This is a cool picture- anybody disagree with the "best built RB"?

I'd change Gore's vision to Shady's, and then Switch Shady's feet with Jamal Charles. I don't know that's tough, Shady is pretty slick

Man. As someone who battles depression and has looked up to Robin Williams when I get down, I'm kind of heartbroken... I'd be lying if I said I haven't teared up a little.

I'm not sure if this will help at all, but I used to battle depression when I was younger. What helped me is remembering that depression is a state of mind that can be changed. I changed that state of mind by doing things, whether it's being productive, praying, or helping others. When I'm idle, I find that's when the doubt begins to creep back in.

There's always help out there, man.

I wish people would look into it more often. Depression is too prevalent today.

Depression is a serious illness, it runs in my family big time, my grandfather from Tennessee to his own life. And I have my battles of getting depressed; I just have to lean on my family and get all the help and love I can get. Its a shame Robin couldn't get passed what he was struggling with but if anyone is having a hard time, please tell someone; anyone, even if it's somebody on here- majority of people are willing to help or listen, I know I have to reach out to others, otherwise I'm stuck in a hole and who knows how long or what could happen-

Yeah I have certainly had my problems with depression as well. I never talked to anyone about it until early this year. Since then I have been more open about it with people and have been medicated. I'm doing much better and have really started taking the prerogative in getting my life in order.

Suicide is an awful thing though. As I see it, it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Anyone that ever has a suicidal thought should immediately seek help.

That's awesome you were able to open up about your struggles this year, and are doing a lot better. It can be very hard to ask for help, you get a feeling of embarrassment and can be worried about what people think. But people just need to get passed that before, like you said, someone makes a permanent decision to a problem that can be treated. Awesome man, and sharing your story could really help someone.

Go Vols!

Same here, man. I always have gravitated towards humor when I'm down in my valleys and Robin Williams was an easy comfort zone due to his history with similar struggles. It's odd to say but I've felt kinda lost since hearing the news. It truly is heartbreaking.

Exactly my thoughts as well. Normally don't get as upset over these ridiculous celebrities, but he is different. Thanks for the kind words though fellas. Anyway... I need some football soon before I go nuts!

I've never struggled with depression myself but am very close to someone who has. While much prayer and a deep faith in the Lord can help your spirit, there may also be an underlying chemical imbalance that needs to be addressed. I only say all this to take the meds before it's too late.

It is so sad to hear when someone who struggles with depression takes their own life, but I understand it. That's why the Robin Williams news was so saddening. I can only begin to imagine the internal struggles he faced his own life.



And for WarMachine, I hope your mom continues to do well and never has any recurring issues from her stroke. We will never understand why the Lord sustains some people longer than others on this earth, I choose to be joyous for every day I have with the ones I hold most dear. I also look forward to the day we have conquered death and our failing bodies/minds and don't live in fear to lose those we love.

Thanks Brillo! I talked with her last night and she is still doing well. I'm hopeful that this will spark some efforts for her pursuing better health, but you're right, this place is just temporary, and we're not guaranteed tomorrow. So don't take anyone or anything for granted.

Still in shock over Robin William's death. I don't think it's sunk it for me that he is no longer with us. Seen so many great movies with him in them. Did anyone on here watch Mork & Mindy a long time ago? Anyone that old? I feel ancient but age is only a number I suppose.

Catbone, hang in there sir. It will slowly start to get better with each passing day. Keep your head up and think good thoughts like its almost football time in Tennessee!:clapping:

WarMachine, Sorry to hear about your mother having a stroke. My grandfather had one several years ago during the holidays. He is still around and is doing as good as can be expected. Went to visit him on Sunday for his birthday. So I understand where you're coming from on that one. Just treasure each day with your mom. :hi:
