Building muscle isn't easy. Even to add a few new pounds of lean mass takes hard work, dedicated eating, and the discipline to say "yes" and "no" to the right behaviors at just the right times. 

 But what if you want to take it to the next level, and achieve your maximum muscular potential? You'll need a true test of willpower, discipline, and pain tolerance—and Abel Albonetti has it. Say hello to Maximum Muscle: 9-Week Advanced Training for Gains.

 In fact, it's a "greatest hits" collection of the workouts from those series, only arranged to match the split that Abel uses in his own training. So rather than hit shoulders or chest twice a week, you'll hit it just one—but hard.

 "I'll bring lots of volume, crazy dropsets, and hit every muscle group from every angle. The pumps are unbelievable," Abel promises. 

 | Maximum Muscle: Equipment and Split | 
Every single workout in this program is unique—no repetition. That's why each workout day also comes with its own video where Abel explains exactly what to do. 

 And no, you don't need any special equipment to make this program work, but you'll use pretty much everything in a standard gym. This includes: 
- Barbells
- Dumbbells 
- Cables 
- Body weight 
- Machines (hack squat, leg press, standard upper-body pressing and pulling machines) 
- Resistance bands 
- Blood flow restriction bands 

You'll use some of these in ways you probably haven't before, so watching each day's video is a must.

Every week, you'll hit the gym 5-6 days a week, using this schedule: 
- Monday: Chest 
- Tuesday: Back 
- Wednesday: Legs 
- Thursday: Shoulders 
- Friday: Arms 
- Saturday: Legs (only weeks 1, 3, 5) 

Here's what's up with the leg programming. Weeks 1, 3, and 5, you'll perform two leg workouts: one with a quad focus on Wednesday, and one with a glute and hamstring focus on Saturday. The next Wednesday (Weeks 2, 4, and 6), you'll hit just one leg workout that will hammer the entire leg. On those weeks, you get Saturday off, or you can use it for some cardio, active rest, or to give extra attention to a different muscle group you'd like to bring up.

The Truth About Cancer Featuring: RAW RULES: When to Go Raw (Part 1) with Carol Alt and Raw Food Debate – Are Raw Fruits and Vegetables Really Good for You? By: Robin Pimentyl

Supermodel and raw food enthusiast Carol Alt shares more about the raw food diet and raw food health benefits at TTAC LIVE 2019.

We all know that you can treat disease by using food as medicine. And there is no one better to talk about this concept than supermodel Carol Alt. Carol shares her uplifting story of learning to see food as medicine, and not the enemy. In the 70s and 80s her answer for weight loss was to simply… stop eating. By the time she was 35, she had no energy, she was hypoglycemic, and she could see premature signs of aging. 

Watch the full video to find out what she did to radically change her life! Hint: it has a little something to do with raw food and all of the health benefits of raw food diet. Stay tuned for more in Part 2!

Raw Food Debate – Are Raw Fruits and Vegetables Really Good for You?

By: Robin Pimentyl Despite the fact that cooked food has its health benefits, raw food devotees compellingly believe that cooking causes damage to the inherent nutrients found in food.

A number of studies done in recent years by many but in particular by Harvard Medical School established that a high-level consumption of lycopene (a red pigment primarily found in tomatoes and other food such as papaya, pink guava, red bell pepper and watermelon) lowers the potential of cancer and heart attacks, and could in fact be a more intense antioxidant than vitamin C.

An autonomous analysis reported by Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, reveals that lycopene is in fact increased when tomotoes are heated. One particular variety of lycopene in tomatoes, cis-lycopene, increased by 35% when cooked for 30 minutes at 190.4°F (88°C). This is due to the thick walls of the fruit being destroyed by the heating process, which facilitates the body to absorb the nutrients that are bound to the fruit’s walls. One of the superior internal meat thermometer's to help you in correctly measuring the temperature of your food is the efectivCHEF Quick Read Digital Cooking Thermometer.

Steamed or boiled vegetables such as carrots, spinach, peppers, asparagus, mushrooms and cabbage also discharge more antioxidants to the body than they do when consumed raw. Whilst both steaming and boiling of zucchini, carrots and broccoli preserves antioxidants better than frying, boiling is considered to be the superior method of cooking.

Nonetheless, the disadvantage of heating vegetables is that it can destroy some of their vitamin C, seeing as it is easily degraded due to heat, oxidation and cooking in water (in fact it dissolves in water). But, the trade-off may just be worth it as vitamin C can be found in many more fruits and vegetables (such as kale, broccoli, caultiflower, oranges and carrots) than lycopene.

That said, when a few plants, especifically cruciferous vegetables for example cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage are cooked, an organic composite called Indole, is produced, which helps to destroy precancerous cells prior to them turning malignant.

So in conclusion, it's evident that it’s no easy task when comparing the benefits of raw and cooked food. There are still many ambiguities about how various molecules in plants respond with the human body. Nonetheless, the conclusion is to eat your fruit and vegetables regardless as to how they are prepared.

