Fat Casey Fails Run Test

 

As you may have already read, Fat Casey Hampton failed the run test on Day 1 of camp.I applaud Mike Tomlin�s firm stance on this, although, truth be told, the time to monitor a fatass�s weight is in April & May, not the last week of July.

 

It�s bad enough The FatAss failed the run test.But then he made it worse, trying to rationalize his way out of it with a host of bullshit rationale �

 

- "Some things going on at home," is the way Hampton put it.��

 

- �Hey, last season I made the Pro Bowl.����

 

Hampton is paid rather handsomely � at over $4M per year � to be in solid shape.�� Keeping in shape doesn�t require 6-hour per day workouts.Had The FatAss run for just 45 minutes per day, 4 times per week, he�d have been in more than adequate shape for camp.Blaming his fatassism on �issues in the crib� is a weak, gutless excuse.

 

As for The Blo Bowl, that�s a total farce.Hampton made it as a RESERVE, and he made it on reputation alone.�� Fact is, he clearly had a poor 2007 season, a season in which, by season�s end, teams rarely ever double-teamed him because there simply was no need to do so.

 

In fact, last season, I personally exposed the fable of �Hampton is constantly double-teamed on each and every play�.�� The days of opposing teams using 2 blockers to block Mister FatAss on the majority of ground plays are long over. If there is any good to come of this run test failure, it is that some fans will start spending time actually WATCHING FatBoy Hampton during games, rather than blindly spouting media-fed bullshit about how �Hampton occupies 2 blockers every play and clogs the middle.�Then only thing he�s been clogging lately, are the drive-thru lines at Taco Bell and Burger King.
