I loathe pseudo-science BS (I work in public health and used to be a vaccine safety researcher, so that's where I am coming from), but I have used sensory deprivation tanks before and they've helped me relax and made thinking more clear for me. Though it's generally for an hour at a time, not 4 days.
All true. But isn't a visit to a tank an hour or 2?
Yeah I am no fan of woofuckery, and Rodgers subscribes to plenty, but this basically sounds like a short, more intense silent retreat. I mean, logically speaking, meditation can be infinitely more sane than prayer, in that it doesn’t require an imaginary friend. And yet if Rodgers said he was gonna pray on it few people would bat an eye.
I know that both my sister and my mother attended a week-long silent retreat (Vipassana I think it was), and neither are experienced practitioners, and both of them got something out of it (vastly different things interestingly enough). I, for one, don't think it's for me, and yes, I think being stuck in a dark room for 4 days with no interactions would drive me insane, but I've also stuck myself in a room with the newest Harry Potter book and 2 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for a weekend and I didn't go crazy, so who knows?
I do think that Wilson seems to have put friends in charge instead of people who know how to run ops, which is a big issue.
Seems like he’s the kinda bro who’d rather take less to have more control of his situation.
If he's cut doesn't he get to keep the guaranteed money and sign a new contract? Maybe he thinks that'll be more money or at least similar plus gets to choose his landing spot.
Maybe, I just remember there is some Feb 15 thing. But Lombardi was talking about how the league year doesn’t begin until March. You might be right.
The Raiders had less than 0% leverage on this situation. If they don't cut him by Feb 15th, the Raiders owe Carr 41 million guaranteed. They have no choice and Carr knows this.
for some reason I thought it was reported he would make more on his current deal than a FA deal but I might be getting that wrong.
That's true BUT the Raiders were done with Carr and they made that clear. So why would Carr facilitate a trade and help the Raiders out?
Carr's agent has had time and opportunity to nail down the market for him.
I always think of that play where they picked Brady and were in line to win and move on, right? Then troy brown ripped it free and the pats got the ball back.
You really think Wilson is that self-aware?Hey! We found the last person in America to find out
I dunno. I’ve had such a positive impression of him starting about 8 years ago.Hey! We found the last person in America to find out
If Stafford can’t come back from his injury, going to be a rough couple of years for the Rams.
They definitely went all in. Got a title, so it was probably worth it. But yeah…gonna have some struggles here.
Absolutely. But at least they got that title in year 1. The horrible rebuild is easier that way than for a team that goes all in and then suffers frustrating losses (cough Niners cough)
One of the great "What if?" stories. Where would he be had he not been injured in that game against the Rams?
Like, returning as Bills DC? Or returning Bills in different role? Seems weird. Hope he's okay health-wise.
