TNFL Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Onterrio was on channel 9 last night. Man, did he look fat. He honestly reminded me of (god rest his soul) puckett at the end of his career. I think the Vikes saw what kind of shape he was in and it helped aide thier decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsy Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I missed that. I thought I heard he was possible going to the CFL. Anyone else heard this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A diet of Cheetohs, Dolly Madison Red Raspberry Zingers, and peanut butter straight from the jar (those were my personal favorites back in my youth when I was familiar with tha chronic ) will pack on those pounds in a big hurry, if there are no football practices to burn off calories.

TNFL Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yes, he was working out with a cfl team. Thats what looked so strange he had the jersey stretched pretty tight in the middle. He also said that he didn't really want to come back to MN, but maybe he'd give us a second chance if we came to his door. HA, enjoy your extremely smaller paycheck.

Sandbar Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Good thing the purple gave this moron his walking papers..Onterrio Smith made a slick, one-handed grab over the middle and then exploded up the gut with a blast of speed. On the next play, he made a couple cuts and turned on the jets again. Despite reporting for Winnipeg Blue Bombers training camp 20 pounds overweight, it was easy to see why the former Minnesota Vikings running back is an NFL-calibre talent. Unfortunately for Smith, his first practice on the first day of his first CFL training camp yesterday ended early with a foot injury. Smith watched the rest of the first session and the second practice from the bench. It's not known if he'll be on the field today when camp resumes at Canad Inns Stadium. DAY-TO-DAY Smith is officially listed as day-to-day with what's believed to be a muscular injury. "He's been told to stay off the foot, and rest is the key here," said head coach Doug Berry. Coincidentally, today is the day No. 1 tailback Charles Roberts is supposed to report for training camp. Roberts, who was upset Winnipeg even pursued Smith in the first place, got married on Saturday. The Bombers allowed him to miss Saturday's physicals and yesterday's first full day of practice. Bomber brass wants Smith on the field as much as possible to get him down to his playing weight of 220 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
