RIP. Surprised he lasted this long. Saw him up close at some function and he was the first person made me wonder how the heart could pump blood to all that. Fun player, classic Raider -

Never got to see Big Ben but I'm sure he was huge.

Closest I got to that, back in the late 80s dropped into an upscale bar one Fri afternoon w/my guitarist to grab a beer.  Place was mostly empty, buncha suits at a large table tucked in the corner.  We had the bar to ourselves.

Barmaid leaned over confidentially n' confides "Larry Csonka is supposed to be here over at that table, but I don't know which one he is."  He was an analyst back then n' likely in town to cover the Steeler game on Sunday.  We turned n' looked at a buncha middle-aged, balding guys n' one with his back to us that was at least a head taller n' twice as wide as anyone else sitting there.  I told her I couldn't say for sure but my guess was he was the big one…

On the other hand, met Mike Webster once n' he didn't seem to be much bigger than me…
