Which one? I suggest P90X to start out. Though you need dumbells and a pull-up bar for that.
I'm doing Tapout XT. Just as lame as the others, but I think it's rated higher than P90X in almost every category. Kind of trades back and forth with the 'Insanity' workout depending on what you're trying to achieve....apparently. That's at least what I seem to see when people rate them.
 
I'm in a dynasty fantasy football league (3rd year) and I traded away Arian Foster, Hartline (throw in) for Jones-Drew and Lamar Miller. Do you think that was a smart decision?

The reason why I made the trade was because I only had 2 starting rbs Foster and Forte. Now I have 3 and I still have Foster's backup, Tate. I also have Ronnie Hillman but I'm not sure about his production.

As long as it blasts your core and helps you lose weight it is a good thing.

The thing I liked most about P90X was that it helped become a fiend at pullups. I was able to do so many of them after that video.

My kids are getting older so I am starting to get more free time. This fall I am probably going to do the guido workout. Some clear cream on the ass and 90 minutes* of curls and bench press a day. No video necessary. Just go to any large gym and you will find many samples to follow.

* 30 of which is spent in front of the mirror.


Obviously the first!
:lol

Sadly I feel the same way.

As gross as it was seeing him wear that serial killers baseball cap, it would have been much worse seeing him wear a Ray Lewis jersey!

Sounds high risk/high reward. Miller could be amazing or he could be a complete bust depending on a lot of factors (not the least of which is the Dolphins unproven o-line). He will very likely get the bulk of the carries in Miami though, which is a plus. On the other hand, this could be a nice year for Hartline so I'm not sure about that part. Foster and Jones-Drew are relatively known quantities at this point so there isn't much to say there.

Not directed at anyone in particular, but it seems dumb to whine about fantasy football talk in a thread that is 95% unrelated to football

Texans don't have a lot of faith in Tate, and he's always nursing some injury. That's why Foster has so many caries every year. Like Darkest_Red said, it's risky, and depends on how much you like Miller. I think Foster has a better short and long term than MJD. And I'm not sure Hartline is just a throw in. At minimum he is a solid bench guy and bye week starter

I gave Hartline because my other receivers are: B. Marshall, Garçon, Amendola, C. Shorts, and D. Hopkins. I also think his production will be down because of the additions of Wallace and Keller.
 
I really wonder what my kids will think when I show them all my favorite movies from the 80s.

I tried with my nephew when he was like 9 and aside from Star Wars he did not really like any of them. Not even Karate Kid which I thought was universally loved by everyone!

Might be the age. My GF's daughter and her friend just turned 12, so we figured they were perfect for some of these. We've watched Raiders, Gremlins, Beetlejuice, Dark Crystal and there's probably one or two others I'm forgetting. Karate Kid is one we have yet to do.

The problem is all the nonsense in here currently usually goes away when the season starts. Fantasy football remains and gets even worse when the season is in full swing.

Gotcha, I'd say you're good at WR, then. With Hartline I think it could go either way. On the one hand, it makes sense that Wallace will be taking some production as the number one guy and Keller will certainly be a better target than Fasano, but on the other hand Wallace could attract enough attention to make life easier for Hartline, particularly in the red zone (even with +1000 yards last season Hartline only had 1 receiving TD). Also, if things go as expected (admittedly a sizable "if") Tannehill's production should improve overall, along with the production of the Dolphins offense in general.

Long story short, I see a few reasons why Hartline's production could go up or down, but with your current WR's I'd say you're good regardless. Now let's just hope Miller has a nice breakout season!

Thanks to this system upgrade this summer feels like it's been one long work week. I need football like now.


Side note, my 15 year old nephew was staying with us this past week, eventhough we other options for the Wii/WiiU as far as gaming goes, we couldn't stop playing Smash Brothers Brawl. Him, me and my 9 year old daughter had so much fun. I love that game.

Agreed.

When we are all sweating the next weeks game and celebrating or crying over the last one, no one wants idiots coming in and asking us whether they should start their 2nd or 3rd running back.

How did Gremlins age?

Loved it as a kid but I barely remember it.

I can say that I did not find Beetlejuice has as funny now as I did then.

I loved Dark Crystal but I have not seen that in years either.

How about Arian Foster doesn't give a damn about your fantasy team?

