He previously covered the NFL at The Ringer, Bleeding Green Nation and The Draft Network.Defense wins championships.This, like many things my dad tried to convince me of when I was 8, is not really true.

Creatine monohydrate is typically sold as a flavorless, white powder that you can mix into water or a shake. According to Amati, the standard dose is three to five grams per day. Some athletes may “load” with higher doses, but studies show this offers no long-term benefits and can put unnecessary stress on the kidneys.Muscle Growth and Exercise PerformanceCreatine is most useful for activities that demand short, intense effort: sprinting, weightlifting, and high-intensity interval training, to name a few. It’s far less relevant for endurance sports like marathons. Some evidence suggests creatine also increases muscle glycogen storage, which could help…

“One day you will look back and see that all along you were blooming.”— MHN Nearly thirty years ago, when I was a freshman in high school, my English teacher gave my class a homework assignment entitled, “Advice for a Younger Generation.” The concept of the assignment was simple: Each student had to interview a person who was over the age of 25, gather enough information to write a basic biography of their life, and find out what their top tips are for a younger generation. I chose to interview my father. He was 53 at the time and he…

My top 10 things to watch Thursday, Jan. 8 1. The S & P 500 was headed for a lower open this morning, retreating from its all-time intraday highs seen during the prior session. Fresh economic data this morning was largely positive. The index did, however, close lower yesterday after President Donald Trump said that Venezuela will give up as much as 50 million barrels of oil to the United States. 2. Venezuela without guarantees might be a fool’s errand for some of the oil companies to commit capital in the volatile South American country, as there is no rule…

Google is announcing a new AI Inbox view for Gmail that, instead of presenting your emails in a traditional list, uses AI to offer personalized to-dos and summaries of topics you might want to follow from your emails.It’s a potentially huge shift in how you might navigate your Gmail, especially if you have a lot to sort through or if you (like me) already use your inbox as a to-do list.
