    One year to the next Boston marathon....give me some tips please

    I would definitely join a team like you said, either with clients team or a charity. That way you can run with when training before the race (when it gets closer). I would also sign up for some 5k's or 5mile runs to get used to running in a 'race' atmosphere. There are a ton of sites that give a...

    NFL exploring eliminating extra point or make it a 43-yard attempt

      That would actually be pretty awesome.......as for the proposed rule change- I'm old fashioned and think it should just stay. I know during the games I've probably said countless times that it's pointless but what the heck are kickers going to do now..they're hardly on the field as it is.

    Protective caps for pitchers approved

      We wear fielders masks/pitchers hemlets in my slow pitch league as well...we've had some close calls as well as a few hit (luckily nothing too serious) but decided it's in our best interest to get something to protect us without interfering with our play.

    Replay to Expand in 2014

Doesn't make any sense in terms of helping the game.   On the other hand, expanding replay for base calls actually can help but not sure how...

    If this is under petition to be a national holiday then the day after the super bowl needs to be right there in the petition as well.

    Head Coach v. Assistant Coach (Youth Basketball)

    I think being the assistant, you should definitely try to lend a helping hand as much as possible and only chime in during half time when HC asks you to. Having too many people speaking and throwing different ideas in the short amount of half time never seems to work anyway...just winds up...

    A Boston Bid for Olympic Games 2024

    This would definitely be awesome, but it could also really harm the Boston area. It's fun while it's happening but the years of construction will suck and after the games there are going to be so many building that are rarely ever used again. They usually make the town/state go bankrupt as well...
