The War Room Lounge 158: In Ben Shapiro's Bed, No One Can Hear You Scream

Canadian dads need to build up a healthy lair of lard over the summer before they find a den to hibernate for the winter.

I don't know about the southern folk of America, or the effete Europeans. Their obesity is without evolutionary justification.

You need to evolve a fried twinkle into your gut and then you'll get it. Shit is delicious.

As the Patriots proved too... no lead is truly safe till the clock hits zero.

28-3... never forget.

As someone who occasionally follows international rugby, where 50 point blowouts by top teams against lower-ranked opponents are routine, this entire conversation is wild.

 

[Jesus H. Sherdog]

Why do dads get away with being lardasses?

They’re generally older? You have less time to exercise. As an old dad I’d say those are prime reasons. But nobody should get a pass imo.

American Football has some really wild underdog type wins in it.

Appalachia State over University of Michigan
Patriots coming back against the Failcans
WSU being unranked one year and using University of Oregon as a damn jizzrag

Honestly there may be a connection between the secular decline in testosterone levels in the population and higher levels of obesity.

I think the Falcons had allowed comebacks all season like that too. I never counted out Manning’s Colts or the pats in a playoff game. First half never mattered with them. Football is very different from baseball though. Way less games which is a reason I watch it. I can’t get into MLB NBA or NHL unless it’s to watch playoffs cause I’m not going to watch that many season games. That’s why MMA is great too. A lose is a big deal for any fighter cause they never go away (no season reset).

We're fed by corn, beef, and refined sugar bud. The government made that decision a long time ago.

That’s like a chicken and egg scenario, as obesity and sedentary lifestyle also lowers testosterone. So which came first?

Either way the key to changing it is diet and exercise.

I love hockey but struggle to watch the early portion of the seasons because top tier teams can come out looking flat and it's just, weird for the first month or so that way.

On the individual level, sure. But that creates more demand for those diets which the market turns into more fat people, especially poor fat people.

Good post and I didn't know that about Palmer, but I think you have command and control backwards. As I understand it, control refers to your ability to hit the locations you want to hit and command refers to the pitch doing what you want (curveball has sharp break, instead of "hanging"). If he had good command he can miss his spots and still get guys out because he rarely hung a breaking ball and his fastball had good movement, opposed to hanging a curve but hitting the spot and the pitch gets hammered. Then you have a guy like Mariano Rivera who has both and despite throwing one pitch was very difficult to hit (cutter moved and he has exceptional control).

That or I'm misinterpreting what you're saying.

Here's Keith Law explaining (and this is how I've understood it):

Keith Law: Command and control are often mentioned together, like Bert and Ernie or chocolate and peanut butter, but they aren’t the same thing. Control is simpler to define and identify, while command is nebulous and evaluating it is more subjective. Control is the ability to throw strikes, period. It says nothing about good strikes, and has little to do with intent — it’s a pitcher’s skill at executing a binary variable, strike or not-strike, across all pitches.

Command is a bigger thing, harder to define and much harder to evaluate. Command is a matter of a pitcher throwing the ball where he wants to throw it and how he wants to throw it. It’s about hitting a spot versus hitting the zone. And it’s far more likely for a pitcher to have differing levels of command across his pitches than to have differing levels of control; many teams’ scouting reports separate fastball command from command of other pitches. I tie command to a pitcher’s ability to repeat his delivery, because that kind of repetition, especially when it comes to a release point, is a major input into whether the pitcher can put the ball where he wants it and make it move (or not move) as he desires.

Here's Eno Sarris:

Command is the skill of shaping a pitch the way you’d like to, and putting it where you want, which is not always a corner of the strike zone.

Anyone in here a gun nut? I just picked up a Springfield Edge PDW and cannot wait to go shoot some paper.

Subforum full of gun nuts in the weapons and tactics sub

I feel like a fud compared to them

Honestly I'm stuck trying to figure out why anyone would have a poolboy for non-sexual purposes.

Are pools actually that hard to maintain? How lazy are people?

That's ESPECIALLY a fat dad sport. A creepy one at that.
