Yeah, wonder how well they'd move laterally. Then again, at 6'6" & 450lbs, they wouldn't have to move to far.

Recruitment gimmick. NFL scouts going to Japan & Korea (Republic of not DPRK) seeing if Sumo wrestlers can play O line tackles.
Westerners tend to think of Sumo wrestlers as just obese guys trying push eachother around by leaning into eachother. The truth is they really are skilled athletes. Successful ones are able to focus and maintain there center of gravity on par with ballerinas. For such big guys they have incredible athleticism, tremendous balance and their reflexes are as impressive as any athlete in any sport.
I'm not even sure if this was supposed to take seriously, but I just heard on the radio yesterday/last night, Josh McD went to a Halloween party dressed as Mark Davis. This contributed to him getting fired.
If anyone knows, is it complete malarkey or is there any chance it's true?
Nope. BB retires, Mayo takes over as HC with SB as D coordinator. BOB deflects any offers of HC by pointing out the most content & successful coach he's ever known was Dante Scar. He discloses that he's taking a page out of Dante's book and not interested in moving up the coaching ranks.
Sadly, it's not intentional. They really are that bad.
