  1. Greenway should help in a lot of situations...I've always really like his game.
  2. Dodgers may be the better team on paper, but they sure as hell don't look like it. Jays have been the better team on the field through 4 games.
  3. He already had multiple chances and the only time he did well was when he had to fight for something. When he was made "the guy", his play fell off a cliff and it looked like he was unprepared, unfocused and was not mentally sharp.
  4. Firing squad? Concrete Shoes offshore of the Erie Basin Marina late one night? Kidnap him and move him to a safe house where nobody will ever find him? Banish him to Siberia? In all seriousness, dump him for whatever you can get.
  5. Yeah, Downtown PartyTown bumping the beats pre-game!! REminds me of listening to Energy 108 coming live from Guvernment
  6. there is NO level of mercury that is safe for your body. And trust me you don't want to have mercury overload...it's often called the "Great Imitator" because it can mimic many other issues like MS, various autoimmune diseases, etc.. I actually had that due to a mouthful of old metal fillings that have mercury in them that were cracked and "leaking" mercury every time I took a bite of food. Got them all out via a holistic dentist, had to undergo a lengthy chelation process to get rid of the mercury stores in my body and am feeling pretty great now still about 15 years after all of that. With fish, the main problems are the larger fish that eat smaller fish that eat smaller fish, etc...that causes a bio-accumulation of mercury in the large fish, like tuna who gets all the mercury from the other fish. Tuna is OK once a week or so, but other smaller fish like chub mackerel(not king which is among the highest for all fish), sardines or salmon are safer to eat.
  7. there actually are studies that show just that actually... A review found that youth who specialize most (i.e., focus on one sport, train > 8 months/year or quit other sports) were 81% more likely to experience an overuse injury than those who played many sports. https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/healthandwellness/665293/sport-specialization-tied-to-increased-risk-of-injury-in-kids-and-teens/story/ One large prospective study found that sport specialization was associated with increased risk of injury in girls (hazard ratio ≈ 1.31) and that total hours/week of vigorous activity was a strong predictor of injury in both sexes. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31555716/ In a case-control study of ~1,190 athletes aged 7-18, specialized single-sport athletes in individual sports had higher rates of overuse injury (44.3% vs 32.2%) and “serious overuse injuries” (23.4% vs 11.6%) compared to non-specialized athletes. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28351225/ In a review of youth sport specialization, risk factors such as playing >1 organized team, competing year-round, participating more hours/week than one’s age in years, and high degree of specialization were consistently found to increase risk of overuse injuries and lower-extremity pain. https://meridian.allenpress.com/jat/article/54/10/1040/420868/Health-Consequences-of-Youth-Sport-Specialization Some organizations note that kids who play the same sport year-round — especially without a break/alternate sport season — face more repetitive motions and stress on bones, tendons, growth plates, etc. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/sports-injuries/youth-sport-specialization
  8. just looked and Ruff said not this weekend, so possibly Tuesday? Oh 100% on that system built to monetize youth sports. Gotta sell the dream to the rich parents that have a kid who has 0 chance to ever make it athletically that if he trains year round, he will somehow become more talented above what his ceiling is.
  9. I agree with this, and also with the WAY they are training. It used to be that players played whatever sport was in season. Football, basketball, baseball, etc... all of them require slightly different skills and movements so you are building up different areas in ways that you aren't in other sports, plus you are giving some areas more of a rest. Now, players focus on the same sport from a young age all year round many times, which tends to hurt them from a development standpoint often times and also from an injury standpoint since you are adding much more wear and tear to the same areas over and over again non-stop over the course of your youth and then as a professional. Then training has become year round as well, so even in the off-season, you are still doing significant work. While that helps make them stronger, faster and more explosive, it also puts miles on the tires and eventually, those tires wear out. The human body only has but so many repetitions in it of any movement, so the more you do as you are younger non-stop all year round and then during the off-season, the more likely you are to have serious issues like ACL, Achilles, etc where it just has worn out over time and needs to be replaced. The one good thing is that these seem to be so good these days, that often times players are coming back ready to go without much drop-off anymore.
  10. That list is always long in the NFL, people only think it's more because certain types of injuries have increased but others have decreased. Overall that hasn't been much change.
  11. It's only 18 games I believe but it runs Dec-May since games are once a week most times.
  12. Are these players made of glass on this team? Literally have one dude seriously injuring himself on a faceoff where nobody touches him and now Zucker hurts himself on probably the most innocuous check you'll ever see. Can the Sabre players get an NHL approval to wear bubblewrap?
  13. It's a very short bus trip, likely not much.
  14. Clearly they feel he is better than Georgiev, who has sucked for multiple seasons now, and sucked in the chances he got here as well.
  15. What exactly is a single game going to show us? Next to nothing meaningful.
  16. Orel Hersheiser who ironically enough was from Buffalo 😂
