I heard this morning that he had 26 sacks one season and recorded 24 the next. However it was prior to being a "true" NFL stat. It was recorded by the teams, not the league. The guy was an incredibly talented football player....and left us with one of the all time great questions in life...Taste great or less filling?

He was even credited with coining the phrase "Sack the Quarterback".
