The Buzz: Football / Futbol Edition

Good Morning Community!

We're in the middle of sportsball season in many places around the world right now and the intensity can really be felt every weekend (if you pay attention to that type of thing).  The NFL in America is in mid-season form.  The Richmond Tigers just won the AFL Championship for the twelfth time in the Australian Football League.  The Premiere League is in full swing in Europe.  And don't forget the Washington Nationals recently won the World Series for the first time in team history - although I'm never sure what other "worlds" they're competing against.

So what's YOUR sports team / league / season of choice?  Who do you follow or cheer for?  We'd love to hear about it in the comments below!

And now, on to...






COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS:

You may have noticed The Tap: Just for Fun is no longer in Best Practices. We want to keep that forum for Organizational Best Practices only. What is OBP? Think of it as the BEST way to do something in your day to day. It’s for discussions about a non-product related topic. Check out Organizational Best Practices today! The Tap: Just for Fun is for discussions about the weather, your favorite football team, what you made for dinner last night, anything you want to talk about outside of the nonprofit sphere. It now lives under the member drop-down at the top of your page.
