Looks like Bob took Dick Clark’s class on Aging. He looks the same as he did when I was kid watching him in the earl 80s at NBC.

“for me” is one of those lingual ticks that annoys the FUCK out of me. oh really? just for you? i had no idea! i thought you were referring to someone else’s opinions when you said “i don’t like seafood.” and barcelona should cater strictly to your gastronomical desires? gtfo.

You’re not allowed to hit above the shoulders, and not allowed to shoulder tackle, you have to wrap. He could have legally lined him up, but needed to wrap him up and drive him.

Now that some teams officially open camp today, it’s time to talk fucking football.
Something I want to debate for fantasy purposes… Is it sustainable for WRs to average 18+ YPC for 60+ receptions?
Here’s the list from 2011:
Victor Cruz 82 rec 18.7 ypc
Jordy Nelson 68 rec 18.6 ypc
Vincent Jackson 60 rec 18.4 ypc
guys that are close:
Larry Fitzgerald 80 rec 17.6 ypc
Steve Smiff 79 rec 17.6 ypc
Calvin Johnson 96 rec 17.5 ypc

there’s something like 8 or 9 storylines going on at this point. it’s insane.
i’m betting that Terry is controlling the smoke monster and he will use it to stop the coming war and save his friends at the end, sookie will probably think she lost all her powers, but they’ll probably just come back stronger when she really needs them, and everyone else will not advance in anyway.

I think they will take it easy on him at the beginning of the season, but the Bama game is week 3, so who knows. I would guess around 15/game though. There are 2 other RB’s who are decent, but Knile is way ahead of them, and they want him healthy for the end of the year for sure.

The problem is the storyline with this Lilith character and the Authority. Its horrendous. Should have just waded into humans(obama maskers) vs vampire war this season.

I like watching field hockey. I’m least excited to watch basketball and swimming. I’m a huge NBA fan, but after a 7 month season, I have burnout. And never liked swimming. Too many contrived races of varying distance and strokes to up the medal count. Soccer is truly an afterthought. I really couldn’t give a damn. An Olympic gold medal might be the 9th or 10th most prestigious title you can win in that sport. The quality and stakes are too low. Might as well watch NASL.

Michigan running back Fitz Toussaint has been suspended and might miss the season opener against Alabama.
More egregious are the shitty uniforms Adidas designed for Michigan to wear during the game.

I always heard parallel alignment of your knees and hip joints. Also, his knees seem to be pointing out like his feet, which is correct technique. I think how wide your stance is is somewhat subjective.

I was so confused when I saw that. What in the hell was that about?
It involves the worst story arc in pro wrestling history. Mark Henry was in the Nation (of Domination) and they were fueding with DX. The Rock get Chyna (pre-plastic surgery) alone in the ring and was mocking her and suddenly said, “Look at you gawkin at The Rock, you look like you want a kiss…..Mark Henry plant one on her.” At first Henry looks surpised but then starts lickin his lips but DX comes and breaks it up.
After that Henry started calling himself Sexual Chocolate and having all sorts of escapades that included hooking up with a hooker in a bathroom stall only to find out it was a tranny. Finally he (can’t remember how) got together with Mae Young, who was in her 60s at the time and they started “dating”. Then they said Young was pregnant. They were they “filming” at the birth and all that came out was a hand (basically like the arm of a doll). It was beyond terrible. So last night the dude walking around in the suit was supposed to be the hand all grown up.

I admit, I don’t understand the difference between rugby union and rugby league
Major differences are uncontested scrums and little to no rucking. There is some possession counter dealy, but I’m not that familiar with it.
I always heard parallel alignment of your knees and hip joints. Also, his knees seem to be pointing out like his feet, which is correct technique. I think how wide your stance is is somewhat subjective
Squatting below parallel has gotten a negative reputation for some reason, but it’s the natural body position. Look at how a toddler plays. My son constant squats with his butt touching his heels. I think the issue is that the average adult isn’t flexible enough in their hips to go down low enough without getting hurt.
As to the wide stance, despite my joking earlier, it’s actually a powerlifting stance (as opposed to bodybuilding), and it lets you do more weight. A narrow (bodybuilding) stance will focus more effort on the muscles, particularly the quads, for development.
