    Default Olympic Weightlifting Champ Alekseyev Dies at 69

    If you are old enough to have been watching the Olympics back in the 1970s, you'd remember this guy - the "World's Strongest Man" and an absolute beast, known for setting and breaking all the world weightlifting records of his day.

    Too bad he wasn't converted into a 3-4 nose tackle. He could have been a monster at that position. Instead, he was simply another cog in the Soviet propaganda machine.

    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    I remember that guy. Can you imagine the steroids he must have gone through?
