    You don't think $20,000 is enough to support a family?

    Who are you, Latrell Sprewell?

    What a moran!

    That job used to pay in the $15-20,000 range. They're moving up!

    You can survive on $20,000-$25,000 there, though you certainly won't be living comfortably.

    And a paper around that area suspended reporters' use of player quotes in stories because they "didn't want to make the players and/or schools look poorly."

    I'd have walked away right then. So much of the color in a gamer -- no matter the level -- is held in the minds of those playing it. The emotion, the actions, the success, the failures, etc. The coach can't possibly tell you everything you need to know.

    Um...the blue font wasn't on your text yesterday tough guy, so it looked like you were serious. I love it when people have to call others names online, it helps reassert what tough guy's they really are.

    It shouldn't have to take blue font to know when someone is joking on a post like that. Tough guy.

    That was me, Hank.

    I'm not sure if the paper's stance has changed. Anyway, if folks would like to know more, drop a PM.

    (And, oh, Groundhog Day is overrated as hell. You can't even drink up on the Knob. ::))

    Again, you show you're wrong.

    You can tell if he had modified his post. There would be a line at the bottom that says modified by xxxxx with the time and date.

    He didn't.
