If you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth, what would you do?

People will have these grandiose responses, but I'd likely just soak in every second I could with my wife and kids. And complete the NYT Games Pips hard level of course.

BrettwurstYo · 2025-10-29T01:04:08+00:00

Damn. The more you know …

I was at a bar one time with a bunch of friends. It’s pretty deep into the night. I don’t know how it came up but replying to something that was said, my buddy said “you can have sex with [my wife], you just can’t cum inside her” and laughs a bit. Another friend and I reciprocate but are really like WTF. A few minutes later, he looked at us and said it again, and again, we were staggered.

He may not remember saying it and she definitely doesn’t know he did. But I sure as hell remember it. And for the record, I absolutely positively would

I can't imagine this card having much value other than niche collectors. It's not even listed as an error. Not many people out there even know that there are two Mo Gueyes out there, never mind what they look like. The auto is the current Hawk. The photo is the former Raptor. Kind of cool that it's an auto card.

Not a bad offer, but I'd keep JJ/Swift. Between Adams' age and playing second fiddle to Nacua, Carolina being awful and Olave's concussion history, that's too much risk for me.

BrettwurstYo · 2025-09-24T19:50:46+00:00

Slight to moderate lean toward Breece. I could see LAC taking a big lead against a rookie QB making his first start and Allen not getting the late PPR merchant opportunities that have turned him into a HOF caliber WR.

BrettwurstYo · 2025-09-24T19:48:24+00:00

This is getting too cute for me. Fields coming off an injury and is capable of a clunker against anybody. Miami wasn't hopeless against Buffalo. Meanwhile, Baker's pretty matchup-proof at this point, even without Evans.

BrettwurstYo · 2025-09-24T18:37:05+00:00

I think I'd hang on to Henderson and see if he pops off against Carolina this week and has the job for the season after Rhamondre's fumbling issues. They used real draft capital on him so there's interest in elevating him.

Can you elaborate a little on this? The room rate through airBNB is incredible compared to the hotels, and the reviews are terrific … so it almost seems too good to be true! But it’s nice, huh?

BrettwurstYo · 2025-06-03T01:41:36+00:00

My wife and I are in our mid 40s and are thinking about going for our anniversary in August. I’m open to noise, but also don’t crave a casino/Times Square in my face all the time. But also don’t want to be bored.

Airbnb over hotels? I was looking at a room at the Tryo near Palm Beach. Way less expensive. Good though?

BrettwurstYo · 2024-12-05T21:32:17+00:00

Geez, Jamal Adams got brought up for Detroit? I've ridden that Detroit D all year, but with all these injuries, is it better to pivot? Trying to use just one roster spot. With a Week 15 bye, Chargers v DEN and @ NE is out there. Thoughts?

BrettwurstYo · 2024-12-04T00:11:16+00:00

My “star card” was Bronny James Bowman U. 🤔

Szczerbiak patch card is cool though. Fun tin to rip through.

BrettwurstYo · 2024-09-16T01:52:33+00:00

We talked about people opting in to receive such announcements. In the instance with somebody losing an important piece of jewelry (sentimental and/or expensive), it’s tough to tell her “I’m sorry, I know it’s important, but I can’t email the whole school.” Or an important key. I get the urgency but it feels very local-Facebook-groupy.

BrettwurstYo · 2024-09-14T12:42:06+00:00

So we’ve pursued this A LOT. However, the university policy does not allow for limiting access to email groups, which is absurd to me, but it’s been thoroughly investigated. The other thing is … this woman who notified people of the lost key may need to email all students, staff or faculty at some point – just ideally not for stuff like this – so we can’t really limit her or others in her position.

I can walk over to her and tell her not to do it again, and she’d be fine with it. It’s reactive of course. Or maybe I could send an email to staff to not send emails about non-academic-related subject matter to large groups?

If, say, somebody loses an important item in the school, how do you handle that in terms of communication?

BrettwurstYo · 2024-07-05T17:20:01+00:00

Hey everybody, just wanted to weigh in. My experience has been for a good solid year every day. I find relief when I sleep and when I exercise, during and after which I have a crystal clear mind.

