Sex with an older, more mature, and much more experienced woman was one of the best moments of my life. I was lucky enough to be seduced by a 42 year old mother and wife who taught me how to please a woman sexually and then keep her coming back for more.

These days, a predatory older woman who preys on younger men for sexual gratification is called a ‘cougar’ and the young man she sleeps with is called a ‘cub’. Her only role is to please her and satisfy her sexual demands. I work hard, but someone has to do it!

Why is an older woman a cougar?

In the wild, the puma is a majestic big cat that is graceful, graceful, and full of balance. That is also a very good description of a ‘cougar’ woman. I have been serving older women and cougars since I was 18 years old and have always found them to be the best teachers and companions.

Older women looking for sex with a younger man can be from all walks of life and all sectors of society. There is no set rule that defines a cougar, other than that he will be older than the youngster that is her cub. In my experience, all of the older women I had sex with were over 40 when I was in my late teens or early twenties. Sometimes called sugar-mommies and these days also known as MILFs.

Older women are not looking for love, just pure pleasure!

Women go cougars for many reasons, but one of the main ones is that she is dissatisfied with her current lover/husband/partner and needs a lover who can drain her sexually.

She is looking for a man who can attend to her sexually and intimately on an ongoing basis and wants to be the one in control. Women are attracted to lovers of younger men because he can usually maintain an erection longer, ejaculate many more times during a sex session, he will be stronger and have more stamina. To a sexually hungry woman in her sexual prime, he is a demigod! She will adore you, if you are ever lucky enough to hook up and enjoy sex with an older woman.

For most older women who enjoy sex with a younger man, there isn’t much of a problem getting pregnant, supporting her financially, or establishing a home with her. She is not looking for a husband, she is not looking for a commitment, she is not even interested in your family or what you do. She just wants to know that when she needs your manly progress, you’ll be willing to dive between her legs.

real hands on teacher

For the cub, the young guy enjoying sex with an older woman, you simply couldn’t find a better sex ed teacher…or willing participant! This is a true ‘hands-on’ teaching. Older women do not ‘theory’, hypothesize or speculate. Horny older women insist on practical lessons that involve full body contact. Often. In one night.

As a puppy, he will learn what sexual activities he enjoys and where on his body he likes them to take place. He will learn about the erogenous zones of a woman’s body and how to manipulate them together to bring her to an explosive climax. You will quickly know how to turn her on more and how to make her orgasm over and over again. You will be eager to experiment and be innovative. It will teach you to create new sexual games, new sexual positions and to use toys, vegetables, fruits… and chocolate. Be bold, be open-minded, and enjoy the experience.

Become an irresistible lover

This knowledge will be invaluable for your future life as a lover. You can put everything a cougar will teach you to great use with future partners and lovers. Your future girlfriends will be impressed with your sexual prowess and other cougars will adore your knowledge and sexual openness.

Knowledge is a powerful tool… but sexual knowledge has an influential domain of its own. When you know that you can satisfy any woman sexually, your confidence levels will skyrocket and your self-esteem will be limitless.

Most men have doubts and insecurity about their sexual prowess and this is easily manifested when talking to a woman. The woman senses her discomfort, her hesitation, her lack of self-confidence, and is instantly tuned out. Women love strong and confident men. And there is no more confident man than the one who KNOWS he can satisfy his sexual needs.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), better known as Obama’s stimulus, included many parts intended to save American jobs and prop up economic growth. Following standard Keynesian guidelines, the economic stimulus involved the federal government spending hundreds of billions of dollars to stimulate economic growth and consumer spending.

The stimulus was designed to attack the great recession of 2008 from all sides, and since President Obama had the support of a Democratic-controlled Senate and House of Representatives, he was able to get much of what he asked for and the final plan. it was largely the Obama Stimulus.

The economic stimulus included money that was divided among core categories that the president considered important. These included jobless relief, direct payments, infrastructure, health care, education, energy, homeland security, and law enforcement. Each of these categories was deemed essential to help move the economy forward.

