SULLIVAN SUCKS . . . WIND

A league source tells us that Pats defensive tackle Johnathan "Burger and Fries" Sullivan was on the ground and virtually in convulsions after completing only a handful of gassers as part of the annual conditioning test imposed by New England coach Bill Belichick.

As a result, Sullivan has landed on the physically unable to perform list, and likely will remain there until he shows that he's in adequate shape.

The sixth overall pick in the 2003 draft, Sullivan was acquired by the Pats in June, via trade from New Orleans. He was arrested in Georgia within a few weeks thereafter.

What a disgrace.

What does BB do to these guys?

Well, hopefully he will be alright and eventually gets his stuff together. He's got a long way to go. We are all going to have to be patient with Sullivan. He didn't come from a very good NFL program. I'm not making excuses, just stating facts. I doubt highly that Haslett had a conditioning run before training camp.

"He must unlearn what he has learned".

Am I the only one with visions of Private Pyle, pants down, donut in mouth, while the rest of the unit does push-ups?

Totally agree hope he's all right.
Would like to be patient but as BB has said in the past "The train is moving,Don't have time to wait".
It'll be interesting to see how much effort he'll be willing to give.
I wouldn't be totally shocked if he retires!

I wonder who this "league source" was that leaked this information to the media. BB is not going to be happy about this, IMO. He has never revealed the players who failed the conditioning test. I don't think that the media is allowed to watch the conditioning test.

My sources report the media followed a trail of cream cheese splatter on the field,to jonathon Sullivans locker and then onto the PUP

Sorry,cheap joke.
While BB would never leak this stuff,If it was as described It would have been an ugly scene,that few could overlook.

What is involved in a conditioning run?
