Hollis faces former team

Saturday, Hollis Thomas will return to the Saints line up against his former team. Thomas signed with Philly as a rookie free agent in 1996, and played there until signing with the Saints for the 2006 season. After 11 years in the NFL, Hollis was on track to break his season high tackling record of 44 unasist, but was suspended for the last 4 games due to breaking the NFL substance abuse policy for steroids.

There has been some concern about Hollis' condition coming back after 4 weeks off to play in a crucial NFC playoff game. Radio talk show host Kenny Wilkerson asked Joe Horn last Thursday what his thoughts were about Hollis' return, and Hollywood had this to say " I was in the pool this week when Hollis came through and I can tell you he has lost weight and looks more cut than I`ve ever seen him". "I can tell just by looking at him that he`s been doing some serious working out".

Also, in a brief radio interview Hollis was asked about who he thought the Saints would play in the playoffs and would he be ready, Hollis was very brief and replied "I really don`t care who we play, all I know is that whoever lines up in front of me is gonna get the chuckin' of their life".

I don`t know about you, but that makes me smile. Eat `em up Tank!
