On a serious note, that's a sad bit of news. Weight struggles are always mocked. Gambling, drugs, alcohol, all get sympathy.

Maybe it gets less sympathy because it’s seemingly such an easy problem to fix. Put down the donuts and chips, stop eating the crappy junk food. It seems so easily solvable, yet it’s a solution so many Americans can’t quite grasp.
You could say the same about gambling,alcohol and drugs.
That's true. But you've got to eat to live. You can't really "stop" eating like you can with the others. And it's also just as easy to say, stop gambling, buying alcohol, stop doing drugs. It's all easy to say.
One doesn’t need to eat Doritos, Big Macs and ice cream to live. Our problem is not that we eat, instead it’s that we choose to eat the wrong stuff.
And you also don't need to gamble, drink alcohol, and do drugs. You choose to do those things, too. Right? So one doesn't deserve sympathy over the others.
He majored in general education and educational studies. Generally speaking, a degree from Purdue should carry weight in some subjects, but that one sounds pretty worthless. His career earnings exceeded $5 million, so if he was smart about his finances, then he didn't really need the degree anyway. Other people aren't as lucky, and these colleges need to stop scamming their students who lack career direction.
Hell, he couldn't make 2nd team all SEC on his best day.
That reminds me, did you know that Wheeler was 2nd team all SEC last year? I just read that somewhere. Amazing.

Man, the internet is an awful, unforgiving place. Kid had a rough life and deserves a little compassion.

Roughly a freezer bag yeah. Depending on the type and how dense it was. Mexican press could fit in a lunch bag. Some good hydro would take a bit more space.
Can’t say drugs get much sympathy, I’ve had many people tell me over the past few years that I don’t deserve treatment on insurance and if I O/D I deserve it. People can be rough.
Back to Swanigan though I hope he gets back in shape, he’s still young and has enough game to play over seas for another 10 years and make good money.
