The Football Fan’s Diet

By Matt DeReno

Hey, Steelers halfback Willie Park took a lot of heat this past week for his miserable 13-carry, 19-yard game against the Titans. Even I had to say, Fast Willie – what the fuh?

However, if the media is paying any attention to my dieting efforts over the course of the last offseason, I am sure they are saying “Matt, what the fuh?” I mean, I was worse than Willie’s ground game in Week 1 of the real NFL season.

Hey, The Steelers did win Week 1 and you know what: that was , perhaps, the best team they could possibly face all year. On that note, then perhaps, my obstacles from the past several months, which saw me gain back a good bit of weight (though not enough to make me lose hope), were put up by a foe who could be one of the best I will face ever. So, as Willie Parker will not be defined by one game, so I will not be defined by one poor offseason.

On that note: yesterday was a 10. It feels good to get the legs back. Now, here’s hopping Willie finds them this coming weekend against the Bears!
