Charmin rewards Saints LB Michael Mauti for toilet paper humor

METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints linebacker Michael Mauti showed some love to Charmin during a recent news conference -- and the toilet paper company rolled it back.

Mauti tweeted a picture Friday of the cases of toilet paper that were delivered to him.


Mauti used a Charmin joke to break the tension last month while he discussed publicly for the first time that he has been battling ulcerative colitis for the last four years -- an inflammatory bowel disease that required season-ending surgery.

"Well, look, I mean, this is really just all part of my big ploy to get like a big Charmin sponsorship," Mauti cracked. "A Big Pharma kind of thing, that's what this is all about. It's just part of my master plan."
