So many teams doing the right thing by making retro redesigns to their permanent kits


Atlanta Falcons: Confirmed a full redesign for April 2026, which is expected to be a heckin' classy throwback-inspired look featuring silver trousers and red helmets.

Washington Commanders: Rumoured to be making their "Super Bowl Era" throwbacks their permanent home/away look, potentially bringing back the spear logo.

Tennessee Titans: Rumours suggest a shift closer to the classic Oilers colour scheme and design.

Baltimore Ravens: Filed for changes that may include updated logos and "minor tweaks" to their primary kits.

Los Angeles Rams: Expected to update their look, possibly following Nike’s new "Rivalries" template.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Significant buzz suggests they may finally move their "Prowler" throwback kits to full-time status.

Cant we have something in the middle?

Something like 5 years to play 4, sitting out a year if you transfer within the same division, while being paid for doing promotional work on the side? Signing autographs, being in a commercial for a local business, or maybe a national brand like the Dr. Pepper Fansville commercials. Yeah, that would be great.

Entering my second busy season at a CPA firm, going out to audit clients during the day until they kicked us out, then driving back to the firm to have dinner that they provided and working late into the night, just to get up and do it all over again until May.

Yep. It isn't like any other Saturday during football season by the time you get to the middle of January. Sunday and Monday nights have always been high ratings nights for TV. Friday nights, not so much.

for those drinking lots of coffee....please make sure it is filtered and not french press. very important for overall health

you can google studies on filtered vs unfiltered coffee and the effects on all cause mortality.

---

The only time I do French press is when we're on a camping trip. The troop has a couple of percolators, but there always are a bunch of grounds in there. I've got a little Stanley french press for camping. The filter screen at least keeps the grounds in the bottom and they don't end up in your cup.

And you didn't even Landry on your list.

Knew I was probably missing one or two. Was trying to think of coaches with multiple rings off the top of my head. I might have missed on some on that list, that might just have one.

This year that would have produced:

round of 16 - December 6
Round of 8 - December 13
Semi-Finals - December 20
Finals - NYD

This would also solve a lot of the bullshite with the portal calendar and coaches leaving programs during the playoffs.

If they end up moving to 16 teams, it also solves the issue of all the teams with a bye losing after having 20+ days off.

Several years ago, we had a really bad flea year in Alabama. At the time we had a couple of dogs and one cat. I tried bug bombs in the basement where the dog beds were. The kind for bed bugs was recommended to me for fleas. I learned way too much about the flea life cycle. I think from egg laying to hatching was something like 14-21 days, and even if you had killed all the living fleas, the ones that hatch would get nutrients from the dead fleas bodies, so you had to vacuum constantly. I tried Diatomaceous earth spread all through the basement next. That seemed to help. What finally got rid of them was our pest control company spraying something meant only for outdoor use down there. Dude made me promise no humans or pets enter the basement for a week and he'd knock them out.

Since then, I have started doing my own pest control, and use Bifen in the yard, around the deck, hitting all the windows and doors both inside and out, and along the perimeter of the basement. Every 3-4 weeks when the weather starts getting warm, and we no longer have issues with fleas, ants, roaches etc.

7-8 hours of sleep, if you're not sleeping well, consider having a sleep study done for apnea. I had one done about 10 years ago, ended up having the UPPP surgery as well as a tonsillectomy. Opened up my airway, since I loathed the CPAP.

If you're a coffee drinker, try having it black and no added sugar or creamer. And limit it to 1-2 cups. I mostly skip breakfast before work, and have a protein bar around 9:30 or 10:00. Don't go heavy on carbs or fats at lunch.

The best thing though, is go for about a 15 minute walk a couple of times during the day. I do this while eating my protein bar, and again about an hour after lunch and have some green tea. Circulation and a little caffeine or nutrients does wonders.

JJ, Logan (non-tabata), and Adrian are my go-to’s.

I mistakenly took one of Logan's tabata strength classes once. Just picked some arms/shoulders 20 or 30 minute class, and it was awful. I get the idea behind it, but hated every minute of it. Ben Alldis has some decent strength classes too. If you don't mind hearing the same songs every time.

A lot of places get around this by having a $1 popcorn bowl or pretzels kind of bar snacks that you have to get with the drinks

I'll have to ask her and see if she remembers, but I think it was some limited appetizer menu, and maybe sandwiches/burgers were the only options at the pool. What I do remember is her texting me pictures of this lady sporting a bright red thong by the pool making out with her man, and at first I missed that, because I thought it was just PDA, but then she pointed out the cheeks to me.
