Riiiight.

[GreenFaith1819]

He has a lot to offer BOS....I hope he comes back stronger and better next year.

We're going to need him going forward.

[hpantazo]

Well, acceptance is the first step to recovery. It's about time.

Whoa big announcement.

[pearljammer10]

I'll believe it when me [poopies] turn purple and smell like rainbow sherbert.

Sullinger on the injury: "it was God's plan." Said he wants to change his physique. "I'm tired of the way I look."

haha what a way to look at it ......

I actually believe him, simply because it will cost him a lot of money if he isn't in shape the year he hits restricted free agency.

This however makes me mad
"Sullinger on not getting in shape until now: I'm the type of person a light switch has to happen."

So when you had to have back surgery the light switch didn't turn on. He must have had the worst doctors in the world if they didn't tell him that losing weight would help prevent future injury to his back and other areas. That or he just loves cheese burgers.

I would be a hypocrite to knock him for being overweight. I was really overweight right after college and didn't get in good shape until I was older then he is now.

He said the same thing last season. I will say this, it's time to get paid, maybe that's the extra motivation he'll need.


I think he did lose weight over the offseason but it just wasn't what he could have done if he put in serious effort.

Light switch=Contract year?

[BudweiserCeltic]

Meh.

[nickagneta]

The man may have no other option than to get in shape now. That type of weight he carries with that type of injury could be long term problematic. His only chance at getting a future "Get Paid" type contract may hinge upon him losing weight, getting in shape and staying healthy.
