    Maybe the same way we all get fat and bloated during football season except perhaps he enjoys NASCAR.

    It's funny though...I was thinking the other day that he's looking better than he normally does in terms of body fat.

    I think last offseason they said he worked extra hard and brought in a personal trainer. I guess it paid off, he had a great season.

    He is slowing down though. He doesn't run as fast as he used to.

    He just had his best year ever, in terms of throwing the football. Give me a break, Ben will be fine. If you want to worry, just worry that he stays healthy, if he is down, the season is over.

    Not complaining, but I did notice the size of his melon yesterday.
    Of course this will mean nothing if he leans out by training camp.

    I don't think Ben has ever been a low percentage body fat guy. Nor has he ever been totally ripped. He's just a big frickin' dude. I doubt he weighs any more or less than he did last year...

    The regular season would mean nothing without Ben getting all "fat and bloated" in the offseason. Sorry I couldn't resist ,it's the gift that keeps on giving. That saying by Real is a instant classic.....it's like festivus for the rest of us. Maybe he needs to go on one of those "deflation" diets,it's the new craze ya know.

    Prednisone will puff your face up like that. Perhaps he's using it for an injury?

    LOL! Some things you can't UNhear. Seems like I did read once though that his gameday diet consists of like 8,000 calories before a game or something crazy like that. A lot of athletes eat a lot of crazy diets. I heard Michael Phelps diet and it was not something you'd think an olympic athlete would eat. Then I realized he was a pothead who just had the munchies. LOL.

    I think Ben just suffers from getting his head crushed

    I'm crushing your head, I'm crushing your head!

    Because he's not nearly as active in the offseason as he was when he was single...WHICH IS A GOOD THING!
