In the league since '98, never missed a game, SB champ with the Rams, started every year since '99, even at the current age of 36.

Gotta be one of the greatest unheralded players of all time.

How many LB's, outside of Ray Lewis, are still leftover from the 90's?

I honestly havent heard anybody talk about dude since the days with the Rams, despite the fact he's made the Pro Bowl a few times recently. Guess thats what happens when you play for the Bills and Redskins :yeshrug:

He's had a solid career, especially for a 5'9" LB. The fact that he's never missed a game in 14 years is pretty amazing

Women in his family fought security guards after the last Redskins games. They were arrested. 4 delicate flowers were taken to jail for bar fighting.

Tommy Sotomayor is on it.


London Fletcher's family involved in police incident at Browns game

The family was harassed by security, who asked HOW THEY GOT SUCH GOOD SEATS. Oh hell to the nawl. Don't take the bait when they try to provoke you. Do not play into their hands.

Would a non-black family have been questioned along these lines?
NEVER take the bait.

That wasn't even racist, his family prolly are some ghetto birds that provoked security. Why would someone say that knowing that they could lose their job.

his numbers were compared to Ray Lewis, and they were very comparable in every category.

One of the most underrated players ever. I hope dude goes into the HOF as a Redskin.


He cant cover anyone anymore, but he has been really good this season since early on this year. The guy is just an amazing footballer.

I think it's his ankle for the most part. Shanny says after every team. "I really thought he couldn't go"

In saying that, his play since the ankle injury has been :wow:

whats more overlooked was his ability as a true 3 down LB, he used to cover a ton of ground in the middle of the field on passing downs on top of being a tackle machine

he wont go 1st ballot, he'll have to wait until hes well into his late 40's but i do think he gets in the Hall eventually

Was just talking to one of my homies (who is a Redskin fan) about this. As someone already said if it wasn't for the fact that the teams he was on weren't playoff contenders he would have gotten just as much shine as Ray as far as the GOATS are concerned.
