Are Dinner Time "Phone Breaks" Good Tech Etiquette?
First of all, we've got to say we love what David Carr has done over at NYTimes.com. He's drafted his very own guide to smartphone manners. Just like a mission statement, there's no one-size-fits-all guide to propriety in touchy techy social situatons. In that spirit, we have one point of contention with his list: The idea that you should take "phone breaks" when you're out eating with company.
In his Guide to Smartphone Manners, Carr makes a sweeping rule that phones should be put away during mealtime with company. But he adds this concession:
2. Phones should remain put-away during dinner and lunch with friends, but it should also be permissible to ask for and take a mutual "phone break" if the meal goes on for longer than an hour.
I have to say I disagree. With both parts of his statement, actually.
It's becoming common courtesy in this world of 24/7 connectedness to silence your phone during a business lunch or a meeting with a new acquaintance. But it's not always necessary when you're out with familiar friends. There's no umbrella rule to say when and where you need to shelve your phone. You'll need to make that call (ha!) on your own.
And as for this "phone break"? It's not necessary. If you've already decided your company's attention is more important than the interruptions from your device, there should be no need to organize a break to get caught up with outside life. Either it's OK to look at your phone during dinner, or it's not.
And if you really desperately need a phone break, just wait until your guest heads to the loo.
What do you think? Are you in favor of a "phone break" during long dinners? Tell us in the comments!

I agree with your point about waiting for a natural break. The only time(s) I have my phone out during a meal with someone are a) expecting extremely important news (I did this once with a friend while waiting for a job offer, ignored all calls except the number of the company) and b) if we're waiting on someone else who may need directions or to find us in the restaurant. Otherwise, I try to be fully present with the people I'm actually with. With the phone on silent, I know if I'm getting a lot of calls/message that may indicate some type of emergency and can excuse myself.
i don't have long important dinners often, if ever, personal or business related. But i still get the point of a phone break. Especially if you are an important person in a company or organization and are always connected. If a dinner or meeting is running long for that entire time you have been ignoring your phone and something could be happening that needs your immediate attention.
when we go out to lunch for work my boss is always checking her phone, sometimes quite dramatically or will announce "nope no emails yet" (although not quite as obnoxious as this probably sounds, although still annoying) but at the same time, completely unnecessary. Put the phone in your pocket or nearby, put it on vibrate. done. There is no need to be checking it when nothing is happening. Or what I do is turn off all ringers and then it just blinks it's little light if something is coming in. Kind of a "bat phone" to my emails. You can leave it out on a table and it doesn't disturb others if you get a message.
I have a general rule of thumb that I totally made up but find works well- if there are plates in front of us, phones are not permitted at the table. It's kind of like that old smokers etiquette rule about not lighting up while people are eating. I feel that phones and food are just not a good combo. but during the pre dinner drinks or in between courses, then it's fine. I just find phones at the table rude, I guess.
Most of my friends are pretty good at ignoring the phone or keeping it short. However, it seems to be an unspoken rule that when someone stops to pick up a phone call, it's a cue for the rest of us to check text messages, Facebook or Twitter. More so if there's only two of us at the table.
i usually break the phone out when the other person goes to the restroom if i'm out to dinner. if i'm waiting for an important call (like, from the sitter about my kid accidentally setting the apartment on fire), then i keep the phone on the table. it gets tucked under my napkin on my lap when the plates arrive.
Phones out during a meal (unless it's an absolute emergency, but still - that's what vibrate mode is for!) is so ridiculously rude. If you can't wait the length of a meal to check twitter or facebook or your email, then you should probably just stick to virtual friends and never leave your apartment.
wow. i have officially turned into a crotchety old lady! but i stand by my opinion ;-)
I'm a firm believer in no phones at the table, if you take the time go out or stay in with someone over a long dinner then it should be your responsibility to give them your complete attention. There is nothing more important, than looking someone in the eye and conversing with them. That is how we grow bonds with one another.
Besides if it's important there is always Voice mail, and if you have to check it then excuse yourself just as you would as if you were going to the bathroom.
The only exception to this rule would be parents that receive a call from someone watching your children, then I can justify the interruption.
No phones at the table - period.
one of my best friends got a sidekick when that whole trend was happening, and she still thinks it's perfectly acceptable to completely ignore whoever she's out with in favor of continually checking facebook/twitter or tweeting or texting while we're out having a meal. i don't mean to sound like an old lady, but frankly i'm only in my 20s and it drives me insane that she does this--in fact, i generally avoid going out with her just because it makes me so mad. if your phone rings while you're out and you answer it--that's fine with me; i don't even think it's particularly bad to have your phone out at the table...but spending your entire meal toying around with your phone and ignoring your company is just rude.
Totally agree with jwilson and dbailey. Phones at the table are rude - if you aren't going to give your company your undivided attention, just stay home.
I'm with ya. No phones at dinner and in general when you are with your friends. I have to say it drives me nuts when I'm with my girlfriends for a weekend away and their heads are stooped over their blackberries half the time. I choose to disconnect so we can all talk. Face to face. Just like in olden times.
Saying that phones at the table are always rude is a sweeping generalization -- it depends on how the person is using the phone.
For example, sometimes a call or message is from someone who would like to join you or meet up with you after you eat. Ignoring a call like that is ruder than quickly confirming plans.
However, I have no patience for friends that play games or read long emails while we're out. They're like kids who can't sit still at restaurants without a video game.
I ignore my phone most of the day, if i'm doing something it's on vibrate and i just ignore it and call the person back later, if it's important they can text me. My phone ringer has become more of a nuisance than a joy since cell phones became wide spread.
Phones should not be readily available for use during meal times except in cases when--in the old days--a wait person would come to notify you of a call. E.g., you are a physician; you have young children who are being cared for by a sitter; your wife is pregnant and due any day now. Otherwise, no phones in sight.
i loathe phones at the table. it feels like everyone does it incessantly. in response i have gotten super passive aggressive about it and if they whip out a cellphone, i take mine out and twiddle around with it for a good 5 minutes after the person has finished. and ignore them completely during that 5 minutes (which doesn't sound like a long time but trust me, the other person feels it! and they usually put the phone away for the rest of the meal. ha)
I'm not a fan of the phone at the table, BUT my husband and I are self-employed in unusual businesses. Friday night we left the kid with a sitter and were ON A DATE and he took a business call . . . and landed a gig that will bring in about $3500. So, yes, I make exceptions.
I believe that you should always silence and put away your phone during a meal with anyone, regardless of how familiar you are. I think that it is incredibly rude and disrespectful to ignore your company while checking on your phone or texting/speaking on the phone. It is a sign of respect to put your company first.
I find it very sad that the question even needs to be asked. When did people become so insecure/needy/whatever that they can't focus on the folks they are with and ignore their mobile phones.
Think of it in terms of the days of land-line-only phones -- imagine going to someone's home for dinner and they put out a big old rotary phone on the the table next to their place setting. Or even worse, being a guest and insisting the host place a phone near their place. Yes, cell phone use at ANY dinner setting is equally absurd and rude -- except for an emergency, of course.
Guess I'm just a child of the 60's -- "love the one your with"!!!
oops -- should read "love the one you're with" -- good spelling is just as important as good phone manners!
I'm old enough not to have grown up with the latest technology. I just think "would I have a big old fashioned phone at the table"? Would we have sat there talking while making others wait for us? Probably not. I never ever take my phone out during a meal with someone else and find it rude when they do. It's hardly ever an emergency.
@escondido, insert cat noise here
I live in very close walking distance to many friends, and when I say or text my typical spiel ("Just sat down to eat, will call soon"), they'll frequently ask where we are and if they can come by and have a drink with us.
If I ignored all those calls, I'd miss out on including them when they're bored at home around the corner -- I'd call that rude for sure. So what you call sad, I call fun :-P
I'm just surprised by all the black-and-white viewpoints on this, that people must entirely ignore their phone or be glued to it -- no middle ground. I think using your best judgement and sometimes responding to a text is fine.
@Mid-C Frank - I love this visual!! I am definitely anti-phone at the table and find that my family members (in-laws, siblings) are the worst offenders. Perhaps next family dinner that I host, I will put a big rotary phone next to my plate on one side and my laptop on the other. If they ask questions I'll just say - well I might get a call or email from someone not at this table and I don't want to miss it because you're not important enough in my life to deserve my full attention. Perhaps that would get the point across? ha ha.
• In a crowded restaurant, even on its loudest ring, I cannot hear my phone from in my purse.
• Few of my dresses or jeans have pockets that fit a phone very well.
• I don't wear a watch; it's just one more thing to tote around when your phone is already a clock.
For those reasons, my silenced phone sits on the table when I'm out for a casual meal with friends or family. It's the same with all my girlfriends. Someone might occasionally send a quick text, but there's no long chats, Angry Birds, tweeting, or emailing. I think that's perfectly reasonable. Not a bit rude.
However, while dining in a high end restaurant, going on a date, or having a business meal, I agree that the phone should be silenced and put away.
I never put my phone on the table when eating or even just grabbing a friend. We have these wonderful things called voicemail and email that will collect those messages for us to read at our leisure later. Insisting on having the phone on the table says "someone more interesting might contact me, so I can't give you my full attention".
I love the rotary-phone-on-the-table example, but also consider that you show up for dinner and your host brings a stack of mail to the table and proceeds to open envelopes and peruse his/her cable bill while you're sitting there. Same thing as checking email.
Ha...meant to say "grabbing a drink with a friend". I also try not to grab people ;)
Tracylynn -- YES, love the snail-mail analogy!
It's really scary -- why can't people unplug (and focus) for an hour or two?
Wow, I signed up to comment because I can't believe how harsh and unforgiving most of the comments seem.
If my roommate texts "At the store. Do we need toilet paper?", she and I are going to be very happy later that night that I decided to text back "YES. Desperately!" [true story]
The amount of time that exchange takes is the equivalent of someone at the restaurant tapping you on your shoulder and saying "Excuse me, did you drop this?", and you saying "Nope, that's not mine." Would this conversation offend you? Probably not -- it's quick and serves a purpose (it's not just chit chat). I don't see why a phone's involvement would change the principle and make those kind of short exchanges unacceptably rude.
I'm also not much of a phone person, so perhaps that colors my attitude. My calls are always brief and to the point -- mostly for logistical purposes (do you need a ride, do i need to get home to take the dog out, here's where you can meet us in a half hour...)
Now I do hate it when people read long emails or play games on their phones, but I think that's entirely different. That's entertaining yourself, saying that your company is too boring to do so.
Call me a tech prude if you will, but I'm so sick and tired of friends constantly being on their iPhones even when we're just hanging out (not eating) that I've decided I don't want one EVER no matter how convenient they are.
If if distracts you from the present company and isn't an "emergency" it should be put away.
wow, this makes me feel like an old person. Most of my friends (and I) now have kids, so on the rare occasions that we go out to dinner, our kids are home with a sitter. For that reason, phones are on the table in case of an emergency call re: the kids. That being said, NO ONE I know would check twitter or messages while out with friends (people do check BB during lunch on a work day, but that is part of our jobs). I think not paying attention to the people you are with is so rude, and the idea that you need a break from the people you are with to check on the social lives of the people you are not with just seems like shockingly bad manners.
A phone call from the babysitter? Of course. A major client. OK. But you're on Facebook or Twitter? Now? During dinner? No. If you need to check Facebook while you are seated at dinner with live friends, in person, you have some sort of disorder. Terminal boredom, possibly, or maybe your brain has already begun shrinking and you're imperceptibly sliding toward dementia.

