Maybe this season y'all will actually be able to score a touchdown against us.

Man, that game down there last year was ridiculous. It's still a thorn in my side. We had that SOB won, won, and won again, until we lost.

Personally, I love opening up with you guys though. There is zero tape of our offense OR defense. I don't think we could be in a better situation for a Skins-Boys game. And finally, FINALLY having a legitimate franchise QB for the first time since I was in grade school is exciting as well.

I've predicted 7 wins for us this year, simply because I think it will take time to adapt to the new schemes I mentioned. But I also believe 100% that one of those 7 will be #1.

I'm just happy that we go to Washington in September for once. It seems like the last few seasons, we've gone there at the very end of the season. Although I won't complain with how last year's December meeting went.

This will be the third time the Cowboys will have faced McNabb in a span of four games.

Didn't realize that.

FWIW, my favorite Skins-Boys game was Joe Gibbs' last home game. I was fortunate enough to be there, in a nice freezing-cold drizzle. Didn't feel a thing though. It was one of the most lopsided games between the two teams I've ever seen. Y'all had 2 rushing yards. TWO!!!

It was the only game I've ever been to where the opposing fans literally had nothing to cheer about all night. We need to get back to those days, ASAP!

That game sucked!

Maybe the Cowboys will get to face McNabb three times for a second consecutive season. If ya catch my drift.

There's no way we trade McNabb midseason... We've got a playoff run to think about...

I realize you didn't know, friend, but the dates in his signature, and the salute, are for his father, who was killed in a helicopter crash.

That is precisely why I don't joke about people's parents anymore. Too much possibility of a REALLY uncomfortable situation there. Granted, he started it.

True, sorry about that Toaster, I should've known better.

Just sent a PM to him, so hopefully we're good.

Watching the ESPY's just now. Two of the four "Breakthrough Athletes" nominated were Strasburg and John Wall.

Washington sports are taking over!

You know how we do.

As we talked about last night, I think that weight is something that differs for each individual. While the BMI chart says I should be 165, I know that's way too light for me. And if 190 is a good, healthy, comfortable weight for you, then I see no need to gain weight because of some chart or whatever.

If your body fat percentage, blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol levels, and other measures of overall health are good; then you're good, IMO.

Well, ideally, I'd be a cut 180-185. My right knee gets some aches and pains from my years running and rowing in high school, so I don't like being too heavy just for comfort reasons when I'm doing athletic stuff.

You're right about the general concept of it though. Everyone just needs to figure out their own healthy level and not worry about trying to look like celebrities who have personal trainers and chefs and airbrushed/photoshopped magazine models.

when I think of 6'1 190, I think of male models- in my magazines, they often have the model's heights and weights, and the guys are always said to be 6'1 and 190. I mean, of course they don't look bad at all, I guess I just like my men a little sturdier.

I wish I could say I had the physique of a Men's Fitness model, but I'm not that cut. If I was really lean and had a visible 6 pack I'd probably be closer to 180-185, but I'm a hard gainer so just keeping at 190-195 takes a lot of effort on my part.

I'd like to think I'm sturdy enough though.

Some of you guys are extremely skinny. I'm 5'10, 190 at the moment, and I am in great shape. When I was in the best shape of my life, I was 180, and I had 3% bodyfat.

ESPY's are unwatchable

Got to give them credit for making it live though...who wants to see a tape-delayed-by-4-or-5-days-ceremony?

[ixcuincle]

When I was in the best conditioning of my life, senior year of high school with rowing, I weighed 165 to 170 with maybe 6% body fat. When I was the strongest and most filled out in my life, a couple of summers ago, I was about 205 and maybe 12% body fat. But like I said, that was too heavy for me and I had to eat so often to keep it up. I just did that because it was the summer and I was life guarding at the time.