 I'm a wellbeing fanatic and love adventure. This passion led me to become very focused on sustaining a balanced diet. I've broadened this desire and find enormous pleasure in sharing my experiences, lessons and thoughts for more enthusiasts to benefit from, in the hope that jointly we form an improved and happier universe.

NCAA Basketball Bowie State Men's and Women's Results Vs Fayettville State

Fayetteville State Broncos Top Bowie State’s Bulldogs 70-58 in Non-Conference Matchup 

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Bowie State University dropped a non-conference contest on Monday night, as the Fayetteville State University Broncos defeated the Bulldogs 70-58. The loss dropped the Bowie State record to 10-8 overall while the Broncos improve to 15-3 on the year.

Similar to the Bulldogs' previous game against Claflin University on Saturday, both teams kept the score reasonably even throughout the first half. The most significant lead of the period didn't come until the 2:30 mark when FSU’s Jalen Seegars knocked down a 3-pointer to extend Fayetteville State's lead to 12.

Bowie State did not regain the lead the entire half, after holding it briefly near the beginning of the game. However, heading into halftime, the Bulldogs held the advantage in points in the paint (16-14) and second-chance points (7-4). Still, the Broncos held 38-29 lead at the break, as they were shooting 54 percent (15-of-28).

Coming out of halftime, the Broncos continued to extend the lead off their first-half momentum. Ty McClain scored on a layup, and Seegars connected on another shot from long distance. As Bowie State struggled to respond with a bucket on their own, the Broncos were looking at a 15-point lead after Mark Burton knocked down a jumper at the 17-minute mark.

Around the ten-minute mark, it was the same story. Seegars hit another 3-pointer, and then Will Brown converted on a slam dunk. Although the lead was as high as 17 at the time, the Bulldogs continued to fight, as Bowie State senior Rinardo Perry (Washington, D.C) converted on back-to-back layups. But again, the Broncos would respond with Darian Dixon hitting a jump shot.

Throughout the final five-minutes, the Broncos put the game away as Bowie State continued to find ways to stop them on defense. For the Bulldogs, senior Juwan Smith (Lexington Park, Md.) led the double-figure scoring attack with 15 points while fellow senior Yohance Fleming (Bowie, Md.) chipped in a personal season-best 13 points. Junior Justin Route (Washington, D.C.) and senior Saiquan Jamison (Upper Marlboro, Md.) both added eight points each in the setback.

As a team, Bowie State shot 37 percent (23-of-62) from the field, 23 percent (3-of-13) from long range and made 69 percent (9-of-13) of its free throws. Fayetteville State shot 50 percent (27-of-54) from the field, 47 percent (8-of-17) from deep, and 44 percent (8-of-18) on free throw attempts.

Bowie State returns on to host Shaw University in a conference matchup on Saturday (January 18) as part of a doubleheader. The Bulldogs and Bears will tipoff at 3 p.m.

Fayetteville State Blows Past Bowie State 74-47

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Bowie State University women’s basketball team had a night to forget after falling to Fayetteville State University 74-47 in a non-conference contest. The Broncos had three players in double-figures and were led by Katisha Hyman, who dropped 18 points in the victory. The Broncos improve to 9-7 while the Bulldogs dip to 14-2.

Bowie State senior Kyaja Williams (Baltimore, Md.) and sophomore Drew Calhoun (New Carrollton, Md.) led the team in scoring with 12 points each. Junior Talanya Hutton (Seat Pleasant, Md.) added nine points and senior Dynaisha Christian (Pocomoke, Md.) contributed seven points. Hutton and Christian were Bowie State’s rebound leaders with seven apiece.

Overall, FSU had a solid game of balance scoring with Shantel Bennett and Aminata Johnson both scoring 13 points. London Thompson added 14 huge rebounds for the Broncos as well. Fayetteville State shot a scorching hot 54.7 percent (29-of-54) from the floor while Bowie State struggled at 28.6 percent (16-of-56).

The Broncos opened the game with a 16-3 run in the first nine minutes and closed out the quarter with a 18-5 lead. FSU held a 12-2 advantage while scoring six points off Bowie State’s turnovers.

BSU would finally wake up in the second period. However, FSU would continue its dominance and led 31-16 with 5:23 remaining. The Broncos outscored the Bulldogs 12-7 to end the quarter and went into halftime with a 43-23 cushion.

Bowie State would not get closer than 15 points as the home team kept their foot on the pedal throughout the third period and maintained a 20-point lead 57-37 going into the final stanza.

It was one of those games for the Bulldogs as they couldn’t get anything going on offense. FSU extended its lead to 68-44 in the fourth period with 2:44 left to play. Nothing changed after that as Bowie State has now dropped two of its last three games.

The Bulldogs will now have five days to regroup until its next matchup at home versus Shaw University on Saturday (1/18). Tipoff is set for 1:00 p.m.

Safeguarding children and adults

By: Martin Gail

Sexual exploitation is the children and young people are increasingly recognizable in the recent years through the UK including both urban and rural areas as well as in all the parts of the world.

