Book excerpt: 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 tthe incredible impact he had on the people who loved him. You're going to get a glimpse of the Lyle Alzado very few people knew - the man, not the legend. I'm writing this book to continue what my friend Lyle started: the warning cry against self abuse, and as 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 pains and sorrows. Time is passed since his death stories that may have been embarrassing to him or others can now be told, no holds barred. So pad up and 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 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 who later wasted away to practically nothing. He was generous to a fault and full of life but had an empty hole inside him. He swore he never used drugs and then in 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.
