Larry Csonka. Has a name done a better job describing a football player? The Ohio-born Miami Dolphins fullback, aka “Zonk,” smashed and strong-armed his way through a Hall of Fame career which included the magical undefeated 1972 season—still the only Super Bowl champion to go unbeaten. Now 76, Csonka is splitting time between Florida, North Carolina, and his beloved Alaska, an author of a recently-published autobiography (“Head On”) keeping fit and staying connected to the hard-nosed game he helped define. Here we are, a half-century later, and the ’72 Dolphins remain the only undefeated season Super Bowl winner.
