I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad
He said, son now here's some little something
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all
I don't feel so bad at all
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by
But none of them seem to be goin' my way
New york city
Well, I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia

Hey, kid, rock and roll
Rock on, ooh my soul
Hey, kids, you boogey, too, did ya?
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey, did you rock and roll, rock on
So you children of the world
Listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
Spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave
Or you children of today are children of the grave, yeah
January came. for April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown.
By Christmas we were through
I'm no expert here and that act from 1961 may be a thing of the past, but I don't think the late season and playoff Saturdays overlap with college or high school.
Thanks to an Off The Wall thread on Buck Henry's recent passing, I plan on watching Heaven Can Wait with the fam .
Hope it stands the test of time, haven't seen it in decades. Includes a Rams storyline when they were in L.A.. Oh yeah, their back. Anyone remember Lawrence McCutcheon?
I could care less about the NHL All Star game or the Pro Bowl, but either or both could easily supplant Heaven Can Wait if the boys say so.
Completely disagree on cold baseball. Head socks and baseball are just wrong. Baseball is a warm weather sport.
Nobody is suggesting that HS football be delayed, not sure where that came from.
The tailgating point is fair for the season ticket holders. But like I said, my preference is selfish.
LOL, I was just gonna comment that time, cost and expertise are all factors.
If we all had the time, the expertise would come and the cost would be less.
We had a huge crabgrass problem a few years ago. So we hired a guy just for the chemicals and he took care of matters.
After paying him for two years and looking at a beautiful lawn, someone in my life decided we would be better off saving the money on the guy and taking matters back into our own hands. Last year it was brown patch and a minor grub infestation, this year it was a major grub infestation. The raccoons/skunks or whatever tore up my lawn feasting on the little fockers.
It was nice when we could just call the guy.
Interesting that you equate back to school with football. I don't, but I never played so that's an angle I never considered.
For purely selfish reasons I'd prefer that baseball and football didn't overlap as much. Football starts too early and baseball runs too late. An October-February football season in conjunction with baseball winding up before October would be ideal for me. Neither will happen, but I'll keep beating that drum anyway.
Have you ever heard of the "Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961"?
I hadn't until a few days ago and I can't say I full understand it, but supposedly it resulted not only in the local TV blackouts when the stadium isn't sold out but also effectively blacked out Friday nights and Saturdays during high school and college football seasons:

Start the season a few weeks later and play the Super Bowl the Sunday before Presidents day.
Football is a cold weather sport IMO, so less hot weather games in September and more snow games as an added bonus.
It's nice to see a positive outlook on the hire. There's a lot of concern that Rojas will just be Brody's puppet. And we'll have to wait and see if he can handle the media, let alone whether he's a good in-game manager. As for pedigree, are you aware that he's the cousin of Mel Rojas?
I'm in wait and see mode, I don't enough about this guy to form a judgement yet.
I think he'll get in but he wouldn't have my vote. Just too many mediocre performances over the course of his career.
The two SB MVPs and the fact that they were against the Pats make it a great argument. I think he's a borderline HOFer, but I'm south of that border.
One comp which I'm not sure has been mentioned (search came up empty) is Plunkett. Both have 2 SBs, Manning has a 2-1 edge in SB MVP's and they both had .500 records. Eli's passing yards dwarf Plunkett's and Eli's iron man streak was amazing, but there is a precedent for a QB with two SB's to not get in.
