Alex Hawkins the beloved Baltimore Colts Reserve running Back rogue and gadabout was such a was his idol Bobby Laynce one of the greatest quarterbacks Ever. Bobby played the game of football 20 hours a Day Hawkins writes. On the Field or in the bars it was All football to him. Bobby did t sleep More than three or four hours a night he claimed he just slept fast he believed there were Only two kinds of players stayers and leavers. Stayers were players who closed the bars. Bobby was a Slayer and he demanded that his team mates be stayers As Hawkins a charter member of the stayers Hall of Fame has recollected his 10-year nil career in a Book called. My Story and i m sticking to it that title was forged in the aftermath of a poker incident on that kept the Hawk away from Home and Hearth until 8 . When he Tippy toed in he found his wife Libby waiting up and not in an altogether pleasant mood. Where have you been All night she asked. Actually i got Home about 11 30 last night Haw Kins said.

The Hawk was t much of a player on Good team and even worse on a Lousy one. Soa tar suffering through a3-11 year and the Start of a 1-12-1. He started agitating to be repatriated to Baltimore. Dan Shula was the Colts coach and although he considered Hawkins a valuable Spe Cial earner role player and All around likable Guy he was leery of . Consequently negotiations with the fal cons took a few Days. Finally Shula telephoned Hawkins with Good news you can come Back. Hawk. We made what everybody considers a fair Deal for what did you have to give up for me Hawkins asked. later that season the Hawk was found As he often could be in the wee hours of the morning playing in a regular poker game in the Back room of a Baltim Rebarber shop. But this time it was the police who found him. The raid made front Page news.

He went directly to the broadcast Booth first with the Falcons later on lbs and Tbs. Laughing All the was broadcasting the pro bowl with Frank Gliber.

One Day when he was going Over the offensive guards assignments. Brown noticed Hawkins not making notes. Why Aren t you taking this Down Brown inquired. Because i Don t play offensive guard Hawkins said. If i have to play offensive guard we May As Well studied him then said softly. Hawkins you re a dog.
