My uncle met him back in the 90s and says he was a legend and extremely down to earth abd humble guy. Honestly I am happy to know he is at peace by Gods side now. Rest in power Carl Weathers
I hated hearing about Mr. Weathers passing because i met him 4 months before he passed away and he was such a nice man. I got his autograph and when i told him my birth name he had to “yell” out my name like anyone who’s seen Rocky does when they meet me and he let me do the arm/handshake thing from the predator with him too it was so awesome. Not only did i get his autograph but i got one for my lady friend/coworker because she’s a huge Star Wars/mandalorian fan and she’s been looking out for me since i came out of the closet so sure she was devastated when she found out he passed away and will cherish that autograph i got her even closer
you were very lucky to meet him and receive autographs.! 😊 both you and your friend, cherish them. ☺️ he certainly was a talented gentlemen.! it is a great loss. 😔😢 🕯🥺 ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻
I'm 77 & have enjoyed seeing Carl Weathers in films, since he started in the 1970's! When a man that obviously has stayed in top physical condition all his life, dies suddenly in his sleep at only 76, it has to show all of us how fragile & fleeting,that life is! Carl, we miss you, already! R.I.P.!
The commercial was very touching and paid best respects to the late Carl Weathers. Let's give FanDuel a big thanks for such a touching tribute to Carl Weathers. R.I.P. Carl Weathers---A true American hero.
Rest in peace O.G. Carl Weathers, we love you, we'll miss you, we'll never forget you, and there's no one who can ever fill your shoes!!!!!!!. Rest now, and know assuredly that you've completed your mission ✊️🗡🥊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊.
Like many, I'll remember him as Apollo Creed. Saw him on a talk show - way back when and just came across as down-to-earth, kind man. Very cool for a superstar athlete and actor.
Definitely one of the saddest celebrity deaths for me. This man’s on screen talent was a staple of my childhood growing up in the 80’s and 90’s. Such a cool dude and always seemed like he had fun with every role. RIP
San Francisco native here 🌉 The late Carl Weathers graduated 🎓 from San Francisco State University. He played with the Oakland Raiders 💀 in the NFL and BC Lions in the CFL. RIP Carl Weathers.
Carl should have won for best supporting actor in Rocky 3, when he mentioned those words "Eye of the Tiger", when helping a depressed Rocky from his loss to Clubber Lang.
There is a deleted scene in Close Encounters where Carl Weathers plays a National Guardsman who confronts Roy Neery (Richard Dreyfus) at the rail station.
He died in Damnation Alley, The Wrath Of Khan,Terminator & Predator. How many other movies did he not survive to the end ? R.I.P. Carl one hell of an Humanbeing.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going." -Carl Weathers
As a kid he was APOLLO CREED I would see Carl in another movie and expect him to be APOLLO what we think as kids . But we can watch Apollo or Carl anytime we want
damn i miss the tribute!…that’s a shame because i'd just said to a friend how are they going to finish the commercial since he’s not around…i knew they wouldn’t bring someone of his status on board just to give GRONK a ride and nothing else
Rocky is not a success without the acting and physical presence of Carl Weathers. He was the perfect foe for Rocky, and went on to assist the franchise for four films total. I even love Action Jackson.
Rest In Peace Carl Weathers.
Great job acknowledging to his young fans that there’s so much more to remember than this one commercial.
So glad the NFL took the time to acknowledge the recent passing of Carl Weathers with this tribute! R.I.P Legend! You will be missed! 🙏

An iconic actor and human being. That commercial had me in tears. A beautiful tribute. 🕊️🙏❤️

What a nice tribute. Thanks again Mr. Weathers for all the entertainment you brought us over the years.
His character in Arrested Development was my favorite role he ever played. He was so funny on that show. RIP Carl weathers
I forgot he was in In The Heat Of The Night. One of my fave shows to watch when I was younger.
That was a touch of class. RIP Mr. Weathers.

