It's partly the pills, and it's partly the lack of accountability. They make you come in there every day to get checked on. They'll phone you if you don't come for your weigh in. A big part of my success was the accountability, for sure. Without that, you lose your focus and it's really easy to gain it all back.

Ovi would likely do better being "Kessel-ed".....don't have to be the star, just be a contributor. But, as mentioned, he'd likely have to take a cut...

I once did Herbal Magic as a promotional gimmick through my work, and I dropped 30lbs with them (but gained it all back after I stopped taking the pills) and while I did enjoy my time on the program, one of the problems was that they condition you to the scale. You weigh in every day for the first 3 months, then the next 9, I weighed in once a week. They condition you to celebrate the scale number....I got SO mentally conditioned to it, it still bothers me when I'm on a program. I get SO upset by a gain of 0.2 or something silly like that....it's brutal.

Basically, he's supposed to be one of the only guys in the draft who is "pro ready" and can contribute on day 1. Having said that, there's questions about his desire and love of the game...

...and if you like being/working in Winnipeg, those are really rare....so yeah, he's not wrong to sit and wait, if he can.

that is a guy who would rather be at the World Championships...

...nor does it say "compete", to me....

yeah, the whole thing just seems asinine to me...I don't think I've ever left an arena in the middle of a game or concert. You go take a piss during the intermission, maybe grab a drink or some merch, and then back to your seat.

I'm not-so-patiently waiting to see what happens with Will Forte's mostly-fantastic Last Man On Earth. Last word was they were very close to getting the axe, and he was on Twitter basically begging people to watch...

I'm more of a music guy, but I can do (and have done, on a small scale) Sports and News...it just hasn't been my primary objective the last 15 years. I host Election Coverage events (huge Poli-junkie) and can host round-table format sports talk. Essentially what Huss does for H+L, I can do, and have done on a smaller scale.... As for Penton not being like Lawless...maybe that's a good thing? Here's the thing about doing that gig....you're not trying to directly replace GL, 'cause that's a fool's errand. Whoever comes in next has to be their own person and bring their own style. And if it *IS* Penton, who's to say he's not capable of being a little more "bold" in his opinions? We've only ever really heard him on buttoned-down CJOB, right? Maybe if you put him on TSN and give him free reign to be a bit more opinionated, then he lets loose a bit....

I dunno....my Twitter is exploding with Jets "fans" losing their **** over this. Huge fallout over it.....TNSE is hearing about it, trust me...

Just an FYI: NHL announces the start time for the Oilers/Ducks G5 will go directly opposite the CFL Draft at 5pm Sunday. F*** you, NHL....I'm not sure how, but I'm sure it's Bettman's fault...

You know, it's one thing to post the same thing I did......but at least I gave Jeff Hamilton credit for the source...

From Jeff Hamilton at the WFP: 5 Canadians failed their drug test and will be deferred to next year:

We've done it with cauliflower as the crust... Made our own low sodium tomato sauce... Veggies and chicken toppings. Was real solid...

I definitely feel, based on everything I've read, like we will look closely at moving 6....not sure for what and why....but I feel like we will.

Lots of buzz about Penton maybe moving into a Lawless-ish role......

Good...there's no reason not to go this route.

Just that Bauming is going to be hosting that new hour-long show....

@ArashMadani Per sources: A memo to all #CFL clubs Tuesday informed teams that board chair Jim Lawson will open Sunday's draft + announce first 2 rounds. Interesting because it's not the outgoing Commish....

If I never had to mention NFL, NBA, UFC, Boxing........I could do Hus's job, for sure....
