&lt;div class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is worse than the Michael Jordan stuff when he couldn't make up his mind. Reportedly to sign with them for one year for 10 - 12 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;So looks like Tiger may get a shot at a gold medal now to add to his incredibly long list of winnings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rugby 7's is a lot of fun to watch, I'm just curious if the US has enough professional level players to field a team?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hypothetically speaking, if the Rangers continue this slide and drop the next 10 or even 8 of the next 10 games does Washington get fired? Also, would JD be fired along with him? I'm attaching a poll for Wash's replacement in the event that he did get fired.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To any other fellow Veterans out there, retirees, or if you're currently serving whether it be active duty or national guard/reserves. Thank you very much for your contribution to this great country of ours. It's been a while for myself (12 years) since I finished my term in the US Army, but I personally know the sacrifice it is to leave all of your loved ones behind and from the bottom of my heart I truly thank you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Happy Veterans Day!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
