TOpic

I think the topic I am going to chose is Life After the NFL.  (Money wise and health wise) My interest in this topic came when I saw a documentary of a former NFL lineman that had since retired from the league.  When he left the league he was 320lbs.  Two years later he was 420lbs and with weight like that high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack etc. can occur.  They have to workout harder out of the league than when they were in it... A professional football player in the most physically demanding sport out there whom already has a workout routine that rivals none other who then has to workout even harder than when he was in the league?  And he is over 400lbs?  Sounds impossible.  I really think that with the approaching deadline between the players association and the owners (who want to increase the regular season to 18 games) something most definitely has to change.  With this being a current issue in the news and me being super passionate about it... sounds like a fit.
