🏈 Lee Corso's Last Call...

[64Tide]

Was that Beano or a Brontosaurus? Heard that many times.

I agree. Although I didn’t claim he wasn’t synonymous. I just think he wasn’t needed or integral to the show. Heck Desmond has been nonessential too. The only guys who ever provided quality contributions IMO were Fowler, Rece, and Kirk. I would have kept David Pollack, Booger, and Marcus Spears over Desmond and Corso.

One of those three Pollack, Booger or Spears would’ve been an obvious upgrade over Desmond. I really enjoyed Fowler and thought that he might be irreplaceable, but Rece transitioned it as smooth as silk. Kirk, to me, is the glue of that group. Corso has been the “grandfather” of that group, aggravates the piss out of you at times, but just something about him that draws you in. I’m gonna miss the headgear picks.

I'd rather have a 3 year kidney stone than have to listen to even 3 more minutes of Booger talk football.

Wow.... I found these two gems on YouTube:

'Bama Vs Miami '93 Gameday Part 1

'Bama Vs Miami '93 Gameday Part 2.... Ewww Whewwww...

Eric Curry goofy grinning "That's just not in the making for him at all. I'm just going to tell him that right now."

Thank you @Crimson&WhiteGecko , that really hit the spot and brought back fond memories!

Isn’t it weird how college aged kids looked older back then than they do today? Jesus, look at Barker’s neck!

Emasculating hormones/food additives?

LOL at Langham in that 2nd clip.

Compare Barker’s appearance and voice to Bryce Young.

Barker was either a true Sophomore or Redshirt Sophomore for this game. This is Simpson’s, what, 3rd or 4th year? Point being, they are comparable in age, and yet Barker looks almost 10 years older than Simpson!

BOTH comments. Dude was slicing & dicing.

It's like he went to the Churchill school of public speaking thus telling folks to go hell is such a way they look forward to it!

Skin care products, plastic surgery, fillers, all that fake shit. Heck, my Christian dentist, deacon at a Southern Baptist Church, gives botox shots now. Not pointing to Simpson with that, but society in general. I imagine less smoking and more sunscreen as well these days. And if I wanted to be a dick, folks were forced to grow up much quicker back then, compared to today where they live in their parents basement and just get by.

I was saying breast milk as a bit of a joke; but in all seriousness it's diet.

Within the past week I've seen a lady with two boys; two years apart. Her oldest is the same height and weight as her youngest. He (older) was a "working mom" baby: formula, prepared/canned meals, etc. The younger a breast fed kid with his food prepared at home (not off of the .20 cent per jar shelf.)

Why is there a difference between the health of each child? The weight and height?

I agree the lack of nursing mothers in modern times is a huge factor, but like others have noted in this thread, there are countless other endocrine system disruptors (ESDs) in our environment, food, water, clothing, etc. too.

Another thought … as well structured as someone like Will Anderson was, he wasn’t the dude that Derrick Thomas or Keith McCants was. I think in another thread, you or someone else noted how former NG Robert Stewart still held lifting records after all these years??

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

Guys looked more like grown ass men 30+ years ago because MOST rosters had guys stay on for 5 years. Also, most young men had a FAR MORE active lifestyle. Most guys lived outside playing games, sports, did chores, etc. They were built different because they lived different.

Which is intertwined, I'd suggest. You'll find that mother also paying closer attention to what kind of food they're eating at two. You'll find that mother encouraging drinking water versus some fake juice in box.

Clothing? Meh...

I mentioned Robert from my time on the team with him. Kevin Turner was another one! I truly believe it is all of the shit they put in foods and our drinking water.

Clothing? Meh...

Per Grok:

Yes, some clothing can contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that may interfere with the body’s hormonal system. These chemicals can be present due to manufacturing processes, treatments, or materials used in textiles. Here’s a concise overview:

• Common EDCs in Clothing:
  • Phthalates: Used in plastic-based textiles or prints (e.g., PVC coatings), these can disrupt hormone function, particularly affecting reproductive health.
  • Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): Found in water-repellent or stain-resistant clothing, PFAS are linked to thyroid and reproductive hormone disruption.
  • Bisphenols (e.g., BPA): Sometimes present in polyester or plastic components, these can mimic estrogen.
  • Azo Dyes and Heavy Metals: Certain synthetic dyes and finishes may contain compounds like aniline or heavy metals (e.g., cadmium, lead), which can act as EDCs.
  • Formaldehyde: Used in wrinkle-resistant or flame-retardant treatments, it may disrupt hormonal balance at high exposure levels.
• How Exposure Happens:
  • Skin contact: EDCs can be absorbed through the skin, especially in tight or frequently worn clothing.
  • Washing: Chemicals may leach into water, affecting the environment or remaining on clothes.
  • Inhalation: Dust or volatile compounds from treated fabrics can be inhaled.
• Evidence and Concerns:
  • Studies (e.g., Greenpeace’s 2014 “Dirty Laundry” report) have detected EDCs like PFAS and phthalates in clothing from major brands, particularly in fast fashion.
  • Animal and lab studies suggest EDCs can affect thyroid, reproductive, and metabolic systems, though human health impacts from clothing-specific exposure are less studied and depend on exposure levels.
• Reducing Exposure:
  • Choose natural, organic fibers (e.g., organic cotton, hemp) certified by standards like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).
  • Wash new clothes before wearing to reduce chemical residues.
  • Avoid clothing with “performance” claims (e.g., waterproof, stain-resistant) unless certified PFAS-free.
  • Opt for brands transparent about chemical use or those avoiding known EDCs.