The vulnerable adults are the individuals aged 18 or over 18 years who needs community care service for mental health and other disabilities, illness or mental pressure where they are unable to protect themselves from harm or exploitation. Abuse is mainly the violation of human rights and civil rights by another person where there are physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, discriminatory abuse, neglect and acts of omission and material abuse. The sexual exploitation raises issues in the lives of the children and young generations who are exploited from sexual and physical harassment. Child trafficking, domestic violence, sexual violence in intimate relationship, abusive behaviour with the children and young people, drug related offences, sexual abuse, gang related activities and domestic servitude are the major reasons for which the number of children and young people is increasing rapidly across the globe.

The sexual abuse among the children and the young people further has adverse impacts on the social lives of them as well as mental health condition, education, grooming forced isolation from the society and immigration status. These are the main issues for which people are suffering throughout his or her lifetime. Sexual abuse is therefore a serious issue which has significant impacts on the life of the children as well as the young people who are abused from sexual exploitation and physical harassment. Lack of confidence and self-esteem lead to difficulties in forming relationship with others and it has direct impacts on the mental as well as physical health. Sexual exploitation is therefore serious issue which can create the feeling of worthlessness within the children and the young people and it further leads to the acts of self harm including cutting themselves, eating disorders and overdosing drugs. Apart from the children, the young generation are also suffering from different risks such as sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancy and abortion as well as reproductive health problems and HIV. They are socially isolated from the family and friends which further raise the issue of mental and physical health issues.

The incident of sexual harassment further raise the issues among both the children and young people which are suicide attempts, lack of proper food, homelessness, lack of attention of the physical health condition, stress, alcohol and drug uses, disorders and social isolation. The sexual exploitation also has impacts on the family members of the children and young people who are sexually abused. It raises consequences from the family members, parents, siblings and extended members and the impacts are on their health, working, family cohesion, social life and economic stability. In addition to these, the siblings of the children also face sexual exploitation and can be alienated and face bullying which further adversely affects self esteem of the members. Hereby, there are adverse impacts of sexual abuse among the children and the young people where the family members of the people are also suffering from mental stress. It is the responsibility of the health and social care workers to investigate the incidents taking place in the society across the world and develop crucial strategic planning to resolve the incident and groom the people properly so that they can live a better standard of living.

Everybody in the society have the rights to live with proper safety band security and lead normal lives as per their needs and preferences and in this regard safeguarding is important which means to protect the individuals who are sexually abused. Safety from the harm and protection are the basic needs and safeguarding the victims is effective to improve trust and self esteem to live better. The local agencies and health and social care workers are trying to safeguard the people who are sexually exploited and working together is the main aim of the service providers where all the team members try to cooperate with each other in order to support the exploited people with proper care and treatment. The purpose of guiding them is to identify the risk associated with sexual exploration of the young people and children and develop local prevention strategies so that they can overcome the current situation and live better lives in future. Taking action of safeguarding also aims at maximising welfare of the children and young people who are being sexually exploited. Human trafficking is one of the main issues in the recent years across the world which raises the issue of sexual exploitation and in this regard the police and health care workers try to cooperate and safeguard the people who are being sexually exploited. Through managing community support and care, following legislations and regulations of the health and social care empowering the children and the young people who are exploited sexually and inter agency collaboration, the health care providers try to improve the mental and physical health condition of the people through social support, proper treatment and quality care.

The legal framework is helpful for the health and social service providers to deliver quality care and effective treatment. In this regard, the Human Rights Act 1998 and Equality Act 2010 are same for adults and children where the social workers try to improve the rights of the individuals as well as treat all the people equally with care and proper treatment. The other legal acts for both children and young people who are suffered from sexual harassment and exploitation are discussed further.

The Health and Social Care Act 2008 is effective to safeguard the young people and Mental Health Act 2007 is also important to provide mental support to the adults which is necessary for them to overcome the trauma of sexual exploitation. In addition to these, the legal structure for children are also effective where the health care providers try to improve welfare of the children in order to help them to overcome the situation of sexual exploitation and give them rights and freedom to live better.

Work in partnership with more cooperation and maintaining transparency and managing productive manner are necessary for advance safeguarding where the health and social care providers aim at maximising the welfare of the individuals. Personalising the safeguarding service by paying attention the perspectives and current situation of the children as well as adults is also effective to identify the risks of such situation and the impacts of the situation on mental and physical health condition of the patients. The service providers also try to mainstream the safeguarding across the trust and loyalty and monitor the developing progress of the children and young people who are trying to cope up with the situation and overcome the mental and physical health condition so that they can get proper social support and live a better standard for living.

Developing learning program and conducting more research in providing safeguard to the people who are suffering from sexual exploitation is beneficial where the service workers aim at improving their professional knowledge and technical skill for counselling and diagnosing. In this regard, communication plays a crucial role in improving trust and loyalty among the victims and social service providers. Through proper interaction, the service providers can acknowledge the needs and preferences of the individuals as well as identify the current and past situation. The Local Safeguarding Children board and Local Safeguarding Adults Board are also effective to provide proper care and effective support to the individuals who are exploited by others. Internal training program is also necessary to improve team work and in this regard sharing knowledge is possible among the members so that they can deliver the best care to the individuals after proper diagnosis and counselling.

