And, I still dont have a good handle on it. Ball park is prob sometime next week, but we'll see. Larry was on the shows today and it didn’t sound like he thought it was close.

mappy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 The problem of course is people can’t help themselves and need to jump in the fray and it spirals from there. And it’s always Phin involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 this thread is full of politics.Yep, that’s what I’m saying! Think we agree on what this thread is. I agree with Mappy though that we need this place as a nice spillover pond. Probably a more elegant analogy out there, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you’re always framing this as an us vs. them culture war and some of us don’t like to play those games. IMO that framing that gets applied to everything is one is the most destructive things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather it be in a thread that people can avoid if they don’t feel like reading heated debates What we really need to do is covertly create a "winter medium range" thread. That way, all useless banter and sniping will magically transfer over there! Just like it did this past season!
