Because I read it on the internet.

Strange but I'm just not feeling it. 
Could it be that perhaps all those drinks and other 'extra curricular' activities throughout my gigging years put a little damper on my health? 

Randy??

Not feeling it either Mike. I played for years with a drummer who was an out of shape slob of a man. Ate raw hamburger with his hands after dipping into a pile of salt. Couldn't out run an old lady. Always weezing and hacking from smoking. He would play with a lit smoke in his mouth 4 hours a night, 5 nights a week. He's my brother in-law now. He married my wifes sister. No way I would let him marry my sister, and I don't even like her. Randy

Football players? They probably mean US football, right?

No Rain, believe it or not they're referring to 'Proper' footies.
Hence the athletic part.
But I agree, in reality I'm more like the fat, wheezing, sweating US football players who sit on the bench for most of the game.

LOL Randy.
I eat raw chop meat with a dash of salt and pepper every time someone breaks it out.
If I'm making meat balls or burgers I eat the equivalent of one burger raw while making them.
Well that's only if I'm not smoking at the time. 

My girlfriend now refuses to break out the chop meat if I'm in the house.
She'll send me to the store or something and cooks the meat while I'm out.
She thinks it's gross but it really is delicious.

I know there are some risk's but my Grandfather was a butcher and always brought home really fresh ground sirloin. I've been eating it raw since I can remember.
Knock on wood but so far so good.
