Back then the radio.....and TV guys got sloshed in the booth. I knew Mr. Hap who would tell us great stories about those old guys. He said Butkus was one of the nicest guys you would ever meet and uproariously funny.

Wayne Mack and him destroyed two cases of Budweiser during one game and had to be helped out of the booth....then they went to dinner at Ruth's Chris and consumed cocktails and steak.
