[edit] Cut?

From how I understand his 12 minute career as a Saint he wasn't cut, he was so out of shape that he walked off the field after just 12 minutes.

[edit] Wow!

He can do a full forward front flip at 370 pounds. Man, I would pay to see that.

[edit] Delete this?

I think this article should probably deleted. While its a funny anecdote that he was released in 12 minutes I don't really think it is notable. Perhaps we should merge it into an article on the Saints 2007 season?--Thomas.macmillan 16:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking about it, but I think its too early. His career isn't quite over: he might end up training with another NFL team, or find his way into the CFL or even Arena. We just don't know yet (it would be too early for anything like that to have occurred), so I would wait a few months to see if there are any more developments. --Bobak 17:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

He was also featured in the New York Times, which is grounds for notability.--Diogenes00 (talk) 06:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
