I saw the score of the Michigan and Ohio State game but I didn’t know about the fight after.
You can now applaud my journalism skills. ;)
view on youtu.beWell that will just add more fuel to the rivalry. I say good for Ohio State defending their logo.
I wonder if these type of fights are common in NFL. I like them because I don't often see them in Cricket. There can be few small incidents in Cricket but nothing like this, never.
No, there aren't many scuffles to this level. Occasionally players push and shove or even throw punches but with helmets on you are more likely to break your hand that hurt the guy with a punch.
Still it's much more agression filled sport than Cricket. I'm really starting to enjoy and accept American Football is better than Real (you know what I mean) Football.
Sitting long hours really make people retarded and sick. I'm sure you must have seen baniyas sitting on locL shops with gheif ultra fat bellies in India. That's perfect example.
Haha. Sethji. Really they all get big tummies because of sitting all day and sleeping all night.
You also stay active.
I'm in better shape than yours.
But I am more active, more strong and more powerful than you.
I think moving is so important. I have friend who works and spends his free time in a computer chair watching a screen. He is decaying in front of my eyes. Get out there and move around people!
I completely agree. I've been a teacher and used to keep standing for many hours daily. But after I left teaching, I'm seeing that I've gained weight and this is just 1 year. I feel like I should stand more than sitting to remain fit and healthy.
Marathon is progressing very well, without a doubt its projection for 2025 is enormous!!

It will not be an easy task for both sides.
For the BRICS political bloc, a transition to a system less dependent on the dollar is a long-term process, considering the predominance of the dollar in foreign exchange reserves and international trade, in addition to its central role in maintaining the stability of the global financial system. .
Now on Trump's side, the BRICS bloc has considerable influence on the world economy, bringing together more than 45% of the global population, more than a third of the world's GDP and a significant portion of oil production and exports of essential raw materials.
