I figured, but didn't see anything on the front few pages, I can't wait to see who takes this monster...Bloom dropped the bomb on this freak.
A lot of Jet fans I've spoken with hope they can get him in the 6th round or so....There's not a lot of options out there for a 3-4 NT Beast.I figured, but didn't see anything on the front few pages, I can't wait to see who takes this monster...

This guy didn't have to do classwork while he attended school, the assignments would assemble themselves out of fear. I hope the Bears get him! What a physical freak!Can't wait to see who takes a shot at this kid and what round....
we'll know in the first few weeks of minicamp whether his heart is truly in it or not.
that Im one the broke it, but obviously, its fun to be the first.
I'm rooting for him too, but only because of Martha.
Im rooting for the big guy, obviously Im tied to his story now, but the odds are against him.
There's a short interview i did with him here
It is amazing how big this story has gotten. Im a little

The Walter Thomas project is already over with the Saints. He lasted roughly 9 minutes at practice this morning, spent the remainder of the time in the training room and now his locker has been cleaned out. So lets move on from this discussion and just realize that some people have no problem wasting tons of talent.

some guy received an e-mail from him, said he would be around in june and things went well today.
from others reported by Scott Cody of WWL TV just confirmed that Walter Thomas is no longer a Saint. He lasted about 15 minutes of practice, but he was so out of shape he could not finish individual drills and had to be helped off of the field. He was then told to get his stuff and leave camp.
guess fans will have to wait until june to see if he'll be back, so much for the amazing dancing bear
Walter Thomas was Cut LINK
There is something else to this. Something he either said or smoked, but something else.
...and the NFL's only 'official' 400 pounder, OT Aaron Gibson could do the splits. The only question is, can they throw a pass through the uprights while kneeling at the 50 yard line?
Fixed.
Apparently he was so out of shape that he was a danger to himself when confronted with the rigors of an NFL training camp.
How can you coach a guy if he can't run from here to there without passing out? He had to leave the field after 13 minutes? 'Project' is one thing, but they can't even work on this project for more than 10 minutes at a time.

The guy was already on thin ice due to his past indiscretions. If he doesn't have the common sense to at least be physically ready to exercise for more than a few minutes when he shows up to a football camp, he's gone. The guy obviously doesn't get it.
There is a long list of players who were/are physically gifted but don't have the heart, desire and focus to be a professional athlete. If I knew my "big break" was coming, you'd better believe that i'd be ready for it. 15 mins into a practice and he's out of it? Please. Maybe he'll get another shot and be ready for it.Grigs Allmoon said:
Exactly. They also don't want a guy who is so green that he doesn't have enough situational awareness to avoid other serious injuries. If a guy gets injured in their camp, the team has to pay for his medical expenses. This was obviously going nowhere. He wasn't in shape enough even to get through the first 15 minutes of a rookie mini camp, in which I would remind you they were not wearing pads. That's pathetic. He wasn't serious about this.
I suppose that could be true. Is that what it was?I just assumed anyone that could do cartwheels, hand stands, and jump tall buildings would have some semblance of cardio.
After the stuff that came out with his Myspace page, they were just looking for a reason to send him home. Fortunately, he provided one on day 1.http://www.saintsrevolution.com/forum/inde...11971&st=30
this was an interview with walt, mr reeves was supposedly his friend and said "He has been training like crazy so don't worry. I'm talking running on the beach (sand is hard to run in for a 370 pounder) hours on the eliptical machine, jumping rope, and even hitting the bag. He is pulling out all the stops. I guarantee conditioning will not be an issue. He knows what kind of opportunity this is for him."
sean payton is supposedly pretty brutal, but 15 minutes?
perhaps not so bad, just dehydrated

According to Thomas' agent, Martin Magid, Thomas said his head hurt during the drills, but he still was able to compete. When trainers told him he appeared dehydrated and gave him intravenous fluids, Thomas still felt confident he could return to the field.
I never did hear what that was about as it was taken down by the time I checked. What was there?
Some pics of his boys smoking weed, and his comments, something along the lines of "back in the day, weed was my sheet" or something like that.
Good point. Payton has made a point of bringing in guys who are "high character" and will have a positive influence on the team. Thomas is a work in progress, apparently...
Pretty sure I saw him cooking my Country Slam at Denny's the other night.
Bloom dropped the bomb on this freak.
