Forgive me for not seeing why everybody wants him to coach their team. He's nothing better than average in my opinion.























...and he's fat.

Weis can't bypass publicity

Malpractice lawsuit puts high-risk surgery in spotlight

By Bob Hohler, Globe Staff | January 24, 2007

Only those closest to Charlie Weis were supposed to know. The Notre Dame football coach, then offensive coordinator for the Patriots, checked into Massachusetts General Hospital in 2002 under an assumed name.

Embarrassed by his chronic obesity, Weis planned to undergo gastric bypass surgery and quietly return home the next day, avoiding public attention.

Instead, complications developed. Weis nearly died. And now, almost five years later, he faces the prospect of every detail of his long battle with obesity and his bypass ordeal becoming public record as he goes to trial next month in Suffolk Superior Court in his medical malpractice suit against two Mass. General physicians.

"Weis sought the procedure after watching a DVD of Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002, in which he helped guide the Patriots past the St. Louis Rams, 20-17, for their first championship. He weighed nearly 350 pounds."

Not to be a total jerk, here, but...

About a year ago, I weighed 380. Yep, 3-8-0. In the past year, I've dropped down to just over 300, and I'm still slimming. Granted, I may be taller than ol' chuck, but do ya wanna know the two things that have made the difference? No Junk Food, and a job that keeps me on my feet all day. Not even walking around all the time, but not sitting.


...Might wanna give that a try, Charlie.

Weis wrote, "One of the doctors told Maura that it didn't look like I was going to make it."

"He's a good man," Maura told the doctor.

"There's a saying that it usually happens to the good ones," Weis quoted the unidentified doctor as saying.

Just when I was starting to think that I have been too hard on this guy, he rescued me!
