Ok, I know you all think the fat man has lost his cookies. Why am I talking about Reggie Roby? On this blog? Well his death in 2005 scared me. For the next year I got back into better shape quit regular pop and started drinking diet. Have the best year of my life for diet and fitness. One of my hero's as a kid was dead. Well this last weekend the Iowa High School Football put Reggie into the Hall of Fame in Iowa. It got me thinking, he died at 43 and the fatman is 36. That is 7 years older then me. Think about it, my son would only be 8 years. I don't want to leave early in life and because I was to fat. Screw that, this is no longer about me be skinny or fitting into some old clothing. Its about maximizing my length on earth.
In the days after Roby's death, former Miami Dolphins head coach Don Shula praised Reggie Roby: "He was an outstanding punter for us and his booming kicks often helped us win the field position battle."
