Sad to hear. He was a pretty funny guy on the old NFL interviews. And he was a heck of a defensive player in his day. He was an old school football player.

It was a different game in his day.
In those days when a player said he played for the love of the game, he meant it.

He was a great player and a funny man. I used to love it when Letterman had him on, Dave could barely get a word in.

one of my fav art stories...he tackled a guy and the guy says, you must have had a rough night last night, your breath still smells like beer, and Artie says, nope, knocked back a six pack at half time! Used to love Brasse, Donovan and Fans, great local show!

Sad to hear about the death of a true original.
Loved his Letterman spots.
