NFL LB Legends

Watch this instead of the toilet bowl (Steelers v Bengals). Ray Ray is almost bearable in this. Almost. Good stuff.

You’re missing out. There wasn’t much of him there anyway.

 

[Boomer B]

Can we get a poll to go with this thread?

Where's **** Butkus? Any roundtable of LB greats is incomplete without him.

There’s a race discussion as part of this on how certain positions in the game was reserved for the thinking person aka the white male. My guess this is why he’s not included.

That's a good reason not to watch the damn thing -- excluding the GREATEST linebacker in NFL history because of his race. Screw them.

Screw merit and qualifications. Race comes first. See Harvard and the Asian kids

I can’t stand the Pastor Ray shtick. Ray loves him some Ray.

My main point on this is the video is billed with the NFL 100 years pr0mo logo. Besides being the best middle linebacker ever to play the game, **** Butkus also was coached by the man who INVENTED the NFL -- George Halas. Who better to be included in a discussion by the all-time greats? If they want to talk about perceived racism that might best be reserved for its own forum. Even then, I'm sure Butkus would have some valuable perspective to add on that issue.

How many Bears middle linebackers are you going to have on the show? It was already weird enough there were two Giants, although they at least played different positions.

Singletary's there, and he should be. He won a ring, Butkus never won donkey ****.

 

[patfanken]

What comes through is that Harry Carson IS the man. He actually makes Lawrence Taylor cry. Really. It's a good clip and worth the Ray Lewis BS to see. Willie Lanier is another guy I liked in it. Old school.....like me.

Butkus is a Hall of Famer and all-pro superstar who played on bad teams. He was better than anyone on that panel. Aside from that, what difference does it make having more than one guy from the same team? Hell, for that matter Brian Urlacher should be on the panel as well.

No.

Lawrence Taylor was better than anyone on that panel, and **** Butkus and Brian Urlacher too.

Don't believe me? Ask Harry Carson and Bill Belichick.

We can agree to disagree on Butkus (who redefined the position for the modern era) being the GOAT. And I doubt Carson and BB could be objective on the matter.

Sure he is not better than LT I will agree with that.

You did attempt to undermine his greatness by saying he did not win donkey **** however. Which is absurd. Ever here of the Butkus award? he played 9 Years and was all pro in 6 of them

 

[Patriot Missile]

Privileged to have been able to see Taylor play. Tippett was something else too. Not quite LT but a AFC elite. Tippett played on some good teams but nothing like that Giants line.

One of my non Patriot favorites was Lions lb Chris Spielman. Just a tackling machine long before Kuechly. Not one of the greatest of all time but definitely one of my favs.

 

[fnordcircle]

TL;DW?

Because I don't make it a habit of watching videos without at least some semblance of understanding of what they're covering. There's just too much time wasting BS for me to click on ever video someone posts to farm likes.

The football life on spielman was great

Great, now I'm going to have nightmares about contests that award donkey ****s!
