Clearly Incognito is NOT one of those people. BMI isn't perfect, but combined with body composition and metrics like waist to hip ratio, it's not difficult at all to classify the vast majority of people as overweight, obese or morbidly obese. By those measures combined, I have no doubt that RI is in fact morbidly obese, trust me. Do you work in medicine? Edited April 12, 2018 by horned dogs

{::'KayCeeS::} Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 This depresses me big time. Another hole in what seems like a sea of them. I think the odds of us trading up just went to slim to none. Which might be a blessing in disguise. Now we may stand pat and just draft 6 players in the first 3 rounds. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Still, what is our OL going to look like? And will they be able to block a Lego?

"Never trust a man who says trust me" OTOH, I do know that many NFL linemen are asked to be obese - so really we're quibbling about the adjective attached to it. 51 minutes ago, jmc12290 said: It's not.

And as WEO said, he likely has fatty liver from excessive carb intake, which can lead to cirrhosis, and a high protein +/- creatine diet can lead to kidney damage. Since he said he wouldn't be coming back even with a new deal and the abruptness of this, I believe him when he says he's retiring for health reasons.

He seemingly gave an ultimatum and then got called on it and pushed the chips in that it was his choice. Not that it matters really...

His only choices at this point are retire of play for the Bills.

If he's spilling protein in his urine it's likely because he has or is getting diabetes. That's not "kidney failure". I'm sure RI's been warned in the past by his doctor about his unhealthy weight (no matter how prized it is in the NFL at that position) and he is pointing to mildly abnormal lab data to, as No Saint concluded, cover for his rash decisions this post season.

He obviously embellished the extent of the damage to his organs, but I have no doubt there is damage. I doubt however that anyone believed he was in imminent danger of dying. As for his "rash decisions," what are you talking about?

In the medical community, if there's a one in 6 billion diagnosis, you do not make that diagnosis.

Firing his agents via twitter after he woke up one day and realized he didn't like the deal he willingly agreed to. Quitting the NFL (also via twitter) with millions on the table and blaming it on mild chronic lab abnormalities and claiming he was in the throes of multi-organ failure... Those rash decisions.

So let me get this straight. RI took a pay cut a month ago but just within the past week discovered and/or got mad over it. And because he really wanted that $1.675M he gave up, he's going to retire and give up $5M for 8 months of work, the last time he'll ever come close to making that much money in his life? Yeah, that makes no sense. No, what makes sense is he recently visited the doctor and is (finally) worried about his health and decided he was going to retire, hence the reason he fired his agents ("a new direction") and then proclaimed it to the world. In any case, his days of playing for the Bills are over. You should be ecstatic.

You and I both know that there are no "new" lab results he would have seen that were so shocking that they would suddenly make a guy like this decide his health is worth more than millions of dollars. He will prove no great loss. he was at the terminus of his career anyway and the Bills obviously knew this.

To be fair- with his erratic behavior he may have not actually fired his agent (sending a nasty tweet doesn’t count)... and even if he did I believe there’s a brief window before you can hire another (cooling off period of sorts) Firing the agent, allegedly saying he’d play at the right price and then saying the bills had til Sunday... leads me to believe he threatened and the bills said “sorry to hear that, let us know if your playing but it’ll be under the contract you just signed” and Ritchie then blew up his health problems.
