If you start a thread with a big long link like ... http://www.canada.com/sports/football/c ... 8d4fb8e0b8

you stretch the front page making it look really wide and ugly so to post that link properly please do the following without the spaces ... the spaces are just to show youy what I have done

type ... link here

end result will look like this link here

a much nicer look ... for more tips on proper posting

Another way to shorten long links can be found at http://tinyurl.com
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Actually, I can't pinpoint any one "guilty" party :wink: It's just that when it happens, I keep meaning to bring this thread up, but forgot. Today I found it. :rockin: It's a great little tool, and works awesome! :yes:
