I AM 65 YEARS NOW. I HAVE BEEN A RAIDER FAN FOR 55 YEARS. I LOVED HIS ENERGY.HE TOLD THE TRUTH 💯. FATHER FOR GIVE HIM. AMAN. LYLE I THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID. I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU DIDN'T DO... No law in the football league at that particular time for this particular issue !!!!
As a kid who grew up a fan of the Raiders, I only have positive memories of Lyle Alzado. Super Bowl XVIII was the greatest game I have watched. I am glad he won a title.
Most of the greatest artists in the world had painful personal lives that they harnessed and exploited for the benefit of their audiences. Lyle was a major part of the most entertaining period in NFL history as opposed to the banal sanitized dance that is called "football" today. RIP Lyle.
Lyle Alzado is one of the greats. On and off the field. The steroid use did not define his career, how many other players used and never had the courage to come clean.
I am from Ireland 🇮🇪 and I never heard of this man before.. He suffered a terrible childhood and yet inspite of this he still went on to be a very successful professional sports star.I admire him even more for being honest about his steroids use...let's be honest they were probably all on the juice, but at least this man had the courage to be honest about it.. May he rest in peace 🙏
my favorite episode of this whole series. always makes me emotional. the way Tom Jackson talks about his admiration for him at the end always makes me cry💔 42:14
Thumbs up partly, but I am disappointed that you left out what made me a Lyle Alzado fan overall. Which was the syndicated series "Learning The Ropes." It's what also made me a hardcore WCW fan.
Yup, and he didn't shit on anyone else while admitting it about himself. He didn't say anything like.....Yeah i did it but so did so and so. Nope! He didn't do or say anything like that. Like Jose Canseco did for example.
I wonder if he, well the steroids in him, made him think he was big enough and bad enough to get in a ring with Ali. Would he ever think that he was bad enough to take on Arnold Schwartznegger, in the ring?
He would have kicked Schwartznegger's ass. Arnold was big and strong, but he's not a fighter. Arnold was never exposed to the violence of boxing or pro football.
