I'm a Bears fan & I remember him tackling our Qb. while the Qb laid motionless on the field Randle yelled "not going anywhere for awhile? Grab a Snickers bar"
@@retiredstalker I remember they had him mic'd up for Charlie Barch's first ever start. He harassed old Charlie something fierce. He just kept yelling "Charliiiiiiieeeeee.... Charliiiiieeeee"
What he said was so true- he couldn't pull off all the great trash talk if he didn't have game. He was so quick, and for his size, so strong. One of the best defensive tackle pass rushers of all time. He was fun to watch.
From humble beginnings, he fought his way to the upper echelons of the NFL. Undersized, he outplayed most of his peers and had a long career in the league. His play and his trash talking makes him a favorite of mine. Don't forget the face paint and the jean commercial with him chasing a chicken wearing a Favre jersey.
my dad is a big Vikes fan- used to love watching this guy.. personal favorite was when a young Charlie Batch came in off the bench and you can hear Jon the whole game "Charlieeeee.. oh Charlieeeee.. yoo hoo.. I'm coming for you hoooo" hahaha
I remember that as well it was 1998. It was also featured on the "Purple Pride Restored" yearbook video. He also called him "traitor" but I didn't get that part though. I never saw Charlie's response after the game, what did he say? John Randle was a bad ass! Cris is my all time favorite Viking, Randle is second.
I recorded that entire season on VCR and must have watched each game (minus the two losses) nearly two dozen times if not more. The Charlie chants... lol!
I miss him too. He was a great def end who played hard but not dirty. Was also the highest paid def end in NFL history. They made a doc about him. I highly recommend it, if you're a fan. A true rags to riches story. You should see the shack his family grew up in, holy shit. Momma be proud of her baby !!
The very best Randle line was left out..."Red rover, red rover, let those MF'ers come over!" I wish he was a Vikings DL coach just for the energy reasons alone.
John Randle!!! I loved watching him play, obviously I'm a Vikings fan and John was as funny as he was tough!!! he deserved to be in the n.f.l. hall of fame!!!
Dana Stubblefield was a DT for the 49ers who benefited mightily from playing beside Bryant Young. When Stubblefield got a FA deal with Washington, he was exposed as a limited player. Randle was just referencing that Gogan goes up against a scrub in practice, and couldn't handle someone of his caliber.
Man I miss this guy, from very humble beginnings all the way to the NFL HOF. I would watch the vikings just to see if John Randle said or did something extraordinary. A great player.
He kept escalating his shit talk, finally he's up to even messing with head coaches. That's boss level. I thought he was gonna move up to getting in the other teams GMs head. Then the owner. Even their owner was shook, getting flagged
You mean that the other way around right. In today's game the rules favor the lineman then back then. More holding, clippings, pushing that weren't called. Today those are things they watch for
John randle is one of the best man I bleed purple die hard Viking fan man I went to school one day somebody stole my John randle Jersey out of my f****** locker they going to reap what they sow I'm going to get me another one one of the coldest defensive players of all time wish he could have got a super bowl ring but he's definitely in the Hall of Fame Long live John Randall#93 Go vikes
The powers that be wanted 250lbs from him before they would even consider talking to him. He said he got to 244 and impatiently went. In the locker room, he looped a chain & padlock around his waist and hit the scales. Hidden under his sweats, he managed 251. haha. ..the rest is history. Look up his doc on here. It's sweet.
Zero Friends that’s when he was 21-22yrs old. Trust me by the time John was 28 through 33 he was every bit North of 275lbs.. his Muscle maturity set in, along with his efforts to gain weight started paying off in his late 20’s.. he’s basically the same size as James Harrison (5’11 1/2 285lbs) but John is an inch taller than James.. the same size as Aaron Donald (6’ 285lbs) but John is slightly taller.
If i ever drafted a fantsy d-line by all means i am having John Randle and John Henderson on the inside. They'd make offensive lineman shit their pants every snap.
Randle>T.O. as in greatest character in the trenches. Randle created havoc on opponents, but never teammates like T.O. did, and never craved attention, it was just Randle being Randle.
Does anyone remember when Randall got on all fours and doggie walked to the opposing team's logo at mid-field and lifted his leg like he was taking a leak?
"There's no rule in the nfl about trash talking" good ole days
Dude is more of a comedian than a trash talker..the stuff he says is hilarious.

The Mike Tyson of defensive lineman
Just look at the dirt on his jersey compared to all other players, putting in work!!!
"regulators, mount up" not a vikings fan but man this guy was something else. I miss the good ole days of football.
John Randle: The most "viking" Viking to play the game.
What he said was so true- he couldn't pull off all the great trash talk if he didn't have game. He was so quick, and for his size, so strong. One of the best defensive tackle pass rushers of all time. He was fun to watch.
REGULATORS! MOUNT UP! WE'RE COMING!
I love that one! "You can't talk to me dog?"
😂😂🤣
One of the most entertaining players to ever play. Imagine him and Rivers going back and forth with each other
2:01
“ YEAH PUNK BITCH! YEA PUNK BITCH “

All the GREAT players the Vikings have had in their long history, and they've never won a Super Bowl. It's like a crime.
they will soon enough.

