I was checking out Deadspin.com for some sports news and came across this little paragraph about Mangini. No earth-shattering news, but it did make me laugh. "We congratulate New York Jets coach Eric Mangini on his first victory as coach of the New York Jets. We don't follow the Jets all that closely, so we were surprised to see that the 35-year-old coach (the youngest in the NFL) was so ... portly. He's only 35; you really should pack on that much extra flab until you're 40, at least. We don't remember him being that fat in New England. When we think of the new generation of team leaders, we imagine Sgt. Rock-types like Joe Girardi. But this guy, at this rate, isn't gonna make it to 50."
shit i would, that means we have another few super bowl rings at stake that we could lose...i like mangini, someone should fax him a good diet plan so he can lose some of that heart attack fuel hes got packed in his gut
I saw a photo of Charlie Weis today and it looked like he's put on even more weight - he looked absolutely obese and must have health issues, unless it was just a bad picture. How can these guys expect their players to be disciplined if they can't demonstrate the same thing themselves?
I was gonna say the same thing. Parcells is in his 60s and fatter than Mangini and has been that fat for a long time.
Sad thing is Mangini's father died young of a heart attack, and genetics play a big part in all of this. ...now I don't need the workout warrior Herm coaching the Jets either...
I know you didn't mean it that way, but quick, say something about hoping Mangini lives to a ripe old age. Seriously, before you jinx this franchise .
Yeah, I read an article about his brother and him constantly trying different diets and stuff because of what happened to their Dad. Rightly so, they're very nervous about it....
Weis had gastric bypass surgery, and then gained most of it back, probably will gain it all back. Stupid. I would think the Jets have a nutrionist on staff, he/she needs to put Mangini on a plan. We need him healthy for a few years.
