But if they don\u2019t, then let it burn.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good object lesson for those who take normal Americans for granted.\u00a0 I wonder what an NFL linesman does when there isn\u2019t any football to play.\u00a0 Move furniture?\u00a0 That must pay $4,000,000 a year, right?<\/p>\n
Haven\u2019t watched a minute all year and couldn\u2019t be happier.\u00a0 Baseball was good.\u00a0 I\u2019ll spend the winter learning a new skill.\u00a0 And improving my website.\u00a0 I think I\u2019ll increase my donation to the Wounded Warriors.\u00a0 They are the real heroes not those steroid laced clowns in the football jerseys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
