I am a big proponent of sportsmanship. I teach it to my kids, I demand it on the teams I coach and I do my best to live it out in my life. With my role as a coach, pretty much everything I do has a purpose behind it that I have thought through at some level. Through a discussion in a basketball...

Jerk move as a coach or fair game? 5th grade basketball. We played a team today that has the best player in the league. He is a very good ball player and it is all by skill set level domination as his athleticism is only above average. The team had another player that was above average player...

I have to share this... I can't stop laughing about it. One of the Moms at my kids swim club is single. Nice lady, we talk often as we both attend a lot of their practices and she hangs out with me usually at meets. Yesterday she tells me about a guy she is dating but prefaces it with "I...

I am kind of shocked there isn't a thread about youth football for all the other things discussed in FBG's. So... I am starting one. Talk your kid, someone else's kid, local school, coaching, or whatever else for High School on down. Tackle or Flag.

You have homework in this thread! Your assignment is to go to Zillow (I feel dirty asking people to go to that site but I will soldier on). Enter in your home address. Look at the rental comp. Now compare that to your PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance... also HOA if you have...

If you watch the NFL Network at all right now, then you will see a commercial for 360. The big upcoming episode is about the women. One if about flag football and they say that the girls/women are on the "forefront of a national movement". My question is this... is it really a national...

Yes, I know there are tons of cancer threads. I hope you guys will indulge me of one more as my wife is very private and I am the opposite. So, I can't verbally throw up on other people but feel like I need an outlet. She would not be happy if she knew about this thread but it is somewhat...

Here is the situation... We scheduled a vacation with good friends of ours. Our daughters are close friends and our sons enjoy each other. The plan was leaving Friday for Branson, MO and we would spend the week there.  My mother in law just sprung a proposition on us... she has a sister in...

There are a few youth sports threads but I didn't want to muddy their waters and didn't see one focused on this.  I am getting more and more into the sports things with my kids and it is more and more becoming a major time consumer for me. Things have changed a lot in regards to sports from...

I have a simple question for straight liberal men. If you met a transwoman and you were single... assuming you liked her... would you date her? Let's say you go out and meet someone spending the whole night with them. Great conversation, there is a real connection, you are attracted to her...
