I used to be a non-anxious flyer but somewhere along the line I became the opposite of that and now I’m terrified of planes. Like freak out about getting on one the night before and had to do deep breathing exercises to survive. I think it’s partly just one of those things but mainly because they pack you in there so tight and you have such a small space to sit that I get really claustrophobic and trapped.

he said something early in the game about how the Niners only deferred because they were scared of being on offense in Ford Field. He made some snide comments about Harbaugh after he made a mistake trying to challenge a scoring play. And he and his whole team were doing the “pumped up excited” thing the whole game… until the TD.

And he’s been doing exaggerated, over-the-top fist pumps after every game the Lions have won. He’s a sore loser.

Harbaugh took the blame for it after the game and said he was a little too jacked up and probably hit Schwartz too hard during the game. Probably true as he seems to be the type who’d probably grab some shoulder pads and hop into the game if he was allowed to. Still….kinda classy move

I am a little late to the party, but re: your xanax…

I am a horrible flyer. I have serious panic attacks and the only thing that has helped is xanax.

I usually take .5 mg an hour before I board, and 1 mg right before. Usually by take off, I am asleep. This is for a flight of 1-4 hours. When I fly intercontinental, which I haven’t done before, I plan on taking 2 mg every time I wake up.

Also: I do sometimes drink a little on the plane if I wind up still being awake. 2-4 drinks.

Disclaimer: These dosages are NOT generally therapeutic and would never be advised by anybody with a medical background, nor do those people ever endorse mixing tranquilizers and alcohol. These are just the dosages that work for me because I require being totally blotto when I fly, and I am also a seasoned veteran with nigh tolerances to drugs and alcohol.

The fact those teams only won one WS, and that only because they played Cleveland, is pretty crazy. They always crapped out
