no kidding!!!! wow--maybe we could get a message to him about joining the *family* here ---It would be interesting to know how he takes care of himself---plus -- perhaps learn new stuff----
We could have Tex---give him some good tips and then maybe get tickets to see the games---always a method to MADNESS!

Barbara, then we could talk him into wearing the "Potty People" T shirt....... but wait, we probably don't have a large enough size to fit him!

I did some internet research and found this article from Sports Illustrated that seems to be the main source for the information on his intolerances. He also has a nut allergy. So he has to work hard to keep his calories up, because of his size and heavy exercise. The article gives a typical food diet for a day, which was interesting. He appears to depend a lot on soy.

Didn't know that- wow. I mean, cool huh?

This confirms that eating a "restricted diet" has not hampered him, quite the opposite. Any more info on why he has chose this diet?

Interesting stuff.

I wonder if he gets the dreaded D from his intolerances? And I used to worry about quick entry to a bathroom at work when the D hit. That's nothing compared to being in the middle of quarterbacking a football game that a billion people are watching worldwide. Whatever would he do if the urge struck then? Maybe we can have one PP shirt made in XXXL to send him.

Or maybe a shirt.... "intolerance does not mean inadequate" or something to that effect
