If you ever wonder why changes were needed and we have the concussion protocol we have now all you have to do is see Chad Johnson in that interview. That is scary stuff.
Mb it’s not tool bag but has it increased safety through the league. Desire and results are different things…..think before you speak.
@@TheEsquireofSports.2.0what does that even mean? Lol obviously they wouldn’t want to be sued again and obviously they wouldn’t pussify the game if they hadn’t been sued. League wants the game safe so they can continue to print money. Players want the game safe so they can continue making generational wealth for as long as possible.
Only problem is the league is going too far and new up and coming leagues who aren’t so reactionary will have an edge in 15yrs if the officiating keeps headed the direction it’s going
Ugh…It’s not scary. And I really hate that ppl who believe it’s scary are the ppl who’s opinions are catered to. Ppl who haven’t experienced it and want to find ways to be more offended than the next. Safety is great. Seeing a person faded after gettin baptized is a part of contact sports and 100% recoverable
@@tjanderson5892 Yeah, countless medical professionals would disagree with your ability to brush this off as nothing to worry about. But if seeing a grown man visibly unaware of his surroundings, as Chad Johnson was in that video, is something that is entertaining to you then you do you. But most reasonable people would see that video and have a natural inclination to understand that what you saw there is not normal nor healthy. Yes, often players do recover but often there are symptoms long after that type of injury occurs. I understand that you, as an alpha male, are so in tuned to your masculinity that any thought of making a sport safer is a challenge to said masculinity but most reasonable people would come to the conclusion that seeing somebody hit like that and the impact it has on them isn't necessary for the sport to be entertaining.
Big hits and injuries are part of the game and a natural risk of many contact sports. But there are often reasons to make the sports safer for all parties involved. Not to mention that the sport is bigger than ever and that is with all the attempts to make the game safer.
But go on...
Truth@@TheEsquireofSports.2.0
The one guy who said, “You know what guys I think we have to just let Chad rest”, did everyone a favor that day.
I was like why they trying to interview that man when anybody can see he still out of it.
I'm glad the NFL takes head trauma more seriously these days.
@@ddavis8988 Answer your own question you did.
These days, they would've let the interview continue. Just to have news headlines
The media man, never lets up they see this guy woosie and still want to ask questions. Dayum
I lost it when he went 🗣️ “HUUUUGGHHHHH!” 😂😂
To see chris Carter being the first guy there to check on Shannon goes to show the sportsmanship by Carter there man
I noticed that too. Cris Carter was the first to come check on Unc. That's real.
So rare, right! I think the most egregious in my history was Daniel Jones to Trysten Hill. Still don't agree with contract he didn't deserve but shrugged shoulders when he went down. Recently, Chargers QB did that, too. Brady always checked on his guys.
Came to comments to make this exact comment! CC a stand up dude
Didn’t want to see him injured especially after Sterling was injured also
Now, they would say both are soft can't be friends
That Chad hit was brutal. If that was in today’s game, Russell would’ve served a 10 year sentence
The game was almost over and It was a blowout.
There was no reason for Carson or Chad to still be in the game. They were trying to pad their stats and unfortunately paid for it.
Lmao fr
Throw away the key 😂
That was scary lmao
I grew up watching Chad play. Back then ppl said the league was soft compared to older generations.
When you see these hits, you wonder why these dudes contracts aren't fully guaranteed. They are literally risking their lives. These hits were brutal
Especially back then
Funny this is he didn't even try to hit him.. he went for int but they collided
Facts 💯
I blame that on the NFLPA
What I think is even worse than the non guaranteed contracts is they don't have healthcare.
Come on... With the money the NFL makes these players shouldn't have to worry about healthcare after retirement. Football, more than any other sport, has these dudes putting their body on the line. They are doing permanent damage to themselves. I understand a lot of these dudes get paid a lot of money. But who can foresee the problems they might get 20 years down the line. NFL is pulling 15 billion a year... They can afford to take care of their guys.
I know a bunch of older fans say we miss the old NFL, but they had to evolve. Those guys were getting jacked up. I remember seeing that Chad Johnson hit and it’s criminal that the Bengals let him give an interview, he was all kinds of messed up.
