Im sure some sports science nerd knows more than me but dont you tear poo poo a lot when you get yolked as gently caress but dont do a lot of flexibility training and then try explosive movements?

Maybe thats just muscle tears.

Im talking out my rear end btw and legitimately have no idea.

As far as I am aware you cannot do anything to strengthen ligaments. You can do all the flexibility training you want, but your knee and other joints are only able to move so far before ligaments tear. So when you are a pro athlete it becomes really easy to exert enough force to tear ligaments.

Not to mention all the random hits that are part of football

I'm still very much a newbie when it comes to positions, but do you have anyone capable of running with or catching the ball?

Melvin Gordon looks much better this year than he did last year, Hunter Henry is really promising, and I like Tyrrell Williams and Dontrelle Inman.

Rivers is really good about spreading the ball around

He can also catch the ball, look down at it in his hands, and drop it without being touched so the Saints can recover and win the game. He's also poo poo on punt returns and looks afraid to actually catch the ball.

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?

I read the article to find out what the gently caress could cause an addiction to hair plugs, and came away with nothing. do they fall out like normal hair and need replacement? did he keep wanting to make it thicker? did he have to get more put in on the top of his head as his natural hairline continued to recede (although he only mentions the front of his head in that article)? does it feel good? do they give you baller painkillers? did he keep getting the old ones removed and the latest models put in, like with an iMac telephone? what constitutes an addiction? how many did he have??

they spend like two or three paragraphs talking about lexapro, as if depression is some utterly foreign and unknown ailment that needs explanation, but don't at all talk about the hair plugs. what a garbage article. also, Joe Buck is poo poo.

There are people who are basically addicted to plastic surgery. Sometimes they are in search of the perfect body part (jawline, rear end, calves, etc.) and sometimes they are looking for an overall perfect body so they get surgery everywhere. Sounds like Buck was obsessed with his hairline and even if it appeared normal to us, he saw that it could be better and sought out that surgery. I hate to attach a diagnosis from afar, but it sounds like some type of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. The flaw can be real or imagined and the person goes to great lengths to "fix" it, which on the surface sounds like what was happening with Joe Buck.

Counterpint. If a man is desperate enough for hair to undergo nine procedures to obtain it, he probably isn't going to get rid of any of the hair he can actually grow.

An interesting little nugget from Albert Breer: http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/10/06/kyle-shanahan-nfl-coaching-carousel-list-notebook

quote:

The NFL’s ratings decline merits watching. It’s hard to deny that the league has something to worry about with TV ratings declining significantly in all the primetime windows.

...

So how concerned is the NFL? Well, something interesting is happening. We’ve obtained a memo that went out to all 32 teams that reflected that, starting Oct. 12, clubs are subject to a new fine schedule for exceeding the limits on video and any moving content. Those are particularly strict during the 60 minutes leading up to games, and through games, with clubs largely limited to re-posting from the NFL’s own accounts (with some allowance for approved content on Snapchat). The memo says that first time offenders will be fined up to $25,000, a second offense will warrant a fine of up to $50,000, and a third offense will merit a fine of up to $100,000 and loss of rights to post league controlled content.

The NFL thinks its ratings are declining because people are sharing too many video clips and *.gifs outside of game time. The NFL is loving stupid as poo poo.

I highly doubt thats the only thing they think is causing ratings declines. But its one of the things that they can actively target (not like they can force people to sit infront of TVs to watch their games)

Well, sure, I doubt they think it's the sole factor, but it's stupid to even think it's a contributing factor. Who the gently caress watches a *.gif before gametime and decides "ah, got my football content. No need to tune into a live game now!"

WHOOPS
Nov 6, 2009
I'd be shocked if it's causing a decline in ratings at all - .gifs and short video clips are free marketing that they clamp down on because reasons.

A bigger contributor is probably illegal streams because the NFL has locked out-of-market access behind a pay TV business that fewer and fewer people justify spending money on. The NFL is incredibly tone deaf on this sort of poo poo and it's starting to catch up to them.

Football is amazing despite the best efforts of the NFL to ruin it. So loving off the point.
