Fat Eyes, Fat Hearts, Can’t Lose (Weight)
Two studies this year, one published in The Journal of the American Medical Association and another in The Journal of Pediatrics, found that weight problems among high school football players — especially linemen — far outpaced those of other male children and adolescents.
Now coaches and researchers fear that some young athletes may be endangering their health in an effort to reach massive proportions and attract the attention of college recruiters.

Uh oh. It looks like we’ve got a serious problem on our hands, guys. It looks like the Paper of Record has rehired Jayson Blair. How else to explain these bold fabrications? High school football players who are overweight? With jerseys that look about 1,000 sizes too small for them? I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure high school football players are in their mid-to-late 20s, and GORGEOUS.
What’s up with Smash’s boots in that picture? It’s like “on the field, I’m a lightning fast tailback who’s quick to temper, but off the field I’m a granola lesbian whose dream vacation would be a week camping in Yellowstone.”

And what’s with Jason Street having working legs? Shouldn’t he be wheelchair bound and yelling “I’m crippled and I want to listen to Nirvana”? And then Minka Kelly yells, without Texas accent, through clenched teeth?

Fat?? William “The Refrigerator” Perry ate kids like that for breakfast and, later, for “brunch”. And then he Superbowl Shuffled his corpulence into our collective hearts.
Also, our hearts shopped at Chess King.
Also, I am old.
That is all.

That FNL’s pic has got it all:
Smash is pointing to that one dimension of his character alone in the stands
Riggins is making me melt
Serenson is emailing plays because he is shy (or…yeah, that’s it)
Lyla is having chemistry with absolutely no one

More importantly what’s up with cheerleader’s cankles adorned in my socks from 4th grade.

Don’t believe that BS about them being fat. Well I do and don’t. If they really had any talent, and all that body fat. The scouts would tell them to lose the fat.

I agree with Erica and would also ask:
Why is it that the cheerleader’s peroneal muscles are any less luscious than the bio-boys’? Her fore-leg seems to have been overlooked by the PhotoShop gods. It is looking a little Heather Mills-y.
