You might need to start...{{{gasp}}}...exercising.
You don't want the Redhead bailing because you get all nasty and mostly dead.

I am in fine shape.
That's not the problem.
Working too much and the stress that comes with it is the biggest problem, according to the doctor.

Well, I cannot in good conscience tell you to work less.

Yeah, because you definitely run five miles every day and eat a well-balanced diet ...

Who am I to disagree with the doctor?
We can settle this with a set of athletic competitions, if you'd like that...

Told myself the same thing. I'm in fine shape. At 34 right now and in a very high stress job working 60 hrs a week, a wife and 2 kids. I decided to start eating better and exercising this past March. I didn't realize how much better I would feel. It's changed my life. For the good.

Good for you. I think a lot of people don't realize what they're putting in their bodies — especially once they get as busy as so many people are these days — and how little they're doing to stay in good shape. It's not easy to do something about it. It takes commitment and a lot of work, so props to you for making it happen.

There's already a Knoxville Sports Media Combine that's been held the past couple of years. Not coincidentally, Wes and I have yet to participate in the event.

I wonder if Dooley would let Wes and Ryan use the Thunderdome of Tumbling...two sportswriters enter, one sportswriter leaves! You'd think Dooley would jump at even an offhand chance of Wes taking some punishment, right?

I used caffeine and anger to fuel my body for years, and then it started falling apart when I turned 30.
In short ... being old sucks.

it may suck, but it beats the hell out of the alternative....