The days of Lynn Swann getting leveled, and Daryl Stingley being paralyzed were brutal. Jack Tatum and some of those guys were out for blood. Yes, rules had to change or else. There quite a few of them that were dirty as Hell. Playing hard is one thing, but to intentionally try to hurt or maim another player was uncalled for and almost criminal. Seems like that players like that should have been kicked out of the league. Tatum never felt bad or thought he did anything wrong for his “hit” on Stingley. Proof to me that he was a dirty asshole.
@williewade1 "or else" already happened. The NFL got sued for hiding concusions and paid out $765 million to former players.
Lets not act like the NFL changed out of the goodness of its own heart. They were forced too.
Facts
Quit using the word "criminal' pearl clutching Karen... Yes those hits are extreme but definitely not " criminal"
@@AkronkangarooMy brother in Christ if those hits kept happening you were genuinely going to have more and more players in wheel chairs or a grave at an early age. It's only legal because they put on shoulder pads. Today it's definitely illegal.
Sheesh that interview with Chad made chills run thru me.. scary.
Totally unnecessary. 34-10. 1:55 left.
I interviewing a concussed players is insane lol the 2000’s was crazy 🤣
Brian Russell watches Nightcap every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday rubbing his hands talking like, "Oh yeah, it's real sweet up in here."
Brian Russell was apart of my favorite Vikings defense him and Corey chavous picked off everything
@@mattwilliams4142 That front 4 combined with that high scoring offense made things easy for them. Playing with the lead plus pressure allowed for them to play center field most games.
Lmao
Brian Russell was a QB @ San Diego State... imagine our surprise when he turned into a legit THUMPER as an NFL safety
@mattwilliams4142 02 and 03 Russell and Chavous had like 8 or 9 picks each those 2 years. That 2002 game Shannon mentioned I think was the Randy Moss lateral to Mo Williams game.
Cris Carter came immediately and checked on Unc. Real one
Facts
Off the sideline, that’s rare
And they try to make it seemli
@@sofa.kinggreat you alright? fell asleep mid sentence?
@@myronwilborn6561 😂😂 I was on another planet don't even remember this
Chad speaking at the end was scary, of you've never played football like here on the US from High school level to NFL the hits are never soft, your always on pain and always injured you just may not see it sometimes, very painful game to play for sure
I was so naive back in high school. I always told myself I was going to be drug free and follow the rules when I played, but I never understood how some of my teammates were able to recover so fast and/or tolerate certain hits.
A lot of them were smoking weed and/or taking pain killers to cope with the pain, and I never realized until after high school that it damn near becomes a necessity in order to play.
That pig Brian Russell and his steroids were hiding masculinity issues, glad to see he isn't known for anything but being a dirtbag
@GamingCentralTV1 yes bro, I played 3yrs and was a 2 time captain during high-school and definitely smoked during the season 😂
@GamingCentralTV1 yeah you have to end up doing something football one of the most brutal sports I've ever played hands down you can work out all you want health all nothing prepares you for that level of physicality
Pratices were even tough, You were allowed to hit each other full pads when I praticed, the only players you weren't allowed to hit was the QB. That's it. No one hardly ever got injured in games.
Chris Carter is such a stand-up guy. Went over to check on Sharpe after that brutal hit.
I grew up in this era when I see old footage like this it's still crazy that this was quality of footage we were watching 😵💫
It wasn’t this bad.
It’s because the VHS tapes they were stored on degraded over time before they got digitized
Yeah when it was live it was a lot clearer the stuff we see that’s recorded is the actual issue because they didn’t have the technology to get clear recordings at the time. Like movies and shit from back then look hd. lol so it couldn’t be that much of a discrepancy.
Damn, man. The post game with Chad was really just scary and sad. I was always a fan of him and the sht these guys went through to entertain us was wild. Gladiators.
I’m 24 he was my idol man their generation was the last warriors. That 2000’s era was unmatched
Like you know what’s weird there’s no Db’s or safeties in todays game who are that special. We used to have Troy and Ed, Darrelle Revis,Champ Bailey, now what do we have. If Jalen Ramsay continues he could be borderline, who else, Jamal Adams was supposed to be special but he’s nowhere near Dawkins or Troy. Guys like Derwin, Budda Baker just don’t compare with those past guys we were spoiled In that era.
