The continuing dietary exploits of Philip Wheeler take us into the late hours

by Brad Wells on Aug 9, 2010 10:00 PM EDT in 2010 Colts Training Camp

First day of training camp: Three lobster tails.

First night off on Saturday: Fried lobster and a steak at Ruth's Chris.

Tonight, Colts linebacker Philip Wheeler Tweeted a pic of his desert with dinner at the Colts dorm in Anderson, IN: Cheesecake with fresh strawberries.

Yes, training camp is just so horrible for players, isn't it?

Site note: Mmmmmmm, that cheesecake looks damn good. Now I'm going to be thinking about cheesecake all night. Unless, of course, Philip Wheeler Tweets a pic of, say, a bunch of Hostress pastry treats that he has hidden in his closet.

Oh, damn you Wheeler! Damn you and your 6.3% body fat metabolism! While I'm here eating carrots, twigs, and humus, you and Robert Mathis are raiding the local 7-11 of all their Little Debbies. Such a cruel world.

Humus is tasty

And Little Debbies? More like Little Diabetes! Good thing the sugar only stays in Wheeler’s system for like 12 seconds before he burns it off. 6.3% body fat… ye gods…

metabolism helps...

But the 15K calories he burns as part of his job while you are typing for a living doesn’t hurt either.

I hate Phillip :-)

He’s able to eat all of those empty calories, work out and still have less than 7% body fat?! Ugh….

That cheesecake doesn't look all that good to me

Kinda cafeteria-like.

Nothing's complicated if you understand it.

ESPN reports that Revis might hold out the entire 2010 season if he doesn't get a new contract with the Jets.

This according to comments by the Jets front office, notably Mike Tannenbaum, and Revis’ representatives. So much for the Jets fans guaranteed Superbowl parade. W/o Revis being able to put the opponent’s best receiver on an island, than suddenly the Jets defense becomes a lot less formidable.

However

They did add this off season the best cover corner in the draft this year and cromartie. They def will not be the same team without him but I think the Jets D will still be pretty tough…of course the Colts with Dallas, wayne, Gonzo, Garcon, Collie, Addai, and Brown and now with lil Edge in situation offensive sets could prolly handle them with or without Revis…but then again im a homer

I don't get it

Are you saying the Jets should have offered Revis some cheesecake and Little Debbies?

No, I think he's just putting some g7on bait out there so folks have someone to bat around for another day.