My husband and I recently had an elopement wedding at this lovely cabin. It's incredible! From the sunny game room, super cozy living room with fireplace, welcoming dining room, completely stocked kitchen (LOVE that vanilla cinnamon tea!) complete with pie plates to bake my quiches in, the three bedrooms that our MOH and BM loved, the laundry closet (though never used, but fully appreciated), the back porch with swing, front porch with fantastic grill and bountiful seating, and that outcropping! AMAZING VIEWS! We hung out up there multiple times per day. There are a couple ways to get up which is great for people with varying physical abilities/ages. Viveca and Greg were so exceptionally sweet and had a bottle of champagne waiting for us when we arrived. We enjoyed it with our wedding cake! Seriously, this place is amazing. Stay here. It's far enough away from 119 that it definitely feels secluded even though it's in a small (but very quiet) community. We recommend this cabin 100%.
A wonderful family retreat with unexpected lagniappe!
My husband and I arrived early in the week, awaiting our son/d-in-l and two little girls (1 and 3) for the fourth of July weekend. It was a perfect spot for us all: relaxing and comfortable, clean and very well equipped, with plenty of outdoors to entertain the girls with rock and pinecone gathering and decks for the adults to sit quietly and watch the water. Nederland and environs drew our attention for a play area and the Carousel of Happiness, with grocery and shopping options that fit our needs (although we had made an early week excursion into Boulder for some more esoteric supplies). After an trip to the nearby Golden Gate state park , we happened upon a huge moose, wandering and splashing in "our" lake! And on two separate days, we were treated to early morning sightings of a herd of elk across the lake from the house! Kris could not have been more helpful in supplying us with ideas for fun in the area, and we certainly hope to return to take advantage of more! Many thanks!!
Five years and counting
Fourth of July just wouldn't be the same if we didn't spend it at this perfect spot in Black Hawk. We've been there for the past five years during the first week of July and already have it booked for next year. When we walk in the door we smile at each other and say, We're home! We both enjoyed the new hammock this year and the patio by the creek is our favorite spot for drinking coffee in the morning and a cocktail in the evening. We love the privacy of the cabin and the fact that it's so close to Black Hawk and the fun of the casino. If you're lucky enough to visit this little bit of heaven, you'll understand why we can't wait to return!

