"Ken "The Snake" Stabler was a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the field. A 1974 NFL MVP, a four-time Pro-bowler, and a Super Bowl champion, he lived his life unapologetically, and in many ways, was the first NFL player who was unrepentant about having sex, drinking beer-a lot of beer-and living life as he wanted-not as the NFL wanted. But he was more than a partier; he was a marksman, the league's first cocky, swashbuckling pass thrower,...

Amazingly, when Sid became a star at Columbia and a Hall...

The Catch II--his last-second touchdown strike against Green Bay. Then there were his record-setting six touchdown passes in Super Bowl XXIX.

His career included 'The Drive' and 'The Fumble,' and, of course, 'The Helicopter,' a play so iconic in Super Bowl lore that it's played on highlight reels every January in the lead up to the...
