Floating around in a plastic kayak that smells vaguely like fish and plastic worms is my idea of an ideal morning. No one will ever convince me otherwise. Destino, where do you kayak fish?

The All of Nothing on Prime Video on the new Zealand All Blacks is a great entry point. Yeah, I watched that series, it was really pretty incredible.

Yohan Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I am okay with Lance Armstrong use PED for his Tour de France victories. And cyclist are some pretty tough people. This guy crashed on day 1 of the Tour de France, busted his left scapula, and still finished the entire tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulda just played it like that come out and admitted and used that counter argument and rode off into the sunset (he was done anyway). "Yeah.

He definitely would not have, but that's entirely beside the point. He cheated and was the best at a sport where everyone cheated. This made him very famous. Instead of him being all about him, he used that fame to help others, and he was remarkably effective at it. If Armstrong was a cheater and a dick (like, I dunno, Barry Bonds or ARod or Clemens), then I would definitely be saying **** that guy. But he wasn't a dick, he was an extraordinarily generous person with his time and efforts and used his ill-gotten gains to do a lot of genuine good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had that happen, but I've had some close calls and have since learned to lever the rod at an angle away from me instead of straight up in line with the fish. These near misses did inspire me to seek out education, as a precaution, and learn how to remove a fish hook. Sadly I made the mistake of selecting the video with the most views and nearly cringed myself to death. If you have a strong stomach and hate yourself enough to watch a guy stick fishhooks in his arm with the intention of demonstrating a neato trick for removing those fish hooks... only to have the afore mentioned trick fail horribly, click here. I don't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recommend it. That didn't bother me. When you said fail horribly, I was expecting a chunk of flesh to come out with the hook, and a lot of blood. Didn't seem all that bad to me. My experience with a fish hood wasn't me or a buddy, but a dog, who ended up getting hooked on the tongue. Getting him to hold still to get it out while he was afraid and yelping in pain was not fun.

Agreed, when the biggest struggle the league has is how to speed up the game by eliminating long periods of time when absolutely nothing happens.