@@vigilantgopher9563 Antoine Winfield Jr is a clone of his Dad, so he's a real one
@@montessaurus He’s great and I hope he puts up Hof numbers
Brian Russell was out there clocking cats lol 😂😂😂😂
In a given season of today's NFL, his hits on Ocho and Unc would be the two most violent.
Lmao Ocho looked like he was i la la land in that interview
yeah he seemed pretty f'ed up..
Like the 1st time a person smokes weed! 😂
Concussion make you feel like you drunk
@juancorrales2358 You would've been in the hospital after a hit like that.
@@musicman195959 ok
Orlando Thomas was picked 42nd in the 1995 draft by the Minnesota Vikings. He chose number 42 (he wore 43 later on), and the team retired his number 42 jersey in his honor. He died at the age of 42. He died only a couple of weeks after he turned 42.
Now that's crazy
Woah 😮
Oh wow
How did he die?
@@TeemoHarris ALS
Elway just floated that ball into triple coverage. 😂
Proper hospital pass
Amen! Tom Brady's point about these ridiculous fines being leveled against these guys today for baby hits is 100%. It is on the QUARTERBACK to avoid making passes that are going to put their receivers in danger. Yes, there should be rules against targeting, but the new NFL is painful to watch. I'd rather watch old games from the 80s and 90s any day.
Goes to show how much better QB play has gotten over time. A hall of famer like Elway throwing up hospital balls.
@@willzinc6137nah nowdays a Receiver can't get leveled like this
Shannon and Sterling are both from a tiny town in southern Georgia called Glennville. My uncle lived there before he passed away. I went there many years deer hunting. I was in Glennville in '97 and was filling up my Mustang and Shannon was filling up his black Range Rover at the next pump. We locked eyes and he knew I recognized him. I just smiled and did a head nod. He returned it. I think he appreciated not getting bothered or hit up for an autograph. Him and his brother were outstanding players. Cheers.
Someone tell Shannon Sharpe he got knocked out with Orlando`s elbow, not his knee. Thomas was DIRTY.
He's apparently STILL suffering from the hit. 😅
Thomas was dirty that's why Hind Ward retaliated against DBs when he got the chance some hits by DBs are clean then others are Dirty
Thomas was elite. Every team wanted a safety like him during that era. This used to be a contact sport and Orlando dished out a lot of that contact. Paved the way for ed reeds and Troy polamalus
He recalled the play from memory I'm sure he's never seen that actual replay... still impressive to know the play like that
@@MrKcprimes you really think him, a student of the game after all these years have never watched his own replay ? 😂
God, it’s videos like these that make me remember how violent this sport was. Absolute insanity on those hits.
Love how the video is played after each hit. Watched the whole thing. Love it. Good job!
And Sharp still thinks it was a knee that got em….. he still knocked out
🤣🤣
im not the only one who notice
Chad got hit so hard he didn’t even remember how he got hit 😵💫
That interception by Thomas was an incredible play.
He flying knee KO'd him and caught a interception at the same time lol
@@Sisyphus..it wasn’t a knee it was a elbow lol
That's the only thing you focused on...smh Americans man 😒
Definitely wasn’t knee
When we watch Nightcap, we want to go back and find those clips as well. Thank you so much for this!
Having each hit got this video a thumbs up. Having the postgame interview with Chad got you a new subscriber. Great job !
People forget how brutal football was.
