Wow I love this! Bob Stein at 3:00 became the President of the Minnesota Timberwolves, was a lawyer and in 2009 heconceived and began the first class action lawsuit on behalf of retired NFL players against the NFL. His case, Dryer v. NFL, fought for fair payment for the NFL's use of player identities, including in NFL Films. He represents many past NFL players in concussion-related cases.
To this day, out of these All Americans, I've got Ron Yary, Ted Hendricks, and Larry Csonka on my Alltime Greatest NFL team, and they have a combined 10 Superbowl appearances between them. Cheers for the upload!
@@matthewbrotman2907 OJ is a tough one for me. Best REGULAR season RB I ever saw. But I don't think OJ or the Bills even won just one playoff game. And OJ had the ability to take a game over all by himself If he wanted to. Plus that double murder thing kinda wants me to look elsewhere for one of my all-time favorites.
Wish there were more of these to watch. Most of these guys only had a cup of coffee in the NFL. Johnson, Yary, O.J. & the Mad Stork were the stars of this group. Would like to know why Csonka was not there in person? Ted Hendricks looks so thin. Ted was a mathematical genius with trigonometry at Miami. A true Hall of Famer Colts, Packers & Raiders. 4 Super Bowl rings
Yary was undoubtedly the best offensive lineman in college football that year. He also played extremely well for the Minnesota Vikings. I remember watching him stop a pick six against the Rams during a Monday Night game. It turned out the Vikings made a goal line stand after that play that kept the Rams from scoring what should have been an easy touchdown. Yary was a true beast on the field.
Go to Bing Crosby introducing the 1963 Look All-America team, and see that two of Bob’s jokes here were recycled from that show. The lines about “enemy huddle” and “shaving commercials” were, well, shared among friends Bing and Bob.
You'd run funny too in those pencil legged slacks. There was an illustrated cartoon in Playboy back then about how the "Ivy League" styled suit wasn't practical, especially for athletically built men. I had a couple of pairs of those pants in '67-'68 made of hard wearing materials, rust colored corduroy and the other one in off white denim and I couldn't run very good in them. Can't imagine trying to run in them made out of 120's wool or cotton... RRRIIIPPP!!! They're probably trying not to split the seam out of the rear running down that incline.
OJ Simpson may have won the Heisman in 1967 except for Gary Beban who shared the stage . Leroy Keyes who was mentioned but not in sttendance was Simpson 's main competitor for the Heisman the following year , 1968 . I agree with the previous commentor that Ted Hendricks was the least likely looking football player in this group , but he was vicious !
I know there’s some future famous NFL stars in this group. I’d like pay homage to Granville Liggind who went on to star with my hometown Calgary Stampeders of the CFL “Granny” played a huge role in helping the Stamps capture the 1971 Grey Cup.
One of many good undersized US college players that came north to play in Canada. Jim Stillwagon (Toronto Argonauts), Tom Clements and Condredge Holloway were among others.
@@jamesanthony5681 Don't forget Mr. Sonny Wade of Emory and Henry College of Glade Spring, Virginia. He played QB for the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL from 1969-1977 and the Alouettes won three Great Cup championships while he played there. The Als' won in 1970, 1974, and 1977. A fine accomplishment for a "small no big name college" player.
Jason Maas went to the same high school I did. Yuma Union, the Criminals. He went to Canada and won 3 Grey Cups with Edmonton, in 2003, 2005, and 2012. He coached them too. He is a head coach with the Montreal Alouettes. Jason's father was a police officer, that was killed in the line of duty when Jason was 10 years old.
4:02 Tragically, Frank Loria had only two more Christmases after this one. After finishing his playing career in Blacksburg, he became an assistant coach at Marshall. He was on the ill-fated Southern Airways Flight 932 which crashed in West Virginia that fateful evening in November 1970, killing Loria and 74 others. Frank left behind his wife, Phyllis, and two very young children.
It is interesting to see these old Bob Hope specials to see if the college football players or the young Hollywood debutants would go on and have noted carrers.
How ironic would it have been if Bob Hope's joke for O.J.'s speed was something like, "He runs so fast, the police have been seen chasing him on the expressway."
What's interesting here is that OJ is a First team All-American, and he hasn't even taken a snap at USC, His first two years playing, college football, were in junior college.
Only three black players named to the team. This was back when most of the best black players still played for HBCU's. Claude Humphrey, Elvin Bethea, and Art Shell were all HBCU players who would go on to become NFL HOF'ers, not to mention HOF'ers Curly Culp and Charlie Sanders from power 5 conferences.
Yeah, I did think about that. I didn't want to play the race card 1967. I think most schools were predominantly white still. It's crazy seeing OJ & now we know what happened in 94

Johnny also resented Bob because he was the one guest who schedule himself to appear on The Tonight Show whenever he wanted and usually to promote his own specials. But give him credit.

You can't compare players from different eras, these guys were slower and "weaker" than modern players but the game was much tougher back then and i'm not so sure modern players would last long playing in the 60's 70's without getting constantly injured.
@@lwmson Total bull. Other than some very slight differences due to nutrition, there's not one bit of truth to what you said. I guess it is true that as a people we're fatter today and in far worse physical shape, so we are "bigger."

Even though he was the head coach, I believe Coach Frank Howard spent much of his time coaching the O line in that era.
