In 1989, I was living in the dorms at SUNY Morrisville. My roommate told me that his uncle was coming to pick him up and take him home for the weekend. A knock on my door and standing there is the largest person I had ever seen, Howard Ballard. He was really cool and friendly. When he shook my (comparatively tiny) hand, we shared a moment where we both knew that the Bills were about to lose four consecutive super bowls.
