I need to come up with a rule that says you can’t post in the comments section of our paper’s sports page social media posts unless you use your real name and profile.
My thought is, if you are going to make a comment, then own it.

To all the head football coaches out there, enjoy the good days.
Enjoy the wins. Enjoy the moments when the entire town you are coaching in has your back and cheers you on every chance it gets.

For God’s Sake
Most of my friends are considerably younger than me, as in, “I am old enough to be their father” younger than me. Our age difference is not an issue. It is not apparent in our conversations, at least from my perspective. My friends, of course, see what I do not: a white-haired man talking. But it doesn’t seem to matter. Occasionally, however, like a poker player’s tell, I will say something that instantly marks me as from a different generation. Usually, it is me quoting some iconic, funny line from a television show I grew up watching. Not only are my friends unfamiliar with the iconic line, but they usually have never even heard of the television show.
