I try to only joke about age with posters younger than me ... I am 66.
Same age as my Uncle I always post about that was more like a big brother to me growing up. He provided me quite a bit of sport and music knowledge when were kids. What is fun now is because of my identic memory I am able to recall old friends and things that happened in his youth and because of the use of recreational drugs over the years, it really just blows his mind.

We can bring up two players from the practice squad to dress every game. I believe - and don't quote me on this, I could very well be wrong - if a player has more than two games dressed, they have to be signed to the active roster. Connors hasn't been brought up for a game yet, so he can get two games before we have to sign him to the 53-man roster.

The main issue is him getting poached. I'd love to bring him up for the one game, and sign him to the active roster so that he doesn't get poached like we did with Maximus Pulley (love the name, by the way. Absolute top-tier elite name.) and what the Eagles did to us with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
I approve of that .... signed Maximus P.

Turned 60 this month and age is just a number, but that is the word that came to mind with Jake Funk. I have always been considered an old soul and now I am.
I turn 60 in December. Yeah, just a number, but the number is getting bigger.

In all seriousness, these last 2 yrs or so is the first time I have noticed aches & pains a bit more. From back pain to knee pain.

I went to an orthopedic surgeon, thinking I tore a meniscus or MCL or something. I have been dealing with a lot of pain on the inside part of my left knee. The xrays showed it was just arthritis. The doc showed me the bone spurs that are giving me the pain. So that sucks as not much they can do at this point. Maybe eventually I will get 6 month injections to lube it up, but that's it.

So getting old sucks

@den-the-coach has the right attitude, and offers good advice on aging ... it's a state-of-mind, have the right attitude, provide wisdom and a positive message to younger generations ... All that good Bull-Shit.

Personally, I find Immaturity also has a positive result.
That and the occasional visit to the Boobie and Booty threads on Off Topic.

Of course, I am just joking ... I visit those two threads far more often than occasionally. No Blue Font.

Yeah, the key is also to stay active. I just retired and I am fortunate enought to be able to financially swing buying a lakehouse in Poconos (Northeast PA mountains). So that has kept me busy, updating and renovating the place. Looking forward to next summer when we can actually use it for R&R. It has been a lot of work this year since we bought it in August.

If it gets bad, and you have insurance, total knee replacement could be an option. Supposedly the techniques and materials have gotten way better in the last decade. I know a guy who's 65 or so and still plays recreational soccer a couple times a week who has TWO artificial knees. So check it out maybe.

(I've had 3 knee surgeries but it's still holding up for me for now at age 56).

In the meantime, for a darker POV, here's Louis ck and his shitty ankle. (I'm actually optimistic that a good knee surgeon could somehow reduce your pain, but I think the Louis clip is funny nonetheless).

My Dad, who worked in construction for 50 yrs, he had both of his knees and shoulders replaced. That happened 17 yrs ago and they are still holding up, but he said his knees are starting to bother him. The doc said they would last 20 yrs. So not quite there, but he is 87 yrs old and those surgeries relieved the pain that he was in.

My doctor mentioned knee replacement, but he said the arthritis wasn't that bad yet, but it would be a future option. Now just trying to tweak my diet to limit inflamation. I do notice that when drinking sugary drinks does cause pain to increase. So limiting those.

Or maybe Waters?
Think Dean Connor’s will be called up.Mcvay sort of hinted 2 that in his presser. a couple days ago. He said he has confidence in Waters as well,but think Connor’s is the better all around speical teams player. That’s how players like him really EARN that spot.

BTW - hope you’ve been enjoying the season.Went in a 4 day little binger last week & had to be Sober & at home for that Giants Game.Don’t want the Old Lady to not like The Rams.She did hang a Rams Flag up at our place.Think it is taking down now because that wall is going to be painted by hoa.
Speaking of Philly - 2nd half at The Niner ?’lol - is sort of a good inside joke. Monday Night though.
Might try to get a friend over there as well ? A Cheers to the season ?
I’ll hunt you down at some point if not.Sad thing is I might give up drinking for the season??
Might talk to Dave
(DG’s)next door as well.I called him at one point a few years ago.Funny how life works. There’s a simple story to it all.
Like always probably don’t understand where I’m coming from in that aspect.
