Well that makes some sense. I thought he looked awful, so this is a small comfort.

Tell Troy to drink a bottle capful of red wine vinegar with equal amounts of extra virgin olive oil

Woof it down like a shot of whiskey because vinegar is not good for your teeth

Vinegar kills bacteria. Ancient Roman soldiers used to drink a vinegar mix to prevent infection.

And tell him to eat some raw fresh garlic. Crush up some fresh garlic and mix it up with some extra virgin olive oil and make a sandwich on it. You may put some thin slices of tomato or some avocado on it.

Garlic kills bacteria, fungus and virus

In ancient Greece, Hippocrates strongly advocated drinking vinegar for his patients as an energizing tonic and a healing elixir. Oxymel, a medicine he often prescribed, was a combination of honey and vinegar; he instructed his students that they would find the drink very useful for expelling phlegm and promoting freedom of breathing. Hippocrates also used vinegar externally, for cleaning ulcerations and treating swellings, inflammations and burns. Meanwhile, the Romans made vinegar from grapes, dates, figs and rye. (The word vinegar comes from the French vin aigre; it was actually called aceto, meaning “acid,” by the Romans.) Caesar’s armies used sweetened, diluted vinegar called posca (poor man’s wine) as a preventative medicine (much as we take vitamins today), to cook with, for its antiseptic properties against insect and snakebites and to clean their wounds after battle (a life-saving practice emulated as recently as World War I). In the second century A.D., the great physician Galen prescribed the combination of honey and vinegar for coughs. It’s also recorded that Hannibal used vinegar to remove boulders in his path across the Alps by heating the boulders, then dousing them with cold vinegar, which cracked them into smaller moveable stones; and when faced with slippery snow, he used vinegar to dissolve it.

Troy needs to sit if he’s sick. We saw it this year, we saw it again. Troy looked bad enough that I am pretty sure Smith/Carter could do his job at least as well as he did. We know from last year that a sick troy is not troy.

This year he played out of his mind. He and Lebeau should have realized he wasn’t playing up to his potential at the half though.

Here’s to troy not eating any bad meat this week.

In my house we marinade Raven’s Quarterback’s in Vinegar.

a shot of vinegar in Flacco’s eyes would dissolve them into liquid

I hear that dissolving equal parts of vinegar and shampoo makes your hair lighter and smoother, thereby providing a solution to Troy being a half-step slower due to stomach illness.

What gives??!! I’m as interested as the average man with a science degree in subjects such as this, but this is a STEELER website, is it not?

I’ll drink goat piss and dance naked ’round the fire if it means victory BUT, can we not talk about salad recipes here… good God….

I will say this, I was screaming at Polamalu here and there ’cause he looked bad. That last TD by Sproules made him look half dead. Good thing is, there was a reason for it. We need the guy with all his strength this week.

Hey, maybe we get Troy to soak his head in vinegar and honey and garlic and goat piss… change his hair from black to blonde and he will have superhuman strength like Samson but they won’t even know it’s him…?

Tomlin Said in his Presser today that Troy actually strained his Calf in Pre-game warm-ups but that he will be OK for Sunday hopefully.
