I don't understand how a professional athlete can't keep himself in optimal physical conditioin on a constant basis in the 21st Century. This isn't the 50's and 60's where after the season ended athletes just sat around and didn't continue training.(which is why training camps are traditionally so demanding). We are talking about a guy who gets payed an obscene amount of money to play a sport and has fitness trainers, world class exercise facilities, nutrition plans, workout routines and others at his disposal and he shows up 3 weeks before the season begins 20-30 lbs overweight for three straight years?!?!That is unconscionable. What other profession would allow somebody to be that unprepared to do their job on such a constant basis?