It is the rights of every human being to live free from neglect and abuse an identifying the neglect and abuse is a good system for taking effective action through which the individuals can improve their living standard and live better lives. Supportive policies and legislative structure are beneficial for the adults to cooperate with the social care workers and improve their living standard successfully. It is the responsibility of the care workers to provide proper support, guidance and advice to the adults so that they can be motivated and overcome the situation through cooperation and communication. Without isolating the adults who are sexually explicated, the staff members and care workers in the health and social care institutions need to discuss the incident of abuse and neglect of vulnerable adults with the partners in the organizations in open and transparent way so that all the members can develop effective strategy to treat the individual with effective treatment and quality care.

Maintaining confidentiality in the workplace and protecting the information of the adults are also helpful strategic planning which provides a scope to the social care workers to build strong relationship and trust among the vulnerable adults. Hereby, maintaining transparency and accountability as well as confidentiality and enhancing communication in the health care institutions are helpful to provide equality acre to the patients who cooperate with the social workers for overcoming the current situation of abuse or neglect. Providing training and development program to the staff members in the health care organization is also effective through which the management team try to improve the knowledge and understanding of the team members so that they can safeguard the adults successfully. Developing changes and providing proper care and treatment after counseling also provides a scope to the care workers to support the adults with quality care and cooperate with them through communication so that they can overcome the situation of abuse.

Working together in the workplace and building strong relationship with the adults are also other tactics for improving the standard of safeguarding the adults. Hereby, the staff members in the health and social care service are trying to maximize the welfare of the adults who are sexually exploited where both the mental and physical health are adversely affected for such abusive situation. The team members mainly aim at interacting with the adults and ensure them that their information is protected. Through this tactic, it is possible to improve trust and loyalty where the adults are willing to share their situation and health issues with the social care workers. After proper diagnosis and counseling the service providers are trying to support then mentally and provide treatment so that they can live a better life.

Proper supervision and quality care are necessary to safeguard the children who are sexually exploited as it affects the mental and physical health of the children. Responsive nature of the social workers, cooperation and flexible safeguarding are beneficial; for the workers to improve the mental and physical health condition of the children. Supporting the development of the children and monitoring the progress are necessary and the social workers are concerned about the grooming session for the children so that they can develop their mental condition and overcome the incident of sexual exploitation. Local authorities try to arrange effective training and the CARE projects are effective to support the children. Raising awareness across the world through posters and awareness campaigning also provides a scope to reduce the incident of child abuse. Supporting the young victims and strengthening the multi agency working are also important strategies to support the children and help them to lead normal life without stress, trauma and any mental pressure. Through following the legislative structure of Children Act 2004, the Local Safeguarding Children Boards (Reviews) Regulations 2013, Children School and Families Act 2010, it is possible to improve the standard of safeguarding the children. Working with the schools and educational institutions as well as supporting the families of the children mainly the parents, are necessary to take the children into normal life o that they can overcome the incident of sexual exploitation.

"A Giant Bust"

by Errol Marks | Jan 8, 2020 | General

Well the Giants are in the news today and its not because they won the lottery thats’s for sure. In the last two weeks since they fired Pat Shurmur the Giant’s decided to retain the likes of the incompetent Dave Gettleman. In that time the organization has been searching for the next coach of the New York football Giants. The Giants since the great Tom Coughlin have held a 23 and 41 record, which is one of the worst in the NFL in the last 4 years. The Giants have had more then a few mishaps in the past few years, if it wasn’t Odell Beckham causing trouble on and off the field it was Josh Brown and his domestic violence situation with his wife. The Giants organization has become the laughing stock of the NFL, taking the circus out of the Jets handbook. The Giants over the last week have interview the likes of Mike McCarthy who was the best available coach this offseason and what he do, well he sign with their arch rival the Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants believed all along that Matt Rhule was the guy for their vacant coaching position. Rhule who is a New York native was on the 2012 Giants staff with Tom Coughlin. His New York pet agree was one main reason why Gettleman thought he was a shoe in for the head coaching job. Today they found out the hard way, Rhule decided to sign with the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers made sure Rhule was signed and delivered when they flew to his home to meet with him and his family. The Giants never got the chance to interview Rhule before he signed with the Carolina, which is a colossal failure for Gettleman and the Giants organization. 

So what do the a Giants do after striking out twice, well they hire the next best guy New England Patriots wide receiver coach Joe Judge. Most people are probably wondering who the hell is Joe Judge, well your guess is as good as mine. What we do know about him is, that he has been apart of Bill Belichick coaching staff for 8 years. He has won three Super Bowl championships in his tenure with New England and has been praised by Julian Edelman for his growth as a player. Joe Judge will not be Judged quite yet, but he will be Judged on the growth of the Giants young quarterback Danny Dimes. Giants fans might see this hire as a epic failure but only time will tell on his success as the new Giants head man.

Which Tiger Will Earn Their Stripes?

by Ryan Hickey | Jan 11, 2020 | College Football, General | 0 comments

NEW YORK, N.Y.- It’s almost here. After what feels like forever and a day since the College Football Playoff semifinal games took place, the national championship is right around the corner. The best matchup we’ve seen both on paper and on the field is set to take place in New Orleans as the top ranked LSU Tigers takes on on the defending champions and third ranked Clemson Tigers. 