With unemployment nearing 10% in 2009, it was essential to provide relief for the jobless, so the economic stimulus included billions to extend unemployment benefits through 2009 for those at risk of their benefits expiring. The bill also provided a $250 stimulus check for people with SSI and Social Security. These checks were a direct cash payment to those people.

Infrastructure spending has long been seen as a good way to get people to work fast and create an economic ripple effect across the country. The 2009 stimulus included nearly $50 billion for highway and bridge construction, public transportation, public housing projects, and clean drinking water projects.

In health care, the law provided a 65% COBRA subsidy for 9 months to apply to workers who had been laid off between September 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009. This, as well as the extension of unemployment benefits, was designed to help those who couldn’t find work in the deep recession.

The economic stimulus included more than $50 billion to prevent cuts to education across the country and secure teaching jobs. There was also money for school modernization programs, Pell Grants and Head Start. In addition, there were billions for clean energy programs, home weatherization programs, fossil fuel research, and other research and development.

For security, the law included billions for national security programs, including the modernization of airport control equipment and port security. There were also several billion for state and local governments to hire police officers and buy equipment.

In addition, the economic stimulus included many tax changes to lessen the burden on taxpayers and stimulate economic growth. These included new tax credits for wage earners, a solution to the alternative minimum tax, expanded child tax credits and college credits, and a robust home energy credit for those who upgraded their homes with newer, more energy-efficient equipment.

In all, Obama’s stimulus was designed to address the dire economic situation with a balance of spending programs and tax cuts that would revive the economy and, until that happens, provide a stronger safety net for Americans in need.

I recently received an email from a coach with this question: Can you tell me what my guards should do before and during the drive and how they should end up at the rim? As I prepared to answer the question, I understood what this trainer really wanted to know. Like any other skill in basketball, there are a number of skills that precede the final result. Let’s take a look at the secrets to shooting at the hoop. In this article we will analyze what happens before and during the drive to the rim.

There are many elements to consider as you look at this ability. There is an art to scoring with the dribble, as opposed to the coach telling his players to just “get to the hoop.”

Before

1. The first thing is to clear your defender. Of course, there are a multitude of ways to do this. 2. Knowing that you are on a clear or open side also influences the thinking of the players. SEE that the shot to the basket is possible.

During

1. Once by the defender, the ball handler should quickly survey the ground. Good teams will not let you pass and get to the edge. They will have established aid levels. By survey, I mean visually checking the floor for a path to the basket OR passing opportunities.

2. I have always taught the Stride Stop as a way for the dribbler to be in control but at the same time be strong on the ball. This is where many children get lost. They are convinced that they are driving him to the rim, eliminating any possibility of assists. A lot of players, right now, jump into the air to make a play. The stride stop is a controlled jump stop and pivot at the deepest point of penetration. It allows control, balance, good decision-making, shot possibility and pass opportunity.

3. If there is a clear path to the hoop, the ball should be brought to the hoop by the strongest method possible. Some players can take it hard with one foot. Others need to jump, stop, then go up and finish.

ending at the edge

1. Strength is the key. Protect the ball while going up with the ball. Use the term, “take the defender with you.” In other words, the key is not to let defenders contact to STOP your drive to the rim.

2. Concentration is crucial. Most players focus on impending contact rather than the rim. When this occurs, the contact becomes the focus, not making the shot.

3. The use of a blocking dummy and simulated defenders is good because it simulates contact at the rim.

4. Terms I have used over the years:

A. Finish at the hoop, which means they must shoot the ball as close to the hoop as possible. It makes sense that the less the ball has to travel, the better chance you have of making it.

b. Play THROUGH contact.

Counter Take the defender with you.

d. Expect Contact – How many times have you seen a player get fouled or hit hard and act like they HAD NO IDEA there was going to be contact around the basket? This is a mindset you can help your players develop. I use the term, “Take contact.”

A key in all this is the ability of the players to make DECISIONS, why? Because passing the defender is not a license to get to the basket. It just means they beat the first line of defense. A layup or power shot is possible, but so is a pass or jump shot (the midrange game). This gives players three options after beating a defender, not just one.

