People act like having a lot of kids is a drain on society. People with means, support, and education having lots of kids is a benefit to society. More educated taxpayers isn’t a bad thing. Europe is starting to deal with a crisis because of this issue. The tax base is eroding because their tax payers aren’t replacing themselves. From what I understand this is a good couple. He’s a teacher and coach at a good private school in OKC. I’m sure they do fine, or did until the cancer thing.

Awkward.

ha. yes it was, standing there waiting for someone to unhook you from a person you don’t know and are standing way too close to

or even worse… your mask getting stuck on another players mask.

Managed to break two facemasks in my playing days, but never a cranium-buster.

masks bend/break all the time. i’ve seen some crazy cracks in shells, but NEVER have i ever seen anything remotely similar to this.

“Broken facemasks happen here and there, but can honestly say we don’t remember seeing an entire piece of a helmet break off because of a hit.”

They implied that the family of eight thing would have been enough when they said “not only”.

I’d still say he is, cancer or no cancer

boys basketball

A pet peeve of mine. What do you all think?

If it’s men’s basketball and women’s basketball, it should be boys’ basketball and girls’ basketball. Why possessive in one application and not possessive in a similar application?

If you go with boys and girls bball, then it should be men bball and women bball.

No. For leaving out the wife having cancer part? Yes

They implied that the family of eight thing would have been enough when they said “not only”. The cancer thing obviously sucks and I’m happy he won the money for that reason.
