B.J. Raji tops the Fridge

NFC Championship Football

The Bears lost the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, and in the process a Bears icon of the 1980s lost his status as the biggest man ever to score a playoff touchdown.

William “The Refrigerator” Perry used to hold the record for the heaviest player to score a touchdown in the postseason, having been listed at 335 pounds when he ran for a touchdown in Super Bowl XX.

But according to the Wall Street Journal, now that record belongs to Packers defensive tackle B.J. Raji, whose listed weight is 337 pounds, after Raji returned an interception for a touchdown for Green Bay on Sunday.

Raji isn’t the biggest man ever to score a touchdown in any NFL game, however. Defensive linemen Shaun Rogers and Sam Adams have both scored regular-season touchdowns, and both are listed at 350.

    Good.

    So now there is even less reason for Walter Payton not to have gotten what he deserved.

    Raji “The Rage” is going to be a special player for years to come.

    GO PACK!

  3. alpod says: Jan 25, 2011 8:46 PM

    Over/under on Raji’s REAL weight: 360 lbs.
    (thumbs up if over, thumbs down if under)

    “Pulp Fiction”, Cheesehead style:

    BJ Raji: I was looking at myself in the mirror.
    Clay Matthews: Uh-huh?
    BJ Raji: I wish I had a pot.
    Clay Matthews: You were lookin’ in the mirror and you wish you had some pot?
    BJ Raji: A pot. A pot belly. Pot bellies are sexy.
    Clay Matthews: Well you should be happy, ’cause you do.
    BJ Raji: Shut up, Fatso! I don’t have a pot! I have a bit of a tummy, like Madonna when she did “Lucky Star,” it’s not the same thing.

    The Freezer looks like a young Barry Sanders in that picture

  9. bbrophy1 says: Jan 25, 2011 9:23 PM

    don’t forget big Jamal Williams who had a similar interception for a TD in his rookie year.

  10. dwhitehurst says: Jan 25, 2011 9:24 PM

    “The Freezer”, “Raji Island”, or my personal favorite, “The Garaji”.

  11. jc1958coo says: Jan 25, 2011 9:25 PM

    steelers have thier hands full!! big ben is going to be awfully cold when the freezer falls on him!!!

  12. pervyharvin says: Jan 25, 2011 9:28 PM

    Bloated Jerk Raji should be the poster child for the Pack and all of WI. After all, he comes in just 5 lbs. short of your average Packer fan…they can relate to him.

  13. pervyharvin says: Jan 25, 2011 9:39 PM

    dwhitehurst….That material wouldn’t make the Gong Show dude.

  14. nokoolaidcowboy says: Jan 25, 2011 9:51 PM

    Dude almost did a “Leon Lett” at the end of his run by sticking the ball out like that. Don’t these guys learn?

  15. pervyharvin says: Jan 25, 2011 9:54 PM

    There are three things you can see from outer space: The Great Barrier Reef, The Great Wall of China, and B.J. Raji.

  16. truushot says: Jan 25, 2011 9:56 PM

    Listed weight is the obvious word. The Fridge was easily 380 at the time, if not heavier.

  17. voiceofrealism says: Jan 25, 2011 10:18 PM

    @PervyHarvin,

    We get it. You love the Vikings and hate everyone from Wisconsin. Get some new material.
    Just sad.

  18. calloustongue says: Jan 25, 2011 10:25 PM

    You forgot the 4th thing you can see from space.

    The 10,000 lakes of Minnesota filled with the tears of Vikings fans.

  19. getsome636 says: Jan 25, 2011 10:30 PM

    Pervy—-There are four things you can see from outer space: The Great Barrier Reef, The Great Wall of China, B.J. Raji and the Lombardi Trophy section of the Vikings trophy room.

    El Pervo,

    Glad to see you decided not to follow through on your promise to pack up your toys and venture over to Steelers blogs for good.

