Worth a watch because it was the 5% of the show not about the Packers & Rodgers

I agree. That HBO special with Phelps is worth the watch IMO.

LOL.

He’s got a point. Jordan and Brady have a chance to win every single year.

But not every athlete gets to the finals or super bowl yearly. Some only make it

May have been. But they don’t have to wait four years to find out.

You both are ignoring the fact that they compete in several competitions per

And Jordan competed in 82 competitions a year so the stress was divided by 82.

The stress was divided?! Haha yes we will have to “agree to disagree” because

After you say her stress isn’t that much because she has other competitions each

StalwartBraveTrue

Not because stress is some how divisible by the number of stressful situations!