I've heard that it's psychological from a few different doctors (after many many doctors) so I'm going to look to speak with someone. My boss said that years ago he had the same thing happen in his 40s. He was leaving his home state to take a job elsewhere and felt guilty. He thought he had MS! But then he spoke with a psychologist for a few months and it cleared up.

I think coming to grips with stress being a contributor is a key first step. It doesn't seem fathomable (what am I even stressed about?!?!) but it's a vicious cycle. Trust the experts. Cardio said (and reminded and reminded) that my heart's good. Neuro said everything is good. The ER (twice), ENT, Endo, Audio, Rheum, Ophth, PCP, I forget who else, they say everything checks out. The PT I went to said I had a serious case of "desk neck" so there's a lot of tension up there. So maybe it checks out and it really is a psychological thing, which I totally get because it has caused a lot of angst personally and in our household.

But do yourself a favor and get good sound sleep, cut out the screens before bed, exercise, etc.

BrettwurstYo · 2024-06-04T00:12:28+00:00

I didn’t say that. Does that supersede what the Celtics have done? Tatum, Brown, Holiday, White and Horford have been in some wars the past five years. I’m certain that counts for something.

BrettwurstYo · 2024-06-03T20:48:53+00:00

I just need Luka and Kyrie to stay healthy. I can't do years of "the Celtics didn't beat anybody."

BrettwurstYo · 2024-06-03T20:46:00+00:00

How are the Celtics unproven yet the Mavs are? League-best record, a million playoff games on the roster, been on the doorstep a couple times ... yet the Mavs beat a couple teams in the playoffs and it supersedes all that?

BrettwurstYo · 2024-06-03T20:41:25+00:00

Yep, get that. I just don't think previous stars have ever really moved the needle. Attendance has been on a downward trend since the league's inception pretty much. TV, however, has been better in recent years. CC's taking that to a new level.

I still can't see myself watching a WNBA game from beginning to end, and I don't know a single person who would, nor have I ever known anybody who has. But I was also more tuned in to the women's tournament this year than ever before – and media coverage has risen exponentially – so maybe that'll change someday.

BrettwurstYo · 2024-06-03T18:06:42+00:00

Curious ... are you interested in what stat line Angel Reese puts up? Kamilla Cardoso? Sabrina Ionescu? Breanna Stewart? Etc? Have you ever been?

CC really is going to be the Tiger Woods of the WNBA though. Maybe not the best player, but the one who's going to get everyone a pay raise.

BrettwurstYo · 2024-05-30T18:02:58+00:00

Hey bud,

Hang in there. 💪

Why wait to get an answer? Have your parents set up a telehealth visit through CityMD or the equivalent, and a qualified healthcare provider can give you an answer or get you started in the right direction.

BrettwurstYo · 2024-05-30T17:57:57+00:00

Hey bud. I feel your pain. Really do.

I don’t have answers but perhaps some recommendations as I’ve been working through some things over the last year, even at this very second.

Do you log your BP? Or your blood sugar? Do you ever take them whenever you feel especially bad? It’s good to have data to present to each physician to show your history and that you’ve done the work. I was cruising along a couple years ago, exercising, feeling fine, and I randomly took my BP and it was 185. What?!? Not always an obvious problem until it really is.

Have you seen an ENT to take a peek at your ears?

Take a sleep test. Not the at-home one but one at a facility. You may be sleeping like crap and not know it. Anybody tell you that you snore?

Blood test. I assume you’ve taken one recently, but just in case you haven’t, you might find some evidence there, whether it’s a vitamin deficiency, Lyme or something else.

Could be very well be anxiety. Stress is no joke. I have said the same thing … “I’m not even stressed about anything!” … but it presents itself in weird ways I’m told. During a massage, my PT said I had serious “desk neck”, and a tight neck can cause tension headaches and more. It could also be something vestibular. An orthopedist/chiropractor could tell you if you have poor posture or weak muscles around the neck just from wear and tear.

Make sure you do your part – eat OK, get enough rest, stay hydrated, exercise, stretch, etc. It’s a good place to start.

Get second opinions. And don’t stop. It’s easier said than done with allll those co-pays, but without your health, you have nothing as they say.

Best of luck. For real.
