If we want to base things on past history, people are living longer than they did 50 years ago. There was a time when people would get a knee injury and their career would be over. Now if a player tears major ligaments, they are able to come back within a year. Diets have changed drastically. People in all sports are bigger and stronger and faster because they train year-round. Do you ever watch old NFL Films and the players talked about how they drank and boozed all night, and then played a game. Max McGee the night before the Super Bowl broke curfew and stayed out all night and he had the best game of his career. Guys do not do that anymore or to the level it was once talked about. I think these guys take care of themselves much better than that and that is why you have older players in all sports playing at high levels.

It might come with the territory, but if this can happen to them, it can happen to you. All of us are an accusation away from having our lives affected greatly. And you do not have to be famous to have the right person accuse you of something and you life is turned on its head. I tend to want more evidence than a person going to jail trying to tell the Feds things so he will not go away for a longer time. And when people say he has nothing to gain, that is just funny.
