Interesting read about how Jason Taylor prepared to play (1 Viewer)

Some of the stuff he did was really messed up. And I am guessing it is not out of the ordinary

I stopped reading right here:

He was just a few blessed hours from having his leg amputated. He played games, plural, with a hidden and taped catheter running from his armpit to his heart. His calf was oozing blood for so many months, from September of one year to February of another, that he had to have the equivalent of a drain installed. This is a story of the private pain endured in pursuit of public glory, just one man’s broken body on a battlefield littered with thousands of them.

These guys deserve every penny they make.

No wonder he sucked so hard with the Redskins. Had no idea.

Maybe, but at what point is this worth it?

Jason Taylor is a frequent guest on The Dan Lebatard Show with Stugotz. They often joke about Taylor's extreme competitiveness.. He's one of those guys that simply will not accept losing even if it means beating his own kids in board games or getting in confrontations with Average Joes while playing pick-up basketball games. He comes across as a nice guy and a funny guy, but a guy that will do anything to win.

Science has linked Toradol to plantar fasciitis

I had a buddy who played in the NFL for almost 10 years, my jaw dropped at what he had to do to get ready to play in a game; draining both knees, shots in his shoulder, shots in his knees - every week of the season. The "hangover" from all these procedures would leave him pretty much an invalid until Wednesday when he could start getting more shots. I never begrudged him the money he made.

NFL players instead of going to clubs to pick up chicks they should hang around hospital emergency rooms and try to get with the hardest working nurses.