Hell Yeah! RIP Carl Weathers. "Be a Thinker, Not a Stinker." From the 1st time I saw him playing Apollo Creed, I knew the man was a class act.
Thank you

We love you Carl !!!
God Bless you Carl you and Arnold were responsible for me growing a full grown beard at 13 years old within 3 secs with that bro shake thank you.🤠
Rip Carl weather man never be forgotten legend
Carl should have won for best supporting actor in Rocky 3, when he mentioned those words "Eye of the Tiger", when helping a depressed Rocky from his loss to Clubber Lang.
Carl also played for the BC Lions of the CFL as well. He was the spokesperson for the Hudson Bay Co. men's clothing line and suits.
When him and Arnold shook hands. You sonnovabytch was iconic
Hey, if Arrested Development hired him, he must have been pretty awesome.
Much respect to Fan Duel. When I saw the title card “Thank you, Carl”, I teared up 😢
Thank you fanduel
I was socked too. He was larger than life and a wonderful person.
Love you Carl🙌🏿👏🏿💪🏿👍🏿👼🏿🙏🏿👌🏿
hard to believe he's gone. unforeseen circumstances befall us all. But we have hope of the Resurrection amen
I Remembered Another Classic Movie He Starred In It Was Titled "Action Jackson". R.I.P OG Carl Weathers 🦾🦾💯
Very underated but he was a BAD MAN never got his props rest in power but never forgotten
Carl Weathers was awesome.
I’m surprised the video didn’t mention his time in the NFL as a player on the Oakland Raiders roster 1970-1971.
The world was a little better ehile Mr. Weathers was an actor. Most of fans (like me) will especially miss him. RIP. Carl Weathers.😔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That’s just freaking great 👍🏻
LEGEND...
Great actor very charismatic
❤
Stallone should have had him in the Expendables movies! That would have been epic
Teared up at the end of the commerical
From France, M.Weathers est un grand acteur. Immortel!
R.I.P Mr. Weathers
LEGENDS NEVER DIE! 💪💪💪
We’ve only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we’re on our way

Rest in peace.

There is a deleted scene in Close Encounters where Carl Weathers plays a National Guardsman who confronts Roy Neery (Richard Dreyfus) at the rail station.
He was a total badass of a person he retwitted my comment: "Its all in the hips!"
He died in Damnation Alley, The Wrath Of Khan,Terminator & Predator. How many other movies did he not survive to the end ? R.I.P. Carl one hell of an Humanbeing.
Also in death hunt
He wasn't in Wrath of Khan, that was Paul Winfield.
@@mr.hamachi9918 It might have been Paul winfield in Damnation Alley. It was after work and i was kind of brain dead.
He wasn't in Terminator either again it was Paul Winfield.
Mr. Weathers WAS NOT in either the Terminator or The Wrath of Khan. That was the brilliant late actor, Mr. Paul Winfield, RIP.
Forget the film but Carl Weathers did a great turn as an escaped convict. R.I.P
He was so funny in Arrested Development. If you havent seen his part from start to finish, you are missing out
Don't forget his ABC series Fortune Dane ...
The epic 'Dillon you Son of a bitch' handshake
I think Carl's weather was the best tribute rest in peace whether you're black or white
It's all in the hips!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going." -Carl Weathers

I watched action Jackson tonight, I recommend to all who have not seen it yet!
Damn you now you honor him after his freaking dead!!!!!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢
As a kid he was APOLLO CREED I would see Carl in another movie and expect him to be APOLLO what we think as kids . But we can watch Apollo or Carl anytime we want
I'm going to lose when Stallone and Arnold go to Valhalla....
How can you forget Action Jackson? The disrespect
damn i miss the tribute!…that’s a shame because i'd just said to a friend how are they going to finish the commercial since he’s not around…i knew they wouldn’t bring someone of his status on board just to give GRONK a ride and nothing else
Would've been helpful to actually show the commercial.
There is no tomorrow !!
RIP Action Jackson 🙏
I wonder if people remember that he was also Action Jackson? 🤔
Rocky is not a success without the acting and physical presence of Carl Weathers. He was the perfect foe for Rocky, and went on to assist the franchise for four films total. I even love Action Jackson.
Role model

Love you carl weathers ❤❤❤
Tour of duty as well.🥹🥹🥲
Action Jackson
RlP
Best part of the Rocky movies. I really lost interest after he was killed off.
It may have been the you know what 💉
I guess Toby Keith doesn't matter huh
i was thinking the same thing. A country legend but i guess it was about black history month so it doesn't matter to them.
Only blacks have tributes. Don't you notice that. Nfl nba.
@@_Birdee_ Wow, just wow.
Just play the commercial. Your talking is irrelevant.
RIP Legend...
This was way better than the dumb Jesus commercial, Rest In Power Carl Weathers
Dumb Jesus commercial?

See the re-cap of it on this channel. For what it's worth...I don't think it's dumb. It's thought provoking.
