Gebbia in the Portal

I played small college ball and it definitely cured me of missing it when it was over. I was ready to be done and get on with life. By the time I was a senior it felt like a job. It definitely wasn't like the rah rah fun of playing with HS buddies. In any event, I'm in way better shape from an ortho perspective than my wife who has never done anything more athletic than swing a golf club. But I'm 48 and have trouble remembering names and I'm really starting wish I never played football.
This is what I’m worried about for myself in the next 10+ years. I hope you stay active and wish you great health growing older.

Not to be insensitive or a smart ass, but start taking some iodine. Over the years, all of us, because of fluoridation and all the metals in some of the foods start to have our pineal glands calcify a bit.

It's the 3rd eye, the "mind's eye."

Sorry to stick my nose in your business mg.

I'll look into it! It'll have to be the 4th eye though, I've been referring to something else as my 3rd eye for too long...

LOL.

In all honesty, it's the doorway to a higher reality. In other words, it can help to kind of uncloud things that have been weakened or suppressed by fluoride and metals that we all ingest one way or another.

Other people have names?
 
Yep!

College is a different game (not football) for those girls. For the most part, if you are associated with the college, you are fair game.

A 30 year old townie? Gross
A 30 year old TA...heck yeah!
A lot of truth to that.
 
Sometimes I wonder if people have a preconceived notion about a thread and don't read any of the replies and go right to the bottom to post something that doesn't really reflect the contents of the thread at all.

Sometimes I wonder if people can do what they claim others haven’t, and demand a thread be derailed away from the original topic. We all wonder things.
 
I had cartilage removed in 1976 due to HS sports injury and in the last few years have been limping noticeably and the knee is starting to hurt. I need a replacement soon. And that was just one surgery on one knee. I can't imagine how players who have had several surgeries on both knees and other stuff thrown in like elbows and shoulders can even function when they get my age. For me was it worth it? Looking back probably not. But then being "somebody" in HS by being in sports might have affected my life positively, so it is hard to tell if the bum knee was worth it.
Its a tough sport. I met and spoke to Dick Butkus a few years ago and asked him about his health. He just shook his head and said both of his legs had so much neuropathy that he was in constant pain. He took a beating on the field and never made close to the money guys are getting now. Very sad. Guess now guys feel the money is worth it but still.

Dick has done okay in the NIL market after football though. Loved that guy back in the day.
