@E_Dilla Give us Bowers’s some hope
I really want to rock that jersey for the next 40 years

A summary of the research paper “Long-Term Brain Structure and Cognition Following Bariatric Surgery:”

1.🧠 Improved cognition and brain structure - Bariatric surgery led to enhanced cognitive abilities and modifications in brain structure, particularly in individuals with severe obesity.
2.🏋️‍♂️ Weight loss impact - Significant weight reduction post-surgery was associated with these cognitive and structural brain improvements.
3.📉 Decrease in depressive symptoms and increase in physical activity - Participants showed fewer signs of depression and engaged in more physical activities two years after the surgery.
4.🧬 Lower inflammation markers - A decrease in inflammatory biomarkers was observed, contributing to the overall health benefits.
5.📚 Temporal cortex changes - Notably, an increase in the thickness of the temporal cortex was detected, suggesting specific brain areas might be particularly affected by obesity and its treatment.

This study underscores the broader impacts of bariatric surgery beyond weight loss, highlighting its positive effects on brain health and function.

Thoughts:💭 What’s the mechanism by increased temporal thickness ? Less obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) night time brain hypoxia ? Less systemic inflammation?

@BrettKollmann @serena_therese Jags FO really wanted CJ Spiller, but when he went at 9, Tyson was the next best thing.

@DanHicken If 16 plays well and we win, he gets a 9 digit deal. If there are ball security issues and we lose, we draft a QB to pressure him

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@DonnaDeegan really raising the Main Street Bridge - on game day?

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@DanHicken Looking like we’re heading for a clown game

@E_Dilla Beatheard time

@_John_Shipley 3rd and long has been-and may always be- a decision making issue
I see little to no improvement in 2 years

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@JVillainsPod I have heard KLC is one of the most loved guys in the locker room.

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@_John_Shipley Josh Allen earned a deal

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@BigCatCountry This whole season, about half of all Jags plays around the 35 yard line result in a turnover

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@FarabaughFB @_John_Shipley Jags have ran that route combo often this year- almost always with RB2 running decoy route- set it up on tape perfectly

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@E_Dilla All of Duval should travel somewhere and realize how badly we need a stadium upgrade. Superdome is appropriately named.

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@Ryan_DTWD @PriscoCBS Ridley is historically less effective vs press man coverage- Saints play most press man in NFL, and Lattimore one of the best at it, and there was safety over top all game
I sat him in Fantasy and I’m a notorious homer

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@PriscoCBS It appeared to me (watching from the endzone) that our DEs were not trying many speed rushes- maybe game plan to keep the screen game in check?

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@E_Dilla Show me where naked bootlegs and double moves work on 3rd and long- they don’t because Defense doesn’t go for a fake short of the sticks. 3 QB hits in the last 2 games for the same play calling flaw.

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@_John_Shipley Every time in the last 15 years I have yelled “can’t take a sack here”…

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@UCF_Jaguar He ran exclusively decoy vert routes- gassers in front of 65k- that’s next level punishment

[Steven Bowers @StevenBowersMD]

@E_Dilla @DUVAL_DOOM They were installed before last season. Water is cold and filtered.
There’s one outside every 3 gangways- so 4 East side and 4 West side per upper and lower bowls.

@Evilzorac Main street bridge has always had 2 lanes turning right onto Bay St- Chiefs game only right lane and one lane of Bay St blocked off entirely