I still love Gremlins, I think it holds up very well. The pacing, the effects, the music, it's just put together very well. I thought it was interesting seeing Beetlejuice again because I noticed he doesn't have all that much screen time in the movie until the end. It's good, it's my GF's favorite, but I wouldn't rank it as one of my all time favorites. I much prefer Pee Wee's Big Adventure for early Burton. Dark Crystal, um, I admit, I fell asleep. Her daughter said she liked it though.

Rule Eight: Kickoff Data is the Most Important Data You Never See. Want to make 500+ yards of football production disappear immediately? Ignore kickoff data.

Justin Tucker of the Ravens was one of the best kickoff specialists in the NFL last year. His 87 kickoffs traveled a league leading 5,938 yards, producing 49 touchbacks. Jason Hanson, beloved veteran sharpshooter on short field goals, was one of the worst kickoff specialists in the NFL last year. His 87 kickoffs yielded 5,414 yards and 30 touchbacks. Both teams allowed about 23 yards per return, but the Ravens had to stop one less kick return per game, and with the ball about 5.3 yards deeper at the end of a typical Tucker kick than a typical Hanson kick, the Ravens forced opponents to start a lot more drives around the 20-yard line than the Lions did. Five hundred yards is the production a team gets from a slot receiver or a change-up back, but because in this case the yardage resulted from kickoffs, it is often completely ignored during team analysis.

Everyone focuses on field goals, of course. We are probably looking in the wrong place when it comes to evaluating both kickers and a team's ability to win games with special teams. The NFL field goal percentage is now 83.9 percent; for attempts shorter than 50 yards, it climbs to 87.9 percent. Unless you are evaluating a rookie kicker, a 40-year-old who may have just lost his leg or some emergency replacement off the waiver wire, you are probably just looking at random fluctuations when an established kicker has a field goal slump or streak. (Think of an 88-percent free throw shooter in the NBA suddenly missing a few or going 15-for-15, except that a kicker's streak extends across two months, not two games.) The kickoff data does not fluctuate nearly as much, so someone like Tucker can produce more touchbacks than other kickers year after year and have a significant impact on his team's defense, and never get noticed.

One of the few things in football that can be isolated to the player. Hanson has been a liability for years with his KOs.

I have been thinking about this for a bit. If the Pats defense continues to be garbage and the offense slips the Pats should seriously consider firing Belichick at the end of the season. If it wasn't for Brady this team would be absolute garbage. The last couple of drafts have been much better, but overall Belichick has done a terrible job. Right now he is living off the mystique he built in the beginning of his tenure. I can't think of a more overrated NFL head coach at the moment. Every year he finds a new way to get completely out coached and outmatched in the most important games of the year.

He has been pretty horrific for a while now. Look at the defense he has built. One of the worst defenses in the NFL the last three seasons. It's mainly because of Belichick this team hasn't won another super bowl. I don't have to go over his draft history with you. Go back and watch the last few playoff losses to see how badly he has been outcoached. Belichick is supposed to be a defensive genius, but he continues to trot out this sorry ass crop of players with the same weak ass defensive scheme. He built a team designed to stop the run in a league designed to make passing easier. I'm still going to stand by what I'm saying. Pats should seriously consider moving on if this weak shit continues.

RG3 going down. That's pretty damn dumb to leave a digital copy of dick pics

That's some ENTOURAGE, Turtle wanted to get a girlfriend and made some claims type stuff squicken. I can't believe with your investigative reporting on the Hernandez case you couldn't decipher this easy as pie SMS case. C'mon son. You know how easy I can make fake Iphone screens with sms messages?
 
RGIII's side piece went from denying shit in the email correspondence to wanting to sell dick pics. That doesn't excuse his cornball behavior, though. Real brothers keep their shit locked down.

I forgot PeeWee. That movie still makes me laugh my ass off. Weirdly a lot of people don't like that movie.


Thats a fine ass bitch. Do all hooters have chicks this hot?
 

On the one hand, I'm disgusted because fuck the Falcons and everything they claim.

On the other hand, its hard to expect a guy to drop 20 years of fandom for a certain team just because he got drafted by a rival. It's not like the rivalry has been particularly heated while Cam's been here. The head-to-head matchups have all been blowouts save for the Nakamura chokejob last year, and the two teams haven't been in any kind of division race since Mike Vick was still playing for ATL. Our rivalry has taken a backseat over the past few years to the Saints-Falcons.

On your wedding day? So needy in his texts too. He's no Alpha Male like Wilson or Weeden.

You probably shouldn't bother getting married as a superstar NFL QB.

Unless you're a complete goober like Eli Manning or Matt Ryan.
