  1. They don't need to evaluate him, they traded for him for a reason and apparently from Gettleman to Proehl, the love him. He's not getting cut.
  2. Following this game, I foresee this transaction: Brandon Wegher, IR - Really Hot Diarrhea
  3. No, that had nothing to do with the TB. I've got a following now.
  4. Did I complain? Can you not take a joke? Damn Philly, go pie mr.scot if it makes you feel better.
  5. HALFTIME STATS: Rushing Attempts: 48 Rushing Yards: 225 Passing Attempts: 5 Shula Orgasms: 9,589,405,384,204
  6. I was thinking the same thing in the first quarter... Which cements my idea that with Shula as OC we don't give a poo about receivers, we want to know if they can play wide blocker. fug Shula.
  7. And even if he wasn't doing his best Bersin impression tonight, I already decided after seeing that first PR and what he did on returns the week prior, that Byrd isn't gonna make the team. For someone who is supposed to be blazing fast, he looks awfully slow.
  8. Looking forward to seeing Funchess out there and Brandon Williams... Hope they show out. Also, hoping Byrd gets some offensive reps to see what we have in him.
  9. But no one is asking for a #1... That is the misconception. I for one, am not asking for a #. We have a #1, but he is injured. I'm also assuming Funchess, if he can stay healthy, is a #2, and will step into the role of the #1 in KB's absence. I'm asking for a quality #3, possibly a guy who could become a #2. A legit #4 even. The problem when you don't bring in competition is that you are assuming the guys you already have are the best for the job and you're dismissing the possibility that they really aren't.
  10. I will assume the position of the people you are referring to on local sports talk SCP, as I have been that here lol. I look at it like this SCP, if you are looking for a daily driver, and I give you the choice of having a working Daewoo or a relatively new Honda Accord/Civic (depending on your needs) for roughly the same price, which one are you picking? Likewise, if you were looking for a sports car, and you have the means to buy them (which we do have the means to address WR), would you settle for a base model V6, or do you want to go ahead and get the V8 with all the bells and whistles. In our scenario, a V8 is likely out there, but we haven't brought them in to check them out. And before someone tries to rip apart this metaphor, we are in the market for an american muscle car... Guys like Calvin Johnson are Mazeratis and KB is like a Ferrari. Philly Brown and Bersin are Yugos.
  11. This x1000. But it's much more fun to browbeat people for saying they want help at WR. I think the reason those claiming we need help and feel Gman hasn't done all he can in that aspect of WR seem so impassioned is because as you said, "help just means an improvement on what you already have." So when we don't bring in anyone else outside of Norwood considering what we currently have, many feel we aren't doing all we can to look for help, because it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to improve on what is currently here.
  12. Sorry fiz, current huddle atmosphere has me on insult alert: high.
  13. If my goal is 10% body fat, how would that be "skinny fat"?
  14. Also an update for me... Following my grandmother passing back in November and me subsequently leaving my horrible job after being shat on throughout the duration of my time there and then wondering what was my purpose in life, lol, I got into a pretty big funk and crossed a threshold I never thought I was capable of... I, at 5'10,"exceeded 200lbs for the first time in my life. The highest I actually saw on the scale was 203, but I'm pretty sure I was a little bigger than that at some point. I got more serious than I ever have about losing weight... My goal is to get back and lean down to my "prime shape," weight and then put on more muscle mass after I reach that. I was 203 in mid-may. I started reading up on the science behind weight loss and really buckled down on following that. When I was less than 10% bf in my late teens-early twenties, I ate like crap but I basically did non-stop anaerobic exercises and sprinkled in some weight lifting... Looking back, the difference was, I didn't indulge in junk. I ate it all the time, but I didn't over eat and was always active. When I got to college, and had my kids, I got comfortable. I quit being physically active and in a double dose of dumb, I started eating fast food like never before and definitely did overeat and indulge. I gave no thought to portions... And considering what good shape I had always been in, I thought it was impossible to ever get fat. I was wrong lol. Anyway, what I learned in researching the science behind it was, basically no matter how good your metabolism, especially if you are already overweight, you can't out exercise a horrible diet. I read something like out of your body's total caloric burn, only 15% of it is determined by working out... So if you eat 3 big macs a day, and a bunch of other crap on top of it as snacks, you won't out work that, no matter what you do. The highest percentage of your caloric burn comes from your natural body processes (breathing, just being alive)... So again, it illustrated how important diet was. I also learned why it always seemed so much easier to stay in shape when I was already in shape even if I ate bad, versus getting overweight and tthen trying to lose weight and get back in