There's a New 750-Mile Bicycle Route in New York. Take a Look.

Couldn't find the bicycle thread.

The hatchling seemed to enjoy his first taste of beans a lot more than his first taste of avocado, apple banana, or thimbleberry.

Well, we are closing in on NFL tourney time. And, it looks like several marquis players are going on the disabled list.
I have given some of my very best thoughts to addressing injury matters about this, specific to the starting quarterbacks.

Would it not enhance the fairness in lost QB situatons to have their opponents to only be able to play their 2nd and 3rd string signal callers for the rest of the their schedule, or at least until the injured starter gets off of the disabled list? It sure would make things need a good bit more consideration!

I don't think that the NFL has ever been interested in fairness.

Fairness, maybe no, but Ratings (viewer #'s), definitely yes!

So LOWERING the quality of play will INCREASE interest? 

Why stop at Quarterbacks?

Yes, I've not found many delicacies that a library staff won't clean up if you put it in their breakroom.

Shouldn't a well-run team take good care of their best players? And have a strong, well-trained bench so that up-and-comers are ready to step in when necessary?

Why is this starting to remind me of Harrison Bergeron, the story by Kurt Vonnegut?

l think my logic is better than your logic. It would make for more watchable, interesting contests.Run it up the blackboard and see if anybody salutes. Perhaps the Canadian Football League would be willing to try it out?
