Have dealt with gout for the last 20 years and a flare can keep you off your feet for weeks. Controlled with medication and diet. I just wonder whether gout medication might be on the prohibited list as it may be used as a masking agent? Hope he gets better and stays away from too many outings at Jack Ruby’s.
Rough, happy I have never had gout. One of my older buddies I drink with gets it sometimes, he loves the red wine same as me, but
dude can hardly walk when he drinks it. Heard tart cherry juice helps. Nettle tea also is good for it.

If the Gravedigger can play for us, he is worth it. No player on this team can replace him, love BJ Hill but he is more of a hybrid in
between a NT and 3-tech. We don't make it to the SB or AFCC 2 years in a row without DJ Reader. He should be more affordable
because he doesn't play all the time and has his bouts with injuries and now this IMO. Plus his age and the fact he isn't a pass
rushing 3-tech who are way spendy should keep his contract affordable.
