ART DONOVAN
From the L.A. Times:
Art Donovan played pro football for 12 years. He spent the rest of his life telling everyone about it.
Donovan, 89, who died Sunday of a respiratory ailment at a Baltimore hospice, played and talked a great game. He was aHall of Fame defensive tackle for the Baltimore Colts and an engaging raconteur. His cherubic face, adenoidal voice and side-splitting tales of yore captivated generations of viewers who never saw Donovan collar a quarterback or take down a runner.
Donovan appeared 10 times on "Late Night With David Letterman," where he spun yarns about his youth in the Bronx, his hitch in the Marines during World War II and his playing days in the NFL.
