Depends on the person. I had two gf's before meeting my 1st wife (when I was 21) - both when I was in my teens. Neither lasted long.

After she passed, I dated a girl for about a year, then had a penpal/e-date relationship for a few months before I met the woman who is now my wife.

I'll defend marriage because I believe it to be something to fight for. Whether my marriage personally or the very institution itself.

Perhaps you should shy away from the jokes. Gutsy admonition suits you better.

this video is ridiculous for so many reasons.

very classy of the flyers fans to give mario a rousing send off for the 2nd time for not the last time. or something like that.

"puck down. game over. series over. mario lemieux's career...is over." stuff from jj.
- hammarby31

I was at that game and as much as mario was the "enemy", it was great to see the fans act like that.

both florida and the devils aren't good teams so it's a joke to see that at least one is going to make it to the 2nd round when the flyers or penguins will get knocked out
- 2Real

If you're going to make the argument against giving florida the third seed because they won the division I'm with you. But seriously they were good enough to get in whether they get to the second round is irrelevant. Are they going to win it all? Obviously not so what does it matter? The cup winner this year has a hard road ahead of them regardless who they got in the first round.

Skippy, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you.

Thanks, EF.

So what were the numbers on Grossmann's contract?

3.5 x 4

Yea I'm a real hit or miss in the humor department
In all seriousness I think I've shared in here my serious outlook on the matter. FWIW going on 10 years and 4 kids, doing something right and obviously have a 180 in opinion from my ill appreciated attempt at humor

Last time they started 1-3 was 2009. They went to the World Series that year. Relax.

24 years for me come August. I've come this far, no reason to quit now.

and what was the outcome?

Saints appeals are denied. Wow, that was some pretty heavy penalties handed out there by Goodell. He has been pretty consistent though.

3.5 x 4

And what does everyone think of this? 3.5 is a good price, but is anyone concerned about his knees?

You don't know?!? Maybe if they started off 2-2 they would have won the World Series.

Orpik and Vitale are.

Gotta feeling this is more widespread than just the saints and he felt the need to lay the hammer down and set an example.

Better than the following two years (and 28 other teams). If they get that far this season, I'll be impressed.

Why follow and complain then? It's like you're getting exactly what you expect and aren't happy with it.

Let them learn how to play small ball correctly, then when Chase and Howard come back, as long as they are .500, they will be all the better. Imagine actually not depending on home-runs to win games... Or having people on base with Howard up... or the bottom of your order producing...

If you're talking about Grossmann all I have to ask is why should we be? He had an injury to one and had an opposing player initiatate knee on knee contact which resulted in him missing only two weeks.

So you're all plind now. Great. Don't bother to follow sports because your team is unlikely to win a championship this year. (Or, statistically speaking, any year.)
