    While this thread title is "The Dirty Dozen" I was not actually thinking or hoping that we would not get "dirty" players....

    Urlacher and Singletary: OK.

    The other two may make a "Dirtiest player Dozen" list.

  • Gene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb...

    One QB told the story that if Lipscomb ever offered a hand to help you off the ground after he knocked you down, do not take it... he would try to crush your hand.

    I agree, somewhat. Romanowski was dirty. Harrison's hits may be considered dirty today, however, they are no dirtier than the classics (in their time) on your list.

    Maybe, I don't know. I avoided putting on the likes of Ben Davidson and Conrad Dobler and Hines Ward because of their reputation as dirty.

    I also left off the likes of Bruce Smith, Reggie White, Bob Lilly and some others.....though I did put in Joe Greene, who was about equal to those in terms of play.....but with a dirtier reputation.

  • Walter Payton....probably the nicest badass ever...

    Browns havent had too many legit badasses, but for a short while Don Rogers fit the bill.....

  • What players on our team do you think have what it takes to be on a championship team? I would say Joe Thomas but other than that IDK, Thoughts?

    Any of them could be on a championship team.

    Tramon Williams WAS on the 2010 Packers team that won the title.

    The thing that really matters is if the Browns can find a championship caliber QB.

    Give us Aaron Rodgers and I say here that ALL of the Browns on this roster have what it takes to be on a Championship team.

    Saw him play. Big Daddy was a giant back then & may be the ONLY player I ever saw take Jimmy Brown down one on one. He was an athletic freak, but sadly, had many demons & died while still a young man.

    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.

    Um...Frank Minnifield and Handford Dixon? Both badass IMO.
