Not big at all. I have had blood drawn at least over a 100 times. Never had an issue before. I literally used to have it drawn 1x a week every week for an entire year. I was also in HS then so, you know, young and strong and shit. Who knows what happened. Just a weird thing.

What do you have to go off of that you feel Mack will be out for two weeks. I literally rewatched the entire first and second period of the game last weekend and couldn't see one play or one shift where he would've gotten hurt.

Yes, JT not TJ.

Its been reported that Mack is week to week. And more on the 2 weeks side than the 1 week. I watched the entire game too and I never saw anything either. Maybe he just tweaked his knee or something? But he missed the last game, and with this delay maybe only the 1 game. He is week to week though.

Yeah, I know he's week to week but you sounded pretty sure that he was going to be out closer to two weeks than one. I thought maybe one of your "insiders" gave you some deets.

I'm at 6'2", 245. Giving blood ****s me up every time.

Nah that was just the info reported. Sounded more week to week than 1 week. I could ask my buddy but I dont want to bother him for something small like that.

Thats crazy. I wonder why

I almost pass out every time I get blood taken. I have a major needle phobia and I know it. I warn the nurses ahead of time and try looking away and breathing. Not sure what's going on with you UR, but I just stay put, practice slow breathing and get up when I feel more normal. It's not so bad when you know it could be coming.

Just saw that Gabe got added to the NHL's COVID Protocol list. I have no idea what this means, but thought I would share.

All Avs games postponed until 2/11. Gabe landed on the list.

Dang. Hope they recover well.

But the real tragedy here is my entertainment and fitness needs. I've been riding the bike while watching the games, what will I do now? Watch Band of Brothers instead?

You could. I've enjoyed re-watching Band of Brothers. I'm on part six now. Such an amazing show. Makes me really think what people would all be like if they were all like Dick Winters.

You should get on clubhouse, seriously. For you it's a good fit. Do that while you ride.

Again, that sounds nefarious.

Anything called "Clubhouse" sounds like it's probably not what it is. Google "Clubhouse Dallas" and let me know what comes up. Coach knows what I'm talking about.

Do they give 'massages' at the clubhouse?
