BMI is a trash metric.  I'm 5'11 190lb and considered fringe for being slightly over weight.  And keep in mind im not 8% body fat like I used to be,  but I'm no slouch either.     It's just far to generalized a system to be effectively individually applied.  

Agreed that BMI is awful, but 8% body fat? Damn it man. If I ever get close to 10% I'll be really glad. 1,75m 78kg here (the slimmest I've been in 4-5 years). 5' 9" 173lb in gibberish, I guess. 

EDIT: In some charts I'm 1,77m, so I'm not sure about my height.

It was brought up before. Normal human beings weren't meant to weigh 300+ pounds, that can't be healthy.  Thomas had to almost force feed himself to maintain weight.  I've met Doug Dieken a couple times, and you'd never guess he used to be a NFL OT, with all the weight he lost once he stopped playing...  Here's an article from NFL.com....

PS- I talked about this once with my family Doctor, and we both got a laugh out of it. If you went by those BMI (body mass index) charts they use for us normal folks, every offensive lineman in the NFL would be considered morbidly obese. And as Doc Warren pointed out- the worst example of why BMI is BS for pro athletes is professional body builders, who probably have less than 3% body fat when they're competing. 5'6" 230 pounds of all muscle.

Last I saw it was in the 75 lb range, but that was in early February.

am no doctor, but that should reduce knee & back pain...if Bob Wylie taught JT how to fly? Top Gun may have a return

Not a lot of film in that filmroom, but good stuff.

Exactly my thoughts. If they dont watch film WHILE they talk, why couldn't they add videos of Myles or the people they are talking about in the edition? 

I kept picturing the slimmed-down Joe T opposite Myles... not as in LT vs. RDE, but as LDE. Joe looks 4-3 DE size now
