Jim Taylor and now Dick Modzelewski...two NFL greats in a week. A little bit more of the original America gone.

Back when defensive linemen could slap the he** out of the offensive lineman on their way to the quarterback.

Dick (Little Mo) and his brother, Ed (Big Mo) started a chain of eleven stores called "Beef Corral" in northern Ohio. They were better than Arby's, which eventually killed them off by volume of stores.

And another piece of my youth is gone. RIP ...
Grew up in NYC area 50s and 60s. Haven't lived there in 50 years, but still root for Big Blue.

Never once could he have been accused of targeting even though it wasn't against the rules then. Sad how things have changed; now I don't watch the thugs (Is that racist?) at all. I attended the '56 Championship Game as a ten year-old which was Modzelewski's first season with the Giants.

The Giant line in that glory year of 1956 boasted of the “1000 pound line”, with each one averaging 250 lbs.

They wouldn’t even make the team now with the 350 lb freaks in their dreadlocks that we see today.

Mo was my neighbor when I lived in New Bern NC. We would fish together in the river behind the house with his four o’clock jack and coke. He was in constant pain. Hell of a nice guy. Told me all the stories about the old days. Great memories
