Monday Night Open Thread

As I’m sure you’ve heard, two NYPD officers — Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos — were ruthlessly murdered while sitting in their patrol car in Brooklyn this weekend. The Yankees, through George Steinbrenner’s Yankee Silver Shield Foundation, will pay for the education of Officer Ramos’ children, according to Bill Madden and Teri Thompson. (Liu didn’t have any children). Ramos has two sons, one of whom is currently in college. The Yankee Silver Shield Foundation provides education for children of NYPD, FDNY, and Port Authority employees killed in the line of duty. The circumstances are horrible and I’m sure this is little consolation for the Ramos family, but good job by the Yankees stepping up.

This is your open thread for the evening. Broncos-Bengals is the Monday Night Football game and none of the local hockey or basketball teams are in action. There is some college basketball though. Talk about anything and everything right here. (Please no politics or anything like that.)
