Mike Phipps was in that video. The original Browns QB bust. After years of futility he got beat out by Sipe and the idiot Bears traded a FRP for him that became Ozzie.

Some contemporaries thought he was the best RB of all time as he was a tremendous blocker as well as a devastating runner. Also played LB. Broke the color barrier with Bill Willis.

Usually being the biggest and fastest guy on the field ends sometime in junior high. What a player!
On the defensive side, I was a big fan of this guy in the 90s. He was a total maniac.
Yeah I remember the controversy over his spearing. Back then, people would sometimes try to argue that leading with the head was okay as long as you didn't hit someone helmet to helmet. We now know that any leading with the head, regardless of where it lands, is dangerous.Leading with the crown of the helmet... football like God intended....like God football inten.....ummm.... hold on..... like football intended to God....
shit, I's confused right now. I need a nap.
Seriously tho, damn. Football has gone too far in some areas to protect people who chose to play a sport for millions of dollars, but damn, disallowing leading with the crown is a good thing. The volume of vicious blows those guys absorbed... giving and taking.... to the head.... now that we know the long term damage that occurs.... smh (no pun intended).
