    No. I'm saying He has done more then he's let on. You have never met anyone that says they don't do something that they do???? Ever???? What I said was an example. Yes I had a cousin that worked out 4 times a day, and lied 2 everyone ....so they thought He was natural. If He did it I'm dang well sure others do also.. Sheltered world you must live in. Just like I've known a bunch that do the opposite, and say they do a bunch of stuff they don't do.
    Also I said "Does He put in as much time as the others...I don't know"
    So.....:shrug:

    So your cousin sneaking off to work out as a regular anonymous person came to the light; but Ben being one of the most famous athletes managed to hide all his secret training from coaches, teammates and local sports media?

    Tomlin also said he has no issues with the plays Canada calls. So pick your flip flop

    That's not what he is saying. He is saying Ben lies regularly in order for it to be more dramatic. Is it purposeful and done with bad intent? No but its the little white lies we tell. My doctor says to me on Thursday I wish you had let me know you were out of your cholesterol pill your labs are off and I don't know if I should adjust your dosage. I said doc it is like 180 points down from last year though. True so it is working to a certain extent. I didn't tell him yeah and my wife not allowing me to have hot dogs 3x a day helps too.I could sit here and tell everyone on the board that my new diet cut my bad cholesterol in half but lets be real its the medication. So when Ben says he doesn't work out or isn't obsessive about breaking down film he isn't being entirely truthful but still wants that OMG thats amazing he was quarantined for almost 2 weeks and comes in cold to sling like Ben of 10 years ago? yes and no

    Yeah because someone that owns multiple places... like the huge place He has out in Georgia..it would be really hard 2 do.
    Hell M. Vick had dog fighting going on for how long...that coaches, teammates, and Local media didn't know about???...Yet working out in private would be impossible. LoL. Hahahaha

    Vick had every reason to keep the dog fighting ring a secret because if it was found out he could go to prison.

    Everyone at the dog fighting knew to keep quiet about it.

    He was still found out and went to prison.

    Really bad example.

    How is Hiding a illegal operation a bad example.....from someone Hiding something not illegal. If You can Hide one ....You can hide the other...:shrug:.
    LoL. Never mind....You win....It would be totally impossible 2 do so....on all the places He owns.

    Vick was not able to conceal illegal activity. He did not hide it. That's the point.

    If you can't hide something everyone in attendance is secretive about you cannot hide something legal there is no reason not to talk about.

    Any trainer who trains a top NFL player needs others to know he is training them to generate more business and revenue. Brees trained with Quest 10. Brady trains his TB 12 method with I think Alex Guerrero IIRC. It's not double top secret.

    You have no proof of Ben training in the off-season but say he was; I am saying Ben is not a liar and chose not to train much in the off-season. Why are you calling Ben a liar? Makes no sense. What is wrong with not over training and resting the arm especially for the QB who has taken the most hits in NFL history? Why is it a negative to rest?

    And of course he has studied film during the season. I don't know who it was that created the straw man that someone said Ben doesn't study film. Every NFL player studies film.

    Now it's just season??? Maybe if You don’t know what I'm arguing You should read all the post in the thread. Not just mine, and You would see I'm arguing multiple things. Now I not even sure what You are saying anymore. He never works out, he only works out at the training facility. How about go back and read Your own comment that this all started from,and everything written afterwards, and then maybe You will see what I'm getting at. Otherwise this could go round, and round, and round for many days. I'm not the only one that tried 2 explain what I was talking about.

    My first comment was literally "Ben has stated he doesn't do much in the off-season."

    ?

    So did that mean all His off- seasons....Just the one He got hurt on, this offseason????
    Never mind. I'm bored with this. You missed everything I was trying 2 say. Seems only thorn058 got what I was getting at.
    So You win.
    You are right....I'm wrong....You are Smart ...I'm dumb, You are Handsome....I'm ugly....You are all that ,and a bag of chips....I'm just the bag. :thumbs_up:

    They study during the week on company time. Then there are film junkies that obsess over it and do it on their own time. Ben will never be confused with the later.

    Ben is absolutely confused with the latter by some on this board, and against Ben's own admissions to the contrary. XD

    To me, these are for similar reasons. There is zero benefit to Tomlin saying in public that he disagrees with his OC. So, he says he has no issues.

    The folks that are truthful with the media, like Jim Mora and Dennis Green, people remember them. And not, in a way they want to be remembered.
