Marshall Faulk debuts sugary cereal

PrintSt. Louis Rams fans and fans of food in flake form will be excited about a new product hitting grocery store shelves soon: Faulk Flakes.
These dried bits of heavily subsidized American corn and high fructose corn syrup can be found on shelves at St. Louis area Shop N' Save stores. Proceeds from the sale of Faulk Flakes go to the Marshall Faulk Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping the same urban youth Faulk's cereal is helping to fatten up.
Despite the wealth of sports data available on the internet, no list of player product tie-ins exists. (I sense an opportunity for an enterprising pop culture fan). I believe Kurt Warner was the last player from the St. Louis Rams to have his own cereal. Correct me if I'm wrong. Wheaties boxes seem to be reserved for niche marketing or championship teams nowadays. Quite frankly, the Rams haven't have many players worthy of their own dollar store knockoff snack cakes, much less a breakfast cereal. Expect that to change soon.

Fitzpatrick had a sponsorship thing with Fitz's Root beer.
Not a cereal but possibly the best backup QB promotion deal until Tebow.
He gets to be in his actual jersey
Warner’s cereal had a generic yellow jersey with blue numbers iirc
Steve young had a deal for cereal once -
But they found out that the San Fran area is already full of fruits and nuts and what’s left is just flakes .
In the cool still quiet hours of night, you can hear Eagles players softly uttering love words to themselves while kissing their hands and arms. "I am the Dream team-I am the Dream team"

It's gonna give Marshall's
cereal box a run for his money, that’s for sure.
"McCoy’s a lot like Faulk.
Maclin’s a lot like Bruce.
Desean’s a bit like Holt.
Warner and Vick aren’t similar.
"Vick’s 100x the player Warner was.
Desean’s not quite at Holts level.
McCoy’s giving Faulk a run for his money.
Maclin’s better than Bruce."
Signed, wild_eagle - the most delusional person in the entire universe.
Love that signature Dutchie.

Marshall Faulk Meats?
I remember he was supposed to have started a healthy meats store about the time he retired. I remember even visiting the store’s web site (it was a pretty sad web page actually, don’t tell Marshall :) ). But then it never got updated and I think Faulk got into TV work and must have dropped the project.
Anyone know the whole story?

The ad went "Nobody can beat our Meat"

For fuck sake! Faulk Flakes?
Faulk n cereal, a great combination. Something about that name just doesnt sound very appetizing I would feel like I’m eating little crunchy pieces of Faulk every morning.

I want a box of these
I literally activated my account 48 hours ago, so I don’t know if there is some kind of personal messaging system, but someone in St Louis get a hold of me so I can buy a box off you.
