Might be tough to find another team. What starts out as a perceived lack of commitment to fitness turns into a reputation for laziness. Did they give you specifics such as they see you fading late in games or losing too many battles for the puck? Is it your diet that they see as a problem and you're carrying around a couple more pounds of fat than they'd like? I'd say that you are better off trying to prove that you can be committed and belong.

Cue Glenn Close. "I'm not going to be ignored."

Right or wrong, that is what you get when the career politicians simply refuse to get anything done and believe they are simply entitled to their seat.

Once the whistle goes, that's it. Sucks for the Dolphins but them's the breaks.

Actually, we aren't. There are plenty of kids around these parts.

Not sure if this is the thread to equate anything to a death in the family, especially jokingly, as some folks have had vents about just such occurrences.

You shouldn't be making out with your teammate.

NHL season underway.

Dads tagging the babysitter is an age old tradition.

Just wait until you see how ugly it looks when the claw starts growing back in.

Be ready with the standard first line from every player who moves from defense to forward, "Man, you get a lot more tired playing forward."

I've always believed that a number of skating drills should be done with pucks so players can get used to handling pucks at full speed.

Which is why they'd have a maximum allowable COR. That would ensure that the ball can come off of the bat no hotter than it would a normal wood bat. If you're worried about bat speed then make a minimum weight requirement, as well.

Gloves are a gateway gear.

Sometimes I think some bands are so busy trying to be musicians that they forget they are performers. Dream Theater runs hot and cold with me. Some stuff I like and other stuff I'm just not getting it.

I don't know, if you need that much help to put the song together then you probably can't play it live with the bodies/talent you've got, anyway. As much as I didn't like the garage quality of the production, I did like the idea when Metallica recorded by just dumping the 4 guys in the studio and they just had at it. At least you know that what you got on the record is what you'll get on the stage.

That is where a captain or other leader on the team needs to toss in a couple of words after the coach has had his due. It will mean more coming from them, anyway.

If you're only 1 semester away then you can probably finish up your degree over the next couple of summers.

Remembering back to my college days, we set up our schedule late in the semester for the next one. Saved a lot of problems with last second add/drops.

Don't be so anxious to be done. Enjoy your time there because, if you're going away to college, you'll never experience anything like it again.

If you're that nervous out there then taking a break is a good idea. We've all heard the old adage, "the easiest way to get hurt is to try not to get hurt." Stay away for a month or two then go to a local kids game, remember why you played in the first place, and jump back in.

Mrs. hooked me up with a new Burner Superfast 3 wood for the birthday.

Just remember, it is easier to continue a conditioning program than it is to start one.

That's a horrible combination. Do what you can to get this friend some help, I'm sure a good google search will help give you some ideas on how to approach the situation.