Will award return investors to Tesla?
The company's Model S sedan is the first non-gasoline powered vehicle to be named Motor Trend's car of the year.
But Motor Trend just gave the company a much-needed shot in the arm Tuesday by naming the Model S its 2013 car of the year. It's a pretty huge award in the industry. The Model S beat out 10 other finalists, including the Porsche 911 and Boxster, the BMW 3 Series and Ford's (F) C-Max Hybrid and Fusion.
Investors began taking another look at Tesla Tuesday, sending shares up 2% to $31.71. The stock has had a bumpy year, falling to $23 in January and soaring to $38 in the spring.
The award marks the first time Motor Trend has given its top honor to a non-gasoline powered car. "It drives like a sports car, eager and agile and instantly responsive," Motor Trend said in its writeup of the award. "But it's also as smoothly effortless as a Rolls-Royce, can carry almost as much stuff as a Chevy Equinox, and is more efficient than a Toyota Prius."
Motor Trend said the sedan is "proof positive" that America can still make great things. Tesla makes the Model S at its plant in Fremont, Calif.
In an interview with CNBC, Tesla CEO Elon Musk described the award as a turning point in history. "The 'Car of the Year' award has a great deal of credibility in the industry and with consumers, and that additional validation, I think, is probably what a lot of people were looking for to buy the car."
The Model S costs roughly between $50,000 and $98,000, and can be upgraded with luxuries such as a glass panoramic roof, heated leather seats and turn-by-turn navigation.
Tesla isn't building the Model S as quickly as it had expected, which is the main reason why the company cut its full-year revenue forecast to between $400 million and $440 million, down from the previous $560 million to $600 million.
It only expected to deliver as many as 225 Model S customers in the third quarter, but deliveries should increase to between 2,500 and 3,000 in the fourth quarter.
Tesla has received criticism this year, most notably when Romney said that President Obama gave $90 billion in tax breaks to green energy companies.
"You put $90 billion -- like 50 years' worth of breaks -- into solar and wind, to Solyndra and Fisker and Tesla and Ener1," Romney said in the Oct. 3 presidential debate. "I mean, I had a friend who said, you don't just pick the winners and losers; you pick the losers."
Musk, who describes himself as an independent voter, said on CNBC that he's tired of getting pummeled politically. But he said that Democrats have been right about environmental issues.
"At some point we'll run out of oil," he said. "So we know that's going to happen. What we don't know is what the effect of putting all of that (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere is going to be. But since we're going to run out of it anyway, why don't we transition to a sustainable mode of transport and energy generation sooner rather than later and not run that experiment?"

Today marks the middle of July, and for hockey followers that typically means a snooze fest until October. Of course, there is training camp in September and a significant amount of us do have baseball to pass the time, but mid-July through until the start of the NHL regular season has to be two or three of the toughest months of the year. Considering that I'm one of those odd-ball types who prefers the cold weather… well… let's just say if I had that all powerful remote control that Adam Sandler "uses" in that movie Click, I would use it to fast forward to October.
At that point on the calendar, MLB's playoffs are beginning, the NFL is in full swing and, most importantly, the hockey season begins. OK, I may be biased, my birthday and my favorite holiday are also in October but for every sports enthusiast who ranks the four major sports with basketball on the bottom, the month of October has to be high on the list of favorite months out of the year.
But enough about me, none of you are here for my constant blabbing (although if you enjoy those type of blurbs, find me on facebook). The real reason you are here is for the discussion on the San Jose Sharks and how their 7-9 ranked forwards currently project for the upcoming season.
Now as noted many times before, it appears as if center Joe Pavelski—who spent much of last season on the third line—will return to a top-six position. And when fellow center Michal Handzus (most recently with the Los Angeles Kings) signed a two-year $5 million dollar deal with San Jose on the opening night of free agency, it further cemented Pavelski's return to one of the top two lines.
Handzus, 34, will almost assuredly begin the season centering the third line and as of right now is clearly San Jose's seventh best forward on the roster. Last season that title went to Devin Setoguchi. While Setoguchi owns a much different style and played mostly on the top-line for the Sharks a year ago, an argument could be made that Handzus better fits the role of seventh best forward.
Considering his size, 6'4″ 218 pounds, faceoff ability, and two-way game (including penalty killing), certainly Handzus brings attributes the Sharks needed which Setoguchi does not. However, Handzus is past his prime years and the Sharks have certainly lost some offensive panache without Setoguchi in the mix.
In terms of finding another source to make up for that offensive void left by Setoguchi, the in house options don't jump off the page. Currently, Handzus' de facto wingers on the third line will be Jamie McGinn and Torrey Mitchell.
While both players bring some upside, neither is a lock for any real amount of offense.
Mitchell, 26, is the more established of the two players and has had quite the difficult career after popping onto the season during the 2007 training camp. A fourth round pick by the Sharks in 2004, Mitchell made the opening night roster for the 2007-08 campaign and proceeded to play in all 82 regular season games and all 13 playoff games that season. The Montreal native quickly became a fan favorite as he popped home 10 goals and 20 points as an energy creating center who hustled all over the rink, contributed on the penalty kill and scored the most fantastic short-handed breakaway goal of the season. Sharks fans remember it well, don't think they need my play-by-play of it but in case you haven't seen it, you can view it here:
Unfortunately for Mitchell and the Sharks, those good vibes from the 2007-08 season came to a crashing halt—literally—when he lost his footing in a training camp scrimmage and broke his leg while crashing into the net. Mitchell endured arguably the worst sophomore slump, missing the entire 2008-09 campaign with the injury. He returned to play four of San Jose's six playoff games that season but another injury setback postponed his regular season return to late November the following season. In 56 games during 2009-10, Mitchell only picked up 11 points and was no where near the same impact energy player that he was during his rookie season.
This last season finally saw a return to form for Mitchell (at-least in the offensive end as none of the Sharks' penalty killers were especially proud of their 24th league ranking) as despite only getting into 66 games during the regular season, he added 23 points. Projecting that to a full 82 game season and continued growth in his game, perhaps a 30 point season wouldn't be out of the question. Although on the same token, 15 of those 23 points came virtue of playing on Pavelski's wing.
Seeing as he may not have that luxury for most of the upcoming season, who knows if Mitchell ends up as a 15-20 point third liner or a 25-30 point performer, hard to predict what the Sharks will get from Mitchell this season. At 5'11" 190, he's not especially big but he's not especially adapt with the puck either. Relying on him to be a third line wing may not be the ideal fit.
McGinn on the other hand brings a different skill set but similar ups and downs in his early career. Like Mitchell, McGinn brings good speed but that's where the similarities end. At 6′ 1″ 205 pounds, McGinn is the more physical player known to be unafraid to throw his weight around. His best asset is probably his wrist shot, although limited NHL experience and playmaking skills don't lend to him getting into scoring areas frequently enough to be a main stay second or third line winger.
The now soon to be 23-year-old Ontario native played 35 games for the Sharks in 2008-09 as a 20-year-old rookie, picking up two goals and six points. It was the following year however that most outside followers recognized his potential. During that next season McGinn played in 59 games and scored 10 goals despite averaging just 9:59 in ice time per game. Naturally, the thought many of us had, including myself, was that if McGinn were to play a full season with an increased role, perhaps 12-15 minutes per game, and an increase level of play could mean a 15-20 goal season.
Didn't turn out that way… not even close. McGinn struggled in the first half last year, picking up just one goal and six points in 49 games before being sent back to San Jose's AHL affiliate in Worcester for the remainder of the regular season. Yet just when you think McGinn's NHL future may have hit a giant road block, he re-appears seemingly out of nowhere in the postseason. He played in two games against the Kings and two against the Red Wings before playing in three of the five Western Conference final games against the Canucks. All told as a fourth line player he picked up a lone assist and was even in the plus/minus department while making his physical presence known.
Even though McGinn did pick up two five minute majors in the postseason, neither call genuinely fit the crime and unlike Ben Eager's penalties, neither of McGinn's major penalties were mindless checks, they were both hockey plays with clean intentions that merely ended awkwardly. That said, where does that leave McGinn?
He could bounce back and have that year which many expected of him last season but after last season that is extremely positive thinking. A fourth line role for McGinn seems to be much better suited for him until he proves he can remain at the top level for a whole season.
Therefore at this point in time, the current third line on the depth chart doesn't have an identity that will cause many opponents to sweat. Of course with the cap room the Sharks have available, everyone around the team believes at least one third line caliber player is still to be added.
Only problem with that notion is who fits the bill? The UFA market is limited, mostly chalked full of older scorers in decline and younger scorers whose inconsistencies and personalities don't necessarily fit the Sharks locker room.
Older veterans Cory Stillman, Sergei Samsonov, Vaclav Prospal and Alexei Kovalev don't fit for many different reasons and Nikolai Zherdev and Alexander Frolov are complete and total enigmas.
Perhaps Sharks GM Doug Wilson has been in talks with Flames free agent Brendan Morrison, arguably the best free agent still available. Last two years Morrison has posted 42 and 43 points and as the saying goes "you can never have too many centers." Morrison was also Calgary's third most used forward on the penalty kill last season and could be a solid addition.
Unless it's Morrison or long-time Predator J. P. Dumont signing on with the Sharks, best bets are the Sharks trading for third line help in some manner because it's hard to believe they are comfortable with the current McGinn-Handzus-Mitchell scenario.

