Would think so. But, you just know his girlfriend is some girl he’s known since 2nd grade who he helped up after she got knocked down at recess. Now she teaches at some really tough school in Miami and they write one another letters every week. Not e-mails, letters.

One of the people I work with the Raspberry tastes like cough syrup. Can't even remember the last time I had a Dr. Pepper.

Nice!!  I will die on the hill that Diet Dr. Pepper is the best diet drink.  It tastes just like the original which is what I drank to get me adjusted into diet soda.

Strong vote for Diet Mountain Dew.  Stay away from the regular though it will absolutely melt your enamel.

Diet soda is bad for your health. Regular soda is bad for your health. Fru-fru "coffee" drinks are bad for your health. Alcoholic drinks are bad for your health.

Bottom line - you're gonna die eventually, so drink what makes you happy.

I’m late to the party”healthy” soft drink game. 
 

But recently I realized I was no longer tolerating Coke Zero and I was actually enjoying it.

Yep. My wife treated her body like a temple.  Vitamins/supplements every meal calculated for max health contribution. 
 

She died at 53 to a defect in her veins that had been there since birth.  
 

Enjoy stuff in moderation. But the key is to enjoy things.

Fernando is clearly an A+ human being and a very observant good Catholic boy. But I’d imagine he enjoys a beer and female companionship, no?

The world is his oyster. I'm truly excited to see what Fernando does in life. I'm sure he will continue being great at anything he tries with the head he has on his shoulders. The Raiders better get him some great OL. I'd hate to see his career cut short like Luck's

The injury issue concerns me with him. He’s not as athletic as Luck, he’s not built like a LB the way Luck was, but he seems to relish contact in the same way. Plus, he already has a concussion under his belt. They really need to work hard with him on picking his spots.

Side note: the most underappreciated awesome thing from the NC game is the fact that the LB that Mendoza trucked on the 5yd line was the same guy who gave him the concussion hit at Cal. Love that, and you know he remembers it.

There was a clip going around that was actually kind of alarming. Basically right after his TD dive, once he got on the sideline, he appeared to collapse very briefly. He was taking a beating. Gotta protect that brain of his.
