That brings back lots of early childhood memories of my favorite NFL team...along with some other names like Jim Mitchell, Claude Humphrey, Tommy Nobis, Harmon Wages, Bob Berry, and Norm Van Brocklin...

You like thugs.



Peter Warrick was not a thug. He received an improper discount at Dillard's. Players get free shite all the time. Doesn't make him a thug

Guy robbed McDonald's...

He had a few screws loose, for sure.

Mike Shula

I was around 8 or 9 I guess and I can remember asking my dad...who's Alabama's quarterback. He told me Mike Shula and I went out in the yard and pretended I was Shula. I was throwing the ball saying and Mike Shula throws to the wide receiver...TOUCHDOWN Alabama. Ever since then I started watching and really paying attention to who the players were. He just happened to be the QB of my favorite team.

I grew up in the dark ages of Alabama football, so it's probably Tyrone Prothro (this includes all football players, not just Alabama)

Warrick and Coles were accused of walking out of a Dillard's department store Sept. 29 after paying $21.40 for $412.38 in designer clothes. A Dillard's clerk, who also was charged with grand theft yesterday, discounted the clothes for the players, police said.
Obviously what was done wasn't OK, but come on.

He and Coles got arrested for grand theft because they got $412 worth of Dillard's merchandise for $21.

He didn't commit armed robbery. You're just butthurt

Oddly enough...earliest college favorites:

Derrick Ramsey - UK '75-'77
Herschel Walker - UGA '80 - 82
Reggie White - UT '80-83

So of my three childhood college favorites, two started in the USFL and the other changed positions in the NFL.

As for my favorite pro player...Charlie Waters...the guy was a badass at Dallas.
