Ex-Eagle Antone Davis loses it on ‘Biggest Loser’

An an offensive lineman for the Eagles, Antone Davis wore a lot of padding - but nowhere near as much as he's displaying as a contestant this season on NBC's The Biggest Loser.

.

On the season premiere last week, he weighed in at 447 pounds - a couple of hundred more than a couple of the women - and that was down from the 476 he hit before deciding to go on the show, according to USA Today.

Last night, Davis really lost it, in more ways than one.

As his trainer screamed, "Not good enough!" and counted down the seconds, a groaning Davis tried to punch out his exercise bike and fell in a heap on the gym, bawling like a baby.

"That's right!" Bob Harper yelled at the married father of four. "You should be getting angry! You should be p..... off! . . . You don't want to be a statistic! People have died that you know! You don't want to be dead! That's why you're on my watch right now. Get your ass up and get over here!"

He's a bit harsher than new trainer, tennis' Anna Kournikova. But Eagles fans were just as nasty toward Davis, who was often been called a first-round draft bust, especially since coach Rich Kotite traded up to get him in 1991. Even if he was a starter here for years.

"Antone has a lot of demons in him. Anybody can see it. So I gotta push him," Harper explained in an edited-in camera shot.

Later, the pressure was on again, as the contestants were weighed to see which team would be saved from elimination in a "Battle of the Ages," divided into age groups.

Davis' loss of 10 pounds - a shedding of 32 in two weeks - was crucial for the Black Team, ages 30-49.

Johnny, who actually gained 2 pounds, got the heave-ho after letting down Kournikova's Blue Team, all of them 50 or over.

Finishing second was the 30-and-under Red Team.

Next Tuesday, on an "NFL Week" episode, guest stars include quarterbacks Drew Brees of the New Orelans Saints and Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos.
