No! We don't eat pork (a major cause of high blood pressure...for me) and very little beef due to digestive issues with it as well.

It's an interesting discussion you're all having. Certainly the 1K/yrds for a WR isn't the same measure or indicator today as it once was, but it's still a decent scale. It was even more impressive in the day because most teams were basically running OFFs. You had OFF's like the 49ers with Walsh and the Chargers with Air Corielle, but 125yrd rushing + and another 125-150 receiving was more the norm; and those 150 receiving yards were spread across RB's, TE's, and WR's. It was just different and that's what made it such a remarkable thing.
But I'll throw a wrench in the mix to the argument that WR's are better suited to succeed today coming out of college... and for me it applies to even elite WR's coming out of college. The coverage just isn't the same. The amount of holding and interference that went on in the day - by today's standards, was remarkable and made the feat of 1k/yrds even more exceptional. Today there is still contact, but not anywhere near the level of many years ago. And, while PI penalties don't garner yards on the stats for WR's, those penalties do lead to additional downs and chances.
So for me, the fact that OFFs today throw vastly more than from when the stat was a benchmark for almost HOF performance, especially when done year after year, and the today's "hands off" rules really open the door for not so "elite" WR's to get close or surpass the 1k mark. I would tend to agree that "elite" WR's right out college are more likely to do it, but I don't know whether that's a statement to their being equal to WR's who did it under the old rules and game dynamic from back in the day.
I wonder what receiving total today would put the achievement at the same level of say the 1990 total...
Havent eaten pork since a kid.. Probably only eat beef like once or twice a year whenever i want some oxatil.. beef makes me feel bloated though and i can feel it sitting on my stomach so i almost rarely eat it.
yes i definitely celebrate
yep we eat early as well. My brother in law is a chef by trade, but we all pitch in
We will all be over to help with the desserts. I'll bring an apple pie and vanilla ice cream

I love some Oxtails. Yeah, beef is not easy on my digestive system at all. Like you, if I eat it (which I love hamburgers) it gives me the same effects as you, and I can feel it sitting heavily on my stomach due to the lack of digestion. So, I avoid it as much as possible. Chicken, turkey, and salmon are lighter on me and easily digestible so those meats are my main go-to's.
oxtail is great. Had my best Oxtail in Honolulu at a diners drive ins and dives place my wife and I visited. Amazing

The Lions are such a disappointment. But the reality is that they're just keeping their Thanksgiving losing record going. What are they 3-98?! It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a Lions loss.

The day after Thanksgiving is my favorite. Families all gone , college football, tons of left overs that I turn into a sandwich , and quiet…. Yea that’s the good stuff
my wife and i still eat meet ans pork, but we eat lots of fish and live a dirty keto lifestyle. This just means we aren't in ketosis. We have been doing this for 4 years. If it weren't for my wife we wouldn't be able to. she's an amazing cook and keeps everything interesting and always comes up with new recipes.

So I just saw some Old Bay in a shop in Scotland for some reason. I bought it for Ravens reasons. Other than crabs, what do I do with it?

That’s the best way to do it. I don’t do keto anymore(too strict for my lifestyle), but I always try to keep my diet high protein and low carb. Lots of Chicken, steak, fish, and veggies.
