Fitz wears his wedding ring, and apparently he went to some school called Harvard.

The Kings Highway stretch from Ridge Rd to Lake Shore was a pretty fun drive. When you said submarine races, I assumed you meant watching turds and medical waste floating in the water at Durand Beach.

Christie Q: Which former 'Bama linebacker punched my brother in the face at a Chippewa Street bar?

Black bears are like alley cats here.

Was that college or high school?

Should I be excited about this? Is he a top 4 defenseman right away? Can he carry the puck up he ice fer chrissakes?

I love it! I'd like to make you an offer you can't resist...

You two want some alone time?

Can he play safety too?

I agree completely with both paragraphs. You're a daisy.

Marrone...questionable class. Levy...total class. McCoach? I couldn't care less as long as he wins games. I want him to be a mean, ruthless SOB.

I don't have much of a choice. Most of my players are kids who just pick up a stick for the first time in 9th grade. Tough kids who like to hit...mostly football players and wrestlers, although lately, I've been recruiting from the soccer and basketball programs. We finally were able to field a 7th/8th grade team this year. Most of the programs around me have youth feeder programs. Kids start at 4 or 5 with skills development, and are playing organized, competitive lacrosse by 3rd grade. I am teaching these kids how to play the game (even during the games) rather than sitting back and "coaching." I need to find a new gig.

They're synonyms to me. I teach. I coach. Same thing, IMO.

I preach about class a lot to my team. I coach varsity lacrosse at a small, rural high school. I agree that children are wired differently today, but I also agree that this is the fault of their parents. I teach my kids to avoid excessive celebrations after scoring goals or making good plays. I teach my kids to avoid trash talking with the other players (you wouldn't believe what goes on on the field). I also never allow my players to shoot on goal if we have a substantial lead with 5 minutes left in the game. My kids always refer to the officials and opposing coaches as "sir," and never talk back or are disrespectful or else their butt is warming the bench. Class and character is very important in sports, IMO. It is my hope that these skills translate to life. I played a game recently against a team with a younger coach. It was clear that he had no control over his team. He was talking trash to me on the sidelines, and his players were also being overtly disrespectful to me and the officials. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Unreal.

Dazed and Confused. No doubt.

Found a 6 pack of Brooklyn Summer tall boys yesterday. Bought 2 of them. My favorite summer beer.

Almond butter is where it's at. With apricot jelly. Yummmmmm.

I'm jealous. The most we every get is stale bagels and bad coffee for our monthly admin meetings.

....followed by a Swedish massage and a ball rub? Jeez.

Best food to take to work? I'd say a sandwich or a wrap. Not messy and just filling enough so you don't feel like taking a nap. This morning my wife made me a wrap from yesterday's grilled pork tenderloin. Some Webers mustard, romaine lettuce, and tomato. I try to stay away from onions at work too.

I love that crazy d-line coach. Waffle?

$&@% you, you %€%$&@ piece of slimy donkey &@¥#!!

I once broke a Puerto Rican dude's arm for sweatpant money.
