Ken admitted he was still drunk when they won the Super Bowl.
Lyle Alzado ripped off helmets off his opponets and beat them with it.
That was a bad ass team all the way around.

I thought "The Snake" was Don Prudhomme!
...and of course "The Mongoose" was Tom McEwen.
Which, btw is the animal in my picture. Wish I could focus like that little guy!

He was too hard to catch, even for the best hustlers.
Talk about "bad ass", they probably would have head butted Roger Goodell if he would have dared show his face on the field.
They called Jack Tatum, "The Assassin", and rightly so. Unfortunately Daryl Stingley was one of his victims. I remember talk about a point system that the players on that team used. Points were awarded on a basis of how hard you hit a player and how long he stayed down, carried off the field, or had to leave the game.
For us older generation sport fans, we can remember when football was football. Do you remember Dick Butkus? Deacon Jones once said, " every time he hit you, he tried to put you in the cemetery not the hospital".
Football has evolved into a sport that is a lot safer than years ago. Eventually they will remove tackling as being to dangerous and you'll just have to slap the guy with the ball and holler "I gotcha".
Oh, a bit of trivia, In 1905 there were 18 deaths from football. Teddy Roosevelt, supposedly was involved in changing or saving the game. Deaths were attributed to "unnecessary roughness".
Looks like he has a death grip on the butt of that cue.
Yes and the only reason they won the Super Bowl was the phantom ruffing the puss....oops, I mean roughing the passer call on Sugar Bear Hamilton at the end of the game. Oakland Raiders, the leading cheap shot artists of the NFL
Ah! Two more favorites of mine along with the all time king Big Daddy Don Garlits
Stabler and Alzado never played together.
Almost all the NFL teams back in those days showed up Sunday hungover or still drunk. I use to hang out at Jerry Philburn's club in Amityville, LI, NY. Broadway Joe and crew came there many Sat night. You should have seen the shape of them for a 1PM game Sunday...LOL.
Back in the 1950's and 60's when the NY Yankees were winning almost every year, most were half drunk for day games.
I know NY and FL jockey's that were so drunk they almost had to be tied to the horse, but still managed to win many races. I use to party with many of them.
Today most players don't smoke and keep themselves in great shape.
I always wonder how much better Ruth and Mantle and a few others would have been sober. Johnnyt

Max Magee should have been Super Bowl 1 MVP. He was not supposed to play, but when one of the starting wide receivers went down, Lombardi turned to him. When asked by a younger player how in the hell did he play so well with the hangover that he had, Max said, 'If I didn't, the Old Man (Lombardi) would have killed me.'.
Part of the Saint's troubles back in the old days was that rookie O lineman from Nebraska or somewhere like that had great trouble hanging with the old guard while partying in the Big Easy.
There's a story about Doug Atkins carrying two young lineman up 5 flights of stairs one under each arm after a Saturday night out before a Sunday game. Sounds far fetched I know, but some have sworn to it.

MY Father Called Games For The Oilers And He Said That He Will Never Forget Stabler Having To Use The Handrail To Walk Down The Tunnel At The Jets Stadium The Morning If The Game Because He Was Still Loaded. New YorkWas Just A Good Night Out For The Snake. Forget About The Game.
