Its possible. There could be a ton of factors. Theres several other studies, some more recent that say similar things. One even mentioned DTs have a higher "early" risk. Another mentions the pool are high risk to other conditions, such as sleep apnea and hypertension. My own feelings are that big strong 300 pound men, fat or otherwise generally don't live long lives for an assortment of reasons. Your right, not sure it makes it irrelevant. Also if you read my post and go down the list in the searches there are several other more recent studies that support this as well.

I attached the pdf from CDC. If you google Cardiovasular disease amoung NFL linemen like 50 supporting articles pop up. Let's also add that Star himself has displayed CV symptoms before, and though he was later cleared its not impossible he does have other underlying issues. Making assuptions about Star's BP and blood sugar seems a bit silly. I've no clue if they are normal. Appendix_E_NFL_Notification_FINAL-508 (1).pdf

I think you're all spinning your wheels on this one. NFL DTs are high risk for CV. Lots of studies support this, including via the CDC and that's really the bottom line. I like Star and hope he shows. Not sure what the deal is. I think it was a mistake to not support the team, but if he is working hard and comes ready will forgive.

There were several folks who did believe he would lose weight.

What i learned: I forgot Jim played any football after like 1988. I know he was with philly for a bit, but do not recall Browns gig, and completely forgot GB back up job. He sounds like a real jerk, and i wouldnt trust anything he says. The fact he would even tell this story not realizing how it sounds shows me his ego is still huge.

We will find this draft has more busts than most, but I also predict many late round gems. Tough to evaluate this year. Many of the draftniks said that, so giving instant grades even more ridiculous.

My general vibe was this was a poor draft, and my gut here feels akin to the old drafts where we all rationalized your Duke Prestons and Derek Schoumans. Bills needed to trade up to get Etienne , Hariss , or Toney as the playmaker to upgrade the offense. They failed here...or didnt bother. We needed a first rate KR too, but didnt act on this till round 6. Rosseau is an opt out player, and I'll make no bones about the fact that this generally turns me off. Bills overthought things....

I think the Bills should have grabbed a RB.

Just not a fan of the draft so far. Hopefully I'm wrong but seem to be overthinking things.

Luxury project...hate pick. Carter right there to be had.

Texans stupid pick. They are bereft of talent....

Good player....preffered Carter.

Decent RB and TE options

Would be a decent draft if they had the usual steeler strengths. Its like they are stuck in denial that they need OL and QBs and their LBs are weak.

Man thats a silly call....

Steelers are delusional. They're killing themselves.

Relax...you're nothing till you're something. Miami and the Jets been drafting WRs and RBs for years, sir.

I'm not a giant fan of Dunn.

I like the Rousseau pick all things considered , but Bills blew it by not making a move up to draft Etienne. I also think the Steelers really needed more than another RB. I think they are in fantasyland about the talent on the team.

Im hoping the bills trade up for Carter from NC...

The no close ups on Greeny is getting weird at this point.

Good pick for Bills

2:30 on clock they show first bills fans of the night on ESPN.
