320 pound 'midget'

A football "midget" lineman who wants to travel the world even if it takes wearing diapers...
Sure, why not :-)

Story:
Jerry Sharp is a big guy in Arena football at 6 feet 3, 320 pounds. In sumo wrestling, he's a midget.

The Rattlers lineman took up the ancient Japanese martial art the past couple of off-seasons in his New Jersey home with encouragement from his friend, Emmanuel "Manny" Yarbrough, perhaps the most famous amateur sumo wrestler in the world who has appeared on Letterman and Jay Leno and in TV commercials.

Next to the 6-foot-8, 757-pound Yarbrough, Sharp looks tiny. Yarbrough was the 1995 world amateur champion.

"He's been traveling all over the world," Sharp said. "I said, 'Man, I want to see the world.' If I've got to wear a diaper to do it, I can make that happen."
