I have been assured this story from Thursday is legit:
Jim and Bill Germanakos, the Long Island natives who won on NBC's "The Biggest Loser,'' participated in the weigh-in for Friday night's IFL event at the Izod Center.
When IFL featherweight champ Waggney Fabiano weighed in a half-pound over the 145 limit to defend his title against Shad Lierly, Bill Germanakos offered a suggestion:
Spit. A lot.
Fabiano promptly went for a run around East Rutherford . . . spitting all the while. He returned an hour later, having dropped nine ounces.
High school wrestlers trying to make weight are advised not to try this at home.
