Default It sure is funny......

Everytime I post a thread about sports, it gets bumped......what about freedom of speech? I thought New Hampshire was the live free or die state. I am beginning to think my threads are not welcome here, is it because I am not a local? Congratulations Patriots fans.......and......welcome to the terror dome....it should be a good game, but my money is on the E.A.G.L.E.S......EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Technically the forum isn’t supposed to have politics or sports. People get more than a bit passionate about both. Besides, you’re an Eagle’s fan!
New England is our team, and they rule!

Yeah Glennsteely,

I tried to comment on the game last week and it got bumped, then I reread the FAQs. Not complaining though. The rules are why this is a great forum, the rules keep it clean and focussed. Sports, politics and bike week discussions can get ugly quick if not for our webmaster...

Go pats......

I love New Hampshire, so my second favorite team is the Patriots, but sorry, gotta root for the hometown on this one. Plus, you already got a championship this year with the Red Sox. Don't be greedy, now. Spread the wealth.

In keeping with the “Forum rules”,,,

Is there a good sports bar in the Wolfboro area where a person living in, going to, dreaming of being at Lake Winnipesaukee” can go and see the PATS beat the Eagles??

Sorry Don, just had to do it.

Don't get me wrong, no one is a bigger Patriots and Red Sox fan than me. It's just that this forum has always been completely dedicated to the Lake Region and I prefer to keep it that way. When I've taken polls and asked if I should allow politics or other unrelated issues in the answer has always been a resounding NO.

The way I've handled it over the past few years is to allow a single thread when the teams get to or win the championship. I'll let this thread go so please limit Patriots talk to this thread.

ToW has found the perfect way to connect the Superbowl to the Lakes Region. Information about places in the Lakes Region to watch the game or attend a Super Bowl party are certainly relevant and allowable.