He was a defensive tackle
Russell Brooker 3-4 defensive end which is really a DT. Kinda like Aaron Donald
4-3 tackle
Vikings were not playing a 3-4
@@jesuschrist912 Vikings played 4 3 his whole career. That being said he lined up in all 4 spots at one point or another. But he was true d tackle.
At his size to do what he did is amazing
John Randall and Kevin Gogan going at it classic
He was awesome and crazy! We need people like this to shake things up!
John Randle was a beast when he played. Now he's what you call savage.
my all time fave viking..miss his trash talking
The great John Randle, strmoaight up man child out their on the field, so glad he made it to the HOF. I miss hearing him barking out on the field.
NIGHTRIDER!!! nightrider...
So wish the vikess could have gotten a ring for him in 98
As a Giants fan.. i already knew we lost when they played the vikings. He was alot of fun to watch vs other teams lol
back when the nfl was fun... they still talk trash but now refs listen and have to calm down people so dumb.
LMAOO!!@2:25 He said, "I aint no f*ckin Dana Stubblefield"!! LMAOO!! Dana was wack!!
Dana wasn't WACK homie, you must be smoking Crack
The very best Randle line was left out..."Red rover, red rover, let those MF'ers come over!" I wish he was a Vikings DL coach just for the energy reasons alone.
This guy has so much energy!
That NFL Network show "A Football Life" did a great job on John Randle
NFL Films sound guys wish he was still playing just so they could mic him up some more. The Undisputed Trash Talking Champion in NFL history
Also the heart and soul of those teams.
No doubt one of the best defensive players ever imo
one of the greatest of all time. especially being undersized and undrafted.
I can’t get no love Barry?
John Randle!!! I loved watching him play, obviously I'm a Vikings fan and John was as funny as he was tough!!! he deserved to be in the n.f.l. hall of fame!!!
Grew up watching him play in Minnesota. Great player. Great entertainer. Thank you for making the game fun and the memories
I swear i act like this guy on the chef line. I wish i didnt tear my Acl i would have watch film on this guy and learned his technique.
This man is hilarious in the field
6:10 is my favorite nfl mic’d up moment of all time
He'll be featured on A Football Life, NFL Network, 12/15/17. Can't wait to see it.
John Randall is my favorite player and I'm a Rams fan
Amazing player!! I wish we had another one like hi.

Randle had the 2022 jerseys back in 92
That 98 viking team he was on should've went to the super bowl and gave Denver hell and won it!
He kept escalating his shit talk, finally he's up to even messing with head coaches. That's boss level. I thought he was gonna move up to getting in the other teams GMs head. Then the owner. Even their owner was shook, getting flagged
John Randle is THE ONLY guy I would compare to Aaron Donald!
You mean that the other way around right. In today's game the rules favor the lineman then back then. More holding, clippings, pushing that weren't called. Today those are things they watch for
Until Donald breaks John's record for most sacks by a DT you have to compare AD to JR not the other way around lol
2 Tone Udon: Touché 👍🏿
@@Bigload992G Donald is a beast and has a good shot at that record tho only time will tell
2 Tone Udon: Yup👍🏿. JR is a Savage! Best Pass Rushing 3 Tech. And AD is the New version🤙🏾
My old man met him at a cigar bar about a year ago and said he was one of the coolest guys to talk with. Very jealous!

Still A Better Trash talker than Packers or Cowboys fans

HOF....a monster in the DL
Awesome player
good man. old school.
who is this my name is Dennis Randle
I love John Randell 😊 he's a beast 👏
He was one bad dude. Fun to watch
there goes my hero
Do you remember when Johnny boy got into Trent Dilfer's head? Dilfer went after Randle and got ejected.
Yeah lol Dilfer literally jumped on him and did an elbow smash to his back and was then ejected!
I came here to see why they are comparing Ed Oliver to Randle, but I think Oliver has a lot of work to do.
I still have 1 of his jerseys..I found it at a thrift store when I was 12
That ref was like How you doin?
Haha... He The Man
REGULATERS mount up we’re coming
SKOL!
*Randle would kill someone in this pussified NFL today hitting the QBs lol*
Dark Hollywood Dark Hollywood
Today's game refs would've penalized him for 80% of those hits in this video 😆
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 Facts 😂
That's what 6'1 280lbs should look, & play like! #93 was the absolute Truth

Guy Incognito : Even better if he played with Chris Doleman
Throw in Kevin green and I swear it'd be over
KNIGHT RIDAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂NICE
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If i ever drafted a fantsy d-line by all means i am having John Randle and John Henderson on the inside. They'd make offensive lineman shit their pants every snap.
Thomas Zajc ; John Randle an Aaron Donald or Joe Greene an Merlin Olsen
Real life cole train = John randle
Imagine if Doleman hadn't been traded to the Falcons in 1995
It’s weird seeing TO so young and quiet
Cause he didn't with those problems with big john randle
One of the greatest of all time, sure wish he had been a cowboy!
Lol……..Mr Randle can talk some mf trash on the football field
People today couldn’t fathom how hard the game was played back then. Cupcake league now days
