Hi everyone, I'm the ghost of a once-regular #contentmine supplier 'round these parts, Beerguyrob. I've got to say - having to do my real job at my real job sure has cut into my posting ability. I quite enjoyed having a half-hour here & there to research some history or type up

NFL Noise: It's all about reducing capacity & costs today: The Ravens announced they will go as low as 14,000 per home game, to accommodate social distancing.
