Da Bears - Back in the Saddle - “And here I thought my runner’s high was actually due to nipple chafing.”

Not sure I have ever seen this - Da Bears picked up Roger Daltrey  . . Andy Dalton and according to the sports books their chances of winning the Superbowl dropped from 40-1 to 50-1.   I can't remember ever seen a team LOWER their chances with a Free Agent!  

********************

I mention Roger Daltrey because of an Arrowsmith issue (I know I know different group, same era) I had yesterday.  

You see I went to the gym for the first time in a year last week.  Took it very easy.  Yesterday I was back and was on a stairmaster thing seeing how my knee would react - it did not react at all and I was ECSTATIC with finally working up a sweat.   

I had picked up some Jabra earbuds which are GREAT with actual booming base and fit really comfortable (unlike the hideous Apple crap). 

SO - I'm working my way down the machines and I think I'm getting some sort of runner's high listing to some great music and I'm on the last machine and Arrowsmith comes on, Back in the Saddle live.  

WELL - I'm on the machine that is like the anti bench press for the back and shoulders - and I'm FREAKING OUT on adrenaline and endorphins and am going crazy pumping back and forth like there is no tomorrow, just rockin out. 

Until I stop and notice I back is pretty much frozen in place and when I stand I'm pretty much looking like I'm 110 years old.   

Yea - lots of ice last night - feeling 60% better today - It's one of those pains where the more you do stuff the better it feels.

Study Shows Runner’s High Caused By Cannabis-Like Biochemicals

********************

We went to the new Popeyes yesterday and were soundly disappointed. Yea - they got the order wrong but that was not the issue.  Just not NEARLY as good as Chick-fil-a except for the amazing biscuits.

I'm not into boycotting chick-fil-a.  For one reason they are awesome.  For another I don't think their employees or the local management hate LGBT and I have never been treated poorly for discriminated against there. Plus I have a few friends in that community and they are fine. Boycotting large corps only hurts local people who are only doing their jobs trying to make a living.

If you go to Popeyes don't get the blackened chicken strips - no breading so you are left with holding super hot juicy pieces of chicken with your fingers and really - nothing is really that spicy at all. 

There is no dance of the flaming sphincter in this one.

WOW - heard a HUGE mistake on The Today Show this morning and they did not correct it. 

The story was about Tiger Woods and they said he signed a long term contract with EA Sports for the NEW PGA 2K21 golf game. 

UMMMMM - NOPE - EA sports is the enemy. He signed with Take Two (also known as 2K) to be the spokesperson for PGA2K21.  Take Two purchased HB Studios who developed The Golf Club 5 years ago and are putting their weight into the game and HOPEFULLY not ruining it.

EA sports SUCKS at everything and ruins everything they touch. 

HB studios created The Golf Club as a labor of love 5 years ago and it's been growing ever since getting better and better and I honestly believe it helped my putting by teaching me how to visualize breaks on a green. There is a par 3 at The Oaks where it really helps visualize.  I see grid lines.

OH - just got a call from Elweed  - I noticed last night while playing MLB The Show there was a new download for TGC 2K21. There is a new mode.  20 player elimination speed golf.  20 players tee off at once and the last 4 to put the ball in the hole are eliminated.  Number of strokes don't matter. 

Would LOVE to play this in real life  LOL

MLB The Show - I was playing a home game in Milwaukee but decided to play in a different stadium. I was in Tampa Bay but it seems the weather follows and it was listed as 30 degrees in TB.  LOL

Cannabis - a study of states that have legal cannabis has found zero evidence that youth are smoking more. 

The Tax Foundation analysis found that if current marijuana sales projections hold up, "the value of marijuana sales will grow to two times that of firearms and ammunition, and three times that of McDonald’s sales revenue in the U.S." by 2023.

On a side note a friend told me that new hours are really great in S Beloit.  1:05 from Columbus - go right in and 10 minutes later you are driving back.  Plus prices are decreasing with normally 15+ strains to choose from.   Wisconsin is losing out of SO MUCH money.   $250 million in income for ILL from sales over 1 billion.
