Oops...
I'm in the Dolphins locker room on the campus of Nova Southeastern University in Davie, and I'm waiting to talk to one player. I walk up to Greg Bedard, the Dolphins beat writer for the Palm Beach Post, and I ask him if he's seen LB Zach Thomas.
Puzzled, Bedard looks at me and says, "He's right there," pointing to a guy standing two feet away from us.
Thomas was talking to a couple of other reporters, and he was holding a white mesh bag. I actually thought he was one of the locker room attendants, who were scurrying around, not a six-time Pro Bowl linebacker.
But it's an honest mistake.
The Dolphins list Thomas as 5 feet 11, 228 pounds. But he's definitely 15 pounds lighter and no taller than 5 feet 9 (Alex Marvez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel says he's 5 feet 7 after games).
But I played it cool; I walked up to Zach, introduced myself, and talked to him for a few minutes.
