When I was in college we played at Southeast Missouri and got there the night before the game for practice. They had a WWE show that night and to get to the auxiliary gym we had to walk through the hall with all the dressing rooms. I saw The Big Show standing outside his dressing room and he said "What's up Big Man" (Us big fellas stick together). I shook his hand and it was like shaking hands with a pot roast. I'm a legit 6'10" and had to look up at him. He was easily 7'1" and at least 350, probably closer to 400, just a monstrous human being.

The gym workers at our shootaround the next day said after the show he was shooting around in the auxiliary gym and about destroyed one of their goals with a dunk.

Bill Russell in terms of height. Gronkowski in terms of just size. His hands are the size of Christmas hams.

Big Z was huge. He's 7'3" and not wide, but it was still impressive to see him shoot and nail 3's being that tall. Watched an entire warmup court side and he made me forget lebron was out there lol

Players > Coaches. The GM might even be more important than the coach.

Whoops. :lol:


Though I will say Trendon and I broke even with the turnover margin talk. We were right on that one, but SF was still great anyway lol.

Currently at 308 pounds, Russell is down from the 320 pounds he weighed this past fall and has been focusing on cardio conditioning the past six weeks to lose the weight.
Grantland wrote:•Former Raider and first overall draft pick JaMarcus Russell is attempting an NFL comeback. Though no team has expressed formal interest, new Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians reportedly said, "After all the video I've gone through since taking over, I have to say that JaMarcus could probably start for us tomorrow," before he locked himself in his office and put Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" on repeat.
