BEIJING - Hundreds of years ago, the Emperor of China would sit on his throne in his office high atop all of his minions in the Imperial Palace in the heart of Beijing. His office would be the highest building in the city, and to this day, no building can be built higher than the Emperor s office. That s just one of the many historic tidbits that AFL China s representatives learned about at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City on Thursday afternoon in Beijing. I was lucky enough to have chance to experience all of these sights with the players on Thursday, and I caught up with the two members of the Tampa Bay Storm on the roster of East All-Stars, Randy Hippeard and Rodney Beamon.
