Vinny Testaverde never really excelled at one particular skill set to help take his teams to the next level, but his longevity in the game has allowed him to become one of the most notable quarterbacks of all-time. With twenty-one seasons of pro-football under Testaverde's belt, his durability is a testament to his legacy as one of the greats to ever take a snap underneath center. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Vinny Testaverde played four years of college football at the University of Miami from 1983-1986. During his tenure with the Hurricanes, Testaverde became one of the institution's allt-ime leading touchdown passers with 48 and won the Heisman Trophy as a senior.
Vinny Testaverde was drafted 1st overall in the 1987 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he would play the first six seasons of his lengthy NFL career. He would also go on to play for several other NFL franchises including the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets (2x), Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, and Carolina Panthers before calling it quits in 2008. His best play as a starter came in his first season with the Jets in 1998 when he threw 29 touchdowns with a passer rating of 101.6. Unfortunately, most of the teams he played ended up with losing records. Testaverde's 123 losses is the most in NFL history by a starting quarterback, but upon his retirement he held top ten records for career passing yardage (46,233), career touchdown passes (275), and completions (3,787).
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