shape... Basically, fat loves company and muscle burns fat. So when I was lean, anytime I ate bad, already being mostly lean muscle helped burn the fat at a greater rate. But, when you're fat, your body welcomes more fat at a higher rate and your metabolism slows to allow more fat to accumulate. So, I'm sure at this point I'm talking to myself like an asshole, but oh well... So, after reading about that and then reading how easy it was once you get your diet in check, I realize I had to make changes I never thought I would before and decided to start tracking my calories. So, then I started insanity again... I use myfitnesspal everyday to track my cals, and I went from that 203 in mid-may to now currently 174. I started going to the gym with a friend and tried Kris gethin's 12 week trainer on Bodybuilding.com, which lended itself to me abandoning insanity about a week into month two lol... But then I got frustrated by my friend's lack of self-motivation and his shitty gym aka Planet Fatness. I got the fuging lunk alarm pulled on me for lowering my rubber dumbbells about a foot off the floor and then dropping them following presses to failure... Meanwhile, some authentic assholes were banging metal on metal on fuging Smith machines and got nothing. I seem to have that effect on people lol. Furthermore, my friend allowed his nazi wife to dictate that he couldn't go to the gym as many days as that program requires, and he was my free pass in. So, combine the fact that his schedule wouldn't allow us to do the program the way it was supposed to be done and then having a lunk alarm pulled on me, I abandoned that for the time being. So, I now joined a lifetime fitness and love it, but I have been slacking the last two weeks with my kids starting school back, and haven't lifted in almost a month now, in part due to hurting my shoulders with all those heavy presses and flyes, so I needed to rest them. But, I've maintained my calorie tracking for the most part and am currently trying to figure out what kind of program I want to do... I'm trying to find a three day lifting program that isn't ridiculous but will give me muscle mass while I'm still leaning down. In the meantime, I need to get back on my HIIT cardio, but I'm proud of myself so far. Also,i have to recommend, in my "research" I found the documentary "Fathead" to be amazing, along with an article I read on Bodybuilding.com about the twinkle diet equally fascinating. Check them out! It shows as long as you track your cals, you don't have to be miserable, but at the same time, it also opens your eyes up to how much more you can eat of a salad versus how little you would eat in a day if it strictly pizza and doughnuts. THE END.
  15. Fiz is a smart guy, and I know he loves lifting, and he is absolutely 100% right about fat loss... But, I have to disagree with him on crunches being useless. I know lifts will help, but from personal experience, crunches absolutely worked for me in my prime shape. I did a regimen every night consisting of variations of crunches and then reps with an ab wheel and I had an 8-pack with people asking me what I did to get them. I posted the pics here of my abs from back then, and I'm pretty sure it was somewhere in this thread. So in my experience, crunches work great. But nothing works to make your abs pop of you have fat covering them, which is why that cliche "great abs are made in the kitchen," couldn't be more true. I will say though, in recent years, I've noticed a trend in a lot of workouts I've been trying out to get away from crunches and more towards stuff like hanging leg raises/bicycles, planks, static movements using gravity (like six-inches) and as fiz mentioned, relying more on lifts to have a residual effect on your abs. I don't know if it's just a trendy thing, but like I said, crunches worked for me, but I had less than 10% body fat at the time too, among all the other things I was doing exercise-wise.
  16. I agree with your projections, although I'm hoping Brandon Williams makes the active roster over Simonson, but it does seem like they are subtly moving away from BWil. Also, just looking at WR... YUCK.
  17. But this is a huge problem with our fanbase... If our reciever didn't poo all over Cam in the first half and we were up big, no one would even be making these comparisons.
  18. I wasn't a fan of the Boykin signing initially, but why the F is he playing behind anyone but KB and Funchess (purely because of where he was selected)?
  19. But no one can question the all-knowing gettleman... One of these guys is the next Victor Cruz and we're all idiots for thinking anything else because we aren't employed by the nfl.
  20. He's dropped wide open passes two games in a row. He singlehandedly has killed at least three, possibly four drives, and cost us 14 points on his own. That is inexcusable. But, thankfully, he plays for our franchise and he'll be kept and made a starter anyway.
  21. I get what your saying KB, but man, the truth is, he was never meant to be what everyone made him out to be. He just isn't very good, even for depth considering what else ISN'T on the roster.
  22. "Cam, I'm happy to have extended you this offseason... You are our franchise QB, now get out there and play with that nice hot, steamy pile of poo I gave you."
  23. Hey guys... Ever wonder why were able to fill our receiving corps with undrafted FAs? Because they fuging suck ad no one wanted them. But by all means... Have at it nippleshorts!
