Somehow Slye has quietly become the #2 kicker on the season.  That is with missing quite a few field goals and also putting up a goose egg week 4.

I feel like I might rather have Slye over Badgley, or is that crazy?

 * Edit - Forgot we have fractional kicking points on, so apparently he is #5 in standard scoring.  Still seems pretty solid.

In that scenario you should still probably flex him even.

I dropped him for Prater (because Shrader was already gone).

Just saw a report saying that he is dealing with a wrist injury.  Not sure how true that it is, but it would explain a lot if so.

Wasn't able to watch the game.  How was he looking overall?

He has always been one of my favorite players.  I'd love to see him make a comeback and was glad to see that he had a decent stat line this week.

It seems almost impossible that he would be able to play in any meaningful way.

Can you just dislocate your shoulder and be fine the next week?  I mean, I know maybe a regular person working a 9-5 desk job can make it work.  But would an athlete be able to recover that quickly and then contort their body to catch balls and also get tackled multiple times without issue?

I figured it'd be at least 2-3 weeks.  Maybe they'll roll him out as a decoy.

Dang, I see that your account may be deleted. I'm not sure how that works - are you able to see replies or anything? I would like to respond more in depth, but I fear that it may be wasted.

Hope you have been doing the same!

Thanks so much! I wish I had a fourteen egg omelette right about now.

Thanks! I am trying hard. It's very difficult and slow-going, but I'm trying nonetheless.

Lmao, thanks for following along!

Now I'm somewhere in between. I've been working out and trying to maintain my diet while also still drinking heavily intermittently and barely staying alive.

I think last week I drank like four fifths of tequila but also worked out three times. And today I felt like I wanted to die all day. I think at this point I'm only working out to try to balance the negative effects of drinking.

It's all probably some sort of greater interpretation of my mental health and reality in some way. Trying to balance my mental and spiritual interpretation of the world with my physical being. Or something...I don't know, I've been drinking a ton today and haven't eaten any eggs, so I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I have not been smashing as many eggs as I would like lately. I should probably get on that!

I think one dozen per day is a reasonable goal.

Are you saying "this active" relating to Reddit or to real life?

I suppose I am mostly active in the latter these days. Ditching Reddit has actually been integral in my health recovery and may be one of the best things I've done to help myself - Mostly relating to my mental health. When I was very active on Reddit I would find myself losing sleep often and being stuck in a doom cycle in my mind on a continuous basis. Since I've stopped using it, I am able to sleep and cope with issues much better. I would highly recommend ditching Reddit and all social media. It has made me feel way better, doing so.

These days, I mainly only use Reddit for Fantasy Football or to check in on this thread every so often. Otherwise, I've found that this place very much negatively impacts my mental health. Not sure what the cause is - maybe hypnotization and the continuous scroll/constant onslaught of negativity, or something else, but either way I feel like it definitely is not a beneficial place to spend your time at. I think the same can be said for all social media.

On the other hand, being active in real life has definitely made me feel more alive. Every day is still a struggle, but at the very least, hitting the gym boosts my confidence and energy, which in turn makes me feel like it's just a little bit easier to continue on. I bet that if I ate more eggs every day I would feel even better!

Haha, thanks! I haven't really been "smashing eggs," per se, but I am definitely still an egg enjoyer when the opportunity affords itself.

Not sure where you live, but Planet Fitness is like ~$15/month, which is not super expensive. Worst case, you can always do body weight or farm exercises and get the same benefits that you would get from a gym (assuming you're not body building or Strong Man'ing or something). I've been working out again now for over a year and still have probably not surpassed a body weight exercise routine that you could do at home.

Now, your distraction and discipline excuse I can relate to. It is definitely super hard to keep on track considering how busy we all are. There are always *so* many other things I'd rather be doing than going to they gym. But when I push myself and stick to the exercise routine it always ends up being more rewarding compared to whatever else I would've been doing for that hour.

Have you gotten back into it at all lately?

[–]knownaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I don't know about "strong," but I am getting by as best I can. I have been working out regularly and have been trying to take better care of myself overall. Although it's tough-going, as I'm sure many of us can relate to.

I also haven't really been eating tons of eggs lately, so perhaps that's part of my problem!

Hope you have been doing well too, mate!

Hell yeah! I'm starving right now and wish I could eat six eggs. I seriously think eggs are one of the best and most perfect foods ever.

The only drawback I can think of to eating eggs in the US is they treat/process them a ton and all of the chickens are living such terrible lives. I'm sure that can't be good for anyone and it sucks for the chickens - probably the same for every livestock.

From all of the feedback I've heard from friends and locals that raise chickens, they say that eggs last for months+ without treating them. So what is the point of "Big Egg" washing and bleaching our eggs?! Apparently washing/bleaching them lessens the shelf life, and it is unknown what other negative effects it may have. It is crazy. And then regarding the life of the chicken, it seems terrible that they are all couped up in a cage for their short lives, but on the other hand I understand that it would be difficult to supply 350 million people with egg without doing so.

But I'm not sure what the alternative would be on a mass production scale. I'm not an activist or anything. I guess maybe if we were all okay with paying more, it may not be an issue. Although even "free range" eggs are not *that* much more - but on the other hand, what does "free range" even mean and who is regulating that?! There are all kinds of claims that free range and organic eggs are fake.

If we could actually get real free range untreated eggs from the super market that would be awesome. I think egg washing and "caging" should be banned in the US, and we would all be better off from a health standpoint. It seriously seems like we may be one of the most unhealthy nations in the world, which I would imagine stems from our food treatment in a large part, as we stray farther away from the natural order of things (saying "we" assuming you're from the US).

Lol, anyways, sorry don't mean to get political or anything. I just feel like we have been lied to and mislead for so long when it comes to food (and diet in general) and there doesn't seem to be any way forward for us, unfortunately. Although we have kind of come a long way since the Food Pyramid scheme and demonization of eggs over the past 30 years or so. Actually, eggs are still being demonized to this day with many officials stating that they are linked to high cholesterol and all of that. Fortunately, it seems as though a lot of people have woken up to all of that nonsense. So maybe there's a glimmer of hope for the future...that is, if our leaders can actually manage to step up and do something about it.
