  1. After piling on the pounds? He came back one and a half kilos heavier. Hardly piling on the pounds.

    Never let accuracy get in the way of sensationalism

  2. In all fairness he was 1.5 kilos overweight which is a shade over 3 lbs. Not exactly piling on the pounds is it….I suspect its the other things he has and hasn;t done that has made him out of favor, the weight thing is just an excuse.
