April 9th can’t come fast enough!

Pheidippides wasn’t planning on running a marathon; that’s why he died.  If he had known ahead of time that he’d be running 26 miles and followed a good training program for a year, stretched properly before the event, had bands and cheering people along the race route,…

The marathon is certainly a tough distance, but I imagine that it compares to childbirth. In any event, having completed the former, I will agree that it is an excruciating tastk. Should the opportunity arise, I will let you know how the latter compares.

Surprised you think it will take two wins. I think we have a shot to get in with another loss.  The bubble is just a disaster this year, and we’ll float to the top even with one win.

May I borrow your Grey Poupon?   I suppose I could write my news column one day, and my opinion column the next—as with Tatelines or Tupperlines.   But I don’t write a news column, so it seems like a lot of extra work.

Actually, I think you have been ‘harangued’ by writing your opinions and judgements and considering them as ‘news’  asopposed to editorials.  Taking a side on any issue dismisses journalism.  It’s then an editorial. This is an arrogant writing.

Nothing is as humbling as running distances. I was a Div.I athlete, and NOTHING compares to the physical & mental test running has proven to be for me…..and I love it!

Tony C… Marathons are meant to be the most painfully excruciating character building exercise you can do besides childbirth, I would imagine.  After all Pheidippides died after his.  But at least he did one.

Rob, don’t ever change.  I lean “merryman,“ but still can’t wait to read your take after every game and that hasn’t changed one bit in recent weeks.
