This is David Diehl, retired OL for the NY Giants, playing weight on the left, post retirement on the right.

Brady might not be done yet. One more contract in his future?

While watching the NFL it’s easy to forget these days are freakish giants in superb condition for what their jobs are.

When the refs, coaches or media talking heads stand next to these guys it becomes obvious just how huge they are. I worked with a guy who went as far as the combine but got blown away by the competition and he was huge, quick and smart, too.

^^^^ Not just the NFL ... all professional athletes in every sport imo.

Paul, when you had an 80 mph fastball, most folks don't realize ... that was FAST ;). Most of us have no idea how weak, slow, gravity-bound, and underskilled we are .... and dumb if the sport is chess :D.

I needed three hands to catch a football .... they use one :).
