Gragson returning to front row 4 next year. So uninspiring.


I really don't get Gragson. Does he have money behind him?

Firing an AR inside, especially in a hallway is brutal. It will fry your ear, not just hearing loss later in life. I was in a shooting bay and forgot to pull my ear pro down. One shot gave me permanent tinnitus in my left ear. It's not fun.

MCT oil daily, or exogenous ketones.
Resistance training, emphasis on legs.
Considering the potential nominees this next cycle, this is only a hypothetical.

I have had C-6, C-7 fused. It really helped almost immediately with the hand numbness. The pain took a while to resolve. The problem is the load transference to the other discs after fusion. Is disc replacement out?

If they run twice at COTA, I hope they run another variation of the track. COTA has multiple layouts.
Legal Rules on Pardons and the Fifth Amendment
Removal of Jeopardy: A full and unconditional pardon removes criminal liability, meaning answers cannot legally incriminate you for the pardoned act.
Compelled Testimony: Without the threat of self-incrimination, courts can legally compel you to answer questions or testify about the events.

So question to those that watch the LPGA… is it like the WNBA in that the best in the world still struggle with basic skills? Like some of them still struggle to make layups and their jumpers might be broken

I don’t want to just automatically compare her consistent to a male player’s consistent


No, It's actually a more nuanced game in some respects. The field is nowhere near as deep as a men's field though. After the top 30, the skill level falls off quickly.

Nelly and the top women golfers are extremely talented. They have to play a different game, sometimes with more touch because they can't spin it like the men inside of 150. From 220-170, they use hybrids and long irons while the men are hitting 6 and 7 iron 200+. It's not just driver distance.

I would say greenside and putting they are pretty close.

Her driver stock yardage is 252 carry. I don't think comparing men and women in golf is a good thing. They play a different game.

She's an awesome golfer, I wish I had her fluid swing. I'm a huge fan. That being said, It's 2 different games with the distances. It's not a talent thing, It's a strength thing.

I have a half brother in law doing life. He says he's innocent too.
He is incredible off the tee. Sets his whole game off that. Seldom in trouble. When he gets in trouble, he handles it well.

Ben Kohles is as talented but he lets things rattle him. Koivun is ice.

Yes, there is a point in life where we cannot add muscle and what we have at that point needs to last us the rest of their life but research has started to prove that a higher V02 max is tied more directly to a longer and healthier life than muscle mass.

I think both are definitely important and for myself, I usually heavily prioritize cardio in the summer, fall and early winter and then once the time changes and it gets colder (and closer to ski season) more prioritize strength training.


I respectfully disagree with this. I'm 58 and have put on a significant amount of muscle. Your quads are your fatburners. Resistance training increases the size of your fatburners.

VO2 max while good, isn't living up to the claims of being the elixer of long life, muscle mass is. Besides a high VO2 max with muscle mass is the most healthy. Muscle assists your heart moving blood through your body, your calves are called your "second heart" for a reason.
BPC-157 is being given as an adjunct by some local orthos to enhance healing time of the injury, post op. It aint going to fix anything major, it will enhance healing and tissue regeneration. Not a magic bullet to heal anything that can't heal.

It has worked well on elbow tendonitis with me, and has somewhat helped with a torn rotator cuff I have. It didn't " heal" the cuff, but it has helped around it.

It doesnt seem to help arthritic type injuries except any soft tissue around it. It doesn't do much if anything for cartilage growth. Where it really helps is increasing the rate of tendon repair especially microtears. The closer to the muscle the tendon injury is, the better it works. basically it shortens the time of healing, but can't heal unhealable injuries.

IM injections in the muscle as close to the tendon as possible works really well. I think that's why it works so well on elbow tendonitis/tendonosis. It's easy to hit the spot. The elbow is much more simple and accessible than a shoulder or knee.
No lie, we knew a guy and casually hung out with him because we were all race fans (all of them, F1, Indy, Nascar, T/A, Endurance, basically anything with 4 wheels and raced,) SEC football fans, Golf Majors fans etc.

There was a local sportsbar that we would go to to watch, flirt with the waitresses etc. It was just our hangout. We were in low to mid 20's, single and free as birds. Having the time of our lives. On a whim, we would drive all night, watch the Daytona 500 from the infield, drive home, go to work and play 9 holes with almost no sleep. That kind of life.

We were basically just starting to earn money except one dude that was loaded. Dr. Smith we will call him but that's not his name. He had money, he was a doctor after all. For a couple years we hung out with "Dr, Smith".

He could pull some serious female companionship, we did ok, but he was always doing it. He was a young doctor after all. He would wear his scrubs to the joint and join in the fun.

Well, I don't remember how it fell apart but this guy was a trust fund kid living in Pensacola in his parent's condo. Not a doctor. He called us all together to have an apology. We looked at him, he looked at us, then we all started cracking up, made him start buying first round all the time. We didn't care, it was hilarious.

Come to find out, trust fund kids pull just as much as doctors....

It’s easier to do when it’s on Prime. TV makes it harder.
Planet Fitness. The one I go to is huge and has plenty of free weights along with massage chairs, hydromassage, cryotherapy, red light therapy. The only thing it's missing is a sauna.
Sauna alongside redlight therapy at the proper wavelengths is the bomb.
