I understand that it’s not my money, but I’m struggling to understand why all teams don’t go crazy buying insurance.

There’s a hard cap each year ($255 million) and each team shares revenue from tv and merch (~$400 million).

For a 53 man roster, you could pay an extra $75 mil at the most to get several million in extra available cap space the following year. That could mean the difference in being able to upgrade a couple crucial positions and making a run at the Super Bowl.

Once again, it’s not my money, but if you wanted to win at all costs, this would be a pretty effective way to do it.

As with many things nutrition related, there’s often not a direct line between the contents of a food and the resulting concentration in our blood stream. Foods with cholesterol do not directly cause high cholesterol in the blood it’s the same with purines and uric acid.

Speaking as someone who has/had gout, my weight and how much sugar I eat is really the only thing that correlates with my uric acid results.

I’ve eaten 70g of lentils and 170g of cauliflower for breakfast everyday, 100g of spinach for lunch, and often asparagus and/or broccoli for dinner. Apparently these are veggies that are high in purines and “should” result in a raised uric acid level, but I’ve actually seen my levels reduced. A study can be found here.

If your family is concerned about uric acid (which is valid as high levels can lead to adverse health outcomes), I’d recommend getting a blood test and seeing what your levels are actually at and what foods actually drive that number in you.

I hope he has success. He was great under Vic Fangio his first year or 2, then fell off a cliff and was hot garbage for the rest.

I like this scatter plot. If you really want to get freaky with it, you should take into account the “protein digestibility-corrected amino acid scores.” Things like eggs and whey are 100%, beans are usually in the high 70’s, and peanuts are actually down at near 50%.

So for nutrition’s sake, not all protein sources are created equal, and it makes sense that if you are trying to get adequate protein at the lowest price, you also want to get sources where you can eat the least of it to satisfy the protein requirements of your body.

Yea I feel like a lot of these came from friends or other sources, and not necessarily from school.
