We used to have William F. Buckley, Jr debating Noam Chomsky.

Our discourse has diminished to “Hildabeast v. Drumpf”

I fucking hate people, sometimes…

Partisan? Both Bern and Hildabeast are the planet saving all emoting free shit emails ain’t no thang democrats!

Sanders and Clinton are farther apart in their core beliefs than Clinton and Trump are.

I just don’t want to live in the Holy Christian Fascist Caliphate that substitutes for what was the USA.

Yeah, that’s my worry too. A fascist theocracy.

Where they divert funds from the NSF to the Ark Encounter theme park.

I generally agree, but I am disappointed in Tavon’ lack of production on punt returns this year. I was hoping for a better year on special teams.

It’s true that he doesn’t have the production, but on the other hand, whenever he takes the field as a PR, he’s a threat. So in the meanwhile, that’s fine with me.

And that might not be strictly on Tavon. Maybe the blocking on the returns isn’t as good as it used to be or maybe opposing punters are doing a better job of kicking away from him, etc.

What bugs me about Tavon is all the fair catches around the 5 yard line.

My fear is the Rams will become the Clippers to the Chargers’ Lakers.

A lot of good that will do. That clueless old coot is releasing it in Betamax.

The only exercise I get is when I walk the dogs or go birding…neither of which would qualify as aerobic exercise. I just can’t stand doing those repetitive movements on an elliptical or other exercise machines. I like getting out in the woods and hiking but I’m not motivated enough to do it regularly enough to make a difference.

Betamax is primed for a big comeback. And guess who will be laughing then.

The only exercised I like is playing something. Raquetball is fantastic, but I don’t have a club membership, and nobody to play with. But I can’t stand Exercising. My brain has to be doing something, or I get bored. Hiking is good, but…yeah. Ya gotta carve out a day for that. I went hiking in Yosemite over the weekend, and it was a joy…but I could only wish I was in better shape.

Start with walking. I get my best thinking and planning accomplished while walking. Dedicate a set time then over time see if you can pick up the pace to increase the distance walked in the time allotted. Get good walking shoes too.

That’s good advice, thanks. I used to walk briskly when walking the dog, but the female is over 12 years old now and has a degenerative spinal condition so I don’t want to push her. She gets tired when we just do our typical 20 minute stroll around the neighborhood.

We also have a 10 month old pup. Of course he could handle it if we picked up the pace but that would only work if I walked him without the female. I could do that but the dogs are like children. If one can’t do what the other one is doing at that moment there is all kinds of drama.

See there what I’m doing? Already erecting roadblocks. Being lazy is a lot of work. 🙂

I exercise regularly. Didn’t always. But, I had to lose weight. I’ve lost more than a quarter of my body weight (60 pounds). I did it because of my cholesterol. And, I just kept at it. I’ve done lots of different stuff, but mostly I’m doing yoga and resistance training … a lot of pushups, mostly. Strength training is great. I don’t do a lot of squats, tough, because my knees are creaky, too. I’m 46 years old, btw. But, I’m in way better shape than I’ve been since my 20s.

I had to build my way up, but I do lots of pushups. I can do 54 at one time. But, mostly I do different kinds of pushups, and several series of them. This morning, I figure that I did between 300 and 400 pushups plus other exercises with a resistance band. Then, I put on some ankle weights, laid down and did some leg exercises. That was over an hour’s worth of work.

But, I can only do that type of workout about twice a week. I do a lot of yoga because it’s great for flexibility and adds strength. Check out this one lady, Yoga with Adrienne, on Youtube. I follow her yoga workouts, and some of them can be really challenging. A 21-minute core workout will tear you up. Or, you can go with a lighter workout that helps mostly with flexibility. Or, anywhere in between.

The great thing about these workouts is that I don’t have to go anywhere to do them, so there’s no excuse not to do them.

Wow, great job!

I wish I could get motivated to exercise. I’m heavier now than at any point in my life. But I just hate it so much.

So much.

Fisher: New York style pizza is SO much better than Chicago deep dish.

Williams: Don’t f’n piss me off! Don’t, ok?!

Fisher: See, the thin crust of the New York style doesn’t overwhelm the flavors of the toppings and sauce.

Williams: Last warning – don’t push it!

Good game for Goff.

I’ve blanked out everything else from my memory to save what’s left of my sanity.

That does sound like a lot of speculation. However, the move for Bradford and what they gave up for him then the sudden walkaway by Turner starts to add a little credence to the story.

If I’m a well respected OC and been doing this for a long time and then the HC goes and brings in another OC and says publicly he doesn’t know what title he has but he’ll figure it out…sends a shot over my bow I would think.

Yeah, I agree. Regardless I hope the Rams hire Turner this offseason.

Yeah, despite what happened in Minn I’d love to have Norv as the Rams’ OC. He has coordinated many good offenses including that Rams offense of the mid to late 80s with Everett, Ellard, Flipper, etc,

Actually Ernie Zampese was the OC. Turner was the WR coach and offensive assistant.
