Man in the Arena Discussion

immediately closed the video the second I realized it was the Alex Guerrero fluff piece episode

Are you serious? Majority of the episode dedicated to treat cancer with water guy?

I haven't watched a single one.

Ugh. I really want to see what Tom says about Butler, if anything, but I don't know if I can stand to watch Alex and Tom fellate each other for an hour.

I watched the portion of the episode about the game and it isn't mentioned once. There's a point in it where Brady and Gronk both are saying how they finally got the lead after being down all game and then there's a moment where if they were complete assholes they'd throw the defense under the bus but Brady just says "and then they get the ball and score, and now we got a chance to win it with a TD , I'll take that the 10 out of 10 times" . But if you didn't know any better you'd think Brady was the reason the game was lost because they only things they really focus on are the pass to him and the strip sack.

Well tbf I don't know if it's an entire fluff piece but he's 1 of the people in this one (they do 1 or 2 different people an episode ) and then I skimmed to the playoff stuff and they kind of make it out like his holistic stuff got Brady thru the playoffs with no issues with the thumb injury. When in reality Brady just luckily had no structural damage and the hand doctor stitched it up real good.

Yea I can't sit through that.

I am sure I will watch it. The closer it gets to the end of him being a Patriot, the less I want to see.

Not really. I think from what I watched so far 25 min in, it's mainly on TB proving people wrong on playing in elite into his 40s. Obviously had to throw in his method that works for him . I'm just surprised this episode had Gronk in it. I thought they would save him for the last one

I have zero issue with Brady sharing what works for him.

It's when he tries to preach and sell it is when I get that infomercial vibe.

Yeah I think the vibe is mostly him sharing. You might roll your eyes on the hand injury portion of the episode though if you end up watching it.

Re: the thumb injury......Based on his injury I still have no idea how he was able to do what he did 4 days later.

The freaking bone broke the skin. Thats like Terminator stuff.

I am one of the biggest Brady homers on the board but that snake oil salesman Guerrero is where I cut ties. AG actually used to appear in late night infomercials touting some sort of vitamins as a cure all for everything. I think he has even claimed he is a doctor in the past and got himself sued for it. The guy is a snake and while I've never viewed Brady as a genius by any means I always assumed he was smart enough to cut that conman lose at some point but if it hasn't happened by now I doubt it will.

“It was a different game back then… I mean… teams weren’t throwing for 8.. 900 yards a game like they are now.”

The struggle is real.

 

[Triumph]

I'm tired of Brady and his drama.

The Pat's lost the Philly SB for numerous reasons. It's over.

It would take a significant event (business/personal) in which TB12 lost complete trust in Snake Oil for them to break up.

None of us are equipped to evaluate this unless we have experienced a 90 minute full body massage by Alex with soft music & candles.

If he uses hot stones in conjunction with massage then that might be why TB12 overlooks AGs BS.

As long as Tom stays far away there from any kind of "nutrition" that could cause a failed PED test I'm good with what he's doing with AG. Obviously it works.

Wasn't happy about the Edelman news but glad to know that was not from AG or TB12.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

What Edelman news?

 

[RobertWeathers]

What Edelman news?

JE11 was nailed with PEDs a few years back.

That's how I feel too. I am a big believer in holistic practices as I have been doing them in my own life for the past 25 years to deal with chronic pain. If you read the TB12 book there really isn't anything in there that is all that earth-shattering in terms of diet or fitness training. The only odd thing is that a football player is talking about stretch bands and resistance training which was never thought to be something viable for football because of the muscle mass needed to compete. So in that sense it's revolutionary for football players but really not for the general public. I have been practicing the diet stuff for over two decades.