The Nigerian Olympic team, popularly known as Dream Team V, will play the Liberia national under-23 soccer team next weekend in the second leg of their African Games qualification. The game starts at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Nigeria.

In the first leg of the match played at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Complex on Saturday 16 April 2011, both teams settled for a 1-1 draw with Nigeria opening the scoring in the 33rd minute of the match from the penalty spot. , after Leicester City striker Daniel Uchechi was fouled in the penalty area. He mustered enough mental strength to score the first goal to the delight of the few traveling supporters.

Missing some of their biggest stars, the Nigerians had protested before the game about their mistreatment by the Liberian Football Federation before the match. The Nigerian Olympic team’s opening goal sparked a spontaneous reaction from their Liberian counterpart, desperate to impress his home fans who had turned out to cheer on their victory. However, the pitch was not helping his course, as it was not in the best condition.

However, their persistence paid off in the 63rd minute when attacking midfielder Johnson Samuel scored the necessary equalizer with a stunning header in the 63rd minute of play. The host would have snatched all three points in the last minutes of the second half after receiving a penalty. Hero of the under-17 team that won gold in South Korea in 2007, Oladele Ajiboye struck a decisive insurance to deny what would have been the winning goal.

However, he was replaced a few minutes from the end of the game when the Liberian player Ronaldinho was injured. The referee’s whistle brought recovery to coach Austin Eguaveon, who was very tense throughout the match. The reverse match promises to be a cracker considering the importance of the match for Dream Team V’s aspirations. The U-23 team will have the advantage of playing at home against the ever-vociferous Nigerian supporters club.

One thing that would go in favor of the Dream Team is the enormous talent available to the technical team. Rabiu Ibrahim, Nnamdi Odumadi, Ekigho Ehiosun, Ibok Edet and goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye would likely start the game which promises to be exciting and entertaining. Edo State Governor Comrade Adams Oshiomole is expected to be the special guest of honor during the game.

Alas, the long wait is over! Gone are the mind-numbing preseason games played between backups desperate for a job, gone are the boring reports of which undrafted free agent signee is having a strong training camp. Finally, all the NFL talk is finally ready to end and we can enjoy professional football once again. With the many burning questions for each NFL team set to be answered in the days to come as Week 1 kicks off, here’s a full prediction of which teams will be the winners of their division and among the contenders for Super Bowl XLVIII:

AFC North: Baltimore Ravens – Although there was a mass exodus of players, including Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, the Ravens are still the reigning Super Bowl champions. Joe Flacco proved his worth last year during the NFL Playoffs with some incredible shooting, and he has the tools to lead this team back to the playoffs. Meanwhile, Ray Rice is a terrific runner. His division is always very competitive, but I think the Ravens should come out on top.

NFC North: Green Bay Packers – While the other three teams improved in the off-season, this division has been owned by the Packers for as long as I can remember. Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the league, and with him at the helm, the Packers will always be the favorites to win this division.

AFC South: Houston Texans – On paper, a Super Bowl favorite, the Texans have playmakers all over the field. Matt Schaub has a great arm, while Arian Foster and Andre Johnson will rack up dozens of touchdowns. The only thing standing in their way is winning in the clutch, and this team hasn’t done that yet, coming up short in the last playoffs.

NFC South: New Orleans Saints: Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons have been contenders, but I see them losing steam this year. Meanwhile, the Saints have head coach Sean Payton back, while Drew Brees is entering his final years as a star player. Something tells me the Saints will be a major force in the NFC this season.

AFC East – New England Patriots – Forget scandals, forget Tim Tebow. This team consists of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and the pairing has won nearly every divisional crown since 2000. With their rivals struggling for healthy, manageable QBs, the Patriots could win even by default.

NFC East – Philadelphia Eagles – Probably the most competitive division in which every team has a legitimate chance to win, I put my money on Michael Vick and Chip Kelly’s new high-speed offense. I feel like Vick is always an intriguing prospect to win a game, and that his new coach will bring out the best in him. Playmakers LaSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson will make sure the Eagles get the better of their opponents, even though this division is totally on the line!

