Folks, you won’t find a more blue-blooded New York Giants’ fan than me. Which means that I hate the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys with a venom that only fellow sports fans can appreciate. But I’m also human. I have a family and take healthy living seriously. Well, for the most part…I love bacon and ice-cream as much as anyone. But I want to make the observation that Eagles’ coach Andy Reid also loves Cheez Whiz, as he mentioned in an interview on ESPN last weekend when discussing the beards he and his team have been growing during the team’s last few games and postseason run. Dude actually said the worst thing about his beard was getting Cheez Whiz caught in it. Have you seen coach Reid lately? Dude is an inflated version of his former self, and I fear for the guy’s life because being that large is unhealthy to begin with. But when you throw in the fact that he is a football coach and probably works 20 hours a day during the season, sleeps little, doesn’t work out and eats really, really bad food, it’s the formula for a heart attack, diabetes and a whole host of other problems.
No, I’m not a doctor, but I have high cholesterol and know a thing or two about how to live a healthy lifestyle. I also write a blog about NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” for Premium Hollywood, so I follow how folks like Erik a few seasons ago can lose like 200 pounds and win, and gain back years of their life. And Reid, lately especially, appears to be as large as some of the contestants on that show. The fact that he made the Cheez Whiz comment is all the proof we need without being a fly on his office wall.
Add to this the fact that Reid has dealt with family problems the last 12 months, and his heart attack risk has to be even more prominent. Andy, I know you coach for a team I hate, but as a football fan and someone who cares about the well-being of other humans, I implore you……after the season ends, go on a diet, exercise, and make the time to apply to be on “The Biggest Loser.” Oh, and stop beating up my team in big games!
