Rams Week

Most likely "Covid toe" is caused by diabetes that is prevalent in the more severely affected Covid victims who tend to be obese (#2 co-morbidity after age). I truly hope to see the Fed gov't, CDC, and big pharma launch a "war on obesity" which is clearly the #1 public health issue facing the US in terms of deaths, illnesses, and economic impact. Stay healthy everyone and have a great Thanksgiving!

I lost about 135 pounds in 9 months and cannot begin to tell people how much better I feel.

LaFleur on Aaron Jones: "He did a nice job out of practice [on Wednesday]. Certainly we’re gonna see how he progresses throughout the week and see how he is on Sunday."

Surprised if he's back before the bye.

Running, diet and sacrifice

Oh, I was thinking divorce.  Congratulations!

5 sets of fork downs and 3 sets of plate push aways.

They should, but part of the reason they won't is Presidential election politics. How much high-fructose corn syrup comes from Iowa? It's the same reason we subsidize the use of ethanol in gasoline.

It's not like the CDC doesn't emphasize this.

Unfortunately, someone found those lost pounds

Stay AWAY from high fructose corn syrup

My son is rail thin.

I seem to recall a recent First Lady trying to emphasize a good diet and healthy lifestyle.

135 pounds wow that’s awesome

Meanwhile, the majority of the population will be pounding 12,000 calories today and sit on their asses and wonder why they can’t lose weight?  

My metabolism slowed way down when I hit 40 so running helps offset some of the calorie intake because it can be tough to eat healthy all the time.

Sweets and sugar in particular can be tricky.  I really try to avoid the processed shit but at this time of the year it’s cookies and pies and candy galore.

It isn't. 

Hey everyone, how ‘bout the Covid/politics bullshit go to a separate thread. This one doesn’t need hijacked by any of that. Happy Thanksgiving!

Seems civil and on topic….so far

Don’t they often start that way. But the reality is, doesn’t need to soil the “Ram’s Week” thread.

I’ll trust the medical staff, but Jonesy’s knee must really be an ever so slight tear if they’re considering using him this week.

Yup, they need to be careful with all the walking wounded, this is a big game tho, home, against a real rival for playoff positioning and losing it would be losing 3 out of 4 going into the bye.  Winning may not  be necessary but after losing 2 winnable games this one looms large.

Can’t believe I heard the Packers at home are UNDERDOGS!!!!!  WTHECK?   😡 😡 😡

I like the home dogs this week.  Still haven’t lost two in a row under MLF.

Would not be surprised one bit with this being the case.

He’s trolling the media lol. They want to drag him he’s going to make them cover ridiculousness

Maybe he just likes to read the overreactions from the COVID experts on Times 4.

I intend to eat an entire Costco apple pie myself over the next 2 days.  

I don’t normally eat much sugar, but those pies will change your life.

What if any are the Ram's weak spots on defense that we can exploit?

I think with any really good and aggressive defenses you run slant plays, quick passes, and screens.  You cannot allow them to get pin their ears back and rush the QB.  The biggest worry for me is who is going to block Donald? and on defense who is going to cover Cooper Kupp?

But if you look at the Rams schedule they have beaten 5 crappy teams (Chi, Det, Hou, NYG, Sea) and got spanked back to back by TN and SF.

To me it all comes down to how well MLF has them prepared and if they can play though all of the injuries.

Trench warfare.  Mustard gas if necessary.

I love the smell of mustard gas in the morning.

Mustard was made for the hotdog!

Good information thank you

I see King is doubtful. Thankfully Robert Woods is out. Put a huge focus on Kupp.

Blitz Stafford the way the Titans did. Niners took it to them, too.

Woodson to be honored at halftime of Sunday's game vs the Rams

Unbelievable how that guy is always injured.

"Look for MLF to call quick release and short passes." And look for AR12 to screw that up wanting the home run, and taking sacks. Don't like this one at all, unfortunately.

My cousin’s son in law will sing the National Anthem at that game. I guess that means I will watch the pregame stuff.

That’s ra……….ther true.

New shoe for the snap, hold and kick?

Stay AWAY from high fructose corn syrup

Pretty much any calorie dense foods (like HFCS) should be avoided except on occasion. Processed foods (especially food at restaurants) are chemically engineered to be highly palatable and are loaded with sugar, fat and salt. The more you eat, the more you want. It's designed that way.

The best "diet" is the one you'll stick to...because at the end of the day, it's all calories in vs calories out. Low fat, Mediterranean, ketogenic, vegan, paleo, carnivore...it just doesn't matter what you do as long as you can consume the minimal amount of calories to keep you functioning.

Hats off to you, that is a monumental accomplishment.
