How many people are asking Jordy about his knee when he goes out in public, or looking to see if he limps? You think Steelers fans want to know if Bell can pass on the weed for a few weeks? Before he completely fell off the ledge, you think people didn't want to know if Johnny was flying to Las Vegas on the weekend?

This is no more about entitlement than any other question a fan or reporter has about a player. Whether it's injury, drunk, baked, fat, bad play calling, or lazy, if someone isn't playing or performing, people are going to ask why.

The public feels too entitled and it's sickening. Eddie cannot go ANYWHERE without some asshole asking him about his weight. Why? Because the PUBLIC feels they HAVE TO KNOW, (thanks coach). We don't put ourselves in their shoes because if we did, we would have some respect and decency when it comes to certain aspects, such as this. But who wants to think 10 seconds into the future? Shoot first, ask questions later and then whine about how awful everything is.

Satirically speaking here, we should demand the NFL have another option in Injury Reports that says 'FAT AS FUCK'. Would that make you all happy? Would you feel better watching the game on Sunday knowing the player is listed as FAT AS FUCK?

Whether a player is +10 or -10 lbs, does that change how you watch the game?
Does that change how you enjoy the game?
Does that matter one damn bit to you?
If it does, that says more about YOU than it does about the player.

How many times have you heard (guilty myself here) some idiot say "For X million you should be able to Kick/Punt/Pass/Catch/ETC better?" ... truly think about that for a moment.

Of course, just my opinion here, but certain things I have no interest whatsoever knowing or reading about. And on that note, I'm taking my uninterested ass outta this thread and letting you all waste your time talking about another man's weight.

Of course all this matters or we wouldn't be watching the game.

I do agree with you on the point about fans feeling entitled to the information and like you I don't really care what Lacy weighs or looks like now. All that matters is how he plays when the real games start and If he can perform then no I don't care if he is 10 pounds heavier or 10 pounds lighter but if he is fat as fuck and can't run down the field then it does change how I enjoy the game. If a fat as fuck guy can run the ball and be effective fine but you can't honestly tell me you would be just as happy seeing a 275 pound Lacy running out of gas and being tackled after running 40 yards down the field as you would be seeing a 240 pound Lacy taking it an extra 15 yards to the endzone.
