Started yesterday. Anybody decide to give up anything?

I'm not Catholic, or really religious at all, but I think that it is a good personal growth exercise.

I'm giving up alcohol and all fried foods. I made Day 1 my bitch, but it will only get harder. St. Patty's is going to be tough.

I work with a guy that has given up sweets for lent. Cakes, cookies, desert type stuff basically. Instead of eating the pastry type deserts, now, he has switched to yogurt.

Here's where I started an argument... I think eating strawberry yogurt is no different than eating any other type of sweet desert. Just because it's supposedly good for you doesn't make it a "sweet". His "sacrifice" was to give up sweets, not unhealthy desserts.

Obviously he disagrees and thinks it's OK. What does The huddle think?

One other thing! I ask him what he drank with supper, he said tea (sweet). I started on him about that and he started getting pissed, so I left that one alone. What do y'all think?

Ehh, as long as he is eating healthier, I think that's his main cause. He just didn't vocalize his intentions very clearly. But he's making an effort to change his life for the better, at least for a short period of time so I wouldn't ride him too hard.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
