@RossTuckerPod @AndrewBrandt 53 players on an NFL roster vs. 15 for NBA (not including practice squad/two-way players). Different wealth distribution between the two sports.

What the Republicans/Conservatives don't seem to understand or admit, is that with their tolerance of massive Presidential corruption and their huge expansion of Presidential power, they are setting the stage for the most powerful and extreme, left-wing President in US history.

@CoachDanGo Are fermented foods such as sauerkraut an exception to this rule? Asking for a friend. ;)

[Chris Christie @GovChristie]

President Trump has gone from America First to Iran First.

He stopped the war early, got cornered when Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, and cut a deal: a $300 billion bribe, unfrozen assets, and their oil profits back. Then he handed negotiations to a naive Vice President and guys who'd be better off buying you an office building in Alexandria.

This was the day the pool floor started peeling. I just can’t imagine what caused it. 🙄

So proud of Chase, great athlete and even better kid. He has a very special athletic gift that combined with his work ethic put him on a different level. Can't wait to see what his future holds. Wolfpack for life!

[Dean Phillips @deanbphillips]

Hard to believe the “deal” being circulated is legitimate and has been signed by President Trump.

If true, it will rank among the most consequential and costly strategic blunders in recent history.

A Coalition of 44 Countries have signed on to a resolution requesting that the United States attack them also. Because they could use the money.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

Lutnick: "Serving in the cabinet of Donald Trump is the greatest honor of a lifetime. As his commerce secretary, my job is to bring in investment, and we brought in $18 trillion."

(The $18 trillion figure is made up -- the entire GDP of America is about $32 trillion.)

@jaypo1961 This is hilarious. 😂

Reupping:
"Those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice."
---Trump on 1/13/21, after the House impeached him but before the Senate had voted on whether to convict.

Fantastic post, @CoachDanGo

I went on a quick trip to Japan, and I'm convinced we've been thinking about fitness completely wrong.

Japan's obesity rate is 6%.
America's is 43%.

It's not a gap, it's a completely different way of living and it has nothing to do with the gym.

Here's what I actually saw:

1. They walk everywhere.

Not for exercise. For life. Train station to office. Office to lunch. Lunch back to the office. My phone tracked 15,000 steps on a day I didn't "work out" once.

In the US, people drive to a gym to walk on a treadmill. Then drive home. 2,000 steps total outside the gym.

2. Their food is real.

I ate out every single meal for two weeks. Fish. Rice. Vegetables. Fermented sides. Small portions on small plates.

No 74 ingredient label on a bag of bread. No "healthy" granola bars with more sugar than a candy bar.

3. Being lean is the cultural standard.

In Japan, if you're gaining weight, someone will tell you. Your coworker. Your mother. Your doctor. It's not considered rude. It's considered caring.

They also teach healthy eating in grade school as a compulsory course.

In the West, we've made it uncomfortable to even talk about weight. So nobody says anything until it's a medical emergency. This does not even mention the damage body positivity has done.

The pattern across every lean country on this list is the same:

Movement is built into daily life.
Food is simple and unprocessed.
The culture doesn't normalize being overweight.

And if you can't move to Tokyo, you can build your own version:

- Walk more than you drive.
- Eat food without a barcode.
- Surround yourself with people who take health seriously.

Your ZIP code doesn't have to be your destiny. You can create Japan where you're at with the right habits.

@THEbadgermaniac I said this at the time of the trade, it turned out even worse than I expected.

@CoachDanGo Knowing Mandarin would would probably help. 😉

@CoachDanGo No matter how much water I drink, creatine dehydrates me too much and gives me headaches. Wasn’t worth the benefits trade off.

[Jason Meyer @jaymeyer20]

I had just told my wife the same thing.

[Heath Mayo @HeathMayo]

Levying tariffs on all of our allies and threatening to invade Greenland was self-harm on its own, but particularly dumb chess play now that we need them to help us defend the Strait of Hormuz and stave off a global energy crisis.

[Jason Meyer @jaymeyer20]

@zachkruse2 Outside of Hobbs & Gary, who else?

[Heath Mayo @HeathMayo]

I’m a hawk on Iran. I’m glad we took out Khamenei and the other leadership. It was a long time coming. But nothing the administration has said in the 72 hours since beginning this campaign has convinced me they had or have a clearly defined strategy or endgame for this conflict. Hegseth beating his chest this morning with the tough guy ra-ra speech and partisan attacks on the press and Trump randomly calling 10 reporters with 10 different reasons for the strikes makes it extremely difficult to believe the requisite amount of thought and preparation went into this. If the strategy is as haphazard as their statements sound, each additional day will lay that bare.

Praying for our country and the world in hopes that these events don’t spiral out of control.
