Some of those SB's are fraudulent.
They also had Bill Walsh.

Thanks all for explaining this too me, but I'm gonna leave this off my list of motivational speeches.

Re: "We may have lost the game...,

You may win the game and dance off the field but when you wake up and crawl across the floor to get to the shower you will wonder if it was really worth it and dread the next meting because you have all this beating to look foreword to again.

Playing like this gave us the terms like hearing foot steps, spaghetti arms and owning the middle of the field.

It is not what a loser says. It is what a winner says despite losing. 110% for 60 minutes. The worse the game gets the madder a player gets, the more they take it out on opposing players.

It is old school defensive mentality that is slowly fading from the game. It is the small things I miss seeing. Never help an opposing player up. Use their head to get yourself to your feet after a tackle. pile driving a player as a exclamation point to a tackle. A tackle that left a player crumpled on the field was a bag of honor. If they are blowing snot bubbles too it was icing on the cake.

millionaires vs 100k with off season jobs to make ends met.

Times were different. Hurting players was part of the game. Players accepted it as part of the risks of game. Nasty play had a completely different meaning back then, today they suspend you for games for what was normal play back in the day. Back then you saw little of these knee shots you see today. I actually think it was safer in many ways in the old days offenses than it is today.

there is a built in safety factor in flinching out of fear.

That is how I was taught football as a kid. That is why I love it.

Never stop and pound the helll out of them till the final whistle blows.

If we would have lost to say Kurt Warner after that vicious hit that pretty much ended his career I would say he felt that one for many mornings. Same for Favre. Think even his own brother said something about him being beat up pretty bad, even pictures Brett posted.

I clearly stated if we had lost. I am assuming you want me to find a specific game for you where something of this nature happened but the team lost? I could do that but what is the point. You obviously know these events happen but just don't like the phrase for whatever reason. I can't help you with that one only try to explain why inflicting uncommon physical pain is sometimes the intent. Winning may not be the ultimate goal at some point.

Got it and thanks. You can tell it's the winter doldrums with grown people discussing something a lineman said when I was still in high school -a whole buncha years ago. I would say everybody's (except Dieon Sanders') goal on defense is to inflict uncommon physical pain on the other team, win or lose. The saying just seems like it would have to end with either the guy sticking out his tongue or with the snappy, "So there!" attached to it. Anyhow Happy Fat Tuesday to all tomorrow and is it going to be football season anytime soon?

nono, Beast, I was talking about Steve Young-- as far as us retiring him earlier, since he insisted on running around, like a fool. He paid the price...

Re: "We may have lost the game...,

There are teams like that. You might beat them on the scoreboard but you'll be hurting on the ride home I have both played for and against those teams.

11 years ago I played a semi-final against a team that had beaten us by 30 in two games that season. On that day we physically beat the crap out of them. They hade players limping and getting carried of the field. We were missing fire Power on O, especially at WR and eventually lost the game 14-10. They lost 5 players.
