John Clayton Blog: Remember Toniu Fonoti?

[WoodysGirl]

Let's get physical: It's interesting to see how different teams treat physicals. The Raiders failed Toniu Fonoti after he agreed to a one-year, $1 million deal earlier this week. The physical problem was that he weighed close to 400 pounds. He flew to Tampa Bay and the Bucs didn't have as much of a problem. His one-year deal is less than what he would have received with the Raiders, but the Bucs didn't take long to pass him on the physical.

He should have stayed in college for another year maybe he would have learned the importance of staying at a playing weight.

That is NOT cheeseburger intake. That is "poi" intake if I ever saw it.

That stuff will block your arteries over night.

Wow. I hope that man can get hold of his weight. If now.....a few more years w/ that weight and he is a goner.

If you are sitting there typing that you dont get it and you are near 400 lbs.


You probably will never get it.

Sarcasm...

Just to play devil's advocate, let's say he weighs 400 lbs, but what if his cholesterol is 140, his blood pressure is 120/70, and all his other numbers are great like that. And yes, quite a few obese folks have awesome "blood" numbers like that. Just like there are plenty of 140 pounders out there with bps of 170/100 and cholesterol levels of 300. There's a lot more to a person's health than what meets the eyes.

Gruden will make him run extra sprints after practice....he will look slim in 3 or 4 days.

From 400 pounds? Not even on an Ex Lax and fiber diet.
