Common Sense has passed away...

Interesting and sadly rather true.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has

Been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his

Birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be

Remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;

- Why the early bird gets the worm;

- Life isn't always fair;

- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more

Than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in Charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but

Overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy

Charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from School for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding

An unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job

That they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent

To administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform

Parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and

Criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar In your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to

Realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her

Lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;

I Know My Rights

I Want It Now

Someone Else Is To Blame

I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you

Still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

    • If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes  Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo  
    • Grok AI: No, there are no credible reports that the Carolina Hurricanes offered Jake Guentzel the same contract terms as Tampa Bay (7 years, $63 million total, $9 million AAV) before he signed with the Lightning. Reliable sources, including The Athletic, consistently reported that Carolina’s offer during negotiations was an eight-year deal worth $64 million ($8 million AAV). Guentzel did not accept it promptly, leading the Hurricanes to trade his negotiating rights to Tampa Bay on June 30, 2024, for a 2025 third-round pick. He then quickly signed the 7x$9M deal with the Lightning on July 1, 2024. Guentzel himself later reflected (in 2025 interviews) that staying in Carolina was his initial preference, but negotiations stalled and “didn’t work out,” with Tampa’s opportunity becoming a “no-brainer.” No reports from outlets like ESPN, NHL.com, or insiders (e.g., Elliotte Friedman, Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli) indicate Carolina ever matched or offered the Lightning’s exact terms—total money, AAV, or length. The extra year was Carolina’s key advantage, but they reportedly stuck closer to $8M AAV and moved on when Guentzel explored options.
