Bull Poo we were told as kids (and what we are still passing on)

Last night we were driving to dinner with the kids and one of the boys popped his knuckles.  That set off a stern lecture from my wife who basically believes that in a matter of days my 9 year old's hands will swell to three times their normal size and will cause him never-ending agony for the rest of his days (I may be exaggerating a little for clarity and effect).

 

This got me thinking about what other stuff we were told as children that are complete nonsense and yet at least to a certain extent we still tell our kids.  The ones off the top of my head are:

 

1.  Sitting too close to the TV screws up your eyes

2.  Going outside in the rain will make you catch a cold.

 

I am sure there are several more.  Wondering if anyone else cared to share.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that
