Oh, by the way...
YO!
Rugby players eat their own dead. :)
Reminds me of a t-shirt I saw when back in Michigan visiting my family: "Detroit -- where the weak are killed and eaten". ;o)
Oh, by the way what?

My kids didn't like it either. I played on a league when I was in my 20's though. Every one is different, I guess. Football bores me but I enjoy a day at the ball park. But then, I guess I'm just different caz I like wrestling too. lol
What team do you follow?
Ya snooze, ya lose. :)

LOL!
This reminds me of an old English saying regarding the two sports ...
Rugby: A ruffian sport played by gentlemen.
Soccer: A gentlement sport played by ruffians.

No thanks! ;o)
Hockey was not big in Wisconsin when I was growing up, and there still isn't an NHL team here. Youth hockey is much bigger than it used to be (one of my nephews plays), but since I didn't grow up on it, I never developed an interest.
The team mascot: Fang. My son loves him! :o)
• Jesus believed that he was the messiah.
• There were two types of messianic "candidates" in 1st century Judaism. One type sought to free Judea from Roman rule and to restore the earthly kingdom of David (bar Kokhba, for example). The other sought a "new heaven and new earth" -- the kingdom of God -- that would be brought about by God's intervention rather than by force of arms. Jesus was of the second type.
• Jesus's disciples believed in his resurrection and imminent return.
• The early Nazarene community contained both pacifists (who thought that all they had to do was to await the imminent return of Jesus) and the activists (who thought that they needed to continue the struggle against Rome).
• As long as the Nazarenes believed in Jesus as a human messiah, they were not believing anything that was outside the bounds of Pharisaic Judaism. Even a belief in Jesus's resurrection and return would not have divided them from non-Nazarene Judaism.
• The Nazarenes and the Pharisees actually got along well. The Nazarenes did have problems with the temple Sadducees and the high priest.
• Some of the players: pacifist and activist Nazarenes. Pacifist and activist Pharisees. The Essenes, who were an opposition group of Sadducees. The Herodians, who were of a mixed Jewish and Edomite background, and who collaborated with the Romans. And the temple Sadducees and the high priest, who were also Roman collaborators.
• The gospels were written after Paul's epistles.
• Galatians is the most important book in the Christian canon.
For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's gospel.
For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:11-12)
Do tell.
Oh, just the usual heavy-handed threats and actions against the formation of a union, from the progressives who preach "social justice."
It would also appear that Mahony runs the Catholic cemeteries not so much as a service for the area's Catholics, but as a money-making venture.

Yes, thank you. You have phrased my exact thought so much better than I could have.
SD
You forgot the two most important things: the esoteric rules about the blue and red lines and the ever-present possibility of a fight.
