annissamazingI work with the third-largest football player in NFL history. When I met him he was sitting down. I shook his hand and was surprised when my hand wasn't large enough to wrap around his. It's impossible to give a proper handshake when your fingers are straight. I began to go through his paperwork and he said, "I hear them talking about me out there."
Not knowing what he was talking about I just said, "What are they saying?"
He says, "They're talking about how tall I am."
I looked up from his paperwork and said, "How tall are you?"
"6 foot 11 inches."
"You don't look that tall when you're sitting down."
And then we got back to work.
Since then I've had to find him size 17 workboots. No small feat (heh). Thing is, I know he's big, but he just didn't seem *that* big until Kevin walked up next to him. Kevin looked like a 5-year old child next to him and Kevin's not small.
