When did Tommie transition into from QB to looking like a retired D lineman ? He hasn't missed a meal for years.

You get to that age in life where you can look 15 years younger or 15 years older.
It is crazy how that works. Then I think one day you look in the mirror and you sort of just don't recognize the person looking back at you.
I have a retired teaching friend, well into his 70's and he says that he doesn't feel like he is in his 70's but he also said he is shocked when he looks at himself in the mirror and that the time just flew...
I felt like I was in my 30's forever, it was awesome and one day I was closer to 50 than I was 30...I swear it happend in an instant.

He was also on meds for Crohn's disease that cause weight gain, you know.
Unless you have health problems, awareness of getting older does not arrive by how you feel. If you like looking in the mirror, you will first notice it there. In not, you will first notice when people start talking/treating you like an older person.
Not carded anymore
People calling you sir
Left off social invites for the younger crowd
Assuming you don’t know something hip
Assuming your knowledge is dated
Comments about past and you being there
Comments about gray hairs
Young people are such punks.
Ahhh, really good point!
I don't know about you but when I meet another adult, I almost always feel like I am younger. Even if I know I am not younger, I still feel like I am the younger one.

Please post your high school pic and your current pic so we can see what immaculate shape you are in … I’m sure they look similar - good job keeping it together.
You don’t need to crap on the best quarterback to ever come through Nebraska. He can do whatever he wants, it’s his life and I’m pretty sure he’s not trying to impress random message board users. I bet he’s still getting plenty of meals and drinks picked up by fans.
I know, right? I keep telling my wife to let me know if there’s a hair or two growing out of my ear. WTF? Why?
Same for me. That’s why I don’t look in the mirror that much. I want to keep the fantasy going.
Agreed. And they are constantly on my lawn. I yell at them from the comfort of my porch rocking chair.
Crap on ? Just made a observation . I haven't seen the guy in years obviously.
I'm glad I don't look like that guy in high school. I come from a family of fat people so all the defense about weight is old hat.
I do too but I usually am. Lets face it , the majority of people are overweight and if I go to the store and look around I feel better about how I look .
I'm almost 70 with a really nice, full head of hair, which I attribute to one thing, and that is only washing it about once a week. Even when I was really active and sweating, I'd only wash it with water. I do have more than a full complement of ear hair though. Stuff grows like I fertilizer it.
Funniest things I've seen, or heard a really old guy say? When my grandpa was about 97-98 years old, he use to say things that we could hear, even though he must have thought he was just thinking it to himself.
My sister in law is what you call well endowed. Every once in a while he'd look at her and say, "Man, does she have big tits." We'd all laugh and my sister in law would walk over, give him a peck on the forehead and then brush her tits up against him as she turned around.
He's also say, "mmm."
And they say it's hell to get old.
I know, sometimes I will think why is this old bitch talking to me, then it dawns on me that if I look in to a mirror I will see my salt n pepper hair and beard.
P.S. - Don’t tell my wife I referred to her as “old” or a “bitch”.
P.P.S. - Also I’m 5 years older than my wife.
You sure seem to be looking Touchdown Tommie up and down pretty good - but enjoy the closet.
Again - someone has already mentioned it but there is 0 to be gained by dogging one of the greatest players to ever put on a collegiate jersey and one that gave us fans so much to be proud of. Dude gained weight since his elite D1 days - big whoop. Why don’t you comment on the run and the beast he was instead of making Busch League fat jokes?
Nothing wrong with guys who lose most or all their hair at early ages.
Has more to do with all the chemicals in the shampoos and conditioners clogging up the pores.
But, as you say, its impossible to fight genetics.
It is well known Tommie has medical issues that have contributed to his physical appearance. You must not pay attention. Now you know.
I had my hair grown just a tad longer than normal and when I get to get a haircut (high and tight) I noticed all the hair on my ears.
Thinking it was from my haircut, after I showered there was still hair on my ears. A total "wtf, when did this start happening?" moment.
Now I'm constantly plucking those little bastards.
Warning: Dont turn 50. As Ray Romano said in his standup routine, describing turning 50: You wake up in the morning and somehow have a sprained ankle you didn't have the day before. ( all over 50 people shake their heads knowingly).
OK, go-ahead and turn 50, see how you like it.
You can maintain your badassery for a while but don't expect it to just stick around. I worked out intensely and was doing well. At 56 or so my workout performance begins to wane. I figure its just the hazards of aging. At 58, odd episodes start occurring. My cognitive functions are suspect. I am diagnosed with a terminal illness and now it all makes sense.
So enjoy and coddle your health.