Cris Carter just moved up on my all-time receiver list...always thought he was underrated to begin with but to see him run on the field like that for an opposing player...back in those day's everyone wasn't all buddy buddy and trading jerseys like they are now...really speaks to his character
he was #2 in almost every receiving stat when he retired.. its only the fact that all these numbers today or inflated with the modern game... he still has 120+ TDs.. no receivers these days can even crack 90 TD for a career
@@ClasherSports I knew about his stats but I never felt like he got the credit that was due to him for whatever reason...problems off the field or whatever else...I just feel like he's not mentioned enough when talking about the greatest receiver's of all-time...his body control and sideline catches were incredible
@@ronaldschroeder1691facts
Great Comment 🏆
Thanks for looking these up!! I looked for them both after I heard the convo lol
The fact they both ended in interceptions adds salt to the wound smh
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is why I really have more respect for older records for
WR and QBs because the rules were different and both had to earn their keep. Now I still enjoy the game but all of these records are easier for the offense they should break records . But it is what it is
lol why were the Bengals throwing with their starters in up 24 points with 1:54 to go in the game??
Exactly my thoughts
I remember a Cincinnati vs Baltimore game where Ray Lewis hit Chad Johnson on a crossing route, laid Chad out, he got right back up and tried to fight Ray who just walked away, the crazy thing is the Ravens players grabbed Chad 😂
Football is so dangerous, glad my sons got into other activities. Chad’s interview at the end, that is crazy. Mike Ditka said football is a collision sport
Both Orlando Thomas and Brian Russel were Vikings safeties to start their careers. Thomas led the league in interceptions his rookie year and Russel set an NFL record for interceptions to start a season as a rookie with I believe 6 straight games.
That would make sense if they had the same defensive coach lol
They both hit like trained assassins 🥶
Brian Russell gave receivers HELL! Those hits were vicious!
Elway didn't even check on him. Just walked off the field.
lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He out there throwing hospital passes 😂😂😂
Yea that was some bullshit he better have apologized for that
😂😂😂😂 Elway said who's up next mike
Yooo u are sharp! No Pun for finding this footage! U earned a like and subscribe! Keep up the great content! 🙏🏾
couldnt find the other one.. he didnt give any details bout the team or player but ya took me a minute
I’ll never forget when Chad tried to crackback Ray Lewis and got a concussion. Ray didn’t even know he was there. Just went through him like a tackling dummy. The nfl is different. ☠️
Thanks for putting these together!!
I loved how Chris Carter on the opposing side checked to see if Shannon was OK, very classy. Ocho's hit was vicious, his helmet came off he was lucky the ground didn't hurt his head even more, he should have gone to the hospital. Love the sport but it is violent.
In the 80s and 90s there were some incredible hits.
70’s too!
Great job researching and giving us the visual with the audio much appreciated.
Quarterback threw both of them out to dry
😂😂😂😂
I think that's the 💩tom brazy was complaining about
Classy move by Cris Carter: he was the first person out to check on Sharpe after that hit...that was a "this is a brotherhood" moment 👍
Great 👍🏾 job finding these!
great job finding these clips! i saw this playing on the feed and wanted to comment to say nice job
The Vikings just had it out for Unc and back then fools got hit for real.
The craziest part about Chad’s hit is the commentator didn’t even flinch 😂😂😂
Good work looking up those clips. Gives great context.
Thanks for the matching clips
great editing on finding the rare clips.
That's how hard they were hit that they forgot: It as not Orlando Thomas knee it was shoulder, and Ocho's ball was not high as well
Great edit !!
Appreciate your research. You’re awesome dude.
This was one of the best videos out together. Because he added the content in which we could see. Now if these hits happened now in the NFL players would be thrown out the game. They were getting tagged on that blind spot turn around
These guys were hit so hard that Shannon thought he was kneed in the head when he wasn’t, and Chad thought the ball was overthrown when it wasn’t.😂
It actually was overthrown.
Those were two awful hospital passes
Interesting to see Carter being one of the first guys out there to check on o'l Unc though....... #Classy👍🏿💯🏁
Great work with this video
Appreciate "Clasher Sports" for putting video to their audio.
Orlando Thomas was a serious hitter. Dude had a talent for putting receivers to sleep.
Good to see the videos of the hits
Good job I was hoping someone would put this together.
Chads was a bad play call you're up 24 points with less than 2 minutes just run the damn ball coach....
Facts
Brian Russell about to get some interviews from this
😭😭😭 it's crazy how he KO'd both Unc & Chad
Yea it is crazy, never expected that @@ClasherSports
Great video and editing bro!
