sports 2023/24 NFL It’s a Hard Knock Life Shit Talking Thread
Gemini replied to 1pooh4u's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, I was gonna ask you and Buddy about that. I'm sure both of y'all are happy, but there has to be at least one or two concerns, too, right? -

Agreed. He's a cool dude. And I want to reiterate that I wasn't trying to step on any toes. I once again apologize. -

Hey, Google. When does the 2024 NFL league year start? Again, I only made the thread to try and coincide with the start of the new league year and discuss it, not to undercut you. I'm sorry you feel like I did. Seriously, pooh, that was my only concern. -

A new league year has started. It typically starts in March, which is why I made the thread. I'm not trying to compete with anybody. lol -

Shut up, pooh. lol (Nah, if you want to take it over and even rename it, that's fine. I just wanted to get one started.) -
New banger featuring our neighborhood baller
Gemini replied to André Toulon's topic in General Discussion
I was at a Dick's Sporting Goods store several years ago when my ex-wife and I were living in an apartment on the northeast side of Houston. (About fifteen minutes from Bush IAH.) As soon as I saw it, I thought of you and took a pic with my iPhone. I was gonna send it to you via PM when I got back to what was our home at the time, but I never got around to it. -
That's awesome! Good luck. Also, I got NHL 23 recently. (I know, I know. Why not NHL 24? Because money. That's why. lol) I've been enjoying it so far.

Figured I'd get this started in time for free agency, which offically starts Monday. Some notable FA's are Saquan Barkley, Derrick Henry, Mike Evans, Chris Jones, Kirk Cousins, and "Hollywood" Marquise Brown. The list of the Top 100 free agents, according to pff.com, can be found here. -

So if we go down in history, are we really losers? Wouldn't it be worse to not be remembered at all? Edit: I just saw that you meant Lores and not losers. Whoops. (I'm not changing it though. lol)

Sweet! Now to figure out whether or not to use our fantasy team names or UEMB names? (Answer: UEMB names. it just makes more sense.)

I mean as long as you like chorizo and egg with beans and cheese, I'm cool with it. lol (Yes, I'm actually talking about food and nothing else.)

I can put it in my sig. It would probably have to be a mini version in case I or someone else ends up winning multiple championships in the future. Heck, i (or someone else) might be able to make something for multiple sports in the future. For example, I also won a fantasy hockey championship years back as well.

No. I have Verizon. I did, however, meet this cute chick at the Verizon store I went to Monday night in order to pay my bill. (I usually pay online, but decided to go in person since I was out of the house and in the area.) We bonded over the Astros, Doctor Who, and other stuff. (I'll probably never see her again, though, which is sad because she was pretty darn cool.)

I was going to post some existential bullshit, but decided against it. Just not in the mood to do so.

Something like...this. (But just one per championship. That or just do what the Lakers...I think? and Celtics do and have banners with multiple years on each of them.)

lol It doesn't work that way. Sorry.

Nor do I. Then again, the Texans don't need him either. (Sorry. I shouldn't gloat.) Also, and I know it's a little early to talk about, but it's looking like the Falcons are looking at drafting a QB in the first round. I forget which analyst it was on the NFL Network, but immediately after the Combine was officially over, he had Atlanta drafting J.J. McCarthy from Michigan. I think he'd be a good fit, personally, but then again, I'm not a Falcons' fan. What do you think of this, and who would you want the Falcons to select? (This question is for both you and Odin, if you choose to answer it.) -
Fine, fine. I'll take the blame. I'm a Time Lord.

I was as a kid. I was a kindergartener when I was diagnosed. That was all the way back in 1987. I was five years old. As soon as I was diagnosed, I was put on Ritalin and took it until my junior year. Just before I turned 17, Mom had made an appointment with a different doctor who ended up putting me on Adderal. I took that until I was 25. Heck, my first few years posting on the [as]MB was me on Adderal. Now I do think I was misdiagnosed as having ADHD because ultimately, it was more of a focus issue, not necessarily hyperactivity. And yeah, medication would make me sedentary, too. I'll also say that at least for me, I was able to focus more, but only on certain things I found interesting. I tended to goof off in school when I was bored. I somehow graduated high school with a 3.01 GPA (based on a 4.0 GPA scale). The focus thing while I was being treated may have just been a placebo effect. I haven't been treated for it since 2007. Since I got off medication, I've gained a lot of weight. (Turns out ADD/ADHD medication also acts like an appetite suppressant on certain people.) It didn't help that I was no longer active like I was when I was a kid. I, like you, have been able to find ways to manage it because I was able to go back to college and get my BFA in Digital Film and Video Production. And I don't know about you when it comes to your son or your mother when it comes to you relating to parenting a child with ADD or ADHD, but my mom did every single thing she could to ensure I was on a level playing field with kids who didn't have ADD or ADHD. (I only say that because I don't know how you were raised. On the other hand, I know you talk about how you raise your son sometimes, but I also know you're a private enough person to keep certain things about him and your relationship with him off the internet. I commend you for that.) I'll forever be eternally grateful to my mother for going above and beyond for me in my education during my childhood. Strangely enough, my aunt, who's a nurse, on my mom's side thinks I have Asperger's Syndrome instead of ADD or ADHD. My mom, several psychologists, and even my ex-wife, who has a Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Houston, have all stated that I most certainly don't have Asperger's. (Now this is a different discussion for another day.) We've mentioned this to my aunt, but she insists that she's right in her "diagnosis" of me, even though she's just a surgical nurse/administrator in the Austin area. (There may be a little credence to my aunt's beliefs about my psychological makeup: I do sometimes think I may have been misdiagnosed because I can get hyperfocused on certain things. But of course, that might be a result of learning how to manage my diagnosis so who knows?) This has been rather therapeutic and enlightening. Thanks for asking. (Also, sorry for the long post.)
