This is (a) how the site looked the morning after, and (b) a great metaphor for how my insides felt today.

You only need one in the car to play Tecmo. You can coach the Pro Bowl with your eyes on the road, no doubt.

Surely you will burn in the Tecmo Inferno for that comment.

Chet and Josh, thanks for hosting the tourney over the years. I've been to five Madison tourneys and they all were amazing.
