No way

I heard he was a number one Draft pick from people on the internet, so I know it’s true

I have 4 year old twins and I always try to teach them to slow down and take a look at what is going on around them. Yesterday, we were walking back from the grocery store to the car and they heard a cicada. So I told them we should go on a "hunt" for it. We followed the sound to a small tree and I got them up on my shoulders so they could find it.

They are constantly stopping to look at bugs, birds, clouds, or "fossils" (aka rocks). It takes forever for us to go anywhere, but it's worth it to see them discover the world around them.

I didn’t stab my 18 year old yesterday, so we are both celebrating parenting wins

@nicksjuzunk Any advice for someone who hates working out, but knows it’s good for them? I am riding the struggle bus.

Lots of good advice. Mostly psychological and environmental things. Send me an email. We’ll talk, no charge. My VN username

Bru McCoy wearing jersey 15 this year. Better have that dog in him.

Squirrel wearing 10

Yep...I am a big Majors guy, but this was his most frustrating/infuriating flaw.

I am shocked.

Doesn't instill confidence that the top is cast as a flayed scalp with the brain exposed.

You gotta be confident riding into battle advertising a literal fortune on your head for anyone who can come get it

Stop being such a woman and just go.

Mind over matter. Take a before picture. Get into a routine. Put the scale away and don’t check for “progress” daily. Eventually it will become a routine. Eventually you will notice you feel much better. And you’ll get to the point where if you don’t go for a couple days you’ll be mad at yourself. Where, when you schedule a vacation, you’ll wonder how you can incorporate workouts. You’ll notice people treat you different. Give you more respect etc. It’ll become a way of life.

But mostly, stop being a woman and just go.

That’s the mentality that’s works for us who love to train, but doesn’t last long for a lot people. Is the addiction equivalent of “just stop.”

Not Nick but for me it was to find guys that will show up. If you can't find a trainer or a group workout class.

A good point I heard someone say was to create a routine of showing up to the gym every single day for 2 months even if you don't want to go do it for 5 minutes to walk on the treadmill. This creates a neurological need to be there and will push you to show up more consistently.

It’s a shame he is MIA and pursuing COED volleyball now, according to UK sources

Dang wasted shame

I love new guy jersey numbers day.

Yep. The matching codpiece was just an empty bag hanging there.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Makes sense

You, sir, just opened the More Door!

More Door, that has a good ring to it. You come up with that on short notice, or you been hiding it for the right time? I tried to think of a good pun, but just don't see one that'll work. I've had a couple on the tip of my tongue, but they seem to disappear at the last second. . . it's like I have smog in my head.

 

[volbeast33]

"they" are idiots. You can't set an arbitrary number like that. People believed forever no one could run a mile under 4 minutes, that it was impossible. Now they're saying it's impossible to react under 1/10 second? How about you train your dopey 80 year old man official who DQed Allen to vary his cadence for the gun? Wouldn't that be a lot more fair and logical? What a stupid, stupid rule. They said the guy next to him reacted 3/1000 of a second slower so he was OK, how incredibly asinine and arbitrary is that?! You can't just draw a random line in the sand and say "this is how slow you have to react or else." If the guy next to you can react in 1000/10000 second then how can they say you jumped the gun for 997/10000 second?

I’m not a track guy so I have no idea how big of a deal it is….it’s not the 80 year old guys fault…. It’s a rule that everyone knows and trains with…. You get one fault and are DQ on the second one…if they don’t like the rule then the track organization can change it.

This is a really good idea. Thank you for the genuine advice.

I’ve got equal odds between him mentioning us and the dimwits who will come on here defending and wanting him back.

It just came to me.

Smog. I like. But I hate to hear your puns are draggin'.

He prob will and I won’t even react any type of way. I just dont care at this point.

The fault should be going before the gun. The fact that the rules people said, "we need to implement super sophisticated technology to see how fast athletes react to the gun to make sure they aren't violating our completely arbitrary too fast reaction time instead of varying the gun cadence to prevent people from timing the start" is just so incredibly stupid.

It's entirely possible, and I'd argue likely, that this guy didn't time the start, he just reacted 3/10000 of a second faster than the guy next to him who was declared legal for his start.

You can understand why they don't want to reduce the sport to who can best time the cadence of the gun, right?

In a sport commonly decided by hundredths of a second, why would you make getting a tenth of a second advantage possible via pure luck?

No offense, but I think the track rules committees have thought this one through more than you have.

I don't doubt the research, and I assume the intent is to prevent pure anticipation as opposed to rewarding the speed of the competitors.

But, it's crazy that there is a screen shot where his competitor's feet are just out of the block before he is. So, his feet reaction time was actually slower. Maybe another change comes.
