    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I went the last 8.5 years going heavy and had almost zero issues with my knees until about 9-10 months ago. Numerous issues it would seem but only one of which is actually structural (partially torn meniscus in left). The rest of my pain seems to be from some sort of imbalance somewhere -...

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    As a Saints fan, all I can say is...whew! The Eagles were clearly pumped to start the game but was really proud of the way the Saints responded, especially on defense. The injury to Rankins is very concerning though with Anderson and Gurley coming into town.

    Lots of solid changes there so I'm not surprised by your results. Keep at it, especially with sugars. If you can eventually eliminate that shit (minus those in an occasional piece of fruit), that should go a long way in continuing to move the needle on the scale.

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    Nothing has been more frustrating in the last 7-8 years than to be an LSU fan. Loads of elite talent at every position on the field yet, for whatever reason, they've never been able to actually coach and develop any QBs to compete with Bama. It sucks having to play them every year but that's...

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    Always thought Mayock was the best analyst out there come draft time. I'd say good decision by the Raiders but those two phrases are rarely used in the same sentence so we'll see if it pans out. Here's an interesting thought. What about a rematch of the 2010 Super Bowl - Colts vs Saints?

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    I’ll take it. The Saints have really cooled off the last month which concerns me but not as much as injuries to a couple of their o-linemen. I hope they can get healthy these next two weeks. But when they’re playing like they did through November, they will be extremely tough to beat. The...

    I tried RP earlier this past year for about 4 months using one of their cut templates but didn't see any real results or changes from it. I've struggled with the flexible dieting/IIFYMs approach. I just tend to do better with a plan that's a little more defined. Tell me what to eat and when and...

    Been following this thread off and on for awhile. I've been doing CrossFit for the last 8.5 years. As much as I love the challenge of many of the workouts, I've felt really burned out on it the last few months. I've also been feeling old as fuck lately (about to turn 48) and I've got too much of...

    As a Saints fan, even I’ll agree that one was a bad call however, bad calls happen to every team. Let’s not overlook how atrocious officiating has been league wide. All. Season. Long. If the league really wants to gain some credibility on this issue, they just need to have replay officials in...

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    I’m worried about this Steelers matchup. As well as the Saints’ defense has played recently, today will be their biggest test yet. At least their offense should be much better than the last few weeks. In fantasy land, it looks like Gurley is going to be a go to start but I’m still worried he’ll...

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    The really important discussion is simple - will Gurley play this week?? I think he needs to play. The Rams still have a lot to play for and I'm sure Gurley wants to hit those incentives to maximize getting paid. Oh, and this has nothing to do with me having Gurley on my fantasy team in our...

    Being ranked #1 wasn't my point. As you said, everyone's definition of that will vary anyway. My comments were more to the point that for all the people hyping the teams with great defenses that can dominate a game, none of them seem to be including the Saints. And the last 10 weeks of the...

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    The biggest problem affecting the Saints right now is injuries on the offensive line, which has played a role in their lackluster production the last few weeks. That and way too many dropped passes. Fortunately, all should make it back for this week’s game against the Steelers. Win that and...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    Cleric rezz sticks were the top priority for any guild over any other epic in the game by a country mile. Warriors were probably right behind them with the Jagged Blade of War. Once Velious came though and guilds farmed SoDs which were uber taunt weapons, a lot less so.

    Back in the day as a warrior in EQ, I started researching and planning for my epic before I had even hit lvl 20 after seeing some level 60 running around EC with his equipped. Coolest shit ever. When I hit level 60 myself, the guild I was in at the time was too small to take Sev down for the...

    Chiefs vs Saints is the matchup I'd like to see. Both offenses can obviously light up the scoreboard and both teams are playing pretty good defense these days. The Saints probably have the edge. They have the better ground attack, do a better job controlling the clock, and if all else is equal...

    Someone in our league had drafted Chubb but I noticed around week 4-5 that he was a FA so I picked him up. Low and behold, two weeks later and he's suddenly the Browns starter. Loved that move! I guess it evens out though. I drafted Tarik Cohen and decided after the first three weeks that he...

    Surprised me too. Someone took Brady midway through round 2, which surprised many of us. Had that not happened, I'm sure Green would not have slid to me at 24/25. I was hoping for Michael Thomas but he got taken at pick 22, two picks before me at 24.

    Ok, that makes sense. I had a somewhat similar situation myself. 12 team league and I had first pick. Naturally, I took Gurley first and snagged DeVante Adams and AJ Green with picks 24 and 25. Came back after that to get Marshawn, Brees, Tevin Coleman and Robert Woods to round out starters. I...

    I'd argue that a bigger fault of Smed's was not doing a better job of pushing quality over quantity. To be fair, I'm not sure if it was Smedley's decision or the execs higher than him (maybe Elidroth knows?) but from 2000-2004ish, EQ was pushing out new content basically every 6 months -...

    I would love to see the Bears win this weekend but I just have this feeling that the Rams will do just enough to pull it out. Like a 27-24 or 24-21 type of game. Meanwhile, the Saints are at Tampa in what most say is an easy win for them. The Bucs always seem to play the Saints tough at home...

    The first thought to mind when reading this is, how on earth did other people allow you to end up with both Melvin Gordon and Kareem Hunt? Those are two elite backs that absolutely should both be gone in the first round of a 12 team league. Was one of them via a trade? Are you in an 8 team...

    What is the fascination with Kaepernick anyway? The guy had one and a half good seasons out of what - five? He was pretty mediocre to downright shitty otherwise. Yeah, I know Sanchez doesn’t have a much better resume but at least he doesn’t bring a HUGE distraction with him outside of butt fumbles.
