

NFL 2016 Proposed Playing Rules Changes
Mostly nonsense... too bad no one addresses the gloves. Already, they are ridiculous.
If they are cold, let them wear mittens.

Warrick Dunn: One of the Good Guys

We read so much about the dirt-bags that grab the NFL headlines. It's nice to read about some of the good guys. “The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.” ~ William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar : Act 3, Scene 2 Willie can be wrong once in a while. Warrick Dunn ...

...Highly subjective, and a librarian certainly doesn't corner the market on personal insight. There's a Starbucks barista in Des Moines that might blow us all away... Glad you mentioned Des Moines.

Re: Good article about Rams' return to Coliseum

As a child we sang "Up With People" in music class while our music teacher banged it out on piano. I can still sing that song without missing a lyric. Sometimes today, when triggered by a smell or a word or a single note, it just comes out. Doesn't matter where I'm at. Get 'em young, the ...
