Remember when West Virginia was desperate for Bob Huggins to coach there a couple of years back and had to “settle” for John Beilein? Things change, don’t they?
Plenty to sink our teeth into this week, including NFL exhibition info and a college football futures play. First let’s talk about the tragic death of Thomas Herrion, the 330-pounder who was trying to make a career for himself in the NFL with the 49ers before dying suddenly following a preseason game in Denver.
You hear that the lifespan for NFL players is around 55 years old, a shocking number considering that one avoids any sort of infant or childhood disease or illness to get to be 21 years old or so just to play in the league. If that number is accurate (and who knows it is junk science from someone with an agenda, but it rings true), don’t count on it going down any time soon. Why? The players are absolutely huge and getting bigger all the time.
