when having a "one sided" discussion with those you supervise (ranging in age from 16 to 70), how many four-letter words are appropriate in a 5 minute span. concurrently, if the discussion is regarding the same topics and concerns you've AT LEAST 5 times prior, does the appropriate number of four-letter words used increase?
I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.
