ParticipantYou are hereby free to talk about football. I wont bore everyone with my analysis and gloating since there about five basketball fans on these boards. I will just say that this has been a great year, perhaps the best ever, my sports, my kids, my friends, my love life, I have been blessed in each area. So politics and finances have had a difficult year, stocks and investments could have gone better, who the hell cares, I wouldn’t trade one mintute of the last twelve months.
Now if the chargers win the lombardi trophy, I will be convinced that it is my world and everyone else is just living in it.

ParticipantAllan and SD, you are not permitted to discuss football until the NBA finals are settled. Sports hijack threads are mandated by law to remain within the appropriate season. Hockey references are permitted for the next 48 hours since the cup was just awarded. Unless you can refer to a raider or charger whose last name is odom, ariza or gasol, you have to wait. The three of us can hijack every thread with football at any point after tuesday, because the lakers will have this wrapped up by then.

ParticipantPadre, I know it’s late in the thread, but I have been mulling over your comment because it hits home for me. My son is nearing 16, a little background, he is straight A kid and a multi sport athlete. I worked from the day I turned 16 to the present, never even had a week between jobs, but I find it hard to compare my life to his. He goes to school an hour before school for sports and stays three hours after school for sports (some semesters he is in two sports and always in ap classes), he gets no summer, school ended yesterday and football starts monday, goes all summer, with only a couple of weeks alloted for family vacations in the middle, even those are in jepordy because he is taking ap accelerated courses during that time. As that sport ends, the next begins, and so on. I know the merits of a job, I had one as a teenager but I didn’t have his schedule, high school sports didn’t seem as demanding in my day, nor did the classes, the kid loves it, I can’t see taking him out of it just to work when it isn’t about the money but the lesson. I have no delusions that he will become a professional athlete, it is merely a hobby, but I don’t see where he can fit in a job with his schedule (he is out of the house 12 hours and then does homework, showers, eats and goes to bed) and I fear the grades will suffer or he will quit sports if he gets a job. I paid for my car and social life with my earnings at his age, I am faced with either depriving him of a car and a social life or funding it myself, which isn’t a problem it’s just the missed financial lessons that a job brings. I am really not sure what to do. It’s quite the pickle, on one hand he has one hell of a work ethic (grades and six pack abs to prove it) but on the other hand he is missing out on basic econmics by not working. I have an older paid off car I was going to give him, more for me than him, I’m sick of driving him, but then I worry that I will be jipping him, I wasn’t given a car when I turned 16, I got a job, then bought one at some point. It’s so easy to parent until you actually have to.
I think Mark Twain said something like this once “when I was 23, my dad was an idiot, I could barely stand to listen to him. When I was 30, he was a genius, it is amazing how much he learned in seven years.”
