Belongs in the "Dirtiest Player" HOF. As he said- stick you hand in my face, you're gonna get bit.
Modern Day- Whines Hard would be a lock. Never missed an opportunity to blast a defender when he wasn't looking.

I would say Mike Ditka, Kenny Easley, Earl Cambell, Mark Bavaro.

Most of you are missing the point. Those were great players, but not badass. There is a distinction. As great as Earl Campbell was, he was still a gentleman.
Jack Ham and Jack Lambert equally good and both HOF'ers. The only distinction between the two is that Ham was never regarded as a badass.
CB Deon Sanders not a badass, Rod Woodson was.

Walter Payton....probably the nicest badass ever...
Browns havent had too many legit badasses, but for a short while Don Rogers fit the bill.....

Karlos Dansby one of the top Browns? That's like saying Bernie Kosar is a great Cowboy quarterback.

Ok, replace Dansby with Joe Turkey.
I'll hold off on Eric Heiden for now ...
That's a Ghoolie Choice. (really referencing Steve Heiden) Did you see where he and Stan were together out in Las Vegas? Was that pre arranged?

Nope, I think they just found each other out there through Facebook.
I was wondering if you Ghoolied Heiden's name on purpose.

I did.
Speaking of Vegas. I was contemplating going out there for Super Bowl week. I can get a 2BR condo I think for a good rate.
I wonder if that would be of interest to some of the crew?
