Week 10 of the NFL is in the books and the playoff picture is definitely coming into focus. Teams are starting to pull away in their various divisions and we need to start talking about who is going to sneak in as a wildcard. The week was much more interesting than I thought it would be, which just goes to show you the unpredictable nature of the NFL. On to The Rundown!

The election is over, finished and done,
It’s time for football, time for some fun.
Poor Mitt Romney, never thought he would fail,
Now you are free to discuss which celebrities you would nail.
Don’t worry you junkies, never should you fear.
Before you know it, the midterms will be here.
So sit right down and pull up a seat,
My recaps on the season just can’t be beat.
Week 8 is in the book and I thought instead of writing a recap of what happened during the week we’d take a look back at my crazy preseason predictions for the different divisions and see how I am doing for the year. I’ll be grading myself based on accuracy of the predictions in general. Also, the season isn’t over yet so I could have totally different grades at the end of the year.
Espen Fadnes has been blowing the world’s collective mind by being on the edge of human flight for more than ten years. He was the first person to fly beneath parachute opening altitude, and he did that back in 2000 in a pair of jeans in Norway. In the video below he shows off some flights in France and shares his mentality, and what it takes to be a CRAZY PERSON.
The man has hit over 155 miles an hour wearing his crazy pants suit and is famous for his video last year titled “Sense Of Flying,” here is his most recent effort “Split of a Second.” Continue reading
Week 7 is in the books and the most interesting thing I’ve heard was a late bit of news that the Chargers got busted by a ref in their epic loss to the Broncos for cheating. Apparently they were using Stickum, which was banned in 1981. I guess when they put on those throwback powder blue uniforms they decided to play with a few of the throwback rules. Expect fines and a possible loss of draft picks when the punishment is handed down by the league office. “Rampaging” Roger Goodell is probably still smarting from giving up power in Bounty Gate to Tagliabue. On to week 7! Continue reading
Week 6 is in the books, and what an interesting week it was! The NFC looks positively stellar with seven teams above .500 while the AFC looks positively average with only two. The Broncos had an historic comeback win over the Chargers, and some key injuries may have ended one team’s playoff hopes. We have a lot to talk about this week so let’s dive right in, shall we?
Put down your can of Natty Boh and stop saying “hon” for two seconds, Baltimore fans, because I have something to tell you: National Bohemian is a shitty fucking beer. It just is.
Also, it looks like Ray Lewis tore his triceps on Sunday. His season is over and this may very well be the end of a legendary 17-year-career. So instead of making fun of that ridiculous goddamn Dundalk accent that all Baltimorons speak with, let’s take a trip down memory lane and re-live the career of Ray Lewis — a football story as surreal and over-the-top as any John Waters movie.

Week 5 has come and gone and we are reaching the dog days of the NFL. The good teams start to separate themselves from the crappy teams. We find out which playoff contenders have become playoff pretenders. At least one team will have a train wreck of a meltdown, and pretty soon we can expect the quarterback carousel to start as a few teams on the edge of playoff contention desperately hope for a spark.

OK gang, here we go. Continue reading
Have you ever been to a GNC or The Vitamin Store? It is bewildering the volume and variety of weight training nutritional supplements available. Ditto if you’ve ever read a fitness or weight training magazine. Everyone has this product or that product they insist will give you amazing gains, deep cuts, and noticeable results in just (insert unrealistic time frame).
I’m here to tell you that, after 20 years of weight training, I’ve come to a conclusion: there’s not very much out there that’s worth spending your hard earned money on. The majority of it is just bunk. Some of it might work, but the effect is so minor as to not be worth it for the amateur weight trainer or fitness enthusiast. If you were an Olympic athlete competing in events where fractions of a second can mean the difference between a Wheaties contract or four more years of anonymous high altitude training in Denver, then sure, go spend the money on anything that will give you even the slightest edge. I’m pretty sure Michael Phelps doesn’t have an Intense Debate account, so I’m not going there.
For the rest of us who just want to be a little stronger, a little bigger, maybe a little more lean, here’s the supplements I recommend, because they’ve produced tangible, noticeable results for me. Continue reading