So which team has the edge going in? Both have identical 14-0 records and have star power all over the field. Below are three keys for each team on how they can leave New Orleans hoisting the championship trophy.    

Three Keys To A LSU Win:

Touchdowns, Not Field Goals: Watching the Fiesta Bowl easily hammers home this point. Ohio State moved the ball up and down the field against Clemson, but continuously settled for field goals, which kept Clemson around. LSU has to score touchdowns once they get inside the 20, which hasn’t been a problem for them this season. LSU has been deadly in the red zone, owning the most efficient red zone offense in the country, scoring at a 97% clip. The Tigers have entered the red zone 70 times, scoring a touchdown 55 times. This is a trend that must continue, especially considering that LSU has already faced three teams with a better red zone defense than Clemson, which is tied for 16th in the country. Red zone efficiency will be a huge key to this game and is a category that favors LSU.

Defensive Confidence: Throughout the year, the Tigers defense has been a question mark and left many, including myself, believing that the defense was holding them back from being a championship level team. Things have changed as LSU has shored up their defense. A big reason for that has been availability, as safety Grant Delpit recovered from an ankle injury, K’Lavon Chaisson is back to 100% and Michael Divinity Jr. will return from suspension to suit up for the Tigers. The narrative has changed dramatically as since the Ole Miss game, where significant doubts that the defense would hold LSU back from winning a national title, the Tigers have allowed just 270.2 yards per game and 14.2 points per game. The Tigers aced their biggest test of the season, holding a potent Oklahoma offense to 200 fewer yards and almost two touchdowns less than their per-game average. The defense is playing with an extreme confidence that will carry into Monday’s game. 

Feed Clyde Edwards-Helaire: The “do it all” back has been virtually unstoppable this season. The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman wrote a great article this week, asking coaches who faced LSU this season how their offense has been so unstoppable. Aside from Burrow, the coaches highlighted Edwards-Helaire as who gives defenses the most problems. The junior running back has rushed for 1,304 yards while adding 50 catches for 399 yards and 17 total touchdowns. Edward-Helaire is a matchup nightmare as he’s a bruiser between the tackles, can speed past linebackers in coverage, run over the cornerbacks who try to tackle him and juke past the safeties that try to corral him. The premier running back should be close to full health after injuring his hamstring in practice leading up to the semifinal game against Oklahoma. If he’s in the mix early and often, it could be a frustrating night for Clemson. 

Three Keys To A Clemson Win:​

Complete Effort: While LSU has played both elite offenses and defenses at different points this season, they have yet to face a team that has both an elite offense and defense. Clemson poses that challenge as their defense is tied for first in the nation in yards per play allowed while the Clemson offense is third in total offense. This balance can put pressure on LSU like they’ve never experienced this season. The best defense against Burrow this season has been offense. While not their specialty, long drives by Clemson can not only can keep the potent LSU offense off the field, but wear down their defense to open up some big plays in the second half. While LSU is more battle tested this season, Clemson has the advantage coming out of that Ohio State game of knowing what it takes to win a game in which all three phases are needed to perform at their highest level. 

Flex Offensive Firepower: Did we all forget that this is the same Clemson offense that shredded Notre Dame and Alabama for a combined 1,020 yards and 74 points in the two Playoff games last year? For all of the hype and attention Burrow and this LSU offense has received, let’s not sleep on this juggernaut of an offense that resides in South Carolina. The Tigers rank third in the country in total yards, fourth in scoring offense and 11th in rushing offense. They have superstars at every level offensively as Trevor Lawrence is the presumed number one pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Travis Etienne leads the nation at eight yards per carry while both Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross are legitimate No. 1 receivers. LSU has only faced one offense similar to Clemson’s in Alabama and allowed 41 points. LSU has elite offensive talent, but Clemson has a real chance to give the Tigers a taste of their own medicine and put on an offensive explosion in the Superdome. 

Ride The Underdog Wave: Speaking of the Superdome, this national championship game will have a totally different feel than most because of its close proximity to LSU’s campus. Located just over an hour away, New Orleans will be flooded with fans clad in purple and gold. No coach has worked the underdog role more than Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. Dabo lives to be the underdog and has “Little Ol’ Clemson” playing their best when they have a chip on their shoulder. Already underdogs in terms of the betting line and essentially playing a road game in New Orleans, Dabo gets to fire up the disrespect card one last time this season. 

So Who Gets It Done?

The storybook season for Joe Burrow and LSU is leading me to believe more and more that Monday night in New Orleans will be a coronation for the Tigers. I mean even Hollywood couldn’t even write this script of an Ohio kid transferring in and after a decent first year teams up with a young passing game coordinator to produce the single greatest college football season we’ve ever seen from a player and possibly even a team if they can finish the job. 

What’s made me a believer isn’t Burrow or passing coordinator Joe Brady, but the LSU defense steadily improving and peaking at the right time. This combination of a historic offense coupled with a confident defense is enough for me to drink the kool-aid and believe that LSU will get it done Monday night.

