Other than that though, agreed, en toto.

“The Hamburglar� has struck again. Bengals OT Willie Anderson, who opened Georgia’s first “Fatburger� restaurant earlier this year, treated his teammates to a lunch of the big, tasty burgers on Friday. Lo and behold, DT Shaun “The Hamburglar� Smith was seen leaving the lunchroom with a takeout box of Fatburgers  and munching on one in his hand. Smith got his nickname last season. He was waived by New Orleans on Nov. 30, 2004, two days after he and fellow DT Johnathan Sullivan visited the Georgia Dome press box for a pregame snack. They were inactive for the game in Atlanta. Both were seen leaving the press box with a couple of hamburgers each. Saints head coach Jim Haslett said the incident played a factor in Smith’s release. HILARIOUS!!!!! |

So we get Bethel Johnson (another WR) which gives us more lattitude to trade Donte to SD for Donnie Edwards....
Maybe that is the new plan? |

The move was absolutely not about money...it was about Payton saying, "I dont care where you were drafted, or what the other regime promised you, you have to prove yourself to me and do things my way." Sullivan was an example. Getting Johnson will hopefully fuel Stallworth to do the right thing and shape up and get Henderson to try to be more consistent because the opportunity is there for them to thrive. Being honest, we dont have a receiver thats ready to step up and start for us. Henderson, Johnson, Lyman, Hass, C. Horn...all these guys are 3 or 4 receivers...not starters.

He can't waste time on a player that does not look like he wants to win. All the hate Sully got, he deserved. He made his bed, and now he is having to sleep in it.

Remember 2 seasons ago when Haslett was talikng to Tony Siragusa and asked him, "Why do you fat guys always need to be cut before you start playing?" Would be very ironic if Sullivan turns it on in NE and he and Wilfork dominate. Something tells me we will be bringing in a new DT from somewhere soon like we did with the LB's.
