Excellent piece...should be a letter to the editor in papers across the country.

Outstanding, this belongs in the paper or on the news instead of the peta drivel being dished out.

This is the best piece I have read anywhere. In four paragraphs you have captured our feelings and put a mirror to our souls. Outstanding!!

i hate to be one to pile on, and be redundant, but that was fantastic. you should be a regular columnist somewhere in the industry. every point was spot on and very concisely summed up a frustrating weekend. great job.

Andy

Thank you for putting it into words. I have for days been trying to write my thoughts on the last few days and you said it a lot better than I could ever hope to.
Thanks
Joe

The best day of the year in this sport shouldn't make me this nauseous. I agree with everything Andy said but I wish I shared his optimism.