Receives honor from Fire Rescue for his act
By Meagan McGone
INDIALANTIC -- Shortly after their parents went to sleep, brothers Colby and Jared Spragins of Indialantic, stayed up watching TV.
Six-year-old Colby popped a red-and-white-striped peppermint into his mouth and began to choke.
Jared, 11, was quick on his feet.
"My oldest son gave Colby his version of the Heimlich maneuver," said Mike Spragins, the boys' father. "The mint popped out, and little Colby got sick on the floor, which, according to the fire department, is a telltale sign that the mint was far down enough that he was really choking and needed help."
Not wanting to wake his parents, Jared cleaned up and went to bed. The next day, he casually mentioned the event to his mother, Janice.
"My son told my wife the next morning," Mr. Spragins said. "It was very low-key. Nobody panicked -- they didn't even wake us up to tell us what happened. He didn't really grasp what he had accomplished."
That was until Friday, Nov. 16, when Indialantic Fire Rescue Chief Jon Macdonald presented Jared with a certificate, honoring him for saving his little brother's life.
"Jared is a little embarrassed," Mr. Spragins said. "He doesn't like all of the attention. After the chief visited him, News 13 came and interviewed him a little more. I don't think he really understood what he had done. But thank God he did it."
Mr. Spragins said Indialantic Fire Rescue informed the family that Jared's actions really saved Colby from a grave situation.
"We didn't realize how severe that was until today," Mr. Spragins said. "That certainly hit home with me when I heard what the result may have been had Jared not done what he did."
Still, one question remains: How does an 11-year-old know how to perform the Heimlich maneuver?
"He said he saw it on TV," Mr. Spragins said. "Apparently there has never been a class in school that he learned it in. He just picked it up from watching TV - thank goodness."

Hello all..
I am considering a relationship with a guy who is 19 yrs older than me. I am 42 and he is 61. Not a big deal to me at all except that my guy has had multiple heart attacks and is on medication that not only makes it almost impossible to get an erection, but he also cannot take viagra or anything like that. We have been close friends for 10 yrs and I do love him but I am afraid I will cheat on him because I love sex. It seems like he can give me everything I want in love and not the passionate sex that I also need. I get approached by guys in their 20's all the time because I do not look my age, and I find myself wanting to take them up on it. I didn't know my guy had this problem when we started seeing each other and I felt selfish at first, but sex is a major part of a relationship at any age and I just don't know what to do. I have not committed to being his girlfriend yet and I don't want to hurt him. We are, in every other way, compatible. Help.
|Thu, 10-04-2012 - 4:35pm
My current DF (43 now) early on in the relationship suffered from ED. This was due to his blood pressure medications and lack of exercise. We agreed to try to overhaul his lifestyle with regards to diet and exercise and so far his BP is under control and he is now able to get and maintain normal erections.
I am not sure if your guy can do much about his dependency on the heart medications. I will suggest you do not commit to a relationship with him at this moment. If both of you can have an honest and open talk perhaps the both of you could discuss with a doctor if anything can be done to reverse the effects of ED caused by his meds.
Good luck!

I'm sure between the both of you if you're committed you can make it work

Am I nuts but talk to the guy about this and maybe he wont mind you have a lover?
I have 2 friends, the woman cannot have sex, it wont happened and that means no kids, but her husband adores her and she adores him they are the greatest couple we know. They been together for 20 years now and the problem as been there for 19 years and I asked them how they get it to work and they answered, he has a lover, he get the sex he needs from that person but the love and passion from his wife and she doesnt have any pressure or worries in bed.
They have had same lover for 14 years now and it works great for them.

MacLean still officiates Jr. B around the GTA.
God that would be fun to find what game he is officiating, pay my $10 and verbally abuse the guy all night.

