I understand that it’s not my money, but I’m struggling to understand why all teams don’t go crazy buying insurance.
There’s a hard cap each year ($255 million) and each team shares revenue from tv and merch (~$400 million).
For a 53 man roster, you could pay an extra $75 mil at the most to get several million in extra available cap space the following year. That could mean the difference in being able to upgrade a couple crucial positions and making a run at the Super Bowl.
Once again, it’s not my money, but if you wanted to win at all costs, this would be a pretty effective way to do it.
Andy Galpin has some interesting suggestions to reduce DOMS.
-
5-10 minutes of deep breathing after your workout. He says it’s very important to bring your body back to baseline after a tough workout. Spending a few minutes doing 5 second inhale, 5 second exhales will help.
-
Compression clothing. Wearing tight fitting clothing on the affected muscles is shown to reduce soreness or limit the duration of DOMS. Not a panacea but can help a little.
-
Believe it or not, static stretching a sore muscle can actually exacerbate DOMS. It’s better to do very light exercise to get that muscle moving and circulating blood flow instead. Stretching is important, but maybe do it immediately after a workout or on another day instead.
I still get DOMS when I try a new workout, but I have seen these things improve my recovery around the margins.
I hope he has success. He was great under Vic Fangio his first year or 2, then fell off a cliff and was hot garbage for the rest.
This appears to be related to the same Snowflake breach that compromised Ticketmaster. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about more companies impacted by this.
Agreed, but living through the 2016 years, I did see how a groundswell of public opinion can sway the priorities of congress. It just takes a lot of people pushing.
The president absolutely should be beating the drum on these things. But I guess I’m focused on the levers that we as citizens can pull to avoid that feeling of powerlessness.
These ProPublica reports need to be shared almost as much as project 2025. It’s horrible blatant corruption that needs a light shone on it. And the message is clear, another 4 years of Donald Trump could land us up to 3 more justices just like this. We’d be digging a hole we’d be stuck in for the next 40 years.
This also begs the question of what do we do about Thomas? Unfortunately with a republican majority in congress, they’d have to see him as so toxic to their election that they’d have to make the choice to remove him (less than 0% chance). That leaves us with only one option: vote vote vote! This isn’t just a Trump Biden election. This is for the ability to hold people accountable using congress and the senate too.
And let’s say we see a blue wave and we have enough to begin impeachment process against Thomas and/or Alito. Our job isn’t done then either. We need to raise hell with our representatives in government to make sure they know that it’s unacceptable to have such blatant corruption in our courts and that holding them accountable should be one of the highest priorities. That’s the only way (within our system) to start making change happen. It’s slow and frustrating at times, and it requires a constant commitment, but it still is possible when our reps feel enough pressure.
