Re: Kalsu honored
Just an update.
Bob Kalsu's video and audio is still available on NFL.com
Just click "more free videos" and click "Bills' Lt. Bob Kalsu"
It's simply an 5 minute amazing story. I didn't know that he is the only reported NFL player that death on Vietnam war.

Re: Kalsu honored
That's a great and well deserved honor.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
