It just means that they have four full weeks where they shouldn’t be expected to be available for training or other team exercises. It’s not like they are expected to be training seven days a week and only get 28 days off: they just have to at least be available for team activities during the non-protected time.

What I didn’t see was that Burke had acknowledged the correction.

Nah.

Burke should just not redact their email addresses when he posts these.

Oh, you sweet summer child. You still don’t get the joke :(

I need more articles where we laugh at dumb people. I definitely need more articles where we laugh at dumb people who are so arrogant in their stupidity that they’re willing to write terribly composed emails.

Sounds like you were careless about double checking whether they had fixed the article or not. Now we’re in the nose dive where a careless poster is arguing that a careless site should not be claiming people are careless.

I don’t think anyone is trying to defend the guys who go 130° with their legs in the same way that no one tries to defend the women who do the same. That being said, it’s physically painful for guys to sit with their legs entirely parallel for more than a few minutes.

If you have to explain the acronym, it wasn’t worth using in the first place.

I’m there with you.

By “the games” do you mean “the NCAA College Football Playoffs,” and by “on New Year’s Eve” do you mean “tonight, December 31st, on ESPN, starting at 4PM EST?”

I’m trying to wrap my head around what purpose you had in posting his picture. Is this what you think “cruel British drunks” look like?

None of the res halls have roof access and they put up roof fencing on other buildings to curb the on-campus jumper rates. You’re honestly better off just taking a dive at Geisel, since you’ll land in the always empty loading area and won’t be as easily saved.
