I never said there were no kids at the game, I said I didn't see any. I know there are three family-only sections at the Ralph, but even with that special accommodation, I wouldn't bring a young kid to an NFL game. I only cited one incident that would have been disturbing for a kid to see; there were more, including a fight.
No matter where you sit, there's always going to be at least one moment when everyone stands up and cranes their necks to some point in the stands, away from the game, because some dopes got beer muscles and started duking it out.
That's never going to prevent me from attending NFL games, because I love going to them. I just wouldn't want my young nephews to have to watch that.

I might not have had a problem with the team changing its name to the Firebirds, except that portraying it as the Firebirds "coming back" is deceptive and misleading.

My entree was "Pleased to Meet Me." The friend who introduced me to the Replacements said he read a review where some yahoo claimed that they were starting to sound "overproduced." He said, "Oh yeah?" and played "Sorry, Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash" for me. I saw them play at the Palace Theater in Albany. Paul Westerberg stopped in the middle of at least one song because he forgot the words. It was tremendous.

Why make it yourself when you can go to Price Chopper and buy five pounds of it to last for the next two days? As long as some goof with the number ahead of you isn't ordering a single slice of every coldcut in the case.