AFC West – Denver Broncos – Almost a done deal, Peyton Manning is entering his senior years and team vice president John Elway has assembled the team needed for them to win another NFL championship. After wresting Wes Welker from the Patriots, I expect the Broncos to win the AFC and probably the Super Bowl too, sending old Manning off to retirement in style!

NFC West – Arizona Cardinals – That’s right, the Cardinals are about to take this division away from you. The 49ers will experience the typical hangover that follows Super Bowl losers, while I don’t think the Seahawks are as good as everyone thinks. Enter the Cardinals. With veteran quarterback Carson Palmer joining Larry Fitzgerald, and rookie defensive playmaker Tyrann Mathieu poised to become NFL defensive rookie of the year, the Cardinals are expected to do the unexpected.

Earn money and be happy in the process? Wasn’t money supposed to be the root of all evil? Well, if we think about it, most of the same principles for making money are the same as for being happy. Here is a list of seven keys to making money and being happy in the process…

1. Think happiness first, money will come later

When I was younger, I majored in business in college (which I graduated from). I used to go to my business professors and tell them how I wanted to get into a new business venture every time I saw them. There were two problems with this. (1) I am a writer first, not an entrepreneur. (2) Therefore, I should not have majored in business in the first place. The point is that I was chasing money first, and I thought happiness would follow, either way. The point is, I never failed at any of those great business ventures. The reason for this is that I never started.

If you want to become truly wealthy (meaning in mind, spirit, and monetarily), you have to do something you love. Whether it’s painting, cleaning, baking or writing, if you do what you love, the money will follow. If not, since nothing in life is guaranteed, then you could at least say that you tried to live your dreams, but keep trying and it will eventually happen. Remember, there is nothing noble about conquering the world and losing your soul in the process.

2. Use the power of your subconscious mind

Your nervous system consists of two parts, a subconscious part and a conscious part. Conscious is when you do something while being aware of what you are doing, like tying your shoes, writing, hugging someone, etc. All these actions happen when you are thinking. Subconscious actions occur when you are not thinking, such as your heartbeat, your breathing, etc.

Let’s now illustrate the difference between the conscious and subconscious mind, and how they interact… First you start learning to drive a car. you are clumsy Everything you are doing is extremely conscious and robotic, hit the gas, check speed, watch lanes for no weaving, etc. Now, when you drive, you simultaneously put on your makeup, talk on your cell phone, eat breakfast, etc. You don’t even think about it. You do it all unconsciously.

Whenever you work on a problem, such as a job or a personal problem, you can consciously, clumsily, and robotically work on it yourself. Another, much easier way to do this is to work on the problem using your subconscious. Ask infinite intelligence for answers, or that silent voice in your head. Once you activate your subconscious or that “silent voice” you evoke an infinite intelligence that will help you reach your goal.

3. Visualize

Visualization is perhaps the fastest way to activate your subconscious mind. A good exercise to try is to visualize each of your goals, each goal for 30 minutes as having been completed. For example, if your goal is to get a job, visualize yourself working at that job. Visualize the new car you will drive, etc. As you evoke your subconscious, it will send you instructions or “hunches” to try to get you to your goal. Also, with these instructions you can reach your goal, if you just listen and apply them.

4. Set goals

Without goals, we perish. This was illustrated by Viktor Frankl, who was in a concentration camp. In it, he discovered that the prisoners who survived were the ones with a goal: a reason to live. Obviously, then, having goals is essential to life and happiness. However, setting goals is also essential to making money. When it comes to money, jobs, start-ups, companies, etc. You need a target to aim for. How much money do I want to earn? What position do I want to be in? If you don’t have an objective or a goal, you will walk in circles and get nowhere. How could you aim without a target? If you have a goal for what you want, you can program your subconscious to tell you what you want, and you will quickly get closer to your goal. Believe in yourself and listen to that inner voice within you. The combination of belief, subconscious, and action is omnipotent.

5. Think positive

Positive thinking evokes your subconscious. The reasoning for this is found in a parable… Your conscious thoughts are seeds and your subconscious are the plants that grow from those seeds. Whatever seeds you plant in your subconscious mind, whether positive or negative, are immediately taken up by the subconscious mind and planted there, germinating into a plant in the subconscious mind.