Performance of the Decade

by Tyler Harrison | Jan 3, 2020 | General

Sitting here looking back at all the amazing, improbable and historic sports moments over the past decade it’s normally very hard for one of them to stand head and shoulders above the rest. This decade does not have this problem. On February 5th 2017 live on Fox from NRG Stadium in Houston we saw this moment unfold right in front of us all. The 14-2 New England Patriots took the field to take on the 11-5 Atlanta Falcons. The Super Bowl was driven by star power Atlanta Quarterback Matt Ryan was coming off his MVP season. All Decade Wide Receiver Julio Jones also with Mohamed Sanu Taylor Gabriel and Austin Hooper. Along with super running back committee Devonta Freeman and Telvin Coleman. Plus young elite defensive stars Dion Jones, Keanu Neal and Grady Jarret. That’s just one side of the equation. 

Patriots were led by All-Century Quarterback Tom Brady and all world coach Bill Belichick. Along with stars Julian Edleman, James White and Danny Amendola. Dont’a Hightower and Trey Flowers led the Patriots defense. All football fans alike were expecting a great football game. Even with Rob Gronkowski out for the game due to injury, and Pro Bowl Cornerback Malcolm Butler being benched the night before, no one could count out the Patriots and the Falcons had an offense that was as hot as any team the Patriots had faced all year. 

The game even started out slow. Game was tied at 0-0 after the 1st quarter. Then the game looked as lopsided as it could be. Atlanta would out score New England 21-3 to end the half, icing on the cake being a Robert Alford 82 yard interception returned the other way for a commanding 21-0 lead. New England would get a Field Goal as time expired to cut the lead to 21-3. 

After a Telvin Coleman rushing touchdown and the 28-3 score with about 8 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, I had waved the white flag it was over. Tom Brady would answer with a meaningless touchdown drive, after a missed extra point at 28-9 just seemed like Atlanta was walking to a Super Bowl 51 victory. Until Tom Brady being the G.O.A.T went from arguable, to just an unstated fact. The Patriots would go on to outscore Atlanta 25-0. The play of the game being the once in a lifetime trick/luck catch by Julian Edleman. 

James White would end the Super Bowl with a rushing Touchdown to force overtime and win the game in overtime. Tom Brady would end the game with Super Bowl ring #5 with Coach Belichick. The game was Brady’s greatest accomplishment. Since then Brady has added a 6th Super Bowl and has now passed Peyton Manning for 2nd on the Touchdown list all time. All the greats have “THAT” moment. Montana has “The Catch”, Elway has “The Drive.” “28-3” is the moment of the decade not because of the game itself, but because Tom Brady became not only the Athlete of the decade, but the Greatest Quarterback of all time.

Three Franchises, One Man

by Tyler Harrison | Dec 13, 2019 | General

It’s often mentioned how the National Football League, is now centered around the Quarterback and how having a franchise QB will lift the team from the depths of hell to storied success unmatched by the likes of anything we’ve ever seen. I personally believe Defense will win you championships, but there is no denying that the new shiny toy is a franchise QB. Look at the talent the past several years. Tom Brady, Brett Farve, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck. Now we have young faces such as Patrick Mahomes, Carson Wentz, Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson and Jared Geoff being the next phase of QB. But through all of these names I have left one off intentionally to see if we get the same reaction. Everyone take a second to read the list again…you probably didn’t but that’s fine…the name off the list I left off intentionally because he alone has changed not one or two but three franchises. Forever. This man? Drafted out of Purdue in the 2nd round…this man is Drew Brees. Hopefully you had one of two reactions, 1 “Oh Yeah” ( to which I must say “HOW”) or two “Dummy Drew Brees only played for 2 teams” to which I respond yes!! You’re 110% right. Drew Brees drafted by then San Diego, now Los Angeles Chargers, and then signed with the New Orleans Saints but the 3rd Franchise maybe not as well known is the Miami Dolphins. And the backstory behind this was a lot to do with Chargers QB and future HOFer Phillip Rivers.

To no fault of Rivers he was a first round draft pick, traded for #1 overall pick Eli Manning, from the New York Giants. Rivers sat his rookie year behind Brees and fan favorite Doug Floutie. Then Head Coach of the Chargers Marty Schottenheimer and General Manager A.J Smith were at war on who should start. Smith in the corner of new and young Phillip Rivers. Schottenheimer in favor of reliable Brees. Brees went on to win 9 games in 2005. In week 17 of a game that meant nothing to the Chargers they would proceed to play Brees where he would injure his shoulder on the final game of the year. Leaving his career and the NFL in limbo. Was Rivers going to be the right choice? Was Rivers the safer option? The Chargers had pieces in place. Rivers first full season under center the team went on to go 14-2. Large part to Hall of Fame running back Ladainian Tomlinson having possible the greatest season ever for a running back. 

