Michael Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 http://www.sptimes.com/2006/01/29/Sports/A...e_problem.shtml >A 1994 study of 7,000 former players by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health found linemen had a 52 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease than the general population. While U.S. life expectancy is 77.6 years, recent studies suggest the average for NFL players is 55, 52 for linemen.<
Just Plain Ruff Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 wasn't the Refridgerator a lineman???? They are huge guys with big muscles but some pretty good size BMI numbers
spenac Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 What the #$%^@& are you talking about I think I'll rip your @#^!&* heads off. I have never taken steriods or had a head ................umm what are we talking about again?
crotchitymedic1986 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 whats really sad is the players from the 60's -70s who didnt have the chance to make big money like they do today. They have all of the same injuries, but no money to pay for their healthcare. The NFL should step up and help the old guys.

Dustdevil Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I'm sure the steroids don't help either. I'll take the steroids anyday.
