I’m glad, but surprised he got a liver after his past drinking caused the issue. They won’t give a smoker a new heart or lungs, just saying I’m surprised. The threshold is 6mos sobriety, sometimes they'll make an exception. Exceptions like having the transplant performed at UH who are the Browns medical partner with the influence and backing of the Haslams behind the scenes. Who knows? I don't think the transplant operation works like you are suggesting. My basketball coach had a liver transplant there about 12-14 months ago. He wasn't anyone special.

Many prescription drugs do come with possible side effects. Some more than others. I certainly understand that you know all to well and certainly more than many of the rest of us how much that's true. The greater the risk of your illness the more the risk of side effects one is willing to take. And they take that into consideration when approving such drugs. If a human being is facing a death sentence the acceptance of the side effects is the lesser of the two evils.
By far and away most prescription drugs while they do have possible side effects, the odds are very low you will have such side effects.
But if the pubic in general ate a healthier diet they would certainly not need nearly as much medication and suffer from things quite common today such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. All of which lead to even more severe outcomes in the long term. I think the chance of having side effects are actually rather high. Not the most severe ones, but ones that do effect comfort and well being, so that users then take other products to treat those. Sadly, that's "good business." Completely healthy people don't need pharmaceutical products. It incentivizes constant medications and "acceptable" "side effects" over actually treating and fixing problems. Keeping people sick and "alive" is most profitable even if the quality of that life is poor. Unfortunately, even "whole foods" aren't necessarily healthy. All apples don't provide the same nutrition. All beef isn't fed the same way. A lot of foods are chemically treated to appear fresh rather than actually being fresh. Methods of production (and the resulting nutritional content) can be wildly different for the same variety of produce.

In the big picture the only thing that matters for the rest of this season is the play of Shedeur.
The Browns will be faced with the decision to draft a quarterback in the first round. If Shedeur convinces the team to invest in building around him.
It changes everything. If they select a quarterback then we go into next year undecided on who will start.
Shedeur has given them reason to look closely.

Get all caught up in what? What do any Minnesota officials have to do with it?
If I were you I wouldn't get caught up in all the buzz of "allegations". I mean if you bother to look around you. They still haven't found anyone foolish enough to try and bring charges against Comey again and a second grand jury refused to approve charges on again Letitia James. So far a lot of allegations have shown to be nothing but hot air.

If we can pick anywhere near what we did last draft except with the Oline, I think we'll be in really great shape heading into next season.

Only about 1.6% of all NCAA college football players are drafted into the NFL. The overall percentage who eventually play in the NFL, including those signed as undrafted free agents, remains very low, less than 2%.
The LOS of an NFL team would totally destroy the greatest college team of all time.
The difference would be similar to Ohio State playing Mayfield High school.

I don't really like Tomlin. I always felt like he benefited too much from what Cow built up before him. I think Tomlin thinks too highly of himself and because of that has become too inflexible and unable to adapt to a changing NFL.

