TIDBITS® PAYS TRIBUTE TO FOOTBALL GREATS

by Kathy Wolfe With Super Bowl 50 just around the corner, Tidbits takes the opportunity to look at several former NFL stars and their post-football life.

• After graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy, where he won the Heisman Trophy, Roger Staubach served a tour of duty in Vietnam with the U.S. Navy. He didn’t play pro football until age 27, when he joined the Dallas Cowboys as a rookie quarterback, the only team he would ever play for. Staubach was a six-time Pro Bowl selection, and made five trips to the Super Bowl, (two times as Super Bowl Champs, and the MVP of Super Bowl VI.) • Toward the end of his NFL career, Staubach started a commercial real estate business, The Staubach Company, specializing in commercial property. In 2008, he sold the company to an investment management company for $613 million. Staubach serves as the executive chairman of the company. This 73-year-old has been married for 50 years to his grade school sweetheart, with whom he enjoys his 15 grandchildren and one-great-grandchild.

• Can you identify the first player ever to pass for 5,000 yards in a single season? It was Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, who spent all of his 17 seasons with that team.

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Can Heart Surgery Cause Hot Flashes?

--DEAR DR. ROACH: I have had hot flashes, similar to those experienced by post-menopausal women, ever since my coronary bypass in 1990. I can be sitting quietly in a chair reading or at my computer, and suddenly I find myself dripping with perspiration. I also have had panic attacks, with increased heart rate and other physical symptoms. A few years ago, a 24-hour EKG showed heart-rhythm irregularities and that my heart stopped briefly while asleep.

If these idiosyncrasies of my autonomic nervous system are a consequence of my time on the heart-lung machine for the bypass, I’m not complaining -- just curious. You said that studies have been done on almost everything. Is this one? -- W.S.B. ANSWER: I found that a lot of people complain of similar symptoms. I also found that indeed, the autonomic nervous system (the part of the nervous system that regulates temperature, sweat, blood pressure and many other critical aspects of body function without our being consciously aware of it) can be adversely affected by cardiac surgery. Some authors have suggested that the autonomic nervous system changes are one mechanism by which people are more likely to have depression after cardiac surgery. I found several possible explanations why the ANS changes with bypass surgery, but no clear consensus.

I would want to be sure that there are no other causes of these symptoms. It sounds like you have had an extensive evaluation, but I certainly would be concerned about a sudden fast heart rhythm, such as atrial fibrillation.

The booklet on abnormal heart rhythms explains atrial fibrillation and the more common heart rhythm disturbances in greater detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 107W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I suffered a long time with GERD. I was diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus, a precancerous disease. My doctor recommended a procedure called a Nissen fundoplication. Since the procedure, I have not had heartburn again. I would do it again, after what I went through. I get an endoscopy every two years to keep an eye on my disease. -- G.D.B. ANSWER: Barrett’s esophagus is a complication of longstanding reflux. It is diagnosed when the lining of the esophagus starts to look like the lining of the stomach. Barrett’s esophagus can progress to cancer of the esophagus. About 0.2 percent of those with Barrett’s per year will develop cancer, which sounds low, but if you live with the condition for 25 years, that’s about a 5 percent risk.

Surgery for reflux disease is done only rarely. However, it is very effective (85 percent to 90 percent). The most common reason to consider surgery is inadequate relief from medications and lifestyle changes. However, severe erosions from acid in the esophagus, inability to take medications, a stricture (partial closure) of the esophagus and Barrett’s esophagus are all reasons to consider surgery. Surgery appears to reduce the risk of cancer more than other treatments. ***Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

FOOTBALL GREATS (continued): • In the sixth week of his rookie season, Marino became a starter, and went on to play in nine ProBowls. Out of his 242 games, he started in 240 of them. The NFL’s list of the Top 100 Greatest Players has Marino in the #10 spot. For many years after his retirement in 2000, he served as an analyst on CBS’s NFL Today. He left the show in 2014 to return to the Dolphins as a special advisor. Over the years, Marino dabbled in the entertainment field, appearing as himself in television and movies, including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. After his son was diagnosed with autism, Marino and his wife established a charitable foundation that has distributed more than $22 million toward research and treatment for children with developmental disabilities.

• Norwegian-born Jan Stenerud came to America as a college student on a ski-jumping scholarship. In 1964, while training for ski season at Montana State University, he was spotted by one of the school’s coaches who was walking past the football field where Stenerud was cooling down from his practice. The football coach offered Stenerud a tryout, and he was given a position on the team as kicker. The Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in 1966, where he played until 1979, one of the first pro football players to be used as a dedicated kicker. After 19 seasons (including a stint with the Packers and the Vikings), and four Pro Bowl ap14 pearances, Stenerud retired with 373 career field goals, Sheridan Good Health Emporium Leather and never having missed a Outfitters • game because of injury or illness.

