...the New Orleans Saints on Monday threw in the towel on defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan, trading the team's first-round choice from the 2003 draft to New England in exchange for wide receiver Bethel Johnson.
My dad's got high hopes for Sullivan (as he does with every Patriots player), despite some of Sullivan's issues:
Sullivan, 25, struggled with weight problems... Although he reportedly lost about 20 months in recent weeks, dropping his weight to 328 pounds, Sullivan's stamina was a problem at the Saints' three-day mini-camp that concluded Sunday.
Holy crap! How did he lose time like that? 20 months in several weeks?!? He'd better slow down before he's back in the womb.
Ignoring the obvious typo, I'm a little surprised that someone who used to weigh 348 pounds could only drop 20 pounds in that amount of time; it shouldn't take that long when you're huge. Yes, I know, big defensive boys want to keep their weight high. But 348 is ridiculous. Even Tank Johnson only weighs 300. (Then again, Ted Washington weighs 365. Daaaaamn.)
Congrats to Maggie the macaque, who beat the pundits again:
From her intermittent perch at The Sports Network, she was the only one of their pundits to correctly pick Edmonton to beat San Jose in the second playoff round. She was the only one to choose Edmonton and Carolina to meet in the final round...Maggie's picks are something less than scientific. She spins a roulette-type wheel, with the competing teams on it, to make her selections.
I love that some sort of monkey is more knowledgeable than the rest of us. Let that be a lesson: no matter how much you think you know about something, an animal that spins a wheel to make picks is smarter than you.

Yes Maggie picked Edmonton, but even she cannot predict injuries. News from the press conference after the game is that Roloson is out for the series. Now I got to pray for a miracle.
Go Bears!
You need to look up Aaron Gibson...Tackle for the cowboys..He hit 400 lbs...and some change...