If the seed is positive, it will germinate into a positive plant that will bring good results in the conscious mind and in your outer world. Good things will happen to the person, as the subconscious will send instructions to the conscious mind to do something positive. These instructions will come to you in that silent voice that will tell you what to do. If the instructions are negative, you will subconsciously be programmed to fail and face unfortunate circumstances, as the silent voice will lead you to self-destructive behavior.

Also, if you want happiness, plant positive seeds. What job do you want? What friends do you want? What kind of person do you want to marry? View tasks as completed. Always remember, every thought you consciously have is a seed. The subconscious cannot tell the difference between a positive or a negative seed, it just lets the seed grow in the subconscious mind. Therefore, watch your internal dialogue and what you tell other people about yourself with vigilance because what you say may soon become your reality.

6. Believe in yourself and in others

This is important to be able to set goals and make your subconscious work to achieve your goals. However, believing in yourself and others is also essential for good social skills. Social skills, according to Dale Carnegie represent 85% of success at work, they are also essential to be happy. A man or a woman cannot be happy by themselves, they need someone to make them happy, whether they are friends, soul mates or life partners, it is irrelevant. Hence, believing in oneself and in others is essential to make friends, be happy and have a satisfactory income. These two factors should not be left to chance as their importance is immeasurable.

7. Be bold

Always remember Goethe’s famous quote: “Everything you can do or dream you can do, start. Boldness has genius, power and magic.” This quote needs no explanation as it goes straight to the point. If you want to make money or be happy, you will have to do something about it. It’s good to read books about it; however, you won’t get any noteworthy results until you take action. You won’t be able to get these abilities by osmosis between you and the paper of the book. You can only gain these abilities through this “weird and crazy experiment” we call life.

—

I can’t stress this enough, but now you have to! Visualize, evoke your subconscious, be bold and try to live your dreams. Follow the instructions of infinite intelligence and you can have the best of both worlds: be happy and earn money. In fact, the instructions will be so precise, that if you follow them, you won’t know how it all turned out as if it were “chance.” However, you will know that it was not a coincidence, you simply programmed your subconscious and followed its instructions. Follow that little voice in your head, and all your hopes and dreams will move from your subconscious to germinate in your conscious mind, then manifest in your outer world as you follow its instructions. Very soon, you will learn that life is just a game, but it is a game you can win, if you just follow the instructions of the subconscious.

One of the hardest things for athletes in any sport is taking what they’re told about ways to achieve something and transferring it to what we call “feel.” We are taught to perform a series of actions to complete a golf swing, and then as we learn that swing, we think our way through it. The game of golf can be more difficult in this regard than, say, a basketball shooter who isn’t given time to think. Sometimes I think golfers would do better if they had a short time limit on their shots.

Many of us who have been playing golf for some time have experienced that sensation of feeling the blow. It usually happens when we start to play well and think about the golf course and let the golf swing take care of itself. That’s when we get into the “zone” and hit the ball better than ever. Then invariably some little thing goes wrong and we start to analyze our swing again. So the question: is there a way we can get into that zone more often and stay there?

The first thing to do is to have a change of attitude. Try not to be too analytical on the course when it comes to your golf swing. Save the analysis for course management when you play, because when you think about properly navigating the course, there really is enough to keep you busy. Try not to even think about the swing when you play the course; Leave the swing analysis to the practice area.

I’ve found two approaches when I’m on the golf course trying to get you to feel the swing. Most people do it when going to the ball. After lining up your shot from behind the ball, move about a foot further from the ball and take your full practice swing. The concentration should be on one thing only: making solid contact with the ball. After completing this, approach the ball and repeat the same swing, adding nothing or taking nothing away and thinking of nothing more than solid contact with the ball.

I use a slightly different approach that does not involve the practice swing. When I line up the shot from behind the ball, I visualize just making solid contact with the ball. I leave all the other stuff like carry, backswing, hip action, and tracking to muscle memory. Most of us have swung a golf club thousands of times, so why need to give it one more reminder? It will just get in the way of what the body actually knows how to do naturally. Not that this always works, but it makes us try again.

