If you look at pictures of scumbag Jack Abramoff leaving federal court yesterday, you see a guy who looks like he’s gone to seed. But according to this L.A. Times story, he was once a specimen:
At Beverly Hills High School, Jack Abramoff’s weightlifting prowess was the stuff of legend.
As a senior, he became the first member of the school’s 2700 Club, lifting a combined total of 2,700 pounds in the power squat, dead lift, bench press, and clean and jerk.
His former football coach, Bill Stansbury, recalled a game against Inglewood when Abramoff legally blocked an opposing player and knocked him out cold. …
At Beverly Hills High, he earned a reputation for ambition, hard work and commitment. He held the school record for the power squat, which he completed while holding 510 pounds on his back.
“Jack showed good leadership and was very dedicated, probably the strongest kid on the team,” recalled Stansbury, who was the football team’s offensive line coach when Abramoff played as the starting center. “For his size, he was extremely strong and very aggressive.”
So what went wrong? Well, it turns out he had the morals of a tsetse fly. Too bad. The guy might’ve made a decent strength coach.
