"huge"

I remember when I eleven years old and my mother told me to go over to a neighbor's house to get an autograph from a pro football player. The player, Jim Temp, was a retired ex-GB Packer, and the neighbor in question was his sister.

I remember waiting inside the living room when after a while the door opened. In walked the biggest human being I had ever seen in my life. Now this was the early sixties, and football players got a lot bigger in subsequent years. But the memory of Jim Temp walking through that door (and taking up most of the door space) still sticks in my memory after all these years.

one of my wife's girl friends married a member of the Houston Oilers....we attended the wedding and reception.....there were people there that had to duck a little to go through a nornal door, which they went through sideways....absolutely amazing!!!
