Drugs. They are drugs. You can try to dance around it anyway you want, but they act the same way street drugs do. They have no way of knowing what's going on in your brain, so they can't actually correct anything. Long term, it's going to damage your brain. There's no way around that.

I was on 60 mg adderall, 600 mg Lithium, 40 mg Latuda, 300 mg Gabapentin, 10 mg Abilify, and 6 grams of Xyrem. I don't think I would have made 40.

I'm not trying to dance around anything, man. I have no problem at all fully disclosing my drug or describing it as such. The antidepressant I take is citalopram, 20 MG a day, that's it. The main effects are a calming of the system, like a sedative I guess, and an overall improvement in mood.

Short term, it's helped me a lot. Long term, I won't be here no matter what I take or don't take.

I have this feeling that the Bucs are about to be one of the best teams in the league this year. Could legitimately see them winning about 11-12 games and winning their division. New Orleans looks like they're on their way out, and are looking at a rebuild as we speak, and I seriously doubt Carolina's as good next year as they were in '13 unless they land a #1 receiver, and the passing defense continues to make splash plays like they did so much last year.

Also, I could see Denver missing the postseason this year. KC has that defense, they're looking to get more offense, and I'd be shocked if Denver was as successful on offense as they were last year. They'll lose Decker and replace him with a rookie, their best running back is not coming back, and Manning can't last forever.

Ray Rice is one classy guy! Very Jeteresque!

[Youk Of The Nation]

A Baltimore Raven named Ray involved in a violent assault? That sounds familiar...

Talib signs with Denver for 57 Mil.
And now reports that they have added Ware.
Wow, Denver going all out.

[Jasonbay44]

Denver killed free agency. Ware/Von Miller as pass rushers could be very lethal.

Richard douchebag shermann at it again, this time on Twitter

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

No really, buy some vagisil. You sound like Keeper.

[redsoxrules]

Wow, your cool.

"Robert Griffin III is one of few athletes who transcends style on and off the field,"

LOL - yeah, he totally styled his way to an 82.2 rating last year. Once his knee blew up and his performance suffered, his popularity took a dive. Can't see many buying branded clothing at this stage.

Aldon Smith - naughty naughty.

Buffalo Bills cheerleaders become the third group of cheerleaders to file suit against their teams, joining Raiders and Bengals cheerleaders.

Hey, I like watching cheerleaders bounce around as much as the next sleazy guy, but when you read this stuff it's pretty amazing the shit that NFL teams have been trying to get away with in 'enlightened times' like ours.

For the love of Christ, NO to expanding the playoffs. First FIX the playoffs so you don't have any 7-9 teams make it in, let alone hosting a team with a far superior record. Second, leave it at six. It's the perfect number.

[redsoxrules]

Yeah, I wouldn't expand the playoffs either. The only thing I'd like to see change is the way they do the seeding.

[Northern Star]

Good. A guy is suing the NFL for the absolute bullshit that is restricting credit card sales for playoff tickets to a handful of states around the host city, in this case Seattle. Even if that's legal, it shouldn't be.
