    OT: Trevor Bauer

    I'm not ready to anoint Bauer as a good guy nor am I ready to condemn him as a bad guy. Clearly, Lindsey Hill had her own demons, chief among them alcoholism. Maybe she dropped the suit because it all became too much for her mentally and emotionally, IDK. Notably, the judge presiding over...

    OT: Tim McCarver RIP

    Was it Gibson or Carlton who would send McCarver from the mound back behind the plate with the statement "the only thing you know about pitching is that it's hard to hit"? Always like Tim in the Mets' booth. Good mix of imparting knowledge and humor.

    Football APPROVED -- 1.4 Mill per year / Three Year deal for Kirk Ciarrocca

    OT: Term Life Insurance

    One should consider term life to replace the loss not only of a partner's wages/salary, but also anticipated social security income. While the surviving spouse gets the higher of the two SS benefits, the loss of one can be a significant hit.

    OT: Random Thoughts Thread.

    Haha! I just attended a Seeing Eye puppy raiser class and actually have the answer for you! The blind owner takes the dog outside and has the dog circle around him/her until the dog stops to "assume the position". If the owner feels that the dog's back is straight, no clean-up needed, but if...
