No you dont.

Who was the "thug" on the 79 Steelers?
" " 73 Dolphins?

A "thug" is a fkn criminal and criminals do not make any team better.


Contrary to popular belief lack of a criminal history doesn't make someone " a good guy". Criminal History just means someone was just too stupid to get away with what they did.

Actually a thug is a violent person, especially a criminal; meaning you can be considered a thug without being a criminal. But get as technical with the meaning of words all you want. I was born in 1990. Never saw those teams. But I do know I'm right. So I wont argue about it.

The origin of "thug" is Hindi 'thag'.. litteraly thief. First known use 1810

Merriam-webster:
Definition of THUG
: a brutal ruffian or assassin


Sorry, I do not buy slang.. Or loose miss-interpretations.

In any account, that sort adds nothing to a team based on that premiss.

Brutal ruffian sounds a lot like what I said. There are gang members on the Saints as we speak bro; Gangster Disciples, Bloods, Crips, and Vice Lords I know several guys in both the collegiate and pro level and 60% of them were what would be called "thuggin" where I come from. The NFL is not filled with high character guys, its filled with actors and rehearsed answers.

And they don't take that sh1t on the field... Which negates your original point "You need a couple of thugs in the mix."

That violent mentality translates very well onto a football field. Remember our Super Bowl run? Forget about the bounties? Just because they aren't out there with their gang flags and a pistol doesn't mean the mentality isnt the same.