Re: Basu's artcile, another "Pouliot effect" is: you play well and develop some chemistry with your linemates and the trio gets broken up; you play poorly for 2 periods with new linemates who are also playing poorly and you get benched.

What did Sean Baligian think of the hit? He's a great Habs fan on WDFN. What about Stoney?
Danno says:Log in to Reply
I'm not saying you're wrong. But if Cherry goes bananas, as is expected, he further polarizes the debate and does harm to his own credibility — not to mention the NHL's. It has reached a point now where the defenders of head-shot hockey must rethink their position if only for their own self-interest. If they don't they will alienate the very fans who generate the revenue that keep them employed.
It's called damage control. Guys like Cherry can be part of the solution or continue to be part of the problem. Without the fans the NHL is nothing and many the fans today are changing the channel and taking their sons out of the sport.
Tonight will be a defining moment. Stay tuned.

That's his new name from now on. Colon.
Omit says:Log in to Reply
I'm not sure about that. Colon Campbell makes a bit more than 1M, and his cousin, Mike Murphy, makes mid 6-figure salary. A total waste of expenditures. At least Buttman has made money for the owners.
Btw, look for Buttman to find another position for Campbell in the near future to silence the critics.
WindsorHab-10 says:Log in to Reply
Already happening in most U.S.markets but BUTTman does not get it. If we want changes made, it has to start by removing the dead-weight that is Buttman, Campbell and the rest of the stooges.
Funny thing is that I listen to sports radio from the U.S. and whenever they give sports updates, you hardly ever hear hockey and that's because they think this league is a joke & always blame Buttman.

I'm not a fan of Don Cherry, but he does know his hockey, and he also appears to care about players.
I think he will be fully aware of all the issues relating to this (the history between the two players, the fact that all NHL players know about the turnbuckle) etc … that being said I won't be surprised if he says Pacioretty should have been more careful or something of that nature.
smiler2729 says:Log in to Reply
No kidding but the owners are just as bad collectively as politicians.
Mattyleg says:Log in to Reply
You know what I was just thinking??
Perhaps this has been said before, but it just came to me now:
The NHL didn't do Chara any favours by not suspending him.
As a teacher, I know that if a child breaks a rule in my class, I have to punish him or her, even if I think it is marginal. For instance, I don't tolerate swearing in my class, and any student who swears has to write a punishment essay. If one of my students gets angry and in a moment of passion accidentally swears, they have to do the same thing. I will tell them that I know why they did it, and that it is excusable on a personal level, but that they still have to do the essay.
If I didn't do that, the other students would wonder why. On top of the fact that they would lose respect for me and my rules and start to push their luck, trying to see where the new 'line' was that they can't cross, they would start saying that the student was a favourite of mine. The student might even gain a reputation around the school for being a kisss-ass. Other teachers might start feeling that the student felt him/herself exempt from punishment.
Chara is going to have a very hard time around the league for the next little while. Perhaps longer. If the NHL had given him a slap on the wrist, Habs fans would still have felt that it wasn't enough, but those on the fence would assume that justice had been done. By not punishing Chara, it makes him look like even more of a criminal, because he got away with it. If the NHL REALLY thought he'd done nothing wrong, they should have given him a couple of games to take the heat off him.
This way, they're hanging him out to dry. Perhaps, in a cruel sense, it's the harshest thing they could have done.
—Hope Springs Eternal—

Lets not forget the rectal regions of Don Cherry.
Shiloh says:Log in to Reply
I'll be interested to hear Weasel MacLean's take tonight. Cherry is just Cherry but MacLean has had his lips planted squarely on the rectal regions of Buttman and Colon Campbell for years. I'm still shaking my head about the full-segment execution poor Burrows received when a referee was caught blatantly cheating.
MacLean had better learn a new song.
SeriousFan09 says:Log in to Reply
Who knows how Don will come out of this.
Pacioretty's a NA kid, a power forward, he likes him, but he's also a Hab.
Chara is a European, a giant of a man which he likes, but also European, but he's a Bruin.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.

AMBUSH • Mixed Use • More Difficult
For hikers and bikers looking for a trail out of the base area, Ambush is the one. This trail is an easier climb than Holly's. With 1,200' of elevation gain, Ambush departs from the base area via the service road, climbs towards the Super Condor Express lift, and meanders through some switchbacks until meeting up with Short Swing or continuing ahead to the Mid Mountain trail. Rosebud's Heaven and Rob's are also accessible via Ambush.
SHORT SWING • Mixed Use • More Difficult
This connector trail is perfect for those looking to meet up with either Holly's or Ambush. Short Swing takes you through a beautiful section of the resort in between the Super Condor Express and Sun Peak Express lifts. For those aiming to do a short loop, try taking Ambush from the base area over to Short Swing and then back down Holly's.
MID MOUNTAIN • Mixed Use • More Difficult
The Mid Mountain trail meanders through Canyons at an approximate elevation of 8,000'. This is a multi-use trail; please be aware that hikers, mountain bikers and horses could be on the trail at anytime. Please be aware of your location as you leave the boundaries of Canyons. The approximate length of this trail to the resort boundary on the south is 4 miles and the length to the resort boundary on the north is 4 miles.
IRON MAN • Mixed Use • More Difficult
One of the resort's newest additions, this trail is accessible via the Mid Mountain trail and meanders across Iron Mountain offering scenic views of both Canyons Resort and the town of Park City.
GOLDFINGER • Mixed Use • More Difficult
Accessible from either Iron Man or Mid Mountain, this new trail is full of switchbacks and is best enjoyed from the south to the north. Goldfinger can be utilized as part of a loop from Red Pine Lodge as you start out on Mid Mountain, turn onto Iron Man, head down Goldfinger and then return back on Mid Mountain.
HOLLY'S • Mixed Use • Very Difficult
This trail brings hikers and bikers to and from Red Pine Lodge via the base area and the bottom of Red Pine Gondola. Although the trail can be used in either direction, down is preferred (especially for bikers). This trail drops 900' in approximately 4 miles. Leave Red Pine Lodge on the Mid Mountain trail and head over to Lookout Peak. From there, follow Holly's to the base area.
WASATCH RIDGE CREST CONNECTOR • Mixed Use • Very Difficult
Accessed from the Mid Mountain trail, this is a difficult climb that gains access to the Wasatch Crest trail and upper Mill Creek Canyon. In the shade all day, this trail is the perfect escape from the mid-day heat.

