As a Dolphins fan (I have no shame in admitting it), the perfect season was 1972. His brother, Rudy, played for the Bears, Browns, Falcons, and the Green Bay Fudge Packers.

I went back and fixed it!! Bob's son works out here as a outside contractor for the mills. IMHO, Bob is the greatest Offensive Lineman to play the game!! He's been blackballed from the Hall of Fame for his comments he made after retirement about the NFL and Notre Dame.
