Yesterday Corey Haim, today, Merlin Olsen .. Who is next? If you watched Little House on the Prairie you know that he played Jonathon Garvey, he was also a Hall Fame inducted football player. He played for the Los Angles Rams.

I met him once about 36 years ago. My first impression was that he was not all that big. He used be called "Merlin the Mountain" when he played defensive tackle for the Los Angles Rams, part of the famed Fearsome Foursome. They were considered one of the great defensive fronts of the 60's and early 70's.

Wow, he was named to the All-Pro team 14 of his 15 years playing NFL football.