    Oh, and, just a friendly reminder to take your meds son.

    What do you call a 400 lb Viking fan?????

    Anorexic!!!! (Sorry if I misspelled that).

  23. natelifer says: Jan 25, 2011 11:44 PM

    Pervyharvin……This coward is still around here? The big Army Ranger, Brock Lesnar fighting tough guy? You must kick a lot of a$$ talking sh1t on the internet. Internet bullies are pretty tough!

    “dwhitehurst….That material wouldn’t make the Gong Show dude.”
    —————————————–

    Hey Token,

    Your pathetic attempts at “sticking me good” are about as convincing as the whiffs by your Vikings secondary even on slow white receivers. Geez dude! You’re seriously slipping. Pick it up already! You and your posts on this blog have had about as much useful relevance as your state bird (the oh-so-noble Gnat).

    But hey Token, I realize you’re off your game, distracted by your present angst for not having laminated that makeshift Fathead you created from those pics you downloaded of your hero’s tater-tot…you know, laminating it before you climaxed from worshipfully gazing upon it as you did your daily ‘rub-n-polish’ of that wee little Bud Grant trophy between your pretzel legs..(the closest thing to a Lombardi Trophy you will ever know.)

  25. hrmlss says: Jan 26, 2011 1:41 AM

    Raji is the new sex symbol in Minnesota now. All the women there love him/ due to his skinny look versus Minny Fans. Wait i’ll wager all the Vikings SB trophies against that statement.

    …and despite your skewed perception, and when compared to the Vikings, how do you account for the fact that we enjoy a better team, better fans, better quarterback, better stadium, better record, better history, better tradition, better uniforms, better attitude, etc., etc., etc?

    You poor jealous bitter man. You always have “maybe next year” to fall back on. See you then….

  27. teal379 says: Jan 26, 2011 6:56 AM

    I always liked the name “Walk-in Cooler” instead of “The Freezer”.

  28. hnirobert3 says: Jan 26, 2011 7:36 AM

    This record will get smashed once JaMarcus Russell make his comeback and leads a team to the promiseland.

  29. themage78 says: Jan 26, 2011 8:36 AM

    337? was he standing on the scale with one foot? I mean we all remember that horrific image from the scouting combine when he had his shirt off. It’s etched into my memory.

    And he will most likely be in a purple and yellow uniform. We all know they cannot draft any talent up there, except for cant miss AP.

  31. ted1sheckler says: Jan 26, 2011 9:07 AM

    One of many things that are burned into my retina that I wish I had never seen. Raji’s man boobs flopping up and down on his runback

    Ona side note: Anyone else notice in the locker room after the game, that TT’S eyes never made it above waist level? He looked like he was taking mental pictures for his own private party later. His hands never left his pockets either.

    By the way, don’t worry about that hit on Rodgers, he is used to taking ” shots” on the chin.
    Not that there is anything wrong with that……

  32. gregjennings85 says: Jan 26, 2011 9:16 AM

    1.) Perry weighed a lot more than 335 lbs.

    2.) Raji weighs a lot more than 337 lbs.

  33. gregjennings85 says: Jan 26, 2011 9:20 AM

    Guys, Pervy is really Iron Man.

    Cat’s out of the bag.

  34. gregjennings85 says: Jan 26, 2011 9:20 AM

    3.) Michael Jordan wasn’t 6’6″.

  35. urworstnitemare58 says: Jan 26, 2011 9:34 AM

    Did you see the speed of this cat as he dashed into the end zone, just classic, also that dance. I laughed for 10 minutes and kept replaying it. You have to love it when the big men score.

  36. jc1958coo says: Jan 26, 2011 9:42 AM

    fat guy’s finish first, vikings finish last! trash talk a fat guy and your worse then the lions!! get a life dude

    Pouncey isn’t going to own anybody with a high ankle sprain.