text: Demons Possess Mid-Atlantic, Look To Las Vegas The Delco Demons have taken over the Mid-Atlantic Division by storm, winning all three divisional tiers this past weekend, and will be taking the entire club out to Las Vegas for the National Finals. The Demons Elites and Demons Minor Black swept the New Jersey Nightmare and Richmond Robins, respectively, in the semi-finals on Saturday to advance to the Divisonal Finals on Sunday, along with Demons Minor Orange, who was given a bye into that round. On Sunday, all three teams would drop their first game of the morning. For the Elites, it would be their first loss in regulation all year long. All three teams, however, responded, and their opponents only succeeded in waking the Demons. All three series went to the Demons in the last two games, with all three game 3's being won in convincing fashion. For the Elties, Tom Youmans (6g,2a), Scott Cras (5g,3a), Jack Phelan (3g,5a), and AJ Ehinger (2g,6a) led the way against the Liberty. For Minor Black, it was Joe Dangelantonio (7g,3a) and Tom Pflaumer (4g,3a) at the top of the stat sheet, while Steven Stewart (3W, 2.5GAA) started all three games against the Cougars. And for Minor Orange, Padraig Nolan (3g,1a) and Dominic Gricco (1g,3a) led their team against the Nightmare. In two short weeks, the Demons will be heading to Las Vegas, NV to compete in the National Semi-Finals in all three divisions. In the first round, the Demons Elites will take on the Long Island 495ers. In their only meeting this season, the Demons beat the 495ers 2-1, in a game with both teams missing big names from the bench. This promises to be a great series. In Minor Tier 1, Demons Black will take on 495ers Blue. They have also met earlier this season, with Demons Black taking the game 5-3. Finally, in Minor Tier 2, Demons Orange will take on the New England Insanity Black team. These teams have matched up as well this season, with the Demons taking down the Insanity 5-3 also. Out West, in the Elite Division, the Silicon Valley Quakes and Las Vegas Aces will play for the other spot in the National Finals, In Minor Tier 1, it will be OC Vanquish White and San Jose Pirates going at it, while in Minor Tier 2, it will be the Last Vegas Aces and Silicon Valley Quakes, again. National Semi-Final games will take place Friday 5/17 and Saturday 5/18. National Finals will be played Saturday night and Sunday 5/19. All games will be broadcast live by RatCast from the newly renovated Las Vegas Roller Hockey Center, and we'll be bringing you updates throughout the event, as the Delco Demons go after their first league titles. 1 year ago 0 share

@ Chase n others
Great historic win for you and the Pack. Seems as though the torch has officially been transferred North.
Assessment: it's tough to find any fault with a first ever type of win, given that it was on the road, the history and closeness of the teams and players, and that any win is a win.
HOWEVER, and this is not any sort of sour grapes, merely a Realistic view of the game, without the cloud of the historic lense.
North's Offense: At times looked absolutely incredible and unstoppable. However, During most of the second half, instead of finishing the job, the play calling became atrocious and along with a still proud East defense keep the Raiders in the game. The final 4th quarter drive finally did what should have been done much earlier and that is to trust their too little used running game. It chewed up both flock and yards. Grade B-, would be an A- if not for the odd play calling(a second half fake punt on 4th n 16 from their own side of the field…is that Bold….or just plain Poor play calling….ill go with the later).
East's Offense: The running game seems to be a shell of itself from years past and without a proven qb after the fist series, the lack of depth showed through. Everyone knew this was Webb's time to…well be Webb. Unfortunately with his injury,the Raiders quickly became predictable,and mediocre at best. No excuse what so ever, but we all got short changed with what could have been one of the potentially best games with his early departure. Grade D
North's Defense: Played quick and inspired, with White running sideline to sideline to make tackles, He's great, however the backers meed to keep the pressure off the back end by playing smarter and not running themselves out of plays. Smallish defensive front stood up well to the bigger East line and got a mice push in passing situations. Grade C+,
East's Defense: Actually played pretty good given then ineptness of the Raider offense and being on the field all night. Too many players playing both ways, and with a hot night, hydration became an obvious issue with so much cramping. Not sure if North's lousy play calling in early second half made them look better then they are or of they simply played their hearts out, but the combination certainly keep the game closer than it should have been Grade C.
Overall, a great win for North, enjoy it this morning then get back in the weight room, study the film, scrutinize the mistakes and find ways to improve. Do not let this go to your heads, Stay humble, and please please….North fans….don't start talking about how great the team is or that it should be ranked. All that takes care of itself over time. Stay humble my friends, and keep working. East, keep fighting, it's a lomg season, stay proud.

I was wandering about that score. I knew LIthonia was a little better this year, but wasnt thinking they were that good to beat Miller Grove who I know was viewed as a potential playoff team

OK so it's Saturday morning…the sun came up again, the world DIDN'T END!!!…BUT in 5AAAAA it is a BIT upside down!!! LOL!
NEW MANCHESTER is 2 / 0 and PAULDING COUNTY is 1 / 1…Congratulations and ENJOY IT…FOR NOW! VILLA RICA, SOUTH PAULDING, ALLATOONA are also 1 / 0…
And of course NORTH PAULDING'S WOLFPACK IS ALSO 1 / 0 after opening the season last night visiting "THE BONEYARD" against the RAIDERS!!! This one had all the makings of a playoff game and it showed as almost an hour before game time the place was getting PACKED and by game time it was STANDING ROOM with folks sitting on the hillside and lined up down the fences…IT WAS LOUD! Congratulations to the NORTH PAULDING folks for the crowd the brought, they were standing and cheering most of the night! Other teams should take a lesson from how this team's student's and family travels!
NORTH came prepared and ready to win…they wanted this game BAD!! Call it whatever you want…braggin' rights…win # 1…to say they finally beat EAST…Whatever! They came ready to win!
GOOD JOB NORTH as they came in and won 27 / 13! Win # 1 on the season…now stay healthy and have a good run to the playoffs…
Now the BAD news…EAST is in trouble…they got beat BUT worse they lost their starting senior QB barely 7 minutes into the game! He returned to the sidelines with his shoulder in a sling and word was he could be out up to 4 weeks. That is unfortunately but only the tip of the iceberg as far as problems go for this years RAIDERS team…This game PROVED what many of us knew LAST year…When EAST lost Coach Reid and the administration overruled EVERYONE else and brought in a close buddy…Chuck Goddard…as the replacement (?) the RAIDER program that had come so far in 6+ years was in trouble…
You could see it in last years team and even though they went undefeated in the regular season it was still a Coach Reid team. It remembered what HE had taught them…they still knew how to win. Goddard inherited a team loaded with talent, a strong Junior QB and two 1,000+ yard rushers. Even with this team it showed from the start that he had NO CLUE how to win, make coaching decisions, or react to game situations…Many of the EAST wins last year were much closer than the score made it appear.
Now comes this year and we saw an EAST team take the field in a game that they should have been pumped UP for, ready to win but they came out and stood around on the sidelines talking and acting like all they had to do was show up and get another win. NO fire, NO will to win, UNPREPARED! and then comes the unfortunate hit and EAST loses their SENIOR QB…the key to them winning and that was the game. From that point EAST was outplayed and OUT COACHED all night. NORTH went for it on several 4th downs, recovered an onside kick, completed pass after pass, even made a 2 Pt conversion after a TD.
It's looking like "THE BONEYARD" is going to be FULL of ghosts this year…the ghost of winning seasons, the ghost of what HAD been built and accomplished as EAST teams had been built from losers to where they had gotten…THEY HAD A WINNING ATTITUDE! EAST teams with less talent, smaller and slower had took the field and WON…they didn't know they couldn't or shouldn't in some of those games…BUT THEY WON!!
After 6+ years of posting on here and watching EAST games…I fear the worst…those days are OVER and this Coach is going to destroy what has been built and return EAST to just another average team that can and WILL lose on any given Friday night. It was a good run and fun while it lasted.
Still a RAIDER FAN….Hold your heads up boys it's not your fault!