FOOTBALL GREATS (continued): • The MVP of the first two Super Bowls was Green Bay Packer Bart Starr. He began his career with the Packers in 1956 and remained a player until 1971. After his retirement, he was immediately hired by the team as their quarterback coach, and became their head coach in 1974, a position he held for nine years. His charitable organization is the Rawhide Boys Ranch in New London, Wisconsin, a facility he co-founded in 1965, that helps delinquent and emotionally-disturbed adolescent boys. At the initial fund-raising, Starr donated a Corvette he had won for his Super Bowl performance to be raffled. The 82-old-year-old Starr has recently suffered two strokes and a heart attack, but after intensive physical therapy, his condition has dramatically improved.

• Fran Tarkenton played his first NFL game in 1961 at age 21 as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, and went on to nine Pro Bowl selections. In 1977, Tarkenton became the first professional athlete to guest-host “Saturday Night Live.” When this Georgia native retired in 1978, he owned every major quarterback record.

Tarkenton has had numerous post-football success stories, starting with founding Tarkenton Software, a computer program generator company. He served as a Monday Night Football commentator for four years and a co-host of ABC’s “That’s Incredible!” during the early 1980s. He has written several self-help motivational books as well as a novel entitled Murder at the Super Bowl, a mystery about a football coach who is killed just before his team is scheduled to play in the big game. . • Baltimore Colt legend Johnny Unitas spent 16 years with that team, going to the Pro Bowl 10 times, with three of those as MVP. He was the NFL MVP four times, as well as being voted the league’s best player at the NFL’s 50-year celebration. Unitas set the record for the most consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass, 47 games, a record that stayed in place for 52 years. During his career, Unitas sustained many injuries, including an elbow injury that prevented him from using his right hand. After doing commentary for NFL games during the 1970s, this football hero purchased bowling alleys and a restaurant, as well as investing in an air-freight company and several real estate ventures. Unfortunately, most were fairly unsuccessful. It was his final business decision that put Unitas under, a circuit board manufacturer which failed, forcing Unitas into bankruptcy. A sudden heart attack took his life in 2002 when he was 69.

• There have been no financial difficulties for former Denver Bronco John Elway. In addition to his job as the general manager and executive vice-president of football operations for the Broncos, he has owned two restaurants and nine car dealerships (five of which he sold for $82 million). His net worth is estimated in the $150 million range. Elway almost didn’t have a football career. He was selected by the New York Yankees in the 1981 MLB draft and played 42 games on their Class A team, achieving a .318 batting average. Owner George Steinbrenner’s plan was to make Elway his starting right fielder. Elway was picked up in the 1983 NFL draft and played 16 seasons for Denver.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta Toy Poodle Barks Almost Nonstop --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 6-month-old toy poodle, “Jenks,” is incredibly cute, but he has a sharp, loud bark for such a little guy -- and he barks almost nonstop when we’re home. I know anxiety is an issue with many small breeds, and I’m wondering how I can best address this? -- John, via email

MORE GRIDIRON GREATS • Merlin Olsen was picked up by the L.A. Rams in 1962 and spent the next 15 years as a defensive tackle. His first contract was about $50,000 for two years, along with a signing bonus. In those years, the average football player’s annual salary was around $12,000. Olsen and three of his teammates on the defensive line, Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier, and Lamar Lundy, became known as “The Fearsome Foursome.” Olsen was selected for the Pro Bowl a record 14 straight years, including his rookie year. During the off-season, Olsen spent his time earning a Master’s Degree in Economics. Post-football, he enjoyed a successful acting career, first on “Little House on the Prairie,” then in his own series, “Father Murphy.” In 2009, Olsen was diagnosed with mesothelioma, possibly due to exposure to asbestos. He passed away the following year.

• Olsen’s teammate Rosey Grier made post-career notoriety as a bodyguard for Senator Robert Kennedy during his 1968 presidential campaign.

In fact, after assassin Sirhan Sirhan shot Kennedy, it was Grier who took control of the gun and overpowered the killer. Grier had played from 1955 to 1962 for the New York Giants, then for the L.A. Rams through 1966. In 1967, his career came to an end due to a torn Achilles tendon. He went on to host a weekly TV talk show, and made 70 guest appearances on other series during the 1960s and 1970s. Grier had a recording “People Make the World” on the music charts in 1968. This “Gentle Giant” became well known for his hobbies of macramé and needlepoint, authoring the book Needlepoint for Men in 1973. He became an ordained Christian minister in 1983, traveling as an inspirational speaker, and also founded a nonprofit organization that serves inner city youth. (continued on last page)

DEAR JOHN: It’s worth looking into. Contact Jenks’ veterinarian to discuss the issue, as I’m sure you’ll get a number of different suggestions ranging from behavior training to anti-anxiety medication.

