49. Ron Jaworski

Longevity and finding his way bouncing around the league contributed to the legacy that Ron Jaworski left behind as one of the better quarterbacks the NFL has seen to date. While Jaworski may not have ever achieved the top accomplishment a pro-football player could achieve by earning the Lombardi Trophy, he did have a lengthy playing career which later led to broadcasting and the ownership of an arena football team. Growing up a three-sport athlete, Jaworski declined a contract offer from the St. Louis Cardinals in order to play collegiate football at Youngstown State University where he was selected to play in the Senior Bowl his final season with the Penguins.

In the 1973 NFL Draft, Jaworski was selected 37th overall in the second round by the Los Angeles Rams where he would end up playing third-string quarterback behind John Hadl and James Harris. In 1975, both quarterbacks suffered injuries that led to Jaworski becoming the starting quarterback and helped the Rams win a playoff game before he made his way to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1977 where his most prominent playing years were spent. 1980, was Jaworski's best year as a quarterback, leading the Eagles to an 11-1 record, earning Pro Bowl honors, the NFC Player of the Year Award, Bell Bert Award, and a trip to Super Bowl XV. Unfortunately, the Eagles lost to the Oakland Raiders, 27-10 and years later Jaworski lost his starting job at quarterback. Throughout his seventeen-season NFL career, Jaworski also played for the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs until his retirement in 1990.

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.
