*** When I was in my 20's and 30's the discussions around the gym used to be: "What you working today?", "How much you benching?", "You see the ass on that broad?"... Now more and more I'm hearing "What's you blood pressure like?", "What's your resting heart rate?, "What's your cholesterol level?"

*** Let's flashback to the days of the already quite studly 16 year old HB
Way back in the day, our entire LB group got together during summer two a days and got both ears pierced which in those days wasn't as common as it is now... Our LB coach who seemed real old to us back then but actually was only in his early 30's took one look at us and ran our ass for two solid hours... 100 yard Bear Crawls, suicide sprints, that stupid train run where you run around the track in a line and the last guy has to continually sprint to the front... You name it, and he did it to us all the while cussing us "ladies" out... None of us could figure out why he was so pissed with it, but we damn sure lost the earrings before the next practice...
Fast forward into the future where our quite studly HB is temporarily (hopefully) filling in as LB coach for a friend going through some stuff... Last week the LB's all showed up at practice with that fag Jersey Shore waxed and shaped ear brow look...
I found myself quite angry and I ran their asses hard the whole day... After practice, several of the fathers approached me looking a little pissed off... I was thinking here we go again, I'm going to get in trouble for telling a parent to piss off... They asked me WTF was going on and why I just ran them instead of running them through drills where they'd learn something... I told them, "It was the eyebrows that pissed me off".... They started laughing and told me how they wanted to jack the boys up when they came home like that... They told me to run them everyday till the brows grew back to normal with their blessing... I settled for giving them all a girls name instead...
I guess having grown up during the fashion disaster that was 80's, I should have been more sympathetic, though unlike Turk, Nips and Natty (Parachute pants, Flock of Seagulls doo) I had managed to nimbly sidestep most of the embarrassment...
I called my old LB coach up after practice and told him "I finally really get it.... I know why you were so pissed off back then"... He started cracking up and then proceeded to cuss me out for 10 minutes for a play I messed up back in high school that almost cost us a game... Dude still scares the piss out of me...
*** We've had some epic surf here this summer and my daughter has me taking her out on dawn patrol pretty regular.... Frankly I am a nervous wreck watching her... She's already better than I was in the water at that age, but it scares the shit out of me that my pre-teen daughter is out there charging hard... Wish she'd stick to softball before her old man strokes out...
*** I've seen the movie Kangaroo Jack a million times already because my 5 year old son always wants to watch it... I'm starting to wonder if the little bastard is about the Kangaroo or is already about checking out Estella Warren...
*** Sad news about James Gandolfini, but I'm going to miss Vince Flynn more... I look forward all year for his new book release...
*** Yasiel Puig = the real deal
*** 10 non Raider NFL thoughts
1) The Rams defense
I really, really love what the Rams are doing as far as piecing together their defense... Love as in "They'll have the best front 7 in football by years end", love... If they get their safety spots straightened out, watch out... It's tough being in the same division with Bones' Seahags and the Niners, but it won't surprise me if this team makes a hard run at the playoffs...
2) In a few years I think people will be talking about Thomas Dimitroff and Les Snead being the elite GM's in the NFL
3) Dustin Keller
With the New England TE's having their own problems, I think Dustin Keller is going to step up and be the Pro Bowl TE to deal with in the AFC... He'll look real smart for deciding to play on a one year prove it deal this year when he is cashing that 2014 FA check...
4) Carson Palmer
I think Carson Palmer is going to have a very good season for Arizona... It's a perfect match with a good coach that will play to his strengths in a good vertical scheme... I think Fitz will put up the same kind of numbers he did in 2007-2009 with Warner throwing it...
5) Da Bears
Speaking of QB's people love to hate, I think Jay Cutler is going to take that next step as a QB under Trestman and Aaron Kromer... It sounds strange, but I think the Bears will have a dangerous offense with those coaches, Cutler at QB and good skill position matches for Trestman's system... Forte and Bush are going to catch a shitload of balls...
6) Team on the Rise: Carolina
These guys start to put everything together and make a strong run at Atlanta with 10+ wins
Team on the Decline: Green Bay
I don't think they are in any danger of challenging us for the 1st pick in the draft, but I can see them having to scratch out an 8-8 season... Aaron Rodgers carried them last year, but their division got better and I think the league starts catching up to that O...
7) Talented team in need of a better coach: Dallas Cowboys
Talented coach in need of a better team: Rex Ryan
8) Young, breakout player with a Pro Bowl year:
Offense, Cecil Shorts
Defense. Corey Liuget
9) Gut feeling: Russell Wilson comes back to Earth while Sam Bradford's rocket takes off
10) When it comes to the 2014 draft, defensively everybody is talking about Jadeveon Clowney, and rightly so... but man are things stacking up well for 34 defense teams that will be drafting in the top 15 with Morgan Breslin/Kyle Van Noy/ Anthony Barr/Adrian Hubbard... Nobody is really talking about Breslin, but I think there will be some Clay Matthews comparisons with Breslin moving to a stand up role this year...