    __________________________________

    Why is Raji a jerk?? Because he makes millions and you only pull in a whopping $411 a year on your paper route?? Don’t blame him.

    Two things quick:

    1) lardass Fat Pat Williams for your Twinkie team in dark pink is just as big as Raji, except way older and way overpaid.

    2) Most of us from WI have been to MN….some like myself, quite often…even have family living there. MN has NOTHING on WI other than an empty trophy case, a lousy stadium that is still a train wreck, a few more lakes, a few less QB’s, and a whole bunch of guys that sound like the hick dude from Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. In fact Perv, I can hear you right now: : “She’s short and skinny, but she’s strong. Her first baby come out sideways. She didn’t scream or nothin’”

    Go away…but before you do, predict the Super Bowl outcome….we know to go the other way then. You’re only 4-36 on the season when picking NFC teams. Douche, go check your tip-ups.

    Yeah, IF he even plays.

    Why are Steelers fans so insecure? They can’t even begin to accept that there are good players on other teams besides their own. “Oh yeah? Well, Limas Sweed…” Hilarious.

    Speaking of insecurity: Pervy, you have progressed from mildly entertaining to downright pathetic in less than two weeks.

    No one buys your internet tough guy routine anymore. No one believes you know the first thing about sports anymore either. You are the lone voice in the corner, sobbing, trying desperately to convince someone, anyone, that the Packers are not a good team.

    Give it a rest man. Take a break, go enjoy the lovely Minnesota winter, and then you’ll be emboldened and ready to claim your paper championship in April. Plus, by that point, you’ll have your fellow pitiful excuses for fans here to back you up.

    Beercheesedouche: I thought I told you to go WOK your dog. You have no horse in this race, so why are you even commenting? You gave up your fandom when you railed on TT. For the last 3 years. You said no team led by him would ever go to the bowl.Now they are there and you think you can cheer? If I were a Pack fan, id be pushing you off the bandwagon. I’m pretty sure everyone remembers all your bashing. You hate the Steelers and Ted Thompson, you can’t win. If the Steelers win, it sucks for you. If GB does, you have to admit you know nothing about football and that TT is right. Of course we’ve all known all along how ignorant, insecure and hate filled you are. Your best bet is to just ” cheer on the inside”. As I have said. You are the Randy Quaid character in Major league 2 . When they make it big, you want to pretend you were on board the whole time. This has to be so hollow for you. You won’t admit it. But it is. You are a know nothing. Tell mom not so much starch in the collar next time!

    purpleisreallypinkyouknow &Beer Cheese Soup….

    Mopping the floor with you guys on here is getting old. I understand your feelings of jealousy and hatred towards me. Maybe you losers should try a minor league blog before you step up here to the big show!

    You’re flattering yourself again Perv. Bat your lashes at the other members of your mutual admiration society, you’re not impressing anybody here. See you next year.

    Lovin me some Raji!! Just ordered sweet Raji T-shirt. check it out http://www.cafepress.com/rajitshirt very unique. guarantee i won’t see another one at my superbowl party! Go BJ! Go Pack!!

    @Latest Ragnar incarnation:

    I’m still not the kind of person you think I am. Keep trying though, you’ll get it right eventually.

    I already admitted I was wrong about Ted. Kinda hard not to at this point. If that makes you think I don’t know football, fine. I wasn’t the one picking the Vikings to win it all.

    The Packers were there before Ted, they will be there long after, and they’ve always been my team regardless. So… My team is in the Super Bowl. Think I’m gonna be upset about that??! Hilarious.

  47. footballrulz says: Jan 28, 2011 2:55 PM

    CHicken?! Hey dude. Super sure seems to be laying awfully low–Figured he’d be on here crowing about how right he’s been. Gotta give it to him.

    I was after TT & MM’s head pretty good myself last year and have been cautiously optimistic this year. I’ve had to eat crow before but I’ll take this gladly. Just gotta get thru 4 more quarters….
