NFL Playoffs?, Playoffs?!?!(that's not a catch, that's a catch)

It is crazy super competitive insanity. He thinks this crazy shit helps him win so he eats 80% vegetables and does all this other crazy shit. He really has a pathological need to win football games and if being entertained by people's mental illness is wrong...well it probably is but he is paid millions to entertain me so...

I think that's exactly what his diet is:  a means by which he can feel in control of his health, like he is his game preps.  To get to his level, I think you have to be monomaniacal.

Anyone who bets on Patriots over Broncos is either crazy or doesn't know football.

They just said on the news that 85% of the money was bet on the Pats.

Heard on NPR that some team, think it was the Bengals, named a chick as Quality Control Secondary coach.

It was the Bills

The Bills, and Quality Control-Special teams, but yeah.  She's worked with Rex Ryan for years previous, but this will be the first time she is an actual coach.  Apparently Quality Control Coaches don't really do much in the way of real hands on coaching, they're more like assistants to the coaches but there are some big time coaches that started their way up the ranks as QC coaches.

Was wondering what the QC does, friends husband was just named Offensive QC for Dolphins.

From what I understand, they mostly breakdown film and other forms of scouting reports, and use that information for analysis and planning.  The analysis and planning bit is what sets them apart from administrative assistants, who might breakdown, file, and collate the reports, but wouldn't normally go beyond that into the analysis and stuff.  That's how I've heard it explained, anyway;  I'm not sure that it's 100% accurate.

We eat massive amounts of simple sugars and salts...his assistant seems to be a quack, and the article makes his diet sound extreme, but cutting out (or way down) white flour, most meat, added sugars, and fruits isn't revolutionary. If you look at hardcore diet and fitness programs for athletes--I think there are two controversial points: whether you should cut out/down lean meats like chicken, and whether fruit is good. The case for lean meats is you need the protein and calories to build muscle--Brady promotes supplemental protein, so I assume he uses quite a bit of that, and in any event he is obviously getting adequate fitness results. The case against fruit is that the juice is typically so high in sugar. I've personally cut out fruit drinks--but still eat fruit--but if I had the money and time and sense of purpose to really control my diet and a personal chef to help, I'd definitely go to a much much better diet.

So far, it's looking like Brady didn't eat his veggies or something today.

[jimmy olsen]

Ugh... Manning is throwing duck after duck and yet it's all going his way.

[Admiral Yi]

Entertaining game so far.

[jimmy olsen]

Brady playing like ass, Manning only marginally better, neither team can run the ball. 

[Eddie Teach]

Always fun watching the Pats get beat.

Teach if you jinx it.....
