What Professional Athlete Is the One True GOAT of All GOATs?
Is there anything stupider than arguing about who is the greatest football player of all time? There is! Who is the greatest of all time in all sports? That’s right, who’s the GOAT of GOATs? Sure, it’s comparing apples and oranges, but we’re also throwing in some plums and peaches and mangoes. That’s a fiber-rich debate. How much weight do you give to, say, an athlete’s dominance of an era? (Woods!) Influence on the sport? (Jackie!) Versatility?
Stop Procrastinating and Make That Doctor Appointment
We’re just a few days into 2023, and the “New Year New You” energy is in the air. It’s the perfect time to finally make an appointment for your annual checkup. But you probably haven’t done it, have you? Avoiding the doctor is a guy thing. Most women have annual gynecological checkups. But men wait for a sign — like pain, blood or something about their penis, says Gary LeRoy, M.D., who’s seen it all in 30 years as a family physician in Dayton, Ohio. “Not necessarily in that order,” he points out.
The 8 Unspoken Rules of Health Club Etiquette
Recovered from COVID-15 yet? That’s how much weight everybody supposedly gained during the pandemic. (The real number is more like 12 or so pounds, but whatever, who’s counting?) It was the Dad Bod of 2021, the excuse everybody used for why their bodies had gone soft. “It’s not me,” we’d say, “it’s COVID’s fault!” And then we’d laugh and poke each other’s bellies like Pillsbury Doughboys.

They can sneak up on the middle-aged guy, revealing themselves in the harsh light of the bathroom. Are those man boobs? About half of men over age 50 show some increase in breast tissue, according to Bradley Anawalt, M.D., an endocrinologist and professor at the University of Washington. But are you actually growing man boobs? Let’s take a closer look. First things first: Are you overweight?
Credit Rehab: A Gen Xer Guide to Fixing Rotten Credit
Lousy credit can haunt anyone, at any age or in any income bracket. Like the 52-year-old still recovering from losing his house in the 2008 recession. Or the 47-year-old with a bum leg who’s suddenly slammed with medical debt. They’re everywhere—family guys and divorced men, white-collar and blue-collar. But they all have one thing in common: “They don’t know the first thing about credit,” says Martin Lynch, director of education at the Cambridge Credit Counseling Corp.
Why Having “the Talk” With Your Son Really Matters
The world has changed, at least somewhat for the better. Back when you were a teen, finding pornography still took effort, and you still relied on adults for some sex intel. Today’s kids are just one Google search away from a terrifying education. That’s why it’s more important than ever to have “the talk” with them.
