That's s really good point regarding different different words for energy. I suspect some genre of writing - I'm thinking sports writing, particularly - likely get (or should get) fairly creative around describing, say, the vigor of an athlete. Maybe I'll read some classic boxing articles to see if it's true.
I also appreciate the note about different types of energy. I have run into this often myself in writing, that there aren't enough synonyms or alternatives to describe all its nuances. It's like how Eskimos have like 400 words for snow. We should have at least 31 for energy.
I can vouch for the fact that an Achilles repair is painful and requires a load of rehab. I had a transplant on my Achillles 4 years ago and it was a thousand times worse than my two knee replacements ( 3 weeks apart). As a Chicagoan I'm not allowed to like Rogers, but I will say that he is taking on quite a challenge.

Love it, let me know if you come up with some great terms!

This is exactly the analogy I was thinking of. Why didn't I write that?
I don't know ...
That could be a really fun post, to make up and coin a dozen new words for different types of energy.

What's the statute of hate limitations when a player leaves the Packers? Or is it a lifetime situation?
It's a lifetime ban
