In other conversations, people criticize athletes “all they care about is the money.”  Here is player who wants to win football games and knows that isn’t going to happen in Miami.

Santa Clara took that contract and Painted in Black.

Having three kids is a challenge.  Getting out of the house away from your three kids is an even bigger challenge.

I was initially skeptical but the dude basically admitted in writing to jerking off on to her back and then apologized to her later and asked her to come back.  I mean that’s pretty damning.

Yes. Any arguments of cheap beer are silly in my mind. If you like beer, drink good beer. If you want to get shitfaced, drink whiskey, schnapps, vodka, etc. If you want to sip a lo-calorie drink at a party, mix cheap rum with diet coke or get a gin and tonic or something.  There’s lots of cheap ways to get fucked up…

Do people really lose that much flexibility or strength between 17 and…

I find gymnastics amazing to watch.  What these athletes are able to do is almost super human. Then you realize, pretty quickly, that you are looking at children - any sport where you are “burnt out” or “too old at 19 is essentially child abuse.

I think this makes sense for someone like Elliott but I don’t know the Player’s Association would agree. The agents (who strongly influence the PA) want guaranteed money and/or they want big signing bonuses - they want to detach performance from compensation. This way, once the agent gets a player signed, the agent…

You had me at Toblerones.

So, what was the outcome?  Did the patient live to see Europe?
