This just in! Patrick Kerney, defensive phenom for the Seattle Seahawks is “earthed”!

Posted Tuesday January 8, 2008 on www.si.com there is an article titled “Full Blast” that states:
“When Kerney goes home to his house in Bellevue, Wash., he climbs into a hyperbaric chamber to infuse his body with oxygen. Then he falls asleep under silver-threaded “earthing” sheets plugged into an electrical outlet, thus ostensibly neutralizing free radicals, those highly reactive particles that can damage cells. “I know this is going to make me sound ridiculous,” says Kerney.
That might be true if he were not making so many others look ridiculous on the field. In his ninth NFL season Kerney, 31, led the NFC with 14 1/2 sacks, and in the wild-card playoff game at Qwest Field last Saturday the visiting Washington Redskins assigned two and sometimes three men to keep him out of their quarterback’s face. It was no use. With his adrenal glands firing and no free radicals disrupting him, Kerney was a force, amassing seven tackles and four quarterback pressures in the Seahawks’ 35-14 victory.”
Elite athletes use anything that gives them an edge and, judging from the fact that he led the NFC in sacks, he’s got the edge!
