30 Seconds

The media gets more and more ridiculous all the time. Now they're worried about a Santa shortage.

Whoever did the article about Thanksgiving dinner costing a little more this year needs to do some recalculating. We had 10 people at our Thanksgiving. The article didn't even mention mashed potatoes or noodles in that. We got our turkey for 89 cents a pound, and your paper allotted $1.50 a pound for theirs. For 10 people with those items of food, it cost $122 to feed 10 people.

I'm sorry the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade had to have adult entertainers. This is not good. We need to show our young kids some moral values. I'm sorry it was on.

After reading the recent complaints in 30 Seconds about Odell Beckham, Jr., of the Browns, I felt it was finally time to voice my opinion of Baker Mayfield. I'm tired of him constantly being the only member of the Browns who continually gets his name, his picture and all his complaints in The Times-Reporter constantly. He's not the only member of the team. All the other members work just as hard to play with their injuries, just as much as he did. Yet no one else seems to ever deserve any recognition. These things happen in football. Like my grandma used to say, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." I have a message for Mayfield. Fast food places are looking for help. Maybe you could apply there.