That was the worst playing I have ever seen out of E.P. last night. This is what was expected to happen when the new head coach for E.P. was chosen because he was friends with the former principle and not because he knew how to coach. Simply look at Godard's record as a head coach for Wheeler and Cass. The only reason for last years success was due to the last remaining talent coached by John Reid. So now it appears that job of representing Paulding Co. will fall on the North Paulding Wolfpack. It was a great run Raiders but the it's sad to say that the good ol' boy system seems to be sending you on way to mediocrity. I'm sure you'll still be able to handle some of the teams in region 5aaaaa but I wouldn't be looking for any more region championships or deep runs into the playoffs if you even make it anymore.
August 31st, 2013
8:38 am
Wow East Paulding! Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Keep your heads up and fans still support your team!
August 31st, 2013
8:40 am
Wow, never expected this one, but I knew N Paulding had talent and Scott Jones is a good coach. Not Gary Varner good, but a good coach nonetheless…As for my Bucs, they dominated a bad Woodland team last night but as i said already, these Bucs are young and will have some bumps in the road this year. Very interested to see how we look against an improved PC Patriot team. Good news is we have 2 good young qb's and 2 excellent rb's, one only a sophomore. If you are going to beat Allatoona, do it this year, because the next 2 years we are STACKED. We do need a few more big uglies…also, look out opposing rb's/qb's/receivers for Bucs LB Justin Wade, he is a monster out there. He nearly decapitated a kid last night he hit him so hard! Best LB in the region by far. CANNON-losing Mitchell Webb hurts that is a tough blow and I suspect completely demoralized your raiders. Sorry to hear that.

Good post cannon. The worst coaching decision in my opinion was having Webb returning punts. That was the play he got hurt on.
August 31st, 2013
9:42 am
Oh and the number of east p,ayers going both ways was very surprising. You could see the effects late in the game. There were east players going down with cramps on seemingly very play in the fourth quarter.
North is loaded with seniors this year. And there's a lot of depth.
August 31st, 2013
9:45 am
Actually, Northside's new uniforms are old uniforms, throwbacks to 1960s, as Northside celebrates 50 years of football, the first 25 good, the last 25 outstanding.
Northside vs Flowery Branch recap
The Awesome
Willie Jordan and Glenn Smith, Northside's new version of Thunder and Lightning, hereby nominated for best running back duo in the state.
The Good
Northside's Run Defense and Special Teams, kicker/punter Issac Rivera is the real deal
The Bad
Northside's Passing Offense, definitely a step down this year even with another Ivory at quarterback
The Ugly
Northside's Pass Defense, open receivers all night, if not for dropped passes and penalties Flowery Branch would have made it a game
Flowery Branch
Overrated, not a top 10 team
August 31st, 2013
9:58 am
Wow, Webb returning punts??? You gotta be kidding me…i mean if you had a stud backup maybe? that's the dumbest thing i've heard of in a while, tells me all the talk about the E Paulding coach last year is true….N Paulding QB is no slouch either, and North has a bunch of talent in that pipeline..all 3 schools do, Allatoona/East/North…that's gonna be fun to watch unless one or two of them end up in 6AAAAAA next year…

When gville gets its defense tightened up, everyone will be playing for second place.
Believe it.

Great win Gainesville!
Now let's strap it on Friday night at your place & have a game for the ages!!
BTW – I live in Flowery Branch, had kids go to Buford & work on the square in Gainesville, so like last season & the 3 prior to that, I have a vested interest in this game..
If Watson (who I have said going into last season might be the best HS QB ever in the state of Ga (Tony Flannigan is the only one close, (IMO)) has a game like last year, Buford wins.. I also believe that was a epic defensive battle 19-15. The Red Elephants did not see a better D all season & I believe that's what pointed them to their State Championship…
Hope to see a good ole hard hitting, clean, uninjured game on BOTH sides!!
Go Wolves!!

