They also continue to try and speed up the game....lunacy...it is fun...make it last longer...work..cut it short...where do these guys come from......



I have to disagree with you on this one. You might be right in terms of being at a game, but as fas as watching is concerned, I want the games as short as possible. To me, there is nothing more annoying than a network showing games back-to-back with the first game running long so you miss the beginning of the second one. If I cannot watch a game from the beginning, I rather not see it at all. Me skipping the Cal-Oregon football game is a great example of that.

College football should have kept the rules from last year, but too many whining coaches forced the NCAA to change it back to the way it was.

My thought is I want to see as many games in a day as possible and making the games shorter make it easier to do that.

I don't mind long baseball games when I'm at the ballpark, on TV though, not so much. I don't think football games are too long, I didn't like last years rules.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

I was reading things his children had said.....they are trying to keep up the image..and think it may have been genetic.

I am hiding these right here.

I need to go shopping for clothes I can shop in.

How can I find it if it is lost.

The similarities between my father and myself are different.

This is very poorly unorganized

Maybe my mom is related to Yogi Berri. One of the things she says all the time is that something has good advantages and bad advantages.
