My Wife & P90X works for Me

Since I am currently a free agent I have to keep the same mindset to be ready when a team calls. Man what I'm about to tell you YB, you may not believe, but it's very true!!!... Since I'm still considered a Newlywed and because of the toe surgery a year ago, I decided to incorporate my wife into my offseason conditioning, so much so that I decided to purchase road bikes! This way I kill 4 birds with one stone. I get quality time with my wife, just us...and I get my work out in and stay in shape. She gets her workout and stay in shape... I get to stay off the toe until I really need it!

I know what you’re thinking, this guy is a genius...lol...not yet we will see. I have also decided to work out at home this year – that’s right at home. Quality time with my wife is a MUST! I decided to try something different again and ordered the P90X work out DVD's... my wife and I are both P90X victims. I must say I have been pretty impressed. If you haven't tried them, they are real and they are legit! And I also have a personal trainer Chris Enlich at Brick Bodies gym in Timonium for boxing, weights, etc...
Hey YB, let me know if you have any ideas I can consider, to include my wife in my workouts?

OTA's are a "big waste of time"

Yardbarkers here's the deal, OTA's in a players mind – excuse me in a veteran player's mind, are a big waste of time!!! We feel like the season is so, so demanding, time wise, that we have no free time for our families from August through February. So time away from football is family time, daddy time, husband time, son, brother and uncle time... the people who sometimes feel very left out of your life!!!

People seem to think that football is only played on Sundays. The offseason to us feels like our only free times and unfortunately that has pretty much been cut down to roughly 1 month now if you play on a playoff team. February to March, that’s it! Teams are asking guys to report back mid March now-a-days – March 16th to be exact, for offseason programs.

Ninety-five percent of the NFL players play football in a state different than where they live. As a result, the so-called offseason is spent on planes...back and forth from city to city…work/family/work/family... work 4 days go home for 3 days every week... all the money you save up during the season is blown on travel arrangements.

It’s different for young guys... they tend to stay put... they’re excited about football and excited with the new surroundings and they want to hang around the complex and absorb as much info as they can because it’s all so extreme. I always tell people that I went to college for 5 years and football is the hardest class I have ever taken. It’s one big cram course. The older you get the more OTA's feel like a hassle.

I think for the coaches its beneficial because they get to see the new talent with the old talent and get to evaluate what they have. They get valuable film on their squad before the season starts. Keep in mind you are usually good at something because you put the time in...so usually head coaches are practice nymphos...if they can be on the field 24 hours a day they will! Plus practice makes perfect... and you want to gain as much chemistry among the players as possible! It has its ups and downs!!!

Mike Vick should be reinstated

Wzup YB, welcome to the Wilcox World!!! If you want to ask real questions and get real answers holla at me & We will chop it up!!!

It's funny that people are asking this question right now! As I was I blogging I received a text message to my phone a couple days ago... it read "Vick kills dogs and gets 2yrs, Stallworth kills a man and gets 30 days. WOW"!!! Now that txt is circulating amongst NFL players and the rest of the world!!! It was a forwarded message... I honestly don't know.. in a perfect world I would like to think at least 95% of them would say yes reinstate him... he's been punished enough and he served his time... he's been embarrassed, humiliated, taxed, fined, sentenced and everything else... The man made a mistake, NO ONE IS PERFECT!!! None of us!!! And even the bible teaches you to forgive!!! TO FORGIVE, AS THE LORD FORGAVE US.. "Do not judge and you will not be judged? Do not condemn and u will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven." This one is Ironic check out the 7's! 'Peter came to JESUS and asked, "Lord how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to 7 times?" Jesus answered, "I TELL YOU, NOT 7 TIMES, BUT 77 TIMES..." ' That's hot... VICK wears the number 7... Even JESUS says forgive the man 77 times!!!
