HE fought no fires, he defended no innocents, he performed no surgery, but he has been called by some a hero. His job was to jump on people and knock them down. And he did it better than anyone in recent memory.

His purest joy, he once said, was to hit someone so hard he could see the "snot bubble out of his nose." His was a brutal business, and he loved it. And many loved him for it. "I'm a wild man in a wild game," he once said with satisfaction. And the cheers in the stadium echoed and echoed in his ears.

did you ever catch LT's "Tough-Man" ring appearance? classic LT!


the drama: it's like a four act play, with each act taking on it's own unique flavor, with the conclusion (07 Patriots excepted) generally in suspense until the fourth act. plot twists, marquee & supporting actors, unexpected performances, last hurrahs, and heroes in the making...the gamut of human emotions & performance.
