Really, is that a thing? The performance enhancement I mean. I'm well familiar with beet-induced panic attacks in the toilet.

Is that because of vasodilation effects?

It's a pretty interesting story.

I'm going to steal one paragraph here:

Beets are a great source of inorganic nitrate. Some of the nitrate ends up in your saliva, when friendly bacteria convert it to nitrite. Elsewhere in the body, the nitrite is converted to nitric oxide, which does... well... a whole bunch of things related to blood flow, muscle contraction, neurotransmission, and so on. Exactly which mechanisms contribute to the performance boost they see in studies remains unclear (and in fact, there are likely multiple mechanisms). One caveat: mess with the friendly bacteria in your mouth by swishing mouthwash or chewing gum, and the nitrate never gets converted to nitrite.

But if you want more info, google "Alex Hutchinson Beet"

Alex Hutchinson is a fantastic writer - he actually was a rocket scientist (no, not kidding). He now reads the most up-to-date scienmatific papers on sports medicine and physiology and stuff, and then converts it into English for dummies like you and me to read.

He's got a couple of books, too, and I recommend both of them.

Huh? Teams who finish low are still guaranteed a high draft pick.

What does Boston winning the draft lottery have to do with Detroit not getting a top 4 draft pick?

The draft lottery system will be fair to those who can’t compete for a cup.

But it doesn’t change the fact Detroit will get a top 4 pick.

It’s easy. Odds go up from first to 31st. There are no playoffs. There are no factors other than the games played. Worst team gets best chance.

Cantaloupe is the best melon.

Watermelon is disgusting

- Canada Cup

My mom used to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which somehow made it even worse.

Even the texture is disgusting.

Even in recent years, she would make a fruit salad, and it would have fantastic bounty from the earth: watermelon, blueberries, raspberries, banana - and franking cantaloupe balls.

Now I'm in a bad mood, and have to sit through a 3 pm conference call that will be a waste of time.

DAMMIT!!!!

*high fives*

Hated that they cost 10 bucks though. I was asked to get green grapes and they were the only ones in the store. Cost more than a club pack of lean ground beef
