Conrad's faulty memory

Football Digest, Jan, 2004 by Andy Crawford

So, in Conrad Dobler's "Game I'll Never Forget" [October 2003], he remembers dominating Merlin Olsen and "knocking him into the kitchen." I guess that explains the Cardinals' 95 rushing yards on 27 carries, a paltry 3.5 average. Meanwhile, the Rams tallied 237 yards rushing behind guys like Toro Mack, one of those offensive linemen who was good enough to get into the Hall of Fame without going to a lot of Super Bowls. I always had heard Dobler was one of the dirtiest offensive linemen ever to play the game. What I didn't know before your article was that he was also one of the most delusional.
