The Dirty Dozen
-
Here is my list of the "Dirty Dozen", i.e. the Top 12 Badasses in NFL History. No order:
Any other nominees?
I would say Mike Ditka, Kenny Easley, Earl Cambell, Mark Bavaro.
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.....

Conrad Dobler

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?

Josh is an interesting inclusion...
Others to consider for O...
- Motley has to be in there... outbruised JB's bruising style.
- Need a TE and Milt Morin fills the bill.
- For OG might forgo DeLamielleure due to short tenure, but might argue Wooten over Hickerson.
- For C would argue DeLeone over Baab
- If there's room for a QB... Bill Nelsen.
On the D side...
- DTs love Sherk and Johnson, but have to consider Bob Gain and our Perry brother... Michael Dean.
- DEs without Bill Glass or Paul Wiggin?
- OLBs without Clay Sr.?
- ILB has to consider Bam Bam.

He covered kicks like Bademosi while setting NFL records for kick returns.
Took monster hits and dished them out.
I really respect Josh.
