Interesting Gordie Howe fact: he was built like a brick shithouse.

'Mr. Hockey' Gordie Howe—NHL Hall of Famer, Red Wings legend—dead at 88

Howe has eternity to fix somebody’s wagon, not just the mere decade he needed to settle an old score with Bobby Baun. In the 1957–58 season, Baun, a rugged Maple Leafs defenseman, nailed Howe, who had been cutting into the middle to take a shot, with a seismic check. Ten seasons later, Baun was earning a living with the expansion Oakland Seals when Howe again cut to the middle. Fool Gordie once, shame on you. Fool Gordie twice, a Zamboni might be scraping up your teeth. This time Howe released his shot and held his follow-through long enough for his stick blade to carve g.h. in Baun’s throat. As a supine Baun gasped for breath, the Red Wings’ star straddled him and growled, “Now we’re even, you s.o.b.”

Is is just me, or is the public visitation at JLA on Tuesday a bit over the top?

Nah. He's the face the last of the 4 major sports to pass.

He's pretty much the Babe Ruth of Hockey.

Fair enough, I can respect that.

NFL: Nagurski, Halas?
NBA: Mikan, Robertson?

Maybe I'm drawing a blank on who in the NFL and NBA would fit that bill.

Any of them except West, because he's still alive. I saw him giving quotes to the press just last week.

I threw him in there only because he is the NBA logo.
