You first, 'k?
And you are going to die sooner than I am.
That is if you are an elite athlete.
Bill Lankof has some interesting info in his Around The NFL column in this morning's Ottawa Sun. Writing about the death of NFL defensive back Jack "The Assasin" Tatum at 61 this week, the man who paralyzed, literally, Darryl Stingley [who passed away, wheelchair bound, three years ago], Mr. Lankof brings some interesting info to light.
Such as: "The average elite athlete will die by age 67, considerably lower than the 76-year life expectancy of the average American, and according the NFL Players' Association, the average life expectancy of an NFL player is 58 years."
Think about that when you are watching the Alouettes play the Argonauts tonight on TSN.