The legend that is Michael Jordan racked up great numbers in every statistical category that exists in the game of basketball. 32,292 is the number of points Michael has scored in his career. He was NBA Finals MVP 6 times. He was 5-time NBA regular season MVP. He played in 14 NBA All-Star games and was MVP in 3 of those games. I could go on, but the list of Jordan’s accomplishments is too long to mention here. Perhaps the most significant number, besides the number 23, is the number 6. Michael Jordan owns 6 NBA championship rings.

The Jordan 6 Rings Air Jordan Shoe is a celebration of Michael’s unique achievement. Jordan Brand released a Jordan 6 Rings “Championship Pack” that includes a pair of 6 Rings representing each of the teams Michael and the Bulls defeated en route to their 6 championships. Each and every pair used laser-printed graphics on the upper of the shoe. The graphics represent elements unique to each city.

Los Angeles-Michael’s first NBA championship was against the Magic and the Lakers. What a way to break through for Jordan! Magic against Miguel. A heavyweight title fight! The pair of Jordan 6 Rings that was released as part of the championship pack was a tribute to Michael Jordan’s first NBA Finals championship ring. The shoe features a white leather upper, a purple midsole, and beautiful laser printed graphics across the top of the upper.

Remember the video footage of Michael shrugging with arms outstretched as he ran down the court after hitting what appeared to be his 20th straight 3-pointer? Michael was on fire and the Bulls clinched their second title in as many years. The Jordan 6 Rings released to commemorate this title also featured a white upper with laser printed graphics. The midsole used black. Black was also used on the tongue and is the only shoe in the pack with a solid colored tongue.

The next victim for Phoenix-Michael was Charles Barkley and the Suns. It took Jordan and the Bulls six games to dispatch the Barkleys’ Suns and earn Michael his third ring. Orange and purple, of course, are the basic elements of the 6 Rings that commemorate this championship.

Seattle – This series featured two of the greatest chatterboxes of all time in the game. Gary Payton and the man himself. As we all know, Michael was the only one of the two who could talk and walk. The 6 rings honoring this NBA Finals featured a pine green midsole, white upper, and laser graphics celebrating the Emerald City.

Utah-The Jazz and John Stockton and Karl Malone had the dubious distinction of losing twice to Michael and the Bulls in the NBA Championship Finals. One of the best guard-forward combos of all time just couldn’t do it. Jordan’s final shot would bring him and the Bulls a sixth NBA Finals championship. An elegant metallic silver, light blue and purple was used in this pair of 6 rings.

6 NBA Finals Championships, 6 Rings, 5 Pairs of Jordan 6 Rings. Lots of numbers. All 5 of these Jordan 6 Rings are special because of the championships they represent. The list of Jordan shoes for basketball increased by 5 as a direct result of the epic achievements of the greatest basketball player of all time. It’s not too late to grab a pair of one of these 5 timeless Jordan shoes.

The use of pepper spray or capsicum oleoresin is legal for your personal protection and self-defense in most states. However, transporting defense spray or another incapacitating chemical or device (such as a stun gun) from one place to another can be somewhat tricky, especially if you are traveling by plane. Current airline restrictions are very strict and for good reason. The limitations exist to keep all passengers and employees safer.

What pepper spray products are allowed?

There are certain limitations on what you can actually carry while traveling by plane; specifically, traveling with any other incapacitating chemicals or devices is prohibited, and these rules are strictly enforced. The specific rules regarding pepper spray state that it is prohibited to carry a spray on your person or in your carry-on baggage. If you feel you need defense spray at your destination, you may be able to get it there since you can pack 4 oz containers or cans of pepper spray. or less in your checked baggage. Most purse- or pocket-sized cans of pepper spray you’ll find are generally 2.5 to 3 oz. range, and rarely larger than 4 oz., so this shouldn’t be a problem.

Tell the airline you have OC spray

If you choose to pack a small can of defense spray or a stun gun in your checked baggage, you must declare this to the employees at the baggage counter. They will probably want to inspect the can (this is usually required by law) and make sure there is a locking safety device to prevent accidental discharge while inside the bag.

