If anyone deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, Ron does, as great and durable as he was. His name is the first name that comes to mind when I think about who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. -Mike Stratton, Buffalo Bills linebacker, six-time AFL All-Pro -- Mike Stratton I asked him once what his best move was. He said 'I suck in my stomach and make my opponents miss me.' -Kenny Houston, safety, Houston Oilers and Washington Redskins, and Pro Football Hall of Famer -- Kenny Houston Roland McDole, which is what I always called him when I wasn't calling him 'sir' out of respect, was a fine gentleman to me, except when he got ahold of me on the field. He weighed around three hundred pounds. You did not want to be under him when he fell on you. Roland was a gentle giant. -Joe Namath, New York Jets, quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer -- Joe Namath It is a captivating story that covers some of the most important points in the game's (and our nation's) history, including the Kennedy assassination, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the NFL-AFL merger, the explosion of the game's popularity, and much more. This book is a must-have not only for fans of the Bills and the Redskins but for football fans of every stripe. The Dancing Bear has scored a touchdown! -Jeffrey J. Miller, author of Rockin' the Rockpile: The Buffalo Bills of the American Football League -- Jeffrey J. Miller I asked him once what his best move was.
