My name is Jim Duffner. Lyle Azevedo and I were roommates. His life and mine intertwined, we shared much in common. This book isn't going to be the ultimate Alzado biography with 1000 little stats about his career and the impact he had on the sport of football - although his accomplishments will be covered and his influence was substantial, it's going to be a tale of two 'brothers from other mothers, And the incredible impact he had on the people who loved him. You're going to get a glimpse of the Lyle Alzado very few knew - the man, not the legend. I'm writing this book continue what my friend Lyle started; a warning cry against self abuse, the encouragement to those who struggle with the same deep, dark fears this seemingly invincible, unstoppable man did. No man is too big or powerful to have doubts, fears, pain, and sorrows. Time has passed since his death. Stories that may have been embarrassing to him or others can now be told, no holds barred. So pad up keep your helmet on - this is quite a story. His childhood was straight out of a script written for a horror movie. He dated so many beautiful women he could have given Wilt Chamberlain a run for his money, but when it came to love, he was plagued with bad decisions. He was an example of physical perfection whom later wasted away to practically nothing. He was generous to a fault and full of life buut had an empty hole inside him. He swore he never used drugs in man, typical spectacular headline - making style, admitted he'd lied. He was a player in every sense of the word - friends with the world's top athletes, Hollywood royalty, and underworld bad guys. He was the last of a breed - and I was proud to call him my best friend.
