We've all known for a while that longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers fullback Mike Alstott was calling it a career, even if he waited until today to make the announcement. Nevertheless, he was one of the most popular players in Buc history, in so small part because he could get into a collision with a charging moose without falling down.
So in honor of Alstott's career, here's a highlight reel demonstrating how difficult it was to tackle him. (Hat tip to our old pal MJD for finding it.) We'll miss ya, Mike. Try not to end up like Earl Campbell after all that punishment, okay?

I will miss THE Original A-Train Mike was an awsome back,that if you were a true fan that has watched every time he touched the ball you would see how many times he just battered 5 or six guys,some times several of them hanging on for dear life.and then other plays he looked like a slasher.He has amazed me
over the years and Tampa does not have anyone on there roster that will come close or ever fill those shoes.
