Forgetting Brandon Marshall, Podcast Update, and Can You Change After 30?




Brandon Marshall scored a surprising three touchdowns against the Niners this past Sunday.  According to ESPN reports, there was a 75% chance that Marshall was not going to suit up for this game.  Thousands of fantasy owners took the news to heart and benched him.

It goes to show that if you draft your top fantasy players- you play him.  Especially in week two. If there's a 25% chance that my WR1 will play, I'll take that percentage over a borderline WR3/WR4 any day.

Its a lesson to be learned.  Start your top guns.


Podcast Update

I've been asked by many if the fantasy football MJK podcast will be back this season.  To answer your question, it has been put on hold.  The three of us devoted our time last season- researching, collaborating, and also committing to our full time careers at the same time.

Major life changes happen.  Jerry got married earlier this year.  Kim moved and adapting to new life by the bay.  We all switched companies in 2014, and I for one moved and adapting to personal changes as well.

Season one was a fun ride.  No matter how it plays out, I believe we'll be back in some way, shape, or form.  Stay tuned.


Changing After 30?

I recently met up with an old friend of mine, and we started talking about our current life, where we are now, and the good ol' days dating back to the early 2000's.  We recollected some of our memories - adjusting to life after high school, the college experiences,  and professional life after college.

The topic of romantic relationships came up and reached the point of the conversation about a person changing.  My friend strongly believed that the person we are now, is how we're going to be for the rest of our lives.   And since we have been in this planet for twenty-five plus years - our values, beliefs, and character all have been put in place for us.

What triggered this idea was my friend's belief that there's no turning back after a break up.  Meaning there's no chance my friend will ever getting back with an ex.  The person you had a relationship with is who they are, and the reasons why a couple breaks up in the first place will remain in-tact between the two of you for the rest of your lives.

Do you agree that you can't change after the age of 25-30?  Or do you think positive changes can be made?  Feel free to comment or PM me your thoughts.  I'd love to hear from you.

  1. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard, not changing after 30.

    We're all establishing our careers, finances, lives, etc. And if/when we all have kids, our values and beliefs will drastically change.

  2. We change as people and the environment changes around us. Our expectations and what we want from a significant other changes. However, the moment you set those expectations and what we want from someone, its hard to not revert back to that and thus it makes getting back together and being friends with your ex hard.. esp if feelings were hurt
