I think any man over the age of 25 should have it checked every couple years. Male menopause is just as real as the female menopause. Low testosterone wrecks a man's shop, especially in helping keep a beer belly.

Yes. Spurs fan since the mid-80s, pre-David Robinson, around the time I started watching the Bills. I've enjoyed being a Spurs fan through the decades. The early 90s where the Spurs were on the cusp was both exciting and frustrating to watch. Their first title in 1999 was the sweetest of the titles. I was a long time Pirates fan but divorced the team several years ago and haven't looked back. Bob Nutting is the worst owner in all of North American professional sports. I challenge you to find a cheaper, more petty owner than Mr. Nutting.

I'm making three non-exercise equipment suggestions here, especially if you've felt you failed on a diet before: #1. If you have good to great health insurance, you may want to consider enrolling in your health system's weight management center. These centers are usually split into two - medical weight management and bariatrics (surgical weight loss). Medical weight loss, coupled with guidance from a nutritionist and exercise may be the ticket to long term success, especially if you're in your 30s and up. Metabolism and genetics are cruel, unrelenting factors, and eating habits and the urge to eat are very difficult to change. Food is much like alcohol - you can get addicted to it, and addiction is very hard to break, especially in times of stress and boredom. #2. Get your testosterone levels checked. If you are deficient or severely deficient in testosterone, you're not losing that belly fat. Testosterone therapy is expensive BUT it's quite beneficial. The majority of men are deficient in testosterone - you'll have the outliers, but for the majority of us, we're losing it slowly by our late 20s. #3. Sleep apnea is a big problem in overweight men. Fixing that, along with losing the weight, can help a lot.

I'd be very happy with Lloyd or Dean at #25. I like both the linebackers at this spot. Between the two IMO, Lloyd is the better athlete with better size, Dean is the better football player, with more football IQ at this point in the games they've played. I'd pass on the trade. The linebacker unit needs an infusion of talented young players.

I'd argue it's the best of the Die Hard series and one of his (and John McTiernan's) best movies. I think it slightly edges out the first. The action is crisp and you're immersed into the NYC of the mid-1990s. It's loaded with fantastic actors. If they would have used what's known today as the "alternate ending", it would have been the top one by the country mile.

Nakobe Dean was my choice. Bona fide football player and tackling machine. I've read numerous comparisons to a Jessie Tuggle type of linebacker based on his size and play, and that'd be incredible to have.

I was stunned to read that today. I read where people were thinking something was up because he was doing so many straight to DVD films, but I thought he was just going the "hey, it's money" Steven Seagal/Nic Cage route.

I read where they both participate in the "open" part of their relationship. Hers are just more visible because one of those hookups spoke to the press. My personal opinion is that he's in a committed relationship with another man/woman, and has been for some time - something along the lines of Whitney Houston's longtime female lover that no one outside her family knew about until she passed. I think the random hookup women would squeal to the press for their 15 minutes of fame. I don't think it's that unusual - the unusual part to me is how freely they seem to talk about it and draw attention to it.

I think Mike Mayock benefited greatly from a talented research team that supported him when he was a draft analyst. Since that team didn't follow him to the Raiders, he was more or less exposed for the sports broadcaster he is. My favorite draft analyst is Bob McGinn.

Covid ushered in a lot of mandate culture. .Gov and corporate America saw the majority of people want to be team players and will tolerate *a lot* before getting upset about it and doing something about it. The NFL is no different. In a different time, they wouldn't have dared telling owners and teams who they *will* hire. I can't imagine the NAACP of the past being cool whatsoever with the message not said aloud with such a directive.

I am amused a man can physically assault another man and just sit back down in his seat as if nothing happened. No security, no ejection. No escort out to cool down. People got physically removed from school board meetings in this country because they raised their voices or didn't wear a mask.

That's quite a steep bill for one county to lift.

Speaking of writing rules and winning games, virtually everyone in these hearings are millionaires. Jackson's net worth = $23 million dollars. That's astonishing. It's a bougie club and we're all not in it. That ain't just a judge's salary. Brett Kavanaugh is living with us peasants in comparison. At the time of his hearing, his net worth was a "paltry" 1.2 million.

The American public should be screaming from the rooftops "NO MORE STIMULUS" and "DON'T PAUSE THE GAS TAX" but we won't. The idea to hand out fuel cost stimulus is so completely insane you really think they are trying to destroy the US economy on purpose via wildfire inflation. Pausing the gas tax just means the tolls you'll be paying on every single bridge in your state five years from now will be 50% higher than they would have been. States are absolutely aroused at the idea they can toll bridges and corridors in perpetuity.

Interesting question! As a complete aside, I've wondered why head coaches can't wear sharp tailored suits like they used to presuming they'd want to? I recall a number of years ago Jack Del Rio and another coach (Mike Nolan maybe) did for a game, but the suits were made by Nike *just* for that game, so it was a big deal. At the very least, I feel it's an untapped market for companies to sell clothing that's above the frumpy sweatshirt.

For starters, I'd fire that jackass who walks AROUND a person in pain to retrieve a ball. I'd want to know someone didn't run out there to render aid.

I appreciate your post on this. It's very helpful.

3 years for a 32 year old pass rusher? I'm happy that's Raiders money being spent.

Oh that's ok. There's no problem with your discussion poll. It's thorough. Was just adding to the discussion.

For me, this costly invasion is all about: 1) controlling energy into Europe, and eliminating the costly middle man. Ukraine is the pipeline crossroads and it has four nuclear plants, including the largest on the continent. 2) controlling the Black Sea, and its untold billions in gas and oil reserves below it. Turkey found 11 *trillion* cubic feet of natural gas in its part of the Black Sea alone in 2020. 3) doing its part to collapse the petrodollar. I think the larger goal of all of this is to remove the US petrodollar as the primary world currency, which would have devastating effect on the West, especially the US, especially now. If Russia can corner the energy supply and transmission into Europe, it can demand payment in something else besides the dollar. If you get the Saudis, Chinese, Indians, Iranians, Iraqis, etc. to join your bloc, where they will accept other currencies or an entirely different one, the US is in considerable trouble. You ask why Putin didn't do this during Trump? Trump would have flooded the market with US energy, and aggressively threaten oil producers to keep the dollar. Those countries are hedging their bets that Biden will do neither.

Same! I read an article about him that detailed why his appearance changed dramatically - weight loss initiative. My guess is he had a bariatric procedure + healthier eating + a lot more exercise. Probably HgH or HcG/Test too.

He lost it on purpose. I think he's probably going to run for President, and you can't look that fat and unhealthy.

I've always considered this particular blurb in the coverage of stadium negotiations as columnist "poetic license" with the truth to gin up some emotional response from the Bills fanbase. If reporters were fired for not writing factual information with bonafide sources, you wouldn't have read it.

Obama chaos=Trump chaos=Biden chaos. It's all the same. Biden's is just quieter. The similarity is that "middle management" - your DOD, State Dept., CIA, CDC, NIH, feel emboldened in the vacuum to do what they want and that's why there's sooo much inconsistent policy and so much chaos. Not much different from Trump. Or Obama. Or Bush. That's why the last 22 years feel like we just lurch from one crisis to the next, unable to catch our breath.

My impression is that the plaintiffs were looking to score a neat civil suit "pay it to go away" day from Watsin, and once other interested parties got involved with their own selfish reasons, it spiraled out of their control.
