Ya can't tell me he's all natural. The man is 57 years old, a trial attorney and has six kids! Where did he find the strength for that? And now we also have a 61 year old referee, Jim Quirk, putting Green Bay linebacker, Nick Barnett, in a rear naked choke that Chuck Liddell would envy. Even more stunning is the fact that the player threatened to file a grievance because he was subdued by a man twice his age!

I just wanted to assure everyone that I am absolutely serious about my concern for this issue and this is not some feeble attempt at comic relief for us before a monumental game against our archrival. Honest.

This is just ridiculous. Why is it that when a man takes care of himself, works out hard and eats right, that one is accused of taking steriods or HGH? Trust me, if you train hard, which Ed H. does, and eat right, you can look good until the day you die. Most people that don't workout think you have to be on something in order to look good at an older age. They are also jaded by the media.

On the other side of that.... Let's say he is taking something. You still have to work out hard and eat right. There is no such thing as a miracle drug. I myself workout hard 6 days a week. I'm almost 40 and I've never looked better. I have less bodyfat now than when I was in HS. You know why? Cause I train hard and eat right, just like Ed H. does. Yet I have friends who think I'm on something. They are just are not educated about training/ health and fitness. But to me it's a compliment.
