Look, I can’t really pinpoint why this caught my attention, but here we are talking about CeeDee Lamb and his health regime that costs more than a cool million a year. Yes, you read that right — ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS. I mean, seriously? That’s like, wild! But hey, the guy made over $39 million last season, so maybe it’s just pocket change for him. Kind of freaks you out, doesn’t it? Anyway, let’s think about this for a sec. To be a top dog in sports you’ve gotta be über dedicated, right? Not just with flexing those muscles and running routes or whatever.
These days it seems like athletes have dived, headfirst, into this whole-body wellness thing. They’re chugging kale smoothies, meditating under a full moon, and getting their chakras crystal-clear. Or something like that. Not to mention, they’re sleeping more than a cat on a sunny day. Anyway, that aside — I got sidetracked there — Lamb’s dropping cash on stuff like ice baths and hyperbaric chambers. Must feel like bathing in a very expensive freezer, or something like that.
Oh, and then there’s this mind-boggling quote from Lamb where he says he spends $50,000 every two weeks. My brain won’t math at that speed right now but trust him and his calculator. It sounds extreme but, let’s face it, the man is legit. Like, totally legit. Considered one of the top five in his position for crying out loud! Dude caught over a hundred passes for more than a thousand yards last year. That’s like almost as far as a morning commute for some folks.
Now, let’s not forget his team, the Dallas Cowboys. They, uh, let’s just say they need all the health potions Lamb’s money can buy. Seven wins to ten losses last season, yikes. Playoffs? Yeah, those seem to be just a flicker in the rearview mirror. New season, same hope, or so it goes. You never know though, strange things happen.
Right, I think I’m rambling now. Just another day in the life of a pro athlete with a sprinkled million-dollar wellness routine — that’s your headline. Go figure.
