"I want two dozen eggs scrambled. I want a loaf of bread toast. And I want a pound of bacon. Stan looked at him and said "Are you sure?" He said "Yeah."...

Hawk talking about former teammate Frank Howard's eating extravaganza one night. If you do the math, Hawk claims this guy gained 22 pounds overnight.
