That's No Moon

I heard they are going to build a 300' dirigible to fly them across the street.

It doesn't cost $20 to park anymore either. Of course they have my money. It's supply and demand and they have something I want. A parking spot.

Abbott Rd is closed now, why are walkways needed?

Yeah, if I'm a team I'm gonna need my own MRI of that knee. Lots of dudes run 40's. Most don't have a knee buckle like that.

Yes, but a 4.9 and a 5.1?

I feel like we've been asking for this player since 1987.

You are correct, but I had the BMI conversation about my other kid who played hockey 6 days a week and had a resting heart rate of 53. He's be sitting in the doctor's office with his shirt off obviously in amazing shape but had to have the talk every year because the height/weight math didn't add up. Whaddya gonna do?

Yeah, I'll try to read that tomorrow as I snap crackle and pop my way out of bed.

And all of that is exactly what I'm trying to avoid with a 15 year old. He was 225 during freshman football. He's still roughly 225 now after throwing shot for indoor, and he's throwing shot for outdoor also. He's a leaner 225 than he was in the fall and he's significantly stronger. He's been able to lift all the way through and not have to cut weight for anything and he's had less wear and tear overall and no injuries. By the fall he will have at least another 10-15 on board and repeat the process. The goal of him being bigger next year than last year, not just churning the same 25 pounds back and forth season to season. The yo-yoing weight isnt good for you anyway, nor are all the things kids do to make weight. You're also talking about a kid who was a state champion swimmer at age 12 who got fat shamed out of the sport by his coach (who is also his high school's coach) because he's not shaped like a traditional swimmer. Fast forward 2.5 years and he's not a chubby little kid anymore and if he were still in the pool he'd be slaughtering people. IMO he doesn't need another sport that's going to start off by immediately putting him on a scale and telling him to weigh less because that is exactly what would happen. Football is great for him and it's why he likes it. In his own words, "At swim I constantly got crap for being big, at football I get praised for it."

I agree with a lot of that but it's unfortunate that it's a winter sport that comes immediately after football and the culture of weight cutting isn't great either. As a mid sized, very strong, lineman, my kid is one of the ones they would want to beef up for football and then immediately try to cut down to wrestle at a lower weight class and also having two consecutive high contact/collision sports is not preferable. As a result, indoor track wins. He throws, can stay the same weight (or grow) without getting crap for it and it gives the kid's body time to recover from the pounding it takes from August to November. It isnt. It's not even in the name and they don't even claim it to be a sport. It's entertainment. It's a show, not a sport.

I don't think anyone is calling with an offer good enough to make this happen.

You can feel however you want. The strength of the team is the offense. It needs to act like it. 30 points a game until it matters most.

If you choose to believe that was the end you go ahead. You're one of the people who probably lays the previous year on Bass as well. They had the ball at midfield with time and couldn't convert. That KC then finished running out the clock in a game they were already winning is irrelevant. The offense needed to score, had time, and field position and didn't. Again. This matters to me because if you asked me which part of the team I had the most faith in I would have said the offense. Hands down. Get them the ball and they can make it happen. Well, this is two years in a row that side of the ball came up short in the biggest moment. My faith has not been justified.

Despite the gnashing of teeth about the defense, once again the offense was on the field at the end of the game in a position to win the game and they did not deliver.

I have a feeling Cole Bishop will be a LB.

I'm not seeing it, but you point out why it's the case and it's why they gave him permission to seek a trade in the first place. They know they aren't going to pay him what he wants, otherwise you don't give him permission to seek a trade.

As soon as they spent all their money and it became obvious they wouldn't and couldn't give Hendrickson a big extension the price for a trade went down.

He will fit right in.

For our team or the other one?

I think Camp Meat opened for Green Day back in '97