But would lose their first playoff game. Ending the Schottenheimer era. And bringing the Norv Turner era to a start. Under Rivers the Chargers have gone as of the writing 122-98 in games he’s played. He’s thrown 58.090 yards 391 Touchdowns to a 193 interceptions with a rating of 95.1. He’s had 27 4th quarter comebacks, and 32 game winning drives. He’s also made 8 pro bowls. 

In a conference that has Peyton Manning Tom Brady and Big Ben that’s impressive. Great numbers. Brees during this span however has Rivers beat in all these stats. And you have to wonder more importantly if maybe the Chargers regret drafting Rivers. No fault of his own. But keeping Brees, LT with Schottenheimer and drafting future no doubt Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald or Phenomenal Safety Sean Taylor would have the Chargers with a future Super Bowl Trophies in their display case instead of relocating to Los Angeles with nothing to brag about. The Chargers however are not the worst offender. 

The most serious violation was committed by the Miami Dolphins. An organization known for being manic and poorly run. Seemed like they had found their marbles in the offseason of 2005. They had flown Drew Brees down and seemed as if they were going to sign Brees until they saw something in his physical they didn’t like. The reason I say they receive the most blame for not signing Brees. Everyone passed on Brees once in the 2001 draft before the 32nd overall pick was selected. However the reason they passed on Brees was well very Dolphin like. They wanted touted corner Jamar Fletcher, ended up playing 3 seasons in Miami. And they also did not think Brees was a significant upgrade over Jay Fiedler. And the biggest reason was former coach Dave Wannstedt wanted QB Josh Heupel. And they believed he would be available much later in the draft. Which he was and was taken in the 6th round. Heupel was a Heisman runner up from Oklahoma. Dolphins then VP Rick Spielman before the draft said “at least 3 people on our staff have seen every snap in his career.” Spielman would tell the Miami Herald after the draft “We thought Drew would be an upgrade over Jay.” “But we don’t think he is that much better. We feel good about Jay. Plus we think we really upgraded our secondary with Jamar.” And again this is why they are the Dolphins. Here’s the list of QB’s Miami has had since Brees went on to sign in New Orleans. Ready.. Dante Culpepper, Trent Green, Chad Pennington, Chad Henne, Matt Moore, Ryan Tannehill, Jay Cutler and now Ryan Fitzpatrick. Miami is currently “Tanking for Tua” however you have to wonder with past QB evaluations are the Dolphins going to pick the right one? It’s been a long time since they drafted Dan Marino. And Miami fans certainly would have loved Drew Brees leading the fins. Not only that but this move most likely keeps Nick Saban in Miami instead of going to Alabama and starting a dynasty. So we could have had 10+ years of Belichick and Brady against Saban and Brees. Selfishly I must admit writing this makes me angry. Damn you Dolphins! Damn you!! Not to mention your team record during this time is a disheartening 93-131. Yay! Miami! 

Obviously we know who ended up with Brees and how it’s working out. Drew Brees paired up with Sean Payton and Tom Benson and rejuvenated the city of New Orleans. Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Jimmy Graham all benefited playing alongside #9. Brees and Payton have gone 130-82 together. Brees has thrown for 63,880 yards and counting. 452 touchdowns to 184 ints. That gives him a rating of 100.7 30 4th Quarter comebacks and 41 game winning drives. He’s gone to 11 pro bowls, 1 all pro and 1 super bowl championship. Brees is now the league leader in passing yards all-time. He also has several additional records. Most 5,000 yard seasons (2008, 2011-2013, 2016). Most consecutive 4,000 seasons (2006-2017). Also has the best completion percentage all time (67.3) and for a season (74.4). More amazingly Brees has 5 of the top 6 best completion percentages of all time! Safe to say Nick Saban, Miami, and maybe the Chargers regret not signing the Boilermaker. However Brees did end up in New Orleans, and it’s been a fun ride, one that will end with him and Sean Payton together, not just in NOLA, but also in Canton, Ohio. The NFL Hall of Fame. Not bad for a guy who had obstacle after obstacle in his way. Guess you can say his career has been, oh I don’t know. Maybe? A Brees.

Mr. Cooperstown

by Tyler Harrison | Nov 27, 2019 | General

The day was September 28th 2014. The location was Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. The Red Sox fans were on their feet and giving a standing ovation for a farewell for the ages. I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right, this was not David Ortiz’s final game. It was however Derek Jeters. That’s right, a Yankee, hated rival, after 20 seasons of being public enemy number 1, had become, for a day at-least one of their own. He only had 2 at-bats, 1 hit for an rbi. As a DH. But when he was pulled time stopped, and Boston rewarded their arch foe…with that’s right a standing. We didn’t know how often we would see Derek Jeter after that day, but we could bet on at least two more appearances. One is when the Yankees induct him into monument park alongside other Yankee legends. The other is when Jeter would be inducted into Cooperstown, the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. To my surprise, this notion has been challenged quite a bit, and even throughout Jeter’s career, he has been met with a lot of skepticism and judgement. 

It started back in 1992, when the Yankees drafted Jeter 6th overall. Many scouts had doubted Jeter’s ability to play in the pros. Jeter was drafted behind Phil Nevin, now a yankee bench coach, Paul Sheuy, B.J Wallace, Jeffrey Hammonds and Chad Mottola. Jeter was scouted by Dick Groch, when told he signed a “good player” Groch would respond “No, I signed a Franchise.” But what makes Jeter so special? Hmm let’s do this one step at a time.

