  1. Congrats on the books. Thats awesome!!  By chance did you use kindle direct for the book?  I'm in the process of illustrating my own book. I'll be writing too (although I'm struggling with that part) and I'm trying to figure out what ave to pursue for layout and self publishing.

    Watching football for me on Christmas is not a problem as everyone in the family are football fans. Most are Jets fans which leads to some trash talking as I am a Bills fan. So, the game is always on the TV during the holidays.

    Yeah for sure. If my whole family were Bills fans, it would be different for sure. I'm sure we'd all watch and enjoy together.

    The problem is the Christmas games are too secular. They need to call it the Jesus Bowl, have the refs dressed as Magi and have the players jump into a manger after TDs. 

    Nah. Thats being divisive . I'd say it's more about a day that is set aside for my family. Me for instance. I'm not mad it's on. I'm just choosing my family over it (if it comes to it). Someone earlier in the thread said "Boohoo. If you don't like it don't watch". I'm not sure anyone is crying, just stating where priorities are. Not sure why that has to be crapped on.

  4. Well you smell it in cars all over the place already. Guess I'm not surprised. Not that a drive thru means you're more likely to smoke or partake in your car but I'm also not sayin you aren't. Smell of beer on you in a car or out in public and it's public intoxication. Smell of weed on you, in your car or in a store and we're all good. It's a double standard. Not that I'm advocating for public drunkeness either. I just get worried with drinking, texting and now smoking. I've got young drivers in my home. But hey I'm wrong I'm sure and there will be some who will mock me for my concern.  But I've lost two former students to this issue already so how excited should I be?

    The absolute worst talk-show host I have literally (and I mean literally), ever heard.


    The epitome of awful.

    I hate to pile on but I agree. I'll turn it right off.

    "The oldest athlete to participate on a Division I (D1) sports team is believed to be Joe Thomas Sr., who played running back for South Carolina State in 2016 at the age of 55."

    Not if he started college in his 40's or before and wants to do an NCAA D1 sport. From Google AI:

     

    "In NCAA Division I, student-athletes have four seasons of eligibility within a five-year period to compete in a sport, and there is no age limit for playing. 

     

    Here's a more detailed explanation:

     

    Four Seasons in Five Years: The NCAA's rule states that a student-athlete can compete in a sport for a maximum of four seasons, and these four seasons must fall within a period of five calendar years. 

     

    No Age Limit: There is no age restriction for participating in NCAA Division I sports. 

     

    Starting the Clock: The "clock" for the five-year period begins on the first day of classes of a term for which the student-athlete is registered for full-time study at a collegiate institution. 

     

    Exceptions: The NCAA can grant exceptions to these rules in certain circumstances"

     

    [end]

     

    But I think it is ok for NCAA D2 or D3 or NAIA or NJCAA, etc.

    This is mind blowing to me. Idk why. I've got to look up who was the oldest athlete to participate on a D1 sports team. Oh and play in a game. Kind of a fun topic.

    I don't understand the surprise about Steveson's return to college athletics.

     

    1) He competed in a different sport as a professional

    2) Olympic athletes (who are assuredly professional) can return to compete in college sports

    3) Many college athletes (via NIL) are now professional athletes.

     

    On a different subject, Steveson played for the Bills at 5'11" and 266 lbs. He was often listed at 6'1" as a wrestler but the tape measure shows otherwise.

     

    Not that it's the end all by any means but Hendrickson looked taller, longer, and heavier.

     

    And it probably didn't help that Steveson had taken time off from wrestling either.

     

    Wasn't he in the WWE professional "wrestling". My surprise is more along the lines of time away and age. Now I could probably look at that up but.... none of this ever occurred to me. I can't speak for anyone else but that's where my surprise comes from. 

    Can a 50 year old dude just go back to college and wrestle?  Truly I don't know lol. Basically for me this brings up questions I never knew I had.

    How is this guy back in college competing? 

    After being in the WWE and then the NFL. 
    I had a dream that i was in my HS football team. Maybe i still can be. I'll have to look into that.