Jenks is still pretty young. How much time does he spend alone at home? If you have to be out for eight hours or more, you may want to have someone -- a friend or a pet sitter -- come in to check on him, take him out to pee and play a little bit.

You also should establish a routine that he can count on, one that includes plenty of time spent with him either playing or training. Both of these are times when he’s getting your full attention and positive reinforcement, as well as a way to work off some of that puppy energy that’s also behind the barking.

As your puppy matures into an adult, he may mellow out somewhat. But in the meantime, it’s up to you to provide structure and training to reinforce the behavior you want in Jenks. If these efforts don’t seem to improve the constant barking, talk with your vet about addressing his anxiety with medication.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS: WATER BUFFALO It’s time to increase your knowledge on the water buffalo, a cloven-hoofed mammal native to Asia.

• What exactly does cloven-hoofed mean? These animals have a hoof that is split into two toes.

Many such animals are also ruminants, meaning they “chew their cud” in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, regurgitating their food and chewing it again. In the Jewish religion, an animal that is both a ruminant and clove-hoofed is considered kosher and may be eaten. However, if an animal has only one of these characteristics, Jews are forbidden to eat it, as it is considered unclean.

• The water buffalo is a member of the Bovidae biological family, which includes bison, antelope, gazelles, sheep, goats, oxen, and domestic cattle. Members of this family are referred to as bovids.

• There are two types of water buffalo – river buffalo who prefer deep water, and swamp buffalo who like to wallow in mudholes. Although similar in appearance, their genetic makeup is different, with the swamp buffalo having 48 chromosomes, and the river buffalo, 50.

• These bovids stand about 5 to 6.2 feet tall (1.5 to 1.9 m) at the shoulder and have huge backward spiral-curving, crescent-shaped horns with a span of nearly 5 feet (1.5 m). They live to about age 25 in captivity.

• The horns of the buffalo are often made into jewelry and musical instruments. The ney and kaval are hollow flutes made from these horns with up to seven finger holes, used in Middle Eastern music.

• These herbivorous buffalo have been domesticated for close to 3,000 years and are the main dairy animal in many countries, with milk that is richer in fat and protein than that of dairy cattle.

They’re also valued for their meat and leather. With about 150 million domestic water buffalo in the world, more human beings depend on them than on any other domestic animal. They are relied upon for plowing and for transportation and are known as the “living tractor of the East.” About 96% of the world’s population of water buffalo can be found in Asia.

• There are a very small amount of wild water buffalo, an endangered species that lives in protected areas and wildlife reserves across Asia.

• Some countries hold annual water buffalo racing festivals, running the animals in long slushy ditches while pulling drivers on wooden planks.

• Fans of the 1960s cartoon “The Flintstones” may remember that Fred Flintstone and his pal Barney Rubble were dedicated members of the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo Lodge No. 26, a secret society intended to be a spoof of the Freemasons, Elks Club, and Moose Lodge. Fred and Barney regularly assembled at the lodge hall to listen to their “Mystic Imperial Poobah,” or “Grand Poobah,” as he was sometimes called.

The Poobah’s mission was to “draw back the veil to reveal the ancient mysteries of Water Buffalo-ary.”

• “The Water Buffalo Song” is sung by Larry the Cucumber in Veggie Tales’ “Silly Songs,” who croons “Everybody’s got a water buffalo. Yours is fast, but mine is slow. Oh, where’d we get them? I don’t know, but everybody’s got a water buffalo.”

GRIDIRON GREATS (continued): • Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka personally hand-picked 6’2”, 335 lbs.

(1.88 m, 152 kg) William Perry in the first round of the 1985 NFL Draft. Perry was fresh out of South Carolina’s Clemson University, where he had earned the nickname The Refrigerator. The name came about when he and a fellow player tried to fit in the same elevator heading to the college laundry facilities.

His teammate said, “Man, you’re about as big as a refrigerator,” and the name stuck. (Perry already weighed 200 lbs. [90.7 kg] at age 11!). In addition to his NFL career (1985-1994), this defensive tackle and member of “The Monsters of the Midway” defense recorded two rap records, appeared on the 1980s series “The A-Team”), and had his own G.I. Joe action figure called “The Fridge.” In 2008, Perry was diagnosed with a serious nerve disorder that sent his life into a tailspin, both physically and financially. In 2011, a 10-year-old boy discovered Perry’s Super Bowl ring for sale in a sports memorabilia shop in a Mickey Mantle’s restaurant. Using $8,500 of his college fund, the boy and his mother purchased the ring and returned it to Perry. Yet in 2015, the ring was on the auction block again. When Perry didn’t pay the taxes on his home, it was seized by the county. At 53, this football great is barely able to walk and lives in an assisted living community.