While most self defense aerosol dispensers are small enough to fit in your bag or pocket, remember that you will be searched and will need to go through a metal detector before boarding the plane. Hiding the container can get you arrested.

Don’t hide your defensive spray in your hand luggage

If you think you’ll want your defense spray or stun gun for your personal protection at your final travel destination, then it’s very important to be aware of airline safety regulations regarding how to properly pack your spray. Unfortunately, if you try to get through security with the spray on your person or in your carry-on, it will likely be confiscated. Packing it securely in your checked luggage at the start of your trip is a much better way to handle the situation and make sure you still have it to protect yourself when you arrive.

Check all state and city regulations regarding pepper spray for your travel destination

Additionally, you’ll want to be sure to carefully review the laws regarding personal protective devices and chemical deactivation in your destination state. It is important to understand that there may be specific limitations on the legality of having OC spray in certain states, such as Massachusetts (requires a firearm card), New York (limitations at point of purchase), Wisconsin (limitations on concentration of pepper spray or other chemicals), Washington DC (pepper spray must be registered), California (limits container size), and Michigan (limits ingredients and container size). In Canada, pepper spray is completely illegal, so if you’re headed to Canada, leave the pepper spray at home.

It’s becoming that time of year where the weather can have an impact on real-life NFL games. As a fantasy football coach, it’s a concept you just can’t pass up. Yes, I will go on record and say so. Checking weather reports is required as a factor in the process of setting up your fantasy football lineup! This article will explore the impact of weather on the production of fantasy football.

It is necessary to realize that there are different categories of weather, all of which need their own discussion. This article will focus on rain, snow, extreme cold, and wind. In the context of this article, rain is defined as creating conditions where the field and ball are affected, so a light drizzle would not count. Similarly, for snow there needs to be significant buildup on the ground that will affect jogging players. Extreme cold is defined as temperatures close to freezing. Lastly, we’ll consider wind conditions defined as more than just a light breeze, we’re talking about those cold Sundays with gusty winds having an impact on the quarterback’s ability to throw the ball.

Our first instinct would be to consider any adverse weather a negative in regards to fantasy football production, however, that is simply not the case. Rain and snow actually seem to have a negative effect on defense more than offense. Looking back on the 2008 season, Week 16 saw inclement weather games in Buffalo, Chicago, and Cincinnati. Those three games produced five 100-yard rushers. Keep in mind that all of these performances came from the running back position, however quarterbacks and wide receivers can excel in windy or snowy conditions. While the quarterback may not be able to grip the ball as well, receivers have a huge advantage on slippery surfaces. Defenses are at a disadvantage in poor field conditions as it is more difficult to cut and maintain coverage.

While snow and rain are really favorable for offense, wind is another story. On days when the wind is blowing, quarterbacks and wide receivers will be greatly affected. All one has to do is think back to the 2007 season when Tom Brady and company were just riding over the top until they met Mother Nature in Week 15. The only thing that could stop the Patriots’ offense that year was wind. If you have a quarterback or wide receiver on your team scheduled to play in extreme wind, I suggest looking into an alternative.

Finally, there is the cold weather. Some of the warmer-weather teams are certainly upset by the extreme cold, which gives teams like the Green Bay Packers a huge home-field advantage toward the end of the season. Cold weather also has an impact on kickers losing distance on their kicks as the air pressure on the ball is affected. We came across an analysis that investigated the effects of extreme cold that showed within a 1998 data set that the home team won all of the extreme cold games. That’s right, unbeaten at home in the cold! The bottom line is that teams that are not used to extreme cold will see a negative impact on production.

In short, the weather is something to consider when establishing your fantasy football lineup in recent months. Snow/rain seems to favor the offense, particularly the running game. Stay away from defenders scheduled to play in the rain and snow. The wind is another story, since it can completely shut down the passing game. The extreme cold will affect kickers and visiting teams not used to such conditions. So remember, take a quick look at the weather before setting up your lineup, as it can give you the edge that makes the difference between winning and losing on NFL Sunday.
