The Squid Game theme was pretty cool. And they didn’t bloat it with special guests either. Pretty solid halftime show.

Well, the Chiefs did exactly what they needed to do out of the dressing room.

The commercials have been better in the second half along with the game. The binky and the rockstar commercials have been my favorites so far.

I watched.  it was a very entertaining game.  The NFL couldn't have asked for more dramatic game with it being so close, injuries, a massive comeback, etc.  It was great in my opinion!  No standout ads this year.  I continued my tradition of not watching the halftime show... not that I ever did to begin with.

Nutrition Tips for athletes 

Low-fat Eating Tips

Athletes need to get about 20% to 35% of their calorie intake from fat. To help get this level of fat intake from what you eat and drink, follow these tips when making food choices:

1. Limit fats and oils such as butter, margarine, cooking oils, salad dressing, shortening, sour cream, cream cheese, cream, and lard.

2. Choose foods that are broiled, baked, steamed, or boiled rather than fried.

3. Use skim or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese, ice milk, and frozen yogurt.

4. Choose lean meat, fish, poultry, and dry beans and peas as protein sources.

5. Trim fat off meat and remove the skin from poultry.

6. Blot pizza with a napkin to remove excess fat.

7. Ask for dressings and accompaniments on the side, so you control how much you use.

8. When eating salads, choose lots of fresh vegetables and fruits and low-fat dressing and toppings.

9. Avoid adding high-fat salad dressings, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, potato salad, macaroni salad, eggs, and fried croutons to vegetables, fruits, pasta, beans, rice, and lean meats.

10. Read food labels to find the amount of fat in a serving of food.

11. Choose low-fat or fat-free foods over high-fat foods. Reading food labels can help determine the fat content in foods.

12. Avoid eating multiple or large servings of fat-free foods. The phrase fat free on food labels means the serving size of food listed on the label contains less than 0.5 g of fat. Be Aware: Eating multiple servings of a fat-free food may provide less fat but can still contain a lot of calories from added sugars.

13. Limit use of egg yolks and organ meats such as liver and kidney.

14. Watch for hidden fat in foods. Granola cereals, many crackers, muffins, cakes, cookies, breads, chips, and snack foods contain a lot of hidden fat. Foods that are fried, breaded, or covered with regular salad dressing, high-fat sauces, regular cheeses, and gravy are also high in fat. *A food can be legally labeled low-fat if it contains 3 oz grams or less of fat in the standard serving size listed on the Food Label.

The holding call ruined the suspenseful ending…Could have been epic. 

The worst ending to a Super Bowl ever was quite epic and the Seahawks were on the losing end of it.  Any other ending is a far distant second in terms of gut wrenching badness.

That was me too for awhile. I would follow the playoffs but didn't care of anything else. 

Then Stephen Curry was drafted by the Warriors and everything changed. I hope seattle has a team by the time he retires so I have a reason to keep watching the NBA.

About 30 laps left in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Daytona race.  It's shaping up to be an awesome finish. :)

Rams releasing Bobby Wagner. Hmmm. 

Talked about this with my friend earlier. Hawks made a mistake, now make it right by bringing him back and let him retired here. Besides the dude can still ball and brooks won’t be able to start beginning of the season. 
 

he will be a valuable asset for this young defense
