I don't really blame the guy... they spend most of their adult lives with strict rules with regards to lifestyle/nutrition/habits dictated by their coaches and staff. Once that life is over, and they're free to enjoy life however they wish, I can totally understand letting themselves slide a bit (or a lot).

I think it's the opposite. You spend your whole life eating 5-8,000 calories a day because all you do is work out and now you do nothing so those calories add up.

Wow! I didn't think it would be that bad until I saw the video. No ones guessing he used to be a professional athlete. Unless you count food eating contests as a sport

Lots of money and lots of free time I guess. Better than turning into a cokehead or something.

Remember when they showed his hog on the pay per view? That was funny.

Not a rare thing for ex-athletes to get bloated right after retirement. They're used to having to worry more about getting in enough calories than too many, and I can imagine it's actually nice to not have to worry much about the shape you're in for a while.

Most of them seem to shed most of that extra later on.

There is a funny Aziz Ansari quote on the 'who ate....' jokes.

But I can't find it

Weight gain happens with lots of ex-athletes so probably not fair to pile on but he's put on a lot of weight all over from the head down.

On the flip side it's the first time I've heard him do TV and he comes across pretty good.

I'm willing to bet most CPers are at par with Amonte or worse

The punctuation is messed up, that's all. It should be:
