Sideline Chatter: Maybe they could just try serving some carrot cake

Flabby birthday, Ryan Fitzpatrick!

The Dolphins QB pinned his offseason weight gain on … nonstop birthday cake.

“The thing with me is I have seven kids,” he told Sports Illustrated. “In January we have three birthdays. So we’ve got the family birthday party which includes cake, we’ve got the friends birthday party which includes cake, so that’s six times in January.

“We’ve got three birthdays in March — March 1, March 6, March 11 — which again, that’s a tough stretch. So that’s six in 10 or 11 days.”
