Nooooooi

He was one of my child hood idles
I used to work on my white ass jumping abilities to imitate willie wood
this is sad.

He made an incredible open field solo tackle on Jim Brown in the 1965 NFL championship game even though he was virtually half Brown’s size. Prevented a TD. Dick Butkus told me that Jim Brown was the toughest player he ever had to tackle.
Wood was a DC local.
RIP

Butkus would have to prove to me he played against Jim Brown.

Butkus would have to prove to me he played against Jim Brown.

Butkus entered the NFL in 1965...Jim Brown left it in 1966. You do the math.

Your toughness is legendary. Who was the toughest opponent you ever faced?

Jim Brown

The income tax man.

Jim Brown
(2:56 PM)


No...I would say Dick Butkus is one of them.

You are trying to qualify your statement which is ridiculous and cowardly. Don't say such stupid crap to begin with next time, okay Super Sports Fan?

They played against each other in 1965. The Willie Wood play I referred to was in Jim Brown’s last game in the 1965 NFL championship game.

The regular season schedule shows that the Browns never played the Bears.

Then Jim Brown lied about Butkis being his toughest opponent. Why would he do that?

I have to do better than Jim Brown's own words? Fuck off, twerp!

The two could have played preseason. Or in an all star game.
Suck on your own ignorance and presumption.

And why would Butkus lie about Brown being the toughest to tackle? He didn’t need to impress me.