Re: Political Jokes Pt. 4

Ripped this off from Reddit.
Title: The Second Anus
One of the foremost experts in holistic yoga and transcendental body modification was in deep concentration. He was working on achieving the ultimate position of bliss. Others had tried (and almost managed) to adopt the incredibly difficult pose but ultimately their limited flexibility and concentration let them down. Only the undisputed master of body rearrangement had any real chance of contorting into the ‘Mount Everest’ of impossible yoga positions.
After 14 long months of intensely dedicated stretches and pretzel-like practice contortions, Haru Rajnese finally managed to do what no other human being had ever done. His svelte body bent into a previously-thought impossible pose of limbs and intertwined muscle. His left arm was wrapped around his right leg. His left leg was bend around his neck and torso. His lean torso was curved backward in an unnatural, very twisted way. His right arm snaked around his neck like a menacing serpent squeezing it’s hapless prey. His contorted head was between the bend of one knee. A casual observer would’ve thought he was the unfortunate victim of a horrible industrial accident.
A large gathering of admirers and onlookers came to witness his crowning triumph. The revered yogi was silent in the incredibly complex position for many, many hours. He had systematically removed all air from his lungs in order to achieve the jaw-dropping feat. For this reason, he had to breath only once every three minutes. Speaking was utterly impossible and many of his supporters worried he might be unable to reverse the ridiculous tangled knot of human flesh and bone. Even his fingers were bent awkwardly to facilitate the noble effort.
For hours he remained stationary. The crowd murmured and grew restless. They worried he was in deep distress or incapable of asking for help untangling himself. A few of them decided it had went on for too long. They sought to ‘rescue’ him but were stopped by his assistants. To ‘help’ the guru master would be to bring unforgivable shame upon him. It would undo his greatest triumph since the point was to adopt the inhuman position, and then to return back to normal posture, unscathed. They were exhorted to be patient a little longer. Master Haru knew what he was doing. He would rather die in that tangled mass of unrecognizable body parts than ask for help in undoing it.
An audible gasp filled the crowd as a single finger began to twitch on the confusing heap of intertwined flesh before them. He was in the slow process of unwinding. Over the next three hours, the focused yogi slowly weaved himself into certain new positions, in order to return. It was the equivalent of being stuck in a ridiculously tight parking spot and having to do a multi-point turn to extract yourself. The way out was through. His mind and body were one. Bones cracked. Muscles twitched involuntarily. Joints were being asked to bend in impossible directions. It was biological madness.
For the first time in many hours, the master blinked a single time. The empty haze in his eyes drifted away. His mind was slowly returning back to consciousness. His chest heaved. There were only a few things left to reposition, for his body to return back to ‘normal’. It was spellbinding to witness but the crowd remained respectfully silent during the final stages. They had been warned that even near the end, speaking to him could break his trance and harm him. With the last few bends, he was ‘back’.
A slow wave in his muscles signified he was repairing the damage to his tissues for the abuse his body just endured. He took a dramatic deep breath and opened his eyes again. He stood before all the onlookers expressionless. To even smile at his success would be to permit pride. It would negate the entire process of self-discovery and mind over body. He even sought to excise the inner pride he felt. The gathered crowd remained respectfully silent as they had been instructed to be (by the master’s dutiful assistants).
He took a solitary, respectful bow. Soon he would retire to his modest quarters. He desperately needed to rest but before the onlookers could disperse, one impulsive young man couldn’t contain his excitement over witnessing the amazing spectacle.
He blurted out; “Master! Master! Did you learn anything from your deep exploration of the mind and body?”
The rest of the attendees at the meditation gathering were shocked by his stark breach in etiquette. They were all very curious, but only the one man failed to contain his immediate need to know. Many of those present grimaced from shame or vicarious embarrassment but the questioner remained steadfast in his desire to be answered right then.
The master made eye contact with the brazen youngster. “I would’ve shared with everyone the details of my journey (when we were together again at the temple), but since you ask now, I shall now answer. In this journey to better know the human mind and body, I just discovered there is actually a second anus on some people. Like the traditional one, it breaks wind without thought and spews forth unnecessary waste. The most surprising thing about this curious discovery is that it resides in the middle of the face. Now, I must retire. I am greatly fatigued by my meditative endeavors. Good evening all.”
And now the political joke that must be made: Trump is officially President Second Anus from now on, unless you can prove me wrong.

What is so hilarious about it all is it sounds like something a 12 year old would say. They've had since trump came down that escalator to come up with something more creative but they simply aren't capable of it. And it's obvious they aren't paying attention. If they looked at trump's Truth Social account and listened to what he says they would realize how much he mentions Biden. He's obsessed with hm. If they really insist on using such childish BS they should be saying BDS. But it's become quite typical that every accusation they launch just turns out to be an admission of what trump is doing.
