  1. Was his girlfriend pregnant and he just felt bad not eating with her when she got cravings? 🤣
  2. Aaron Rodgers performance in the playoffs is the problem and has been other than his one SB win.
  3. Sometimes it's the player wanting to wait to avoid all the offseason activities as much as possible. Especially with long standing vets who won't need much time to be ready to play.
  4. Herbert hasn't made the playoffs yet and seemingly played down instead of up when the situations got tough. Allen holds the best QB rating in postseason history and has 5 of his 6 games with 250+ yards passing and 50+ yards rushing. The next closest player to him has 3. All this to say when the chips are down Allen is a beast and plays his best and Herbert doesn't.
  5. Offensive linemen aren't going to look good...they have to artificially eat tons of calories to pack on weight and the body isn't going to pack that on as muscle
  6. That makes sense...rookies always report a week early.
  7. I'm not either...never seen anyone turn returns into that much of an adventure by running full speed into your own blockers like he did almost every kick return.
  8. Shakir has potential to be an outside WR and McKenzie played outside his first year with Allen and was the leading receiver. They will be fine in a pinch.
  9. The recommended daily dose of D3 from the AMA and FDA will leave most people either insufficient or barely sufficient especially in the winter time or if you use sunscreen a lot in the summer or don't go outside a lot. I take 10000 IUs all year round and my numbers are in the 60s usually, which some will claim could go even higher into the 70s or 80s to be considered optimal but I prefer to stay in the more conservative optimal range. K2 and D3 work exceptionally well together as does Magnesium(especially Magnesium Oil which absorbs transdermally). In addition to needing it for calcium related functions, the body uses Magnesium as a catalyst for over 500 enzyme functions so it's extremely important to not be deficient in this. It also plays a large role in heart health as well.
  10. For a young athlete training hard with a likely great hormonal profile, it's not unrealistic to gain somewhere between 1-1.5 lbs of muscle a month. They have the best of everything. They can rest optimally between training sessions, take naps, get the best treatments, food, etc... For normal people that is likely capped around 0.5-1lb a month and even that is unlikely since it's near impossible to have a job, have a family and still be able to do things optimally. 17 lbs is completely not happening unless it's a lot of fat or from PEDs. Also depends on what you take in terms of steroid in terms of water retention. The ones that will aromatize to estrogen in the body like testosterone for sure will give you "moon face"(aka water retention). Anadrol and D-Bol are also famous for water retention as they are DHT based. Tren, Anavar and Winstrol will definitely not cause fluid retention, they actually help you dry out.
  11. Media members are starting to get in on the hype... A TB reporter? lists Allen second only to Aaron Donald on his Top 100 players list. https://mobile.twitter.com/StevenCheah/status/1546129313396924417
  12. Honestly I don't see him winning it. Probably should have won it in 2020 when the Bills went 13-3. Now if they finish with a great record it will basically be expected because the roster is routinely thought of as the best in the NFL by lots of pundits. And if the struggle or finish 11-6 like last year it will be viewed as a disappointment. I think he would probably have to be head and shoulders above other teams record wise to get it, maybe like 15-2.
  13. Crowder has always given the Bills fits even when the Jets were terrible. Very excited to see what he brings.
  14. 17 lbs in an offseason is very tough even for elite athletes that have all the best in terms of training, diet, sleep, sports science etc...7 lbs is definitely possible with all that. 17 over 2 years is definitely achievable and sounds about right.
  15. Not K...K2. K is a totally different vitamin that deals with blood clotting. K2 usually comes from fermented foods like natto, sauerkraut, and animal meat/fat that when they have been eating grass and are exposed to sunshine (which is why our diets are so deficient in this now...most animals we consume never see the light of day). Humans always think they can shortcut nature but typically they do so at their own peril because they don't fully understand how things work in harmony with each other...animals eat grass, then convert the chlorophyll into K2 with the help of sunshine. No grass, no sunshine, no K2. This was actually found by a dentist in the 1930s Dr. Weston Price from Cleveland who was determined to find out why people he treated from foreign countries had far better teeth than his usual patients who live in the US. Travelled all over the world, focusing on indiginous peoples and saw that many places had people with perfect teeth that never brushed or flossed and called the nutrient that is now known as Vitamin K2, Activator-X. https://radiantlifecatalog.com/blog/bid/59999/The-Mystery-of-X-Factor-Butter-Oil-and-Vitamin-K2-Solved Yeah, pretty much everyone who lives north of a line that runs from DC to Saint Louis is going to be deficient in vitamin D if they don't supplement...especially in the winter time. It's a huge problem. So...your levels are in the mid 30s after taking D3? That still is really low...barely sufficient. With these tests that have "normal levels" with such wide ranges, being near the bottom of normal is still not ideal. Optimum levels would be in the 60s or 70s. One other thing the medical community largely doesn't get... There is a large difference between having a test showing "normal" levels of soemthing versus having optimal levels.
  16. Yeah it's scary because the medical community have largely created the problem your brother died from due to their misunderstanding of osteoporosis. Calcium started being added to tons of food and drink items and when it was learned that lack of calcium is NOT the cause of osteoporosis, they never reversed course and stopped it. So basically, people are getting 5-6x the amount of calcium they should be getting from an early age, which is why atherosclerosis (arterial calcification) is the #1 reason of the #1 killer in the US(heart attacks). Decalcification is one of the most important things a person could do for their health through a combination of D3, Magnesium and K2, each of which is vital to dealing with calcium in the body. D3 liquifies it into the bloodstream and allows it to be transported. Magnesium is required for the magnesium-calcium ion pump that exchanges calcium for magnesium in the soft tissue. K2 is exceptionally important as it activates at least 18 calcium binding proteins that transport calcium from places where it shouldn't be such as soft tissue and arteries to where it should be such as bone. The heart actually has a protein called Matrix GLA Protein (MGP) which actively inhibits and removes calcium from the arterial walls when it is activated(which, like all other calcium binding proteins, is activated by K2). It is a shame this isn't more well known and people end up paying the consequences of our medical associations failings in acknowledging their failures both in preventing osteoporosis and greatly contributing to atherosclerosis.
  17. Yeah...you can do as much as possible to reduce your risks for many things, but at the end of the day you can only reduce it but so much. If you are predisposed to heart issues, you might be able to reduce it from a 50% chance to a 25% chance but you'll still be at a higher risk relative to a person who has no predisposition to them.
  18. Sounds like accupuncture...or acrid...or acrimonious
  19. I thought nothing could be worse than Highmark I was wrong.
  20. I don't think people would go for that. I haven't been to the Italian Festival since they moved it from Hertel to Canalside and started charging people admission. Bad enough you are paying outrageous prices for food already, now they want to charge you money for the pleasure of being willingly ripped off?
  21. The USFL set offensive football back 30 years. OMG those games were brutal to watch offensively. Games were like 13-10, 17-13, etc... The QB play was really bad most times also...literally reminded me of watching "bad Tyrod" where he would struggle to complete a pass or get first downs most of the game. They are going to have to do something about that and if they can't due to lack of talent, make rule changes that encourage more offense.
  22. Have been going for quite some time. Usually late Sunday is the best time to go because the crowds are typically smaller. Not this year...holy crap was that place packed! Have never seen lines that long at some places...to the point I skipped some I wanted to go to because I thought I'd be stuck waiting too long and not get to everything before they closed at 6(got there around 3:30). They also ran out of maps around 1pm which I have never seen happen before. Would not be surprised if there was record attendance this year. I asked the person working there and he says it was the most crowded he has seen in the last 20 years
