Someone should put our a feeler.  Hear he is great in the two minute drill but can struggle in the red zone

Tell that to my son.  Had myocarditis from Covid not once but 2x.  I love how people are trying explain away truth to justify their bias.  Don't tell me it isn't an issue.  I am living it.  Take your bias and lack of concern and f off.

BTW I was against closing things down so dont classify me as tinfoil hat uber liberal labeling shit.

In regards to Beane........ why?  He did what he loved and his experience drove him to the moneyball philosophy.  It is why he is who he is so he should not of gone to Stanford.

Thank you.  He has responded very well to the steroids so far.  Resting heart rate was 50 bpm higher than normal.  This was 2 weeks after he was asymptomatic and cleared.

My son who is 14 was just diagnosed on Monday with the same condition.

No physical activity for 3-6 months.

So practicing and playing close to 22 or more games with 8 weeks between seasons is OK?

So stop everything to…

So stop everything to evaluate long term issues??  How long do you propose to evaluate.  

What about the long term effects of a society that doesn't go to school for education or exercise with sports.  

I get both sides but there is no way this goes away.  We need to live with it like the normal flu.  

If that is the case then so…

If that is the case then so be it.  It is the playing field of the elites.  Join them or go home

Why do people make the…

Why do people make the assumption that the old era guys wouldn't be better in todays environment.  You have to account for growing up in an AAU culture, health, nutrition and training advancements etc.

The older players would be bigger, stronger and faster than they were in their era.  

The Thomas, Jordans, Birds and Johnsons of the era would still be cream of the crop just because of their mentality

Hell, we rarely did jump balls to the best jump ball receiver in the B1G who had a better attitude than the other 2 big timers from his class and you expect more......

True but it took a multi week injury to make it happen.  There is a difference between taking a risk and ruining a QBs confidence by letting a backup in vs putting the backup in because you have no choice and then find out you are comfortable with him and keep him in.

Old loyalty can become new loyalty with familiarity.

Make sure you bring the snacks to the soccer game.  Kids need some nutrition after they get their participation trophy

Dropped a bit??? He was the number 10 pick in the first round and KC gave up 2 1sts and a 3rd for him.  He was projected from 13 to 38. He was a huge riser in the draft.

Want to see an Oklahoma vs Bama CFB Final with Hurts dominating.  Be a good story

Don't forget to figure in ads (it will happen) and the data.  Men who spend money on sports is a nice target demographic.  Add in you telling them your favorite teams, geographic area etc.....

This side should dwarf the subscription size.

Make friends with the jolly green giant.  Over 30% of frozen veggies are purchased on Friday and disposed of over the weekend.  Kinda creepy when he smiles on the package.

I did freak out a bit when you smell the cauterization coming from that area of your body.  

All good though

 

 

Internet was a mess…

Internet was a mess yesterday.  May be premature to think it was a site issue.  I was having outlook issues on and off all day depending on which computer I was using to log in.  

 

Serious question.

Serious question.

Is there a board type site that people actually like how it interacts and loads?

I go to a lot of boards and rarely see a board go very long without a complaint on how the site works.

My nephew was there.  He is 6ft 7 300 lb freshman.  He got a pic with Jim

Difference is in the…

Difference is in the definition of elite.  My kid is a good athlete.  He will be a great but not elite baseball player if he still develops and likes the game.  He is not elite.

Elite athletes can compete in any dimension in sports and do well because of athletic ability not sport specific. 

Good to great at a sport is about reps with intent.  

I started my son in soccer,…

I started my son in soccer, football, basketball and baseball.  Football didn't take nor did basketball.  Kid loves baseball and drags me to practice.  

He is in 7th grade and started swimming.  

If I did it over I would do wrestling.  My son would be much better if he had a more natural aggressive instinct.

For kids teach intent.  In baseball for example tell them to throw as hard and swing as hard as they can.  You cannot turn intent on when you are 15.

I have had terrible service from Fitbit.  Bought a charge 3 for my son and the screen cracked 2nd day.  THey would not replace / repair anything.  THere is a ton of threads online with this.  

It may be an model problem but I was beyond pissed as it is now not waterproof and my son is a swimmer.

If you are going to commit suicide just wait two years until after the policy is issued.  After two years they pay whether it is accidental or suicide.

Yet he has been a momentum killer from his shot selection for a large chunk of the B1G season...........  Did again today

Not quite.  Americans spend 29.1 Billion on lawn care and gardening.  We spend over 1.6 Trillion on defense and military.  This is based on 2015 numbers.  

The real problem is that the average person spends 140 hours a years on lawn care a year vs only 35 hours on sex

 

This will be interesting. …

This will be interesting.  The development of a pitcher and a center is completely opposed to each other.  Bulk will not help with shoulder separation and hip rotation.

Other point of note is that the kid is a walk on and only throws in the low 80's
