These guys aren't lifting a bunch in the season, nor are they lifting heavy. During the off-season, they have variety in their lifts, with a lot of focus on core strength. Stabilization work etc. From what I understand the lifting environment for a professional team compared to a college team is quite different. The weight room is gorgeous IMO. I think they did a great job.

If it were pink and baby crap green it really wouldn't make a whole lot of difference. A hundred pounds is a hundred pounds. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weights don't change by color schemes.. 
If some player getting paid 200 million bucks decides they don't want to play there just because of the decorations? Ehhhh...

So much so, it became my focus, not because I wanted to be with them because I'm faithful to my wife, but because I wanted them to want to be with me, but couldn't have me. Well, that ship sailed!  I may have worked out a little too hard. Literally.

Temperatuers in Cincinnati are also so unpredictable like it's 39 degrees outside right now in April, which I need my heater now.

It's also not abnormal to get enough snow in winters to have schools closed, so that's another reason why I think it would have to be or what's the point?

I just hope this bubble is big enough for Mcpherson and our punter.
