RIP Art Donovan
Many remember him as Fatso, the Brooklyn-born old school NFL guy David Letterman would have on his show on occasion. Few remember he was a HOF DT for two Championship teams for the Colts back in 1958-59. However he's remembered, he was truly one of a kind, that left a number of great memories.
Hope they have some Schlitz on tap for you, Art. Safe travels! Posted via Mobile Device |

I finally found this article from PFF about his career. It's also a pretty good history of pro football. The only thing I remember about Donovan is that he was humongous for the time he played. Heck, he'd be huge now!

When I heard of his passing I recalled a story I remember him telling about his days at Boston College. Then I checked his WIKI page and didn't see any mention of BC, so I figured I was recalling the wrong guy. (My memory is getting worse as I grow older)... Anyway, it was a great story about guys on the football team weren't allowed to be paid, for football, but they were allowed to have jobs around campus to earn a little scratch. Anyway, Art's job at BC was to ensure that no one stole a granite bench that some alumni class had donated to the school. He got paid, so long as it was there. That it weighed about 3 tons and would need heavy equipment to move it from it's place was irrelevant. Art really could tell a story. RIP Art |
