Duffner, James H. Nobody's invincible, 2020: (Football legend Lyle Alzado was one of the most intimidating football players of all time ... he is the only player to have an NFL rule named after him ... he was also known for his compassionate work with mentally and physically challenged children ... From his early days as a street fighter just trying to survive the mean streets through his astounding football career, his days as a celebrity actor and restaurant owner, his shocking accusation of rampant steroid use in the NFL, and his tragic death from that abuse, this is the Lyle Alzado story told as only a best friend could share it.)
