  1. Was going to say the same thing. He was actual ass defending the run as well. His type of OLB get criminally overrated by fans and media because they can make 1-2 big plays a game and that's all people notice.
  2. I wonder how hard it would be to create a Surly chat bot to appropriately post the same 30 gifs over and over.
  3. The first thing I do when recruiting news breaks is call up my daughter's in-laws and discuss NIL deals.
  4. May update: From the beginning of the year, I'm down 16 lbs, 4.5" from the waist, and 2" off the hips. I'm pretty much on the pace for fat loss that I set for myself. I'm a little behind on lean gains. Not really worried about it, I'm focusing more on health and athleticism more than hitting certain numbers or bulking up. I'm pretty sure I'm thinner than I was on my wedding day a decade and half ago. I've been getting to the gym a lot more last month - I'm going during lunch, which limits time but greatly improves with consistency (4 kids and a lot of after school activities). I want to be more deliberate about diversifying workouts: zone 2 and zone 3 cardio, plyometrics, and white-fiber focused weight workouts into my schedule. I'm thinking about turning every 3rd workout into a revolving door. Will essentially one day per month actually going to be enough to get anything out of these? I was doing zone 3 once a week in the fall and didn't feel it was doing much. --- Commenting on the protein talk: it don't make a shit. Studies that identify a certain chemistry/mechanism in the body almost always fall flat when follow ups measure the actual final outcomes, or there's like one or two genetic outliers that carry the average. This goes beyond the body: complex systems generally don't produce the overall outcomes intuited from first-order results. If it is working for you, don't fix it.
  5. His arm was vertical last year compared to before. And you know what? It made him better. If he would narrow his stance a touch and get his hip rotation ahead of his shoulders he'd improve a bit more.
  6. 95% of NFL QBs. It's amazing to me that there's a contigent on this board that throwing mechanics don't matter.
  7. Now summarize it in no more than 10 bullets and reformat for darkmode.
  8. His issue was blowing assignments, understanding down+distance, and taking plays off. He's okay physically, so maybe this will be a wake up for him.
  9. Feel like I was one of the last holdouts to actually make posts on those. At some point they turned into gif celebrations instead of articles/discussion on the player. Which sicks because those were great to bump after 5 years.
  10. nvm. Thread is off the rails right now.
  11. And Duvernay has bad hands.
  12. New month: down about 10 lbs and 2-1/2" off my waist YTD. I'm bigger across the shoulders, arms, and thighs, so hopefully I'm also gaining some lean mass. Chest hasn't moved, but I carry a decent sheet of extra weight on it (no moobs). I have more energy than I have had in a long time. And that started with the healthy eating moreso than losing any weight, but it's only improving. I'm waking up earlier and less drowsy while not fading in the late afternoon.
  13. There's a couple things wrong with this and they are common mis-beliefs. 1) Only HS dropouts have more kids. For every other category the longer a woman stays in school, the more kids she will have. There are probably issues with causality leading to this common misconception. 2) Also, the age of first marriage and first child stays the same across every other education level. Waiting to establish a career isn't really a class or education thing (although it has changed over time). 3) Low income families are more likely to be dual-income and more educated women are less likely to work. This is a no-brainer once you think about, but we often celebrate the power couple and working mom more than the "normal" family. Still, the reality is that couples comfortable living on one income are the ones that do it, and educated women are more likely to find partners that provide that lifestyle.
  14. Moments before breaking her leg: 21abcdc7-8fb1-452e-aa94-6f9622f000c0.mp4
  15. He is currently locked in a social prison in Britian. Pretty sure the Jews put him there.
  16. The last time we got one of those it worked out.
  17. A toric? Pretty sure that's super common in string theory. People take Weinstein's theories seriously. His main complaint is that so much of the $$$ and computational power in physics go to string theory.
  18. They are having trouble squaring away Bama being terrible last year with them going undefeated outside of our game and winning the SEC!SEC!SEC! last year.
  19. I might as well chime in this year. This ended up being be a sort of a longcat, but I don't visit this thread often: Started the year 225 with a Halloween goal of 205. I know that it doesn't sound like much, but I'm also trying to gain around 20 lbs of muscle in that time, so I'm really trying to cut closer to 40 lbs of bad weight. See below's response to Brew for a full picture, but I'm trying to regain some not-insignificant, long-lost upper body strength No drugs. CICO/WFMM diet, which for me means cutting carbs (mostly in the form of snacks and binge meals), while just all-around eating cleaner foods. I cook 90% of my own meals, so mostly replacing rice and pasta with veggies. Stress and sleep end up being my weaknesses more than anything. I use caffeine (either plain old coffee or GTE/Vit B) in the morning to help with sleep cycle. Light strength training with walks/runs/bikes around the neighborhood for exercise. My boy's spring soccer is about to start and it'll give me 2 days/week for more structured cardio when that happens. I'm terribly inconsistent about exercising. With 4 kids and a salaried desk job, I basically just try to take advantage of what I get. I'm currently below 217, with essentially no strength or muscle gains (or losses for that matter). I'm closing in on a decade past 4 elbow surgeries followed by months of PT. Without knowing your exact situation, my only advice is to listen to your body. Figure out what's painful in a good way vs painful in a bad way - if that makes sense. Know your limits, do what you can, and eventually you'll be able to add more. And I'll add that patience really helps and that, for general health, walking is underrated.
  20. "Your honor, restricting timing of NIL deals reduces player leverage. Players have maximum leverage before they sign and enroll." "So you are saying that players have the most NIL leverage when they are only recognizable to a small number of people, mostly recruiting board fans?" "Yes, your honor, because we are not paying them for the marketability of their NIL." "Then what are they being paid for?" "To sign, enroll, and play for the University of Tennessee." "And this is legal in Tennessee?" "Technically, no, your honor, it is not. But we are also using legal pretenses... carefully worded contracts and such, you honor... so that we can pretend to not be doing that." ---- I'm not taking a stance either way, just pointing out the absurdity of the situation.
