He's man enough to have his listed weight as 255 lbs., rather than fudging the numbers like some of these other big players do.

But, what if 255 is 'fudging it' a little?

That reminds me of a story
When I was in law school, a group of us went on a trip to New Orleans.
On the drive there from Houston, as we went through Beaumont, i started talking about what a pit Beaumont was. The girl I was riding with said, “Hey, I’m from Beaumont, you know.”
I said, “If i were from Beaumont, I’d lie about where I was from.”
She said, “Well, actually, I already do. I’m really from Vidor, but I just say I’m from Beaumont because it is better than Vidor.”
It tells you what a craphole Vidor is, when Beaumont represents an upgrade worth lying to claim.

We played whatever college is in Beaumont
and stopped in Vidor, none of the black dudes would get off the bus.
Didn’t they have some horrible hate crime there within the last 10 yrs?

I googled "Vidor, TX hate crime"
and first thing I saw was “Vidor, Klan capital of Texas”
Either way, sounds like that place sucks.

there used to be a clearly displayed sign in Vidor on the main hwy thru town
It said, “N-word, don’t let the sun go down on your ass here”

If you're the curious sort (like me)
You put Vidor in Google Earth, and you see what appears to be a gigantic craphole, just to the west of Vidor proper.
Vidor Street deadends somewhere within this gigantic craphole.

So you changed your name TO Latrine?
Yeah, it used to be Shithouse!
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

My guess is that he is fudging it a little
I weigh 255 and I’m 5 inches shorter than him and a lttle fatter but probly quite a bit less muscle too. Hes at least 270. So not only is he a liar, hes a fat liar.
Good luck tonight fatty. We really need this one.
I just checked the Rangers roster on LSB
Why is Chris Davis on there? Did I miss something?
Yea the short bus...
it left @ 7:00am.
Where is Benji Gil when you need him.

When do I get to see your Baywatch poster?
You know, the one with all the Baywatch babes naked, that they made only 12 of?

Hmmm, sounds like something that doesn't actually exist.
But that I will have fun trying to find on google.

Assuming this is the same "RangerKnight" that used to post on the ESPN boards
He spun many a tale of fancy that he swore up and down was true.
This was one of many.

I have a life-long friend who is in the restaurant business
he is always telling me of all these athletes who come to his restaurant (Cheesecake Factory…..) and how he is big friends with them.
I was talking to him a few years ago and he said, “Gotta go, Pudge is here”
He also says he goes golfing with John Kruk.
I feel to sorry for him to call him on it.
Anyways, maybe there one in the same.

Angels already won and the red sox are going to win. So tommy please pitch well.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'

What a ridiculous ballpark.

The last game he started nadel anounced him at 275
Either way he gets it close and his weight probably fluctuates a lot (coming from another taller big fella) sone guys still use there high school weights

I wonder if he is the most mentally-tough of our starters. We may find out tonight, given what the Sox and Angels have already done.
