Retro Roq Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Rosie Greer's still alive! He's now 80, but still with us.Wow, I just had it in my head that dude was dead. My favorite Rosie story was that he was the guy who ripped the gun from Sihans hands when Sirhan killed Kennedy.Fearsome FoursomeSteel CurtainPurple People EatersDoomsday DefenseWhen football was football, and they hadn't yet put quarterbacks & wide receivers in skirts, bras & panties!All monster defenses worthy of their monikers. Dont forget the "no-name" defense though... them boys brought the wood as well and have the Lombardis to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Masbinacci Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Bump... I'm bumping any post that is football talk an not drama. One way to quit the drama, is to stop caring and replying to it. Let these fools talk among their self and stay out of it. (they eventually die off) That's my two cents. Now enjoy all the football bumps.True bump for a great player that i never got see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
