    Not in one sitting no bit I used to look up every word as I read books  and I was a prolific reader as a kid.  Used to read the happy Hollister series as a 2nd grader I remember...  Nancy drew and hardy boys as I got bit older then I kinda fell in love with science fiction... ray Bradbury illustrated man was one of the first that intrigued me likely from that story. In the tundra.  Exact details escape me but ended up the kids fed parents to lions when the parents got upset with them spending all time in their tundra hologram. Turned out they made it real somehow.

     

     

    Dang it now I'm gonna have to go find a copy and reread it. 

     

     

    Pretty sure it was the veldt, not the tundra.  Unless those lions took a really wrong turn somewhere...

     

    Actually, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure the title of that story is "The Veldt" !

    All of the national shows are generic commentary. They'll say something like Mahomes is really good, Allen isn't as consistent. The topic de-jour today is ripping Deshaun Watson apart. But none of it is specific to the play calls, the actual reads on plays, drops, offensive line play, etc. 

     

    That's why PFF, PFT, QB Confidential, QB School on Youtube have all given people a new path that didn't exist 5 years ago. Actual tape broken down by real experts, not fans with a microphone. 

     

    This.  I'd much rather spend my free time watching/listening to real football insight than fake-ass media turds.

     

    Another one on YouTube that I've been enjoying is The DB Room with Glover Quin.

    What I mean is actually training in Jiu Jitsu because the probability of getting hurt is high.  

    Agreed, but there's this quote from Tua himself regarding his JJ training: 

     

    "So I mean, with jiu-jitsu, I've been thrown airborne, I've been put in many uncomfortable positions for me to learn how to fall and try to react throughout those positions that I'm getting thrown around in."

     

    So maybe he's not getting choked out, or joint-locked, but sounds like he's being flung through the air which always has the possibility of falling on his head.

    I don’t think he’s learning Jiu Jitsu, I think he’s just learning break falling.

     

    He would be insane training right now.

    Some might consider it insane to play NFL football with his concussion history....
