The loser has to work a game and refer to both coaches as "Sir" (or "Ma'am" as the occasion dictates) the entire game!

Which term do you guys use? And don't skew your answers just to see me lose. I will find you and you will be sorry. :cool:

Hey - I said it was insignificant stuff.
I prefer the Travelling Wilburys version

Well its all right, riding around in the breeze
Well its all right, if you live the life you please
Well its all right, even if the sun dont shine
Well its all right, were going to the end of the line

I use baseline, but I know endline is the correct techincal term.

No, just someone with an opposite view than yours.

mbyron to English translation:

"Do all Fox News fans use, "opposite than", instead of the more correct, "opposite from"?"

(I must credit my ex for this bit of grammatical knowledge. I guess that she eventually got tired of correcting me)

Actually, it should be "opposite OF". Lots of people say, "different than" when it should be "different from". But I've never heard that "opposite from" is ever, ever correct!

btw, Padgett, I say endline mostly, courtesy of Howard, who insists on it.

Can't argue with Howard. Seriously, I am not being sarcastic for a change. I totally respect the guy.

I told you that I was getting way out of my league. I also told you my ex got tired of correcting me. I still can't get it right.

Baseline

Endline. By the way, Fox News has the best looking ladies. That's why they call it Fox News.
