Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The secret is to try not to look directly at the posts while reading them.

I'm sure Janitorial work can be tough... It's an honest living though. Keep pushing!

I could, of course go on in this vein, but I do not want to cheapen the addiction thread with a bunch of trashy sex talk.

Bears will dump Michael Bush. Good move. Lost out on Martellus' brother, who took less to stay in Seattle.

Bears should pay McCown.

Excellent study.

The vet said my dog still having his stuff and not using it enough was a contributor to his prostate issue. I am sure he would have used them more, but dogs do not have thumbs.

I'm sure they asked the men to select the frequency with which they masturbated. You'd have to or else you'd get some wise-ass saying "Regularly as opposed to like this...?" and then go on to describe some manner that was intended to horrify/titillate the researcher.

The lycopene in tomatoes is also supposed to help prevent prostate cancer but I think you have to cook the tomatoes plus that prevention method was probably a whole lot less fun to study.

Urlacher whines about loyalty and the Bears letting Hester go.

It's called old and slow.

Careful what you wish for. The player you label old and slow could wind up burning your team if the team he signs with plays the bears next season.

Sometimes a change of scenery is a person needs for motivation.

Do you need an aging vet to play opposite of Peppers? Jared's available.

If Hester returns one against us, it would be fair. But the days of his specialty in the NFL are over.

Oft injured Urlacher got a take it or leave it deal. He should have taken it quietly and retired a Bear in style. Instead, he went to FOX.

...I just know that once I read that study, the term "therapeutic massage" took on a whole new meaning for me. Helllooooo Nurse !
