K-9 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 clearly just trying to block on the interception return! have waited a good decade for one of our horrible d-linemen to do that to brady. You saw what happened when Florence just breathed in Brady's direction on the INT return this season. He would have been suspended for life if he actually tried to hit Brady. GO BILLS!!!
Steve O Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 clearly just trying to block on the interception return! have waited a good decade for one of our horrible d-linemen to do that to brady. me too
The Poojer Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Im seeing a trend....the 'son' at the end of the surname...hmmmm Ben Davidson Conrad Dobler Fred Williamson Rodney Harrison James Harrison GO BILLS!!!
VirginiaMike Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 In the top 5 you have to have these 3 (in no particular orde: Bill Romanowski Conrad Dobler Andre Waters After that, it's a toss up with alot of guys working towards it
Bob in STL Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 In no particular order: Romo Butkus Dobler Rodney Harrison Big Bad Ben Davidson - this guy was a complete jerk and king of the late hit and pile on Jack Tatum was feared but not dirty. His hits were legal (at the time) and lethal.
judman Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Brian Cox immediately comes to mind and is not yet listed.
The Senator Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) What, no love for Monty Stickles??? link I had the great pleasure of quaffing a few ales with Monty on several occasions back in my SF days. He was retired from football, had a Labatt distributorship in the Bay area, and was actually introduced to me by the owner of an establishment I frequented as 'the dirtiest player in the NFL - a 'distinction' that apparently pleased him . When I joked that Conrad Dobler would argue with that description, Monty got a bit animated, insisting, "Dobler was nothin'...I was way dirtier than Conrad Dobler!!!" He really was a very nice and fun guy to be around, and a colorful character on and off the field... Linebackers always knew when Monty Stickles was coming. Bartenders, too... Former 49er tight end was a tough customer . Edited February 1, 2012 by The Senator
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Not as dirty as the Martin hit on McMahon youtube.com/watch?v=lTLlaMY_9PM Wow. Might as well follow him home after the game and slam him in the driveway.
Santana Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 1. Rodney Harrison 2. Bill Romanowski 3. Brian Cox 4. Jack Tatum 5. Roy Williams- Ex-Dallas Safety
vorpma Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Ben Davidson Conrad Dobler Fred Williamson Rodney Harrison James Harrison GO BILLS!!! I'm on with your first two choices! The Bills had a strong Safety back in the late 60's named John Pitts who was a true cheap shot artist. One game Larry Czonka was rambling down the sidelines for a long run, slowed down to take a shot at Pitts, as in a combination forearm elbow and got called for a 15 yard conduct penalty. The Dolphin sideline, the crowd, and annoucers went beserk.
Phil Hansen Forever Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 In no particular order: Bill Romanowski Rodney Harrison Vince Wilfork Andre Waters Add Conrad Dobler and you have a great set. Wilfork is a pig. Thankfully, it came out during the Miami Hurricane investigation, but he is still allowed to play.
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Im seeing a trend....the 'son' at the end of the surname...hmmmm Lousy Scandinavians.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Gotta disagree on Hines Ward. These defensive players think it's great to lay-out receivers, but they can't handle it when he knocks them out on blocks. Dude is tough as nails, not dirty. What about that one Niner offensive lineman in the 90s? The guy won the dirtiest player "award" every year. Can't remember his name.
major Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 I forgot one: Charles Hailey. He might have 5 super bowl rings but the guy was dirty. Could be a reason he isn't in the HOF yet.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 1. Jack The Assasin Tatum 2. Conrad Dobler 3. Naidiot Suh 4. Johnny Sample 5. Any Ryan family member
Mark Vader Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I forgot one: Charles Hailey. He might have 5 super bowl rings but the guy was dirty. Could be a reason he isn't in the HOF yet. Taking a piss on George Seifert's car, when he wanted out of SF, does not help his cause either. He had some cheap shots too, but I wouldn't put him in the top 5. Edited February 2, 2012 by Mark Vader
vincec Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Not as dirty as the Martin hit on McMahon youtube.com/watch?v=lTLlaMY_9PM The best is how his team mates high five him after he gets ejected. Classy.
Beerball Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 James Harrison isn't "dirty". He just refuses to learn the new rules. The hits he's been fined for were legal when he came into the league. Now, Vince Willfuk is a very dirty player. And he has scabies. Harrison continues to break the rules, but rules that weren't in effect for previous generations of players so I get your point, but I'd call him dirty. Agree on Wilfork, surprised he wasn't on the original. I wouldn't consider Ward a dirty player, just one who plays hard every play. He's leveled his share of defensive players, but I don't consider him dirty. Offensive players who have been blind sided by him probably do though. If you include him then how about Warren Sapp? A rule changed after Sapp leveled an unsuspecting o-lineman after a turnover. And those who might mention Deacon Jones or Ben Davidson etc., what they did wasn't against the rules when they played the game.
HerdMenatlity1 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 In my opinion, the 5 dirtiest players/coaches in NFL History were/is: 1. Jack Tatum 2. Hines Ward 3. Buddy or Rex Ryan 4. James Harrison 5. John Gruden I excluded owners because the list would be too long. Hines Ward? Was this cuz he broke someone's jaw on a legal block. Or is it cuz he always smiles when he hits someone? Man, that was an awsome block(keep your head on a swivel). I would not have had Ward on the list. Plenty of aother dirty players to choose from. Rodney Harrison comes to mind. Dirty player in his days and now is a hipocrite(sp) on TV. Tha's one guy I was happy to see go down with a knee late in his career.