Appreciate your research game on this!
i gained so much respect for ocho seeing that hit
It really bothers me seeing Chad like that at the end, goad he is alright.
Well researched!!
Great work
Sir u are the real MVP for digging up this footage. The league was different back then. Seeing these guys taking these hits over the course of X amount of yrs then retire n be a shell of themselves because of the wear n tear they took while playing is sad so im glad some of the rules implemented are for the players safety.
That Bryan Russell hit on Chad is as lethal a hit you'll ever see...
Props to you for finding the footage
Excellent video.
its crazy how they both didn't embellish their stories at all. they described it exactly how it went
Well except shannon said knee but hes just still concussed
And now you know why Jerry Rice is the GOAT. Not because he didn't get hit like this, but because he played through this era of football and still racked up numbers that will never be broken.
This was a great video
Ty for this video
At least the nfl players tell true stories unlike the nba players
Because there's no tackling in basketball you big dummy
Wow that was a scary interview. I wanna know did he drive home after the game? this is insane
thanks for taking the time dude
#1. Those hits were scary. Even those days they should have not stayedin the game both hits they were obviously KO'd on the field.
#2. I complained with this protocol stuff initially but realized for the sake of the players completely necessary.
#3. The first hit on Unc while scary its kind of amazing how Thomas laid that hit (it wasnt a knee) and still caught that INT. It's usually one or the other lay the hit to separate the ball or go for the INT he did both at he same time.
#4. These QBs really need to do more to protect these WRs sheesh.
Defenders are just too big and fast these days to allow the same kind of hitting they did up until the 80’s. If you allowed linebackers to hit QB’s the way the likes of Jack Lambert, Dick Butkus, etc did in their day, you wouldn’t have a single starting QB make it an entire season without significant time on the injury list.
Recovery is real in football. I remember my mom having to make hot salt baths for me in order to make it to class on Monday after Friday night lights. 😭
👌🏾💯🔥 great video
Great video
The announcers barely batted an eye at those hits. Today those are both absolutely targeting calls, first down for offense and one more would be an ejection for the defensive player. Shows how much the game has changed in 20 years
They clearly didn’t give a f. They still tried to interview CHAD while he’s concussed. That is wild 🤣 why would you interview a person with a concussion
@Dawgthem Ya but it was ignorance more than anything I think. The evidence was coming out slowly buy nobody realized people were ruining their lives with all these head hits. Now when I look back at videos of Ali in his old age it's enough to make you cry. Dudes brain was so bruised he could barely move or speak for the whole last chapter of his life
@@JohnSmith-tk7nt Ali had Parkinson's. Lots of boxers don't get it and it's not 100% clear that his boxing career caused it. Look at George Foreman, from Ali's era. Still doing fine.
Chad was in there drunk off of pain. Eyes swole and everything 😂 poor dude
Let him rest
WOW!!!!!
THIS IS A CHILLING VIDEO...THESE GUYS GI THROUGH A LOT....
Nice video 🙌🏾😊
Brian Russel is the hardest hitting safety ive ever seen to this day. It wasnt that he was dirty to be dirty he was just very physical and didnt pull punches. He reminded me of ray lewis as a safety physically.
(Cough)Sean Taylor
Sean Taylor for me
Trash dirty saftey like Ryan Clark
Big ups to Cris Carter for checking on the him.
Good job I like how you did that new sub here
That hitstick with the pick six is epic.
The 3rd hit on Shannon was definitely deserving of an unnecessary roughness penalty. The other two was how the game was played. These days the receivers can go over the middle or jump for balls with no fear. It also goes both ways bc both Shannon and Ocho had some devastating blindside blocks on defenders. I miss that football!
That hit on sharpe will STILL BE CLEAN TODAY💯💯 that’s a tremendous play !! For those confused, he clearly made a play on the ball there wasn’t any malicious intent there
That's one of the best defensive plays I've ever seen.
@@chadzard4 hands down !
They'd find a way to throw a flag on that play today even though it is clean
You sir just got a new subscriber
Bless CC for checking in on Sharpe. Thomas was a special player. ALS is messed up.
Chris Cart a God fearing man now thats love
Elway just ran off the field lmao
