It's a Hindu greeting and it just means, 'I see the god in you. I respect you. Foster is not Hindu but has studied Hinduism, Buddhism and other cultures and religions "just to get a feel for people," he said. Daniels was expected to play snaps against the Colts in his first game back from a knee injury, but he wound up on the field for more than He wanted to play and he came out clean, but think we go right back and he'll play his 40 plays again and he continues to get better.
He hadn't played in a long time and it's a tough road back, and he'll get there. He'll get there quicker than most. New line-mates Defensive end Antonio Smith commented on the arrival of free agents Adewale Ogunleye and Ryan Denney, who will provide much-needed veteran depth behind he and Mario Williams.

He's also known to be headstrong and difficult, a young man who once spoke in dinosaur shrieks during an interview in college at Tennessee. Here's an excerpt from the story:.
Playing in the sport that most closely aligns itself with religion, in which God and country are both industry and packaging, in which the pregame flyover blends with the postgame prayer, Foster does not believe in God.
For people who are struggling with that, they're nervous about telling their families or afraid of the backlash I was, for years. The headline, "The confession of Arian Foster," sounds a lot more ominous and foreboding than it should, really.
The man has struggled with his belief system? He's challenged what he was raised to fear and worship? Interesting — yes. Perhaps for some. But newsworthy? Gee, I don't know Yes, Foster plays in Houston and played in college in the Volunteer State, the artery of the Bible Belt to be certain.
Not everyone will relate well to Foster's admission, er, sorry But Foster is not just telling the world he does not believe in God, or a god, or any higher power, for that matter — he's spreading the word about it and about how it's OK to think this way.

The funny thing is that two years ago when I was a vegan I requested black bean burgers in the cafeteria, and they still have them. People still thank me for that because they're so delicious. How often do you do yoga and what type? During the season, I try to get into the studio at least once or twice a week.
Sometimes it's hard to stay consistent, especially if I'm beat up. I know it's good for me but with everything else I can't find the energy. We have a new regime and they keep us in the gym longer. I do Bikram.

It's good for balancing yourself and getting you more limber than you can possibly imagine. In football you use really quick twitch muscles. This elongates. My father played football when he was younger and his big thing was being limber and maintaining balance.
