taylor was one of the best in the game on the field, but i'd have never guessed he was going through all of this off the field.
when i lived up in md, a friend of mine was friends w/ a running back for the r*dskins. used to play for atl. he was still one of the premier backs in the league with WAS. he had a bruising style. he told my boy that he had to drink a whole fifth of jack just to numb the pain enough to get out of bed on monday.
if anybody should be allowed to smoke weed (medicinally) its nfl players.
alchohol is 'legal'. but dude was fucking up his liver and who knows what else just to fight the pain of playing.
a line in that article was telling, that training staff and team doctors only cared about getting guys healthy enough to play. that's like in college where the team academic advisors only cared about getting us to do enough in class to be eligible.
peace & blessings,
