He was so much fun to watch.

Sports Illustrated once called him "The Meanest Man in Football" and did an article on him. Also liked the story about the time he pranked Dan Dierdorf by cutting off one of the pant legs on the pants that were hanging in his locker. When Dierdorf went to change he only had one pant leg.

He's number 66 in my avatar picture.

"Pro Football's Dirtiest Player" I believe.

A truly great Cardinal who excelled on some of the all-time best Cards teams. Damn, I’m getting old—everyone’s dying now.

RIP, Conrad.
That was a great offensive line we had in the mid 70's.

 

[Snakester]

My favorite player on that great line.

 

[OKCardFan]

Sad. One of my all-time favorite player and one of the reason I became a Cardinal fan. Growing up in "Cowboy country", I still remember beating Dallas on Monday Night Football 38-0, with Dandy Don singing "turn out the light". I have his autographed book "Pride and Perseverance" (The NFL's Dirtiest Player Comes Clean) on my computer desk. Loved that team!

The 75 Cardinals OL gave up 8 sacks ALL season. And Jim Hart had horrible foot work. Just an amazing statistic. That’s what MO needs to build around K1.

Don't know if it is a true story, but I read a number of years ago the Conrad was having a difficult time financially because his football injuries were inhibiting his ability to oversee his business operation. Phil Mickelson found out about the problem helped put his daughter through college. Both of those men led by example, not just talk.

Thank you for mentioning this. I found this article from 2007. I read it and now someone's cutting onions in my house. Amazing act of kindness!

Verdi: Mickelson gives to Dobler family

How did the former "dirtiest player in the NFL" become Phil Mickelson's biggest fan? Just call it an act of charity.
