Art Donvavan was a man's man. They don't get any better than him. World War 2 veteran, NFL Hall of Famer, business man. And the best guy from the original NFL to interview, ever.
I wasn't born until 1965, so I never got to see him play. I did, however, watch many an interview with Art. I was blessed to have seen them. Art was the real deal. I will, hopefully, never forget him.
@@55intheValley It's not the same since it evolved into “Touchdown Baltimore” on MASN. Just Tom Davis, Bruce Laird and Mike Preston discussing X’s and O’s.
Tom Strauss , Brilliant Book, that not only discusses football, the war, does an accurate job of documenting life of second generation Bronx Irish American experience,

How can anyone not like this man. He is down to earth loves to tell stories and we love hearing them.
I know. My favorite was the story of David and Goliath. We all know how that one ended.
REAL....TOUGH....MAN. LAST MANS MAN. A True American Legend. A REAL Footbal Player. Go bless Mr. Donovan.
Art Donovan was a great story teller.
Art came to an Alumni Dinner of steak and Lobster. He said "Take that back and bring me a dozen hot dogs. He ate them all.
He didn't want to go overseas, but he went anyway. My my my, how times have changed!
I have looked at many of his appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman. He was a great story teller and a great man.
"When the Japanese heard I was coming they surrendered"
Lmao 😅
When he was on Barasse, Donovan and Fans, as usual, he stole the show.
That was the best show on TV!

They don't make 'em like that anymore.Truly one of a kind-really.
The first Baltimore Colts player elected to the HOF. Great DT and a funny guy 😂😂😂
Love Art, what a great guy. His appearances on Johnny Carson were hilarious.
The Marines Corps made football seem like recess I'm sure.
What a great ambassador for the game! And a captivating storyteller as well. Truly one of a kind old school football player.
Top notch guy. They dont make them like this man anymore.
GREAT player...1st Colt in the HOF...
Poor Art was starting to age here. RIP!
He started aging the day he was conceived, like everyone else

I have his book, "Fatso", published in 1987...he tells all of his stories...funny and poignant
Had a blast interviewing him - then he invited me and the crew to a party he was having that night- He was awesome!
@@onwardgulfstar football is so different these days compared to Art's days
Tom Strauss , Brilliant Book, that not only discusses football, the war, does an accurate job of documenting life of second generation Bronx Irish American experience,
Art and Alex Karras would have made quite a tandem
Quite a man...
Original run stopper
Super American.

Fatso is the best.

I bet he never met a hot dog he didn't like.
