Happy Friday!

As we prepare for the weekend and hopefully for most of you, a couple of days off, we look forward to NOT watching our favorite team in the NFL Divisional Playoff games for the second year in a row.

Hopefully the games will be competitive but, to be honest, I do not have much rooting interest.

Change is upon us and we know what the main debate point is about now, don’t we.

Let’s try to keep it on point.

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

• No discussion of politics or religion
• No feeding of the trolls
• Leave the gender hatred at the door
• Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
• Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
• No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
• If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
• While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.