On May 29th 1995 Jeter would debut against the Seattle Mariners, he would go 0-5. He’d play 14 more games after that, with the Yankees finally making the playoffs and being knocked out, ironically by the same Mariners. It also ended an era. Don Mattingly was retiring after a long and memorable career. But the team needed a shift. They needed a leader. They needed a young kid, from Kalamazoo, Michigan. They had guys already there with talent. Guys like John Wettland, Bernie Williams and Paul O’Neil. Yankees would also have a huge fusion of youth. Along with Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, and Jorge Posada would also come up and help take the Yankees to the next level. However in 1996 only one of them won Rookie of the Year. That season Jeter went on to win the ROY award by hitting .314 with a 183 hits and 10 home runs with 78 RBI’s. Jeter would also go on to make his first All-Star Game, he would hit .324 that season finish with 203 hits 19 home-runs and 84 RBI’s. Also led the American League in runs with 127. And led the Yankees to a World Series title. He would also finish that season 3rd in the MVP voting, 1999 was much of the same another year another All-Star appearance, and another World Series title. This year however Jeter would lead the league in hits with 219 and hit a career high .349. Also a career high in home runs with 24 and rbis with 102 … as a lead off man…let this sink in, if that didn’t make you nod your head in appreciation there’s something wrong! 

In 2000 Jeter repeated this same success, All-Star Game, World Series crown, 200 hits, .339 average. This season also saw Jeter make history. As the first player to win the World Series MVP and All-Star game MVP. 2000’s season will be highlighted by his lead off home run against cross town rival, the New York Mets Bobby Jones, which would kill all momentum for the Mets. However Jeter’s greatest highlights would start adding a different nickname. 

Jeter would make the all star game again in 2001, he would also end that season hitting .311 21 home runs and 74 rbis’s. But this is where Jeters’s playoff resume begins to add to his legacy. On October 13th, in Oakland in a pivotal game. Shane Spencer’s throw from the right field wall missed cut off man, Tino Martinez. Normally that ball would bounce an extra 3 or 4 hops and then roll to Jorge Posada. Luckily enough Derek Jeter on this day executed one of the smartest baseball plays ever made. We now call it “The Flip.” 

2001 however during all of this time was bittersweet. On September 11th America would be attacked by a terrorist group, known as Al Qaeda. 2 Air planes would be flown right into both trade centers in the middle of New York City. The country was mourning, New York was mourning just a little more. Families lost loved ones, friends were gone. Rightfully all major sports organizations stopped. Everything stopped. Just a month later. In the biggest stage of them all Derek Jeter once again made history. First major league game ever played in the month of November. First pitch he saw, hit it over the fence. Crowning him Mr.November. Yankeee would go on to lose that World Series to the Arizona Diamondbacks. But that moment lives on and Jeter even for a day made not just Yankee fans, or baseball fans forget what they were mourning. But all of America. It was a national sign that “Hey, were gonna get through this.” 

Jeter would continue to make all star and post season appearances from 2002 to 2006. In what I believe to be his best season in 06, Jeter hit .343 had 214 hits 14 Home Runs and 97 RBI’s. He would finish 2nd in voting for the MVP. He would also win another World Series title in 2009. Making his grand total 5. He would make 14 All-Star games in total and would finish 6th all time on career hits with 3,465. Ranks first among shortstops, also won 5 Gold Gloves, 5th most by a shortstop. Postseason rankings are all outstanding. All time leader in postseason games (158), at bats (650), runs (111), hits (200) total bases (302), doubles (32). Jeter is also T-5th in triples, 3rd in home runs (20), 4th in RBI’s (61) and 6th in stolen bases (18th). These stats alone make Jeter an undisputed 1st ballot Hall of Famer.

However Derek Jeter’s true legend, and career is defined in one word, “Captain.” Derek Jeter was announced the Yankee captain on June 3rd 2003, after Don Mattingly retired in 1995. Derek Jeter always played the game with a passion, and leadership that the team could not help but follow. His guidance and thrill for the big moment never went away, whether it was running into the stands to catch a blooper against the Boston Redsox, bloodying up his face. Or whether it was coming back and getting hit number 3000 on a home run on a “Jetertarian” swing. Or maybe it’s getting a walk off hit on his final game at Yankee stadium. 

What’s my favorite Jeter moment? There’s two actually. The first one was the last home game of the old Yankee Stadium. Jeter gave a speech telling the fans of New York that he wants us to continue the honor and tradition of the Yankees across the street. The most recent was his final game at Yankee Stadium, after the game he walked out to shortstop where he stood for 19 seasons before, and just soaked in what he loved. The game, the Yankees and most importantly us! No matter the obstacles Jeter overcame them all in New York. Jeter has had a lot of nicknames over the years, DJ, Captain, Captain Clutch, Mr.November…eh all sound kind of over used. I do have a new one..Mr.Cooperstown. Thanks for the memories Jete!
