IMO, Eddie Lacy embarrassed himself and the Packers with his lack of self discipline. He is still a relatively young man, but needs to realize his responsibilities. He could regain his form again and be a premier RB once again. If his habits do not change by the 2016 NFL Draft, his physical condition may play a role in the Packers thinking .

not a good reflection on our training staff.

If I'm an organization, I'd want my players on my routine - not off eating Gilbert Burgers or "Sweating to the Oldies" for 6 months.

I think it was triple stacked with extra bacon and cheese.

Brown, 25, feeds on hamburgers for energy the way Popeye eats spinach. Brown apparently would go into a local Burger King every night after practice and get a double Whopper with cheese. Eventually, the restaurant chain named a hamburger after him: the Gilbert Burger.

The hamburger is a double Whopper with double cheese, double lettuce, double tomato, double mayo, double onion, double ketchup and, as the manager of a Green Bay Burger King said in a telephone interview, ''no pickle, because Gilbert doesn't like pickles.''

What I don't get is, why didn't they FORCE Lacy during the season to get in shape?
I'm glad if he gets serious and spends the off season getting his weight under control.
Think of all the past players that got super fat after they retired.
Lacey's health after football might depend on his actions now.
The guy has such a dynamic personality, I hope he gets his health together.

If Lacy has an eating problem I hope he get help for his own well being, for health and wealth. The benefit to the Packers will be a better player.

This Thread Has A Great Deal Of Empathy (Not Sympathy) for Fatty Eddie. That empathy is surprising coming from great Packer Fans. I expected most would jump on his fat ass, in the same way many Packer Fans jump on M.M. T.T. The O.C. and D.C.

I Feel. EDDIE SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE.

Fact is, in the history of the world.... No one has ever eaten anything by accident.

Eddie should be accountable and no doubt has read all the social media negative comments, however don't you think he is being accountable asking these P90X people for help taking the weight off?
