My mom passed away tonight. She finally submitted to dementia. I’m almost 48 years old and somehow I just feel like a sad kid inside.

Sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss……my mom has stage 4 cancer and honestly, it’s just a waiting game right now.

Praying for you and your family. Rest easy knowing God’s by your side, and she’s next to Him.

Peay, so sorry you are going through this. It’s so hard to see the ones you love suffer. Prayers for peace and comfort for your mom, you, and your family.

That's three guys counting the guy at USC. It is very surprising that 3 is by far the FEWEST players who have done this since the NCAA passed its new redshirting rule in 2018. It has nothing to do with NIL. The media and NCAA are lying or deliberately misleading you.

Remember ole Saban deliberately burning redshirts of players he thought would transfer? Ole "Joel Osteen Jr" at Clemson actually told the media braggingly that he would deliberately burn a kid's redshirt if he thought he was going to transfer, but there was no need because the player was staying. Oh, how funny! the media reported. There wasn't this big negative media push about it. In fact, most of sports media bragged about how great the rule was. A lot of players have asked not to play beyond 4 games since 2018.

But now you have a guy who doesn't want his redshirt burned against his will, and the media immediately frames the issue in a way to stoke maximum outrage before anyone knows the details of what actually happened. And before the day is out, we see that the NCAA is trying use "outrage" about this in order to get its power back and restore its tyranny of criminality.

Meanwhile, UNLV has violated NIL rules by having an assistant coach promise NIL, reportedly, and... crickets. Even worse, UNLV makes the excuse that an assistant coach doling out NIL didn't matter because word would have had to have come illegally from the head coach (!) to the player or agent. Suddenly the NCAA doesn't care.

All the NCAA wants is for people to believe that this issue has not been going on for 6 years, that it is a direct result of NIL, and that the only solution "to save football" is for the NCAA to seize control of NIL, which is working fine in the free market.

Meanwhile the NCAA is still deliberately covering up for Michigan. They have still not said what was on those Michigan computers and why the FBI was involved.

Finally, if there does turn out to be a problem here of some sort, the market will "bake that in" to future NIL dealings. The gigantic amount that is owed to players for back years is exclusively the NCAA's doing. The NCAA buried their head in the sand about the NIL issue for a decade.

This needs to be posted everywhere.

@butchna

Plenty of individuals going nuts over this Mets vs Braves DH scheduled for Monday. I can't see any other way to make the games up.

Who's the best OT we've had in that time? James or Wright?

This actually has 2 different answers to me. For whole career...definitely James, but for 1 season...definitely Wright.

Can't believe this statement. After all, you're not an expert


Maximum Appeal to Authority, mixed with a maximum of Courtier's Reply. Kudos! 1 + 1 = 2 is something I only believe when coming out of a mathematicians mouth afterall.

I am a mathematician so 1+1 does in fact equal 2. As far as Courtier is concerned, I don't put much stock in credentials either, it is not the same thing as talent or expertise.

Speaking of gyms and ppl sucking…

Do all gyms have that “one guy”? You all know the guy I’m referring to…

I’m just minding my own business…got my headphones on…pushing through the day’s training…

All the sudden, that “one guy”…”UHHHH. UHHHH. UHHHH.” As he does his reps…slams weights down when he’s through his set…then proceeds to strut around like he’s done something…like, why not just come in wearing neon bright gym clothes so everyone can make sure and see him…THAT “one guy”? Oh…and he’s a little skinny dude too…

Do all gyms have that guy? Sheesh.

Leave @nicksjuzunk alone! What did he ever do to you, huh?

Calories consumed is not necessarily the same as calories absorbed. And calories leave the body in ways other than burning. If you store fat due to insulin dominance, keto is magic. When the hormonal issues get fixed, you start shedding extra calories as unburnt ketones and likely fat in feces, and losing weight far faster than could be accounted for by caloric deficit.

I love the argument:

“It’s a shame these kids aren’t getting the full amounts of their promised NIL dollars. So you should definitely give us back the power to punish them for getting any NIL dollars.”

Self serving statement.

 

[Glitch]

 Yes

At my gum they stand around taking selfies in the bathroom mirrors after their muscle pump. It's hard to change and take a piss without photo bombing them.

Sounds like a sticky situation.

If I remember correctly some of this fan base said that CJH wouldn't succeed in SEC. I bet they feel kinda small right now.

How about the ones who wanted Banks and Martinez fired. They'll say they never said that now but I'm sure those that keep receipts will call them out.

 

[COOKEVOL]

Whelp, had a great night last night because I got to spend time with my daughter, which is a rarity given my work schedules. We got home at 10 and I discovered a leak under the house, so I get to wait around for a plumber. The cosmic scales have been balanced. Smh.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Yep. And adding lemon to water helps too

Are you a savage or a peasant?



Put lime in your water.

I lost 75lbs about 25 years ago. I rarely do strict keto since then, but have greatly reduced carbs overall. When strict, I can't eat enough to gain, and always lose. The "calories in must be less than calories burnt" mentality is completely contrary to my experience.

I have known others who were not as successful on keto, but I'm sure it comes down to hormones. For those (like me) who are insulin dominant, keto just works. For those who aren't, it isn't nearly as helpful.

Agreed...that has been my experience as well. I tell people to try Keto and see how it works for them, if you are doing it right and are not losing weight...try something else, because your chemistry is just not made for it.

But I know a lot of folks that "say" they tried Keto and did it right, and after talking to them you find out they were eating a lot of that "Keto freindly" garbage on store shelves.

I try to cut carbs to the bone...and I don't eat any of that "Keto friendly" crap.

Happy Thursday. Hope everyone is safe from the storms.


September 26, 2024: I am taking you in a direction that seems unfamiliar and strange at times, so you must pay attention and not leap ahead before you are sure of where you are going. You will be dealing with situations that seem to be beyond your ability to deal with, but trust God to lead and direct your steps. Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.

I’m sorry to see that. Prayers for your family’s peace and comfort.
