DeMarcus Ware Interview: Cowboys Star Speaks on Super Bowl Chances and More

Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware is one of the most imposing defensive players in the NFL today, but he believes in more than just sacking quarterbacks.

While driving the likes of Eli Manning, Donovan McNabb and others into the turf made Ware famous, he also wants to bring awareness to the fact that lactose-intolerant people like himself can still have dairy products if they choose wisely.

Ware and the National Dairy Council's Dr. Frantzen were kind enough to talk with Bleacher Report about all things Cowboys football and their involvement with the "Get Down With Dairy" campaign.

No. 94 seemed especially excited about the new additions Dallas has made on defense. It's obvious the six-time Pro Bowler is looking forward to the new NFL season, which makes sense considering his recent comments on ESPN's SportsCenter.

Ware realizes what the rest of the Cowboys organization does, that their stars are getting older by the year and it's time to finally live up to all the hype America's Team has had surrounding it in recent years.

While it's obvious that the Troy product would love to have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy by this time next year, Ware is also passionate about telling fellow lactose-intolerant Americans that it's OK to have dairy.

Dr. Frantzen and the four-time All-Pro selection explained that options like Lactaid milk, yogurt and certain cheeses are all great sources of essential nutrients that lactose-intolerant people can enjoy without worry.

As the Council's website points out, "different people can handle different amounts of lactose."

Ware even said himself during the interview that since switching to Lactaid milk, he's been able to continue to get protein and keep building muscle without the side effects that come from lactose-filled milk.

Making sure dairy is a part of one's diet is an essential way to stay healthy and continue to obtain the necessary proteins everyone needs.

With the help of NFL players like Ware and New England Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch, the National Dairy Council hopes to continue to inform America's lactose-intolerant population that dairy can and should still be a part of their lifestyle.

Based on my talk with Ware, it seems he's determined to deliver Dallas' first Super Bowl championship since 1995 while continuing to raise awareness to a cause that can help so many people have a healthier diet.
