So get this:
I live in Atlanta and I joined a flag football recently. We had a game today, and when we were at the field warming up I saw a guy from the other team, a really big guy, and he looked so familiar. Then I realized it was former Dolphins defensive tackle Larry Chester:

Anyway, Chester played DT and OT in our game (obviously) and as an OLB that blitzed quite often, I went up against him one-on-one all day. Needless to say he pretty much just pushed me aside each time with ease. It was pretty funny, I join a random flag football league and end up getting blocked by a former NFL lineman. Ridiculous!
BUT! We were up 14-12 with 1:30 left, and unfortunately our QB threw an interception deep in our own territory and gave them the ball at the one-yard line.
They threw incomplete on first and second down, then on third down I was called on to blitz again. I decided to go on a delayed blitz by acting like I was going to drop into coverage, so that's what I did. I was able to get around Chester and get the quarterback's flag for a sack. It was so awesome!
Unfortunately, they threw a last-second touchdown on fourth down to win the game 18-14, but it was a great fun game. It was also cool to meet Chester and get to go up against him. Just had to share that!
