Weren't there still players working second jobs during the offseason up into the 80's? I feel like the players now do not give their bodies the rest they need.
They push their bodies to the limit year round and that can't be healthy. It's like redlining your engine every single moment that you're driving. How long before your car suffers a setback?
Take the spring and summer off, drink some beer, eat some bbq, chill the fuck out. Get healthy and come back hungry.
