Weekend observations

If global warming means 78 & sunny Saturday afternoons this late in October, then let's start burning up that ozone layer even more. I could get used to watching Ohio State destroy Iowa on the patio while trying to drink the garage fridge clean.

Now, if only we could get a little rain to knock down the dust. It would be much appreciated.

Halloween week!

A warm welcome from MAC country here in Kalamazoo MI.

If you’re looking to check off a stadium with Dad don’t miss Toledo vs. Western Michigan at Waldo Stadium the day after Thanksgiving this year. Nickel Tours of town are available if you want to come watch the Rockets run up the score on the Broncos “Defense”.

I came here a few years back for more of the Outkick show I heard on Clay’s previous a.m. radio show and have absolutely stayed for Screencaps. Best collection of laughs and WTF’s I can find to start my day with.

Our neighborhood south of Kalamazoo is very near an elementary school, consequently, many families with young children are in our area. Holidays are celebrated with a fair amount of Gusto here. Enjoy the pics! Looking forward to passing out candy where it’s always either 38 and raining, or Sunny & almost 70 deg … nothing in between

What's the best playoff format?

I hope you are doing well. I was just curious what playoff format in sports do you think is the best? I.E.-single elimination-"one and done", "best of" series, round robin, etc.? Personally, I'd go with the "best of" series. Those are nearly fluke-proof for upsets, and a team really earns it if they can beat another squad in 3-4 times to advance in the postseason. Thanks again.

Baseball finally got its collective heads out of its asses and got this playoff right. Let's go back to that Wild Card Weekend format. Remember when they'd play a single-game series and that was the end of the Wild Card round? Now these dummies figured it out -- let's see if they stick with it -- where they have Wild Card Weekend. Visiting fans are guaranteed a Friday & Saturday game, pending weather.

It's great. It's a simple guys' trip scenario.

As for football, the playoffs are fine as is. If you can't beat the Bengals at home with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, then that's a you problem.

Boomer-Millennial Drama Week 2

• Jackson in Georgia writes:

So what I will never get is why the Millennials endlessly moan about how tough they have it, but continue to do things that make it harder on themselves.

First, more government in their lives. Is there anything that any of us can say has improved because of more government? No. Seriously, no.

Secondly, all the climate change stuff just makes your and everyone else’s lives harder and, without buy in from China and India, will never amount to anything. But…..good luck with that argument.

Finally, though I could go on and on, it seems as if millennials want to spread the wealth endlessly. Ok, great. But then don’t go complaining about the older folks who currently have the wealth and would eventually like to pass it on. I am pretty sure “your” parents would rather “you” have their sayings than someone none of you have ever met.

None of this makes any sense and there are many other examples, but “they” refuse to listen to those with experience in life.
