MattFancy Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1011697 The Morgan Middle School football team in Ellensburg, Wash., doesn't need a sheet to know when to go for the two-point conversion. It may have a sure-fire play: Just throw it to Brendan Adams. Adams, you see, is 7-foot-4. That's right; the tallest teen-age boy in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records is playing football this year. In middle school. Holy crap!! You think Vinny is out scouting him already? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianforster Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Unfortunate that he can't run or jump very well, would have been fun to watch him progress if he was actually an athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickalino Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Why the hell would a 7'4" guy need to jump? To catch Jason Campbell's erratic balls that are usually overthrown by 10 yards. So, obviously, he was envisioning this guy as a Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I was thinking about this the other day....kinda like how the Bears had the Fridge, a team should hire a giant like that to come in for goalline situations, and just lob a pass to him....how many CB's can jump that high? Not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan999 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 That's a really sad story. He can't even run now because of his arthritis and enlarged joints. Hopefully they can stop it from progressing to the point that he can't survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can stop it from progressing to the point that he can't survive. Kids with health problems always make me feel like horse poop. I even work at a hospital and see some crazy stuff that makes me feel bad on a daily basis but when I see kids suffering I feel even worse.

TheGoodBits Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Jokes aside, I'm not sure how I feel about this. It's nice that his parents are letting him play sports, but what happens when he gets hit around the knees and goes down in severe pain? Poor kid... I feel really bad about his situation.

Hopefully they can stop it from progressing to the point that he can't survive. Doctor's in another story I read said he'll be dead in two years unless they can stop his growth. Good to see his out there with his peers having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickalino Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I've heard that George Allen wanted to sign Andre the Giant to the Redskins as a field goal blocking specialist. I heard that several times, but what was the reason that it fell through ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever did that would catch a lot of flack. They'd just be mad they hadn't thought of it first. If your team won the Stanley cup because you had a sumo wrestler block the entire goal (plus a couple extra feet in diameter), you'd still have the Stanley cup to your name.

daveakl Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 when the NBA was on strike Wilt practiced with the Vikes. Word was he could have been one of the best WR's in the game at the time. He wouldnt play fulltime unless they let him play QB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
