I agree with Scrappy: DE CAF
Do you know how many toxins are in coffee?

The bigger picture is a kid does something and gets two technicals on Tuesday. He does the same thing on Thursday and gets two technicals. On next Saturday he does the same things and gets two technicals. See where I'm going with this? I don't care if one arbitrary kid's parents think I have it in for little Johnny. Do you count how many fouls you call on little Johnny to make sure they are spread out evenly and his parents don't think you had something against him? What if little Johnny travels four times in a game? Does that mean you call two and your partner calls two?

I had a bagel with cream cheese, an apple (it was too soft) and I have a big bottle of water. No decaf needed!

I thought his "name" was Scrapper, not Scrappy!
