nobody, i mean, nobody could sniff out a screen like hollis thomas. and wasnt his nickname like cheeseburger or something?

You are right on there! The man was a genius when it came to disrupting the screen. But if I remember correctly, his nickname was “The Thing”

Hollis Thomas was hilarious – in a good way. His laugh, his attitude, his pranking and clowning were a breathe of fresh air.
Interesting how tough the internet crowd always is.
Brock Lesnar? Alistair Overeem? The Last Emperor? Shane Carwin? They’re all pussies compared to the unfailingly “hard ass” internet rabble.

The tools who consistently engage in ridicule of professional athletes were typically ‘watchers’ rather than ‘players’ through out their lives.

He was a pretty funny guy, and whom ever said he could sniff out screens was 100% correct. The guy wasn’t all-pro, but he played ok.
BTW- he’s not the only player to ever get caught taking performance enhancers. After the Williams wall suspensions, you never know how harmless some of these “performance enhancers” are.

He was able to do so at 36 and overweight probably due to the use of steroids.
Bad decision Thomas, but we still love you.
Be good- Spongebob T

I remember his last suspension and he claimed that it was from a steroid he had been prescribed for his asthma. I gave him the benefit of the doubt then…not so sure now.

After struggling in the first four games, he helped the Panthers win 8 of their next 12. He was a funny guy who was great with one liners and showed a quick wit in interviews. I’m sorry his career is over….hope the guys the Panthers have this year play as well.

I wish Hollis the best — really enjoyed that cat. His personality had some real pizzazz.

Remember the time when Hollis Thomas showed up at halftime and led the Mud Dogs to win at the Bourbon Bowl?

It is also my only one aside from kinda recognizing the name.

Injuries happen every year.. if he stayed in shape, he could latch on somewhere.
