CaptainHook Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Interesting article on how hard it is to pick a good DT. Check out this part of the story: Perhaps the most embarrassing story involves Saints defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan. The Saints were so high on him they traded two first-round picks to move to the sixth spot in the 2003 draft to get him. Three weeks ago, they thought he was so worthless that they deactivated him. Considered too lazy and too out of shape, Sullivan responded to the deactivation while eating nachos in front of the Saints locker room in his street clothes. Last week, Sullivan went up to the Georgia Dome press box, stood in the media food line and grabbed two massive hamburgers. If that wasn't bad enough, he had undrafted, inactive defensive tackle Shaun Smith in line with him. Sullivan received $11.4 million in guarantees so he was untouchable. Jim Haslett will probably deactivate him again this week. Smith, meanwhile, was released, partially because of the Georgia Dome incident. Not only has Sullivan been disappointing his teammates, but he cost one his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 What a moran. Way to spring for the extra burger. I have heard of bringing your lunch box to work, but this is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turf Boy Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Makes you wonder about these upfront signing bonuses & guaranteed contracts. What a total loser. Funny stuff though(kind of) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
