Exactly.

And, with a good offensive line most of his career IIRC.

My dad, who will be 75 this year, who is a veteran, and a colon cancer survivor...and also a LatG member, tells me and my brother regularly "getting old isn't for sissies!"

I resemble your quote, Mike. Age has told me that I can never really sleep more than seven hours. Should I exceed this amount, something brilliant might happen, including dislocated ribs or shoulders. I thought grinding my teeth in my sleep as a kid was annoying . . .

On the topic of pro-athletes, most don't realize that being a pro athlete is one of the most physically unhealthy pursuits possible. If you can still walk without a cane by age 35, you didn't try hard enough.

R.I.P. Rodney Dangerfield, by the way.
