A numbers game

Two men discuss the upcoming football season. It is early morning and I am in the weight room of the gym. They talk to each other in loud booming voices.

"I have a 330 pound 6'3" lineman who bench presses 300 pounds." says one guy. He looks like a former football player himself.

The thing that sticks with me are the numbers. Behind those numbers is perhaps a young boy with a name, but today his numbers are all that matter.
