Prove me wrong

I mean, if anyone would know about being a gigantic butthole, it would be a Texas fan.

But yes, we are in the running.

No idea, but addiction is certainly a mental illness.

Dude was a mental case. He would have said this no matter which team selected him. His love for the lettuce was also an obsession.

No, he started smoking later in life. I think in an interview he mentioned he is extremely claustrophobic, and didn’t play football until late in life bc the thought of being under a pile gave him panic attacks.

He plays it off as just wanting to get high, but in reality he was very limited at the time due to a chronic high ankle sprain. It’s outside of the joint capsule so there was not going to be typical swelling or talar instability. People thought he was just full of shite about the injury but it was a career killer for many former athletes.

Things like tightrope surgery have helped but you’re still going to have compression forces widening talar dome over time with push-off while running and pivoting from planted foot

With his anxiety and addictive personality, New Orleans was the absolute worst place he could have gone to.

Yes they have the most super bowls, final fours, huge concerts in the butthole of America.

Austin is a hipster village with a capital building.
Take lake travis away and that shite hole would have zero appeal

I'm no Austin fan but Nola is a shithole. It matches the state.

So... HS?

I don't care one way or the other. But, it's also a soft problem. Using weed extensively before or after doesn't better the situation
