Discussion

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Flag football moves into playoffs



PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh Flag Football League playoffs will get under way tonight with regular-season champion E&E; Construction and runner-up Wooden Ski and Wheel earning first-round byes.

In quarterfinal play tonight at Penfield Park, third-seeded Budweiser will oppose the Coors Light Silver Bullets, the sixth seeds, at 6 p.m. with T. Maliniak Masonry, the No. 4 seed, playing fifth-seed Met Life at 7:15 p.m.

E&E; Construction capped off the regular season with a 32-0 rout of Coors Light last Sunday. Tanner Currier threw TD passes of 14 yards (to Neil Stevens) and 13 and 18 yards (to Glen Engstrom). Pat Clancy added a 8-yard scoring run with Craig Duprey hitting Tanner Currier with a 7-yard TD toss. Currier hooked up with Engstrom on an extra-point pass and Duprey hit Matt St. Clair for a PAT.

Engstrom picked off two Coors passes with Clancy, Duprey and Paul Bruno each intercepting one.

Tom Livsey's 20-yard pass to Chris Verkey gave Budweiser a 6-0 win over Maliniak's. Verkey also had an interception.

Nick LaBounty threw touchdown passes of 8 and 80 yards to Larry Cook in Wooden Ski and Wheel's 40-0 thrashing of Met Life. Mike Prior added a 6-yard scoring run. The winners also picked up two safeties and extra-point runs from Prior and Nick Furnia. LaBounty hit Chris Fish for PAT and Prior passed to LaBounty for a point.

Brandon Bruce had two interceptions for Wooden Ski and Wheel. Dave Bulriss had one for Met Life.
