Hmm. The picture is outdated (it was taken back in '91 when I was 16),
but all the sitting in front of the computer and less-than-sufficient
workout did gain me a few pounds... I am perhaps only an inch taller
than you anyway.
Being as tall as we are is good for football as well as basketball. You
can see over everyone. Passing the ball from a tall QB to a tall receiver
is even better. :) Seeing those puny normal people jumping up and then
trying to tackle you around the waist... is very amusing. :)
The bottom line is: I've never played American football in my
entire
life! (Or baseball for that matter, to name another popular American
sport.) Now, if you offered basketball, something might yet be done.
:-)
(a friend of mine used to be in a rugby team. perhaps he can give me
lessons.)
For basketball? Now _THATS_ a game I want to play. :)