North Paulding-East Paulding game was a classic rivalry type game but what was most impressive was how both teams and their fans showed respect and sportsmanship to each other. Im sure thee were a handful of sore losers who can't handle a loss and poor winners who try to rub it in the other team's faces. Both teams did get sloppy at times and made some mistakes. I don't think either team executed the game plan to perfection the way their coaches had in mind. Very seldom do you see a perfectly played game. Some of the previous comments and criticisms that have been made in earlier posts are part of the game. East has had an awesome team over the last 6 years but over time there is always a shift of power in teams, it happens in every team sport at each level from youth sports to the pros. A couple of examples of teams who have been power houses but aren't the dominant teams they were in the past: High School football – Parkview, Valdosta High School, Lakeside of DeKalb County, Dunwoody, Avondale, Thomas County Central and Washington County In College Football – Tennessee, Miami, Nebraska, Georgia Tech, Penn State. In Pro Football Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, just to name a few.Every one of these teams dominated in their region,state,conference, or league for an era of time, but have you heard anything about them lately? I will agree to a degree with one of the previous posters about how a coach can ruin a program or destroy the foundation that has been made. It seems that anytime a team with a history of success in wins and titles has a bad season, the coaching staff, in particular the Head Coach is being blamed. And a lot of those times it is a new Head Coach and a new staff who has inherited a team with a winning tradition but in his first season does not have the success of the previous Head Coach and his staff. When that happens some of the boosters who have become used to winning seasons and now expect it every year are ready get rid of the new coach. I will agree that there have been times when a new coach has been brought in to coach a team and ihe was not a good match for the athletes or the community but was given the job for whatever reason and was a bad hire. But in fairness to the coaches, it isn't always the coach and his staff who are the problem. A lot of the problems in college and especially pro sports can be blamed on financial backing. The college team with a lot of financial backing who has the best training facilities and athletic housing are going to be more attractive to a recruited athlete than the program that doesn't. In the pros, it's all about how much of a salary can be paid. But in high school sports, the community surrounding each school is who makes up the team. Money doesn't play as much of an issue as the talent in the community. Money from boosters can help furnish a better training facility and shinier uniforms which can sometimes help in making an attractive opportunity to hire a coach.Although I hope we all aren't so nieve as to not see some student-athletes whose family have the resources to "move" to a winning school with tradiditon. But for the majority high school teams the strength of the program will be based on the talent available. A good coach can develop the athlete's talent to perform to be the best they can be. But in time, the community changes, the kids grow up, people move, and sometimes the community dries up. An local high schol example would be Lakeside High of DeKalb County, they ruled their Region and were always one of the top teams in the State for years. It was a new community made up a lot of young families with a lot kids to pick to make up a team. Over time the kids in those families grew up but their parents have remained there to live so new people did not move in which made the talent pool dry up. It happens everywhere and always will. I'm not in any way saying East Paulding is dried up, I believe they will rebound from last night's defeat and be a better team. Let's don't forget they were undefeated last year until the 2nd round of the playoffs with their current head coach in fact. Also remember they lost some key players from last year who graduated. As much as it may sound crazy, sometimes a loss will wake up a team who has taken winning for granted and lost the hunger and the work ethic that got them where they are. This loss can be a character builder and make them a better team, give the coach and the team the opportunity to make some changes and grow up from last night's loss.
As for the realistic fan who evidently must be a frustrated coach who is unemployed and looking for a team to coach based on his comments. The defense looked really good last night and probably are the real reason why North won the game. The offense did look great at times but they weren't performing at the top of their game in last ight's game. There were a couple of plays called that didn't seem to make sense including the play in their own territory on 4th down in their own territory. But I would be willing to bet that is exactly why Coach Jones chose to go for it, it didn't make sense and nobody expected it. if successful, it would have been a brilliant call. If we are going to criticize the bad play and play calls, let's give credit for some good calls that Coach made that were successful. Fake punt in 1st quarter was successful for a first down, onside kick before the half when East was on their heels and taking it in for a score before halftime was huge. Bottom line if you don't take some risks you aren't going to win many games. North has way too many athletes at skill positions to just play line it up and ram it down your throat football. They have a bunch of talented and gifted players on both sides of the ball and to not utilize those talents would be poor coaching decisions, not the play calls that didn't work as drawn up. But in reference to doing what they should have been doing, they did it when they needed to with the 7 minute drive at the end of the game. I think North is going to surprise some people and to those who have only seen them play the one game last night, try and make it to some future games. This team is going to be special. Last night it looked like all the Paulding County and surrounding schools are starting to get better. Look out Gwinnett County, the power is starting to shift again………..and it might end up in Paulding for a while.

@ TruthHurts…
Nice post BUT you really have NO CLUE about the coaching issue / problem at EAST…EAST got TOO GOOD…TOO FAST under Reid and his staff and when he decided to leave the word went out and several great choices were located that would have been a perfect fit to step in a continue growing the successful program that was ALREADY in place. You know the old saying…If it Ain't broke don't try to fix it…Well EAST was NOT broke!
Goddard WAS NOT the choice ANYONE wanted except the ex-principal who knowing he was leaving wanted to take care of his old buddy regardless of what it would do to the program. Goddard was not a choice of ANYONE else…he wasn't even on the RADAR! He has NEVER won ANYWHERE he's been and seems determined to continue that legacy at the expense of the EAST program.
If Coach Goddard had any bit of professionalism, class, or respect for the profession he would admit he was in over his head…resign…and let a qualified coach take over the team before the season is completely lost.

September 1st, 2013
7:37 am
Are you comparing those 2 run of the mill teams from Florida to the #1 team in the nation Booker T. that destroyed Norcross? Sir Booker T. would beat the brakes off ANY school in Dekalb just like they did Norcross.
Funny when Gwinnett County was in 5A with Dekalb I did not see Dekalb win not one championship.
How can you play serious football when you all can't even put lights on your fields? Please stop it.

@ Truth
You sound like a country homer…shift of power to Paulding County? Never. There are places that will always win 6A in every sport that counts every single year; Gwinnett, Cobb, Fulton, and South Georgia.
Be easy, come play off time Region 7 and 8 4th seeds will be beating the 1 seeds from your weak region.

Thanks for the suggestion.

@JAB MLK would beat the breaks of Norcross this year and they could have beat them last year as well the last two years MLK had injuries at key skill postions and last year MLK had injuries and didnt play two starting ol and MLK star CB hardly played in that game in addition to that when they play a school the is lighter in color they have to play against the other school and the refs so please stop that nonsense and the school Stephenson played was ranked my friend they my not have been as good as Booker T but time will tell because Norcross clearly isnt what they were last year and the deklab schools did what they were suppose to do win big thanks

@ mlk c/o 2012 in the past mlk passed way too much passing on the 3 yard line come on coach Evans was good but took to long to get in plays and passed when he should have simply ran MLK is going to be fine being more balance plus this was the first game of the year and they played a school that had already played a game and MLK still won BIG!!!!!!!!!

@ RealTalk, what you talking man! Stephenson & MLK play in the best region in the state. They dominated Gwinnett County teams when they were up in the state's highest classification. Stephenson Played North Gwinnett like true champs in the scrimmage game and should have won if it wasn't for a called back TD.. Many of you guys will not admit how powerful Dekalb County teams are in region 6AAAAA, but the truth said is that they can & will play with anybody. When Stephenson Played against AAAAAA teams in the playoffs they only lost by a touchdown or field goal. They would have played Booker T Washington tougher and better than Norcross did… "ENOUGH SAID!"
September 1st, 2013
7:51 pm
@ RealTalk, please change your screen name to CrazyTalk, because obviously you don't know nothing about Football, Norcross is not the same team that it was last year, was and highly rated wrongly. The top team in AAAAAA is North Gwinnett and Stephenson already humble them on their home field on a closely played scrimmage game. Ranking are for sports writers and publicity. How many top tanked teams actually win championships; true championship games are played & won on the field. If North Gwinnett would have played Booker T Washington. instead of Norcross, the outcome would have been different.
The X's and O's of the game are worked out week by week in the stats and wins & loses, who put up the most point? How did the defense played? How many tackles, hurry ups, QB sacks, 3 & out did the defense accomplished. How much yardage did the offense put up? How well did the QB played? How balance is thew passing and run game? How well do the QB work under pressure? etc. etc. etc. GET A LIFE, & GET WITH THE PROGAM…:)

What game did you watch? If you were impressed by sportsmanship, you must have had earplugs on. You didn't hear North fans chanting "Where is Mitchell" during the 1st and 4th quarters, while he stood on the sidelines in a arm sling. That's not sportsmanship where I come from.
@cannon rules
You are correct about Goddard. Everyone knew last yr he was not a good practice or game coach. East is, and in the future, will be down in talent. It will only get worse from here. Without Webb in the game this team is in for a long yr.
