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.

Many years back on Christmas Day, for some strange reason the local sports radio show interviewed the steelers nutritionalist, believe she was from Louisville and home for holiday. It was a very lengthy interview, in fact the entire show she was focused on her. She says all these great tips that I've forgotten now but at the end the interviewer stated that all these things she said were wonderful tips. Yet what one thing would she suggest for the average person that was not going to do all the things pro athletes do to help them ?

Her answer was that if she could recommend any one thing for people to do it would be daily consumption of tart cherry juice.  Claimed it was like drinking medicine and it immediately lubricates your joints amongst its benefits.. Tried it when young and still in good shape. Really disliked the taste so I did not drink long enough to tell you if I felt any better from it though. Think I may retry now that I'm old and you've jogged my memory on this forgotten tidbit.
