A few great Ken Stabler photos and stories
Ken Stabler died of colon cancer on Thursday at the age of 69. Since one media outlet already did its best to bungle the matter in reporting the death, we decided to give The Snake a proper goodbye.
Let’s start with this funny anecdote Stabler shared in his autobiography about some hazing he endured in his freshman year at Alabama. This one comes to us via our friend Michael David Smith:

Then there’s this legendary tale via our friend Timothy Burke:
Ken Stabler once came to my hometown, took everybody out to the bar, told us "drinks are on me," then skipped out on the check. RIP Snake
