Shutdown Corner dropped an article yesterday that caught my eye. Terrence Cody, the Ravens 2nd round draft pick out of Alabama, was deemed tooo…. how do I say this?… hmm, too chubby to practice with the Ravens. Cody, nicknamed Mt. Cody in college, is an ultra-talented, ultra-big defensive lineman who demands a double team like the filthiest of porn stars. Regardless, he failed his conditioning test and was not permitted to practice.

I’m coming to grips with the fact that I will simply never understand…. Your drafted, you finally have an opportunity to fulfill your dreams and play professional football, not to mention make millions and millions of dollars. Celebrate for a week, sure, but to let yourself balloon up 30 pounds disregarding the consequences?? Jeez. How lucky is this idiot he gets to play in the NFL? I’d be busting my ass so I could be a stud and play for years. We’re talking millions of dollars bro. Oh well, I guess I can’t be too harsh because I’m not in their position and don’t know. But shit, what happens if you’re too overweight get cut and don’t get another shot? Then what?
