What about defensive players?

Should I get in touch with my "Present" before I pick my players?


hahaha, obviously. There is only the now and stuff.

You pick one full defense/special teams combo rather than individual players. Then you get points for holding the other team to under X points, plus any sacks, INTs, fumble recoveries, and defensive or special teams TDs.

And speaking of which, I am really glad that I picked up Kaepernick, and I wish I had started him. Kid is looking beast as fuck out there. I just didn't trust Harbaugh to start him and keep him in.

Did you know that there was a player for the Buffalo Bills in the 80's named Spencer Johnson. The same name as the person who wrote "the Present"! I wonder if he would have been a good pick....

/e sorry it wasn't the 80's it was the early 2000's

If you read the post, you'd know bard isn't saying 2 + 2 = 5. We're closed minded, but you refuse to learn anything new? At ghost point, it's safe to say your book can just go fuck itself.


this is relevant

Continued misunderstanding of what it means to have an open mind. I legitimately think you are delusional and feel bad for you. Hopefully you will one day realize how you are limiting yourself by holding on to the dogma of this book, and you will seek to gain knowledge and pursue truth.


So why don't you explain me what is an open mind, and back it up with evidence as I did ?
(Again, I don't give a fuck about what you think I am).
Since you have troubles to read what I say, I will copy paste :

Quote
Just to remind you, my life change completely in a positive way since I understood I am more than my mind (thanks to The Present).
I could stop smoking tobbaco without anything else than my motivation after 14 years of non-stop smoking (I started when I was kinda young : 13 years old). What I achieved thanks to The Present is almost impossible for anyone with a closed mind.


This is a concrete evidence of what I EXPERIENCED as an opened-minded human being.
This is a MAJOR change in my life.
My mind is not getting closed again, so I know I will never get addicted in tobbaco.

Again this is just an exemple, I also admited I was wrong with many things on my life like junk food I stoped to eat, like addiction with videogames.
Other exemple is music : before I opened my mind, I was happy with let's say 200 songs I was listening non-stop. Now I discover new great songs EVERY DAYS, in many different genres.
One more exemple : since I opened my mind, I listen more to my 5 sense, so I do not spend as much time non-stop in front of pc and I take some walks to relax my body --> I will go for a walk now, talk to you later.
Oh, wait one more : since I opened my mind, I realized I need to sleep more to relax my body and my mind --> I sleep much more than before and I feel much better.

Now your turn.

Funny enough, I had the exact same change in my life because of the book that I linked you and which you have read less of than I read of the Present. I mean, if that's what's passing for evidence. :)

ETA: To clarify, I started smoking at 11 and quit cold turkey after 22 years.
