Football and Vacuuming

Workout notes
Weights: same old, though I did a set of seated dumbbell presses with no support (6 x 40) and a standing one (10 x 40) as well as my usual 15 x 40 (supported). I had 2 sets of 9 x 125 on the incline, 10 x 135, 4 x 170, 4 x 170, 9 x 155 on the bench, 50 lb. on the pulley curl, and 6 x 160 on the lat pull down.

Swim: 5 x (25 long, 25 fist, 50 free), 10 x (25 free, 25 back) on the 1:10-1:05, then 4 x 250 (pull, free, pull, free), 200 side.

Football
While I share disgust with the Penn State pedophile scandal, when it comes to the other dark sides of football, too many harken back to an era that, well, didn’t exist. Guess what? Coaches had their players play while injured ALL of the time; look up the story of Frank Leahy telling a player with a broken nose: “well, nothing more can happen to it then. Get back in there and do some blocking”. You might look up Bear Bryant’s infamous Texas A&M practices where the players were denied things like water.

But the article did point me toward this excellent New York Times article by all pro defensive lineman Kris Jenkins. I can recommend it.

College football: The Big Ten and the SEC are very different; the Big Ten is content to be a strong but regional conference. Positioning for a national championship is secondary.

Spandex/Big Butts
Hey, these are just moms running the vacuum cleaner…while wearing spandex.
Ok, a couple of these are car vacuum cleaners…

My conclusion: these moms want to have more kids.
