Lyle Martin Alzado was an American professional All Pro football defensive end of the National Football League, famous for his intense and intimidating style of play. Alzado played 15 seasons, splitting his time among the Denver Broncos, the Cleveland Browns, the Los Angeles Raiders with whom he won a championship in Super Bowl XVIII, he was born in Brownsville, New York, to an Italian-Spanish father, a Jewish mother with a Russian family background, Martha Sokolow Alzado, was himself Jewish. When he was 10, the family moved to Long Island, his father, whom Alzado described as "a drinker and street fighter," left the family during Alzado's sophomore year at Lawrence High School. He was a Vardon Trophy Candidate in high school for three years. Following his failure to receive a college scholarship offer, Alzado played for Kilgore College, a junior college in Kilgore, Texas. After two years, he was asked to leave the team, he contended, for befriending a black teammate. From Texas, Alzado moved on to the now-defunct Yankton College in South Dakota.

Though playing in relative obscurity in the NAIA, Alzado nonetheless gained notice by the NFL when a scout for the Denver Broncos, having been taken off the road by automobile trouble, decided to pass the time by screening a film of Montana Tech, one of Yankton's opponents. Impressed by the unknown player squaring off against Montana Tech's offense, the scout passed back a favorable report to his team; the Broncos drafted Alzado in the fourth round of the 1971 draft. Alzado went back to Yankton after his rookie season to get his college degree, he received a B. A. in physical education with an emphasis in secondary education. During his college years, Alzado participated in amateur boxing, made it to the semi-finals of the 1969 Midwest Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament, held in Omaha; when the Broncos' starting right defensive end Rich "Tombstone" Jackson was injured in 1971, Alzado took over the job and went on to make various All-rookie teams for his contributions of 60 tackles and 8 sacks. The following year, Alzado began to get national attention as he racked up 10½ sacks to go with his 91 tackles.

In 1973, Alzado posted excellent numbers as the Broncos had a winning record for the first time in team history with a 7–5–2 mark. In 1974, Alzado gained more notice as one publication named him All-AFC, with his 13 sacks and 80 tackles he was recognized as one of the NFL's top defensive ends, along with Elvin Bethea, Jack Youngblood, L. C. Greenwood, Claude Humphrey, Carl Eller; the Denver Broncos posted their second consecutive winning season, going 7–6–1. The 1975 season brought change, he responded with 7 sacks. Alzado took a step backward. On the first play of the 1976 season, Alzado missed that campaign; the Broncos were 9–5 but SPORT magazine reported that 12 players, including Alzado, did not think the team could reach the playoffs with coach John Ralston. Ralston was replaced as coach by Red Miller for the 1977 season; the 1977 season was the most successful in franchise history to that point. In that game, played in New Orleans, they were beaten soundly 27–10 by the Dallas Cowboys. Still, the year was a big success for Alzado, voted consensus All-Pro and consensus All-AFC as well as winning the UPI AFC Defensive Player of the Year.

He led the Broncos in sacks with 8, while making 80 tackles. In 1978, the Broncos again went to the AFC playoffs, but lost the rematch in the first round to the eventual champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Alzado had 77 tackles and 9 sacks and recorded his first NFL safety.. He was a consensus All-AFC pick. In 1979, he had a contract dispute, the Broncos traded him to the Cleveland Browns. Alzado played well with the Browns, he had 80 tackles that year to go with his seven sacks. The following year, the Browns won the AFC Central division, losing to the Raiders in the Divisional round. Alzado led the Browns in sacks with nine, was All-Pro and All-AFC. In 1981 he recorded 83 tackles and led the Browns in sacks with 8½. However, the Browns, who fell from 11-5 in 1980 to 5-11 in 1981, traded him to the Oakland Raiders in 1982. Being discarded by the Browns rekindled a fire in Alzado, he worked out with a vengeance. By the time Alzado joined the Raiders, the team had relocated to Los Angeles. In 1982, he was voted the NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

Although he played a full season in the strike-shortened 1982 season of 9 games, his play was so superior in 1982 that he garnered the award. Alzado recorded 7 sacks and 30 tackles while being voted All-AFC; this was the sixth season out of his first 12 campaigns that he received some sort of post-season honor. He continued to perform well for the Raiders in the 1983 season, helping lead them to a Super Bowl victory while recording 50 tackles and 7½ sacks. Alzado started at right end opposite future Hall of Fame inductee Howie Long, he had an outstanding 1984 season with 63 tackles and 6 sacks, but the next year his tackle and sack totals dipped to 31 and 3 following a mid-season injury. Alzado retired at the end of the 1985 season, he attempted a comeback in 1990, but injured a knee during t

Chandler Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station. It is 2.2 miles south of Chandler, Minnesota, on the Buffalo Ridge in section 13 of Moulton Township, Murray County. It was closed in 1969. In late 1951 Air Defense Command selected the site as one of twenty-eight radar stations built as part of the second segment of the permanent radar surveillance network. Prompted by the start of the Korean War, on July 11, 1950, the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the second segment of the permanent network. Receiving the Defense Secretary's approval on July 21, the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction; the 787th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was activated at Moulton, MN on 27 June 1951. The site was equipped with AN/FPS-3 and AN/FPS-4 radars, the station functioned as a Ground-Control Intercept and warning station; as a GCI station, the squadron's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit's radar scopes.

The site was named Chandler Air Force Station on 1 December 1953. By 1959 these sets had been replaced by AN/FPS-20 and AN/FPS-6 radars, the AN/FPS-20 set was upgraded and redesignated as an AN/FPS-64, a second height-finder radar was added in 1961. During 1961 Chandler AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment system feeding data to DC-11 at Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota. After joining, the squadron was redesignated as the 787th Radar Squadron on 1 April 1961; the radar squadron provided information 24/7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range, direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile. Chandler AFS was switched to SAGE Data Center DC-22 at Sioux City AFS, Iowa in 1963. On 31 July 1963, the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z-18. In 1965 Chandler AFS was operating an AN/FPS-27 set, the AN/FPS-64 was inactivated; the Air Force ordered radar operations to cease on 2 July 1969, inactivated the 787th Radar Squadron on 30 September 1969.

Air Force teams dismantled and removed the radars and communications equipment throughout the summer of 1969. The domes came down from the two height-finder radars, leaving only one dome remaining over the search radar. A small unit stayed behind for over a year to run that radar for the Federal Aviation Administration; the government subsequently sold the radar site to a developer and the housing area to a group of investors. Buyers removed the homes and the developer salvaged materials from the radar site, but was unable to find a commercial tenant or buyer, Today what was Chandler AFS has been obliterated, being demolished in June 1993 after sitting derelict for decades. A radio transmitter station now stands on the site, what appears to be a large overgrown pile of concrete on the site which may be the remains of the Air Force structures; the site is located at 339 State Highway 91, Chandler MN 56122 under the county-wide 9-1-1 address system.
