Heavy

Isn't there something wrong here when a person weighs 330 pounds as did Thomas Herrion of the San Francisco 49ers? Yes, they say his weight was not unusual for NFL lineman even though medically it would be for anyone else. So now people do not understand the reasons for his untimely death. Well, duh, shouldn't this be a wakeup call for all people who are overweight? Not only do we have overpaid CEOs in this country but we have a lot of overpaid professional sports stars a lot of whom are seriously overweight. No, I don't expect any team in the NFL to suddenly set a weight limit of say 250 pounds for players as that would put them at a defensive or even offensive disadvantage, but this super sizing of everything has got to stop. Where will it end if at all? Not, one hopes, in the early demise of other young and vibrant people who have a whole lifetime ahead of them.
