SLAM: Great Expectations (DFAV)

So pumped! Excited to hear that Favors is working so hard this offseason. He seems focused, and ready!

He started out the season really good last year before he got hurt. We were talking All Star early, then the injury.
If he can put together a complete season like that....
 
With the improved 3 point shot and spacing Favors is going to get 20/10 this season.
 
"Talented youngin Chris Johnson"

Yeah that almost made me stop reading right there.

Why? he is talented, he made the NBA so take in context. That is literally the only thing said about him in the entire article. It's not like they gushed about him. They called him talented. He made the NBA, he is talented.

I'd have put Hood or Exum instead of Johnson though. But it's not really that outlandish of a statement.

Yeah that's all it said. It put me on notice to stop reading if it gushed about him because then I'd know for sure the author was clueless. But, yeah, he was talented enough to make the team. Just doesn't have the critical talent to hit a shot. The one thing he really needs to do. It was just weird that the author chose to mention him.
 
Stop eating and this wouldn't be the case.

FWIW, I bet a guy in my fantasy football league tonight that I could eat a 48oz. (no bone) rib eye, drink a 32 oz. beer (I got a Fat Tire), eat a hot pepper, and eat the potatoes that accompanied the steak in under 45 minutes. I didn't have much confidence as the closest I'd probably ever gotten was 36-38 ounces but I fasted. I had last eaten at 8pm last night and dinner was at 6:15pm today.

I had nothing to lose. I wagered nothing (other than perhaps my life by having a cardiac) and he put up the $150 entry fee should I accomplish my goal.

I didn't. I was halfway done the steak about 10 minutes in, ate another 10oz along the way, and all the potatoes, and most of the beer, but I just couldn't get it done.

I bet you could have done that in college though when you ran a 4.4/

You're a Dad now. You should be thinking about your health for your little girl.
 
Doubtful. Maybe? I don't know. It's so tough. I forget if I said it too but I had just 45 minutes to do it.

Fasting was a mistake. Milk, beans or some other similar thing to keep your stomach somewhat full without actually taking up lots of actual space. After a fast you're just going to have shrunk what your system considers 'full'- maybe a few hours to clear /some/ room, but otherwise it will be a negative.

Got a nice t-shirt from Bill Johnson's Golden Apple for finishing their humongous porterhouse meal.
