Dick Lobo turned 88 today.

0:01.6

One of the favorite, one of my favorite guys in the NFL, and certainly Bill Cowher, I think, would also echo that sentiment because he coached under Bill Cowher.

0:10.5

And he coached with us at the Sinai Bengals, was briefly head coach at the Bengals, too, there for a while.

0:15.7

And I can guarantee you today, at 88, he could probably break 80 on the golf course.

0:22.1

Oh, the guy's in tremendous shape. I mean, he was there as a defensive coordinator

0:27.0

for the five years that I was in Pittsburgh and I'd see him at some of the practices and could

1:47.4

Now, would you count like broadcasting and that, like John Madden coaching, broadcasts?

1:53.2
