I was a little kid during this era. Guys like The Boz and Bo were literal super heroes. There were no highlights back in the day like today.

He had a great mind for marketing, that’s for sure. Apparently they sold 10,000 anti Boz shirts at $15 a pop for that game, and Boz donated all the proceeds to a children’s hospital. So despite a disappointing NFL career, it seems like Bosworth is a good guy whose heart is in the right place, and that’s what’s important in life
That is an old marketing move you can thank who invented it which was Elvis Presley's manager Colonel Tom Parker. He would go to Elvis's concerts and see all the dudes be really upset and look like they hate Elvis Presley because Elvis was taking their girlfriends. So he started selling I hate Elvis Presley merchandise did a pimps move indeed in my opinion
Brian Bosworth quote "No athlete is an athlete with the intention of being a bust, I have more metal in me than the Terminator." The man was derailed by injuries, when healthy the Boz was a BEAST. It was very unfair how his pro ball career went down...
@@shadhord9502 and yet they both barely lasted 4 seasons. Boz had the roids = 3 years & Bo had the natural = 4 seasons WHOAAAAA HUUUUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!! It didn't matter lol both bodies broke down. Get off your high naive horse already 🐎
To clarify as an Oklahoma fan, The Boz is still loved in Norman and by Oklahoma Sooner fans. He regularly appears on campus during home games and shows up at events dealing with the football team or just Oklahoma Athletics in general.
The 30 for 30 revealed that ta doctor gave Bozworth an injection during his FINAL year and that is the only time he ever had "steroids" in his system😎🥸 The show also showed how the racism and mean spirited side of Bozworths black teammates. Bozworth was an amazing natural athlete
Boz truly is a product of the 80s. I grew up in those days and in a time where you got three channels over the air and maybe Sporting News or Sports Illustrated in the mail...he was everywhere. Almost as much as Phil Collins, who also only could have been huge in the 80s. He definitely seems like a man who grew up, got rid of that persona and became a stand up human. And as a Bronco hater in the 80s, I do love how he played the fans and got John Elway all bent out of shape.
If Boz wasn't playing on astroturf, he probably would have had a nice 7 year NFL career. Sadly the Seahawks played on that in the Kingdome plus at Arrowhead for the Chiefs until after the 1993 season. So that's 10 games minimum. I am not saying he was going to be a all pro, but he could of have a nice career. At least we can see him as the sheriff in the Dr. Pepper Fansville commercials.
I put out a video on my channel about the kingdome and it was interesting to see how many players hated it. It even affected the career of baseball player Ken Griffey Jr
Good video. Thanks for sharing. I was 15 in 1986 and I had a Boz cut. He was not a bust. He was probably the best LB in college football history. He played well in the pros. His body just gave out. FTR, Bo didn't run over Boz, he pulled him in. Mike Singletary couldn't have stopped Bo on that play.
Started playing football at 10 yrs old in 1983 in Norman OK. To say the Boz was an influence is an understatement. Good times for me and the university of Oklahoma.
For a kid growing up in the 80’s, I can tell you The Boz and The Rocket Ismail defined my love for college football. Such excitement tuning into games back in the day when only a few games/week were actually televised nationally. And those 80’s Miami teams that everybody loved to hate. An awesome era in college football when a guy would normally stay for 4 years and dominate year after year. And the excitement of New Years Day when there were about 87 bowl games. A lot of us have a lot of core memories from that time.
If getting run over by Bo makes you a bust. Then almost every defensive player in the 80’s is a bust. The dude was a beast. Injuries cut his career short. Healthy. He was a great. And as a kid growing up in the 80’s, he was one of the superheroes.
@@Uhtred-the-bold i agree. he made a nice tackle on bo. with someone as powereful as bo your not going to drop him in his tracks when he running at you and your relatviley stationary. I don't get where the BS came from that boz got ran over. he did not.
@@marcespinoza6068 haha - good ol high school days, getting baked and playing tecmo. Bo was awesome - players just bounced off him - as well as Montana to Rice.
The first OU game I went to was Nebraska in 1985. I lived about 30-45 minutes away from Norman. The next Monday we went back to Norman to the mall because I wanted a 44 jersey and in my mind one that came from Norman was real but one from Oklahoma City wasn’t. At the mall I saw The Boz. I was in awe and waved at him. Dude came over and talked to me for about ten minutes. No reason for him to do that other than he knew who he was and what he meant to kids in the area. Guy was two different people, the Boz was bigger than life and in your face. Brian was just a good guy living life in the shadow of his alter-ego. National Communists Against Athletes
Im a Texan and couldnt believe he chose Oklahoma. I became one of his biggest fans. I played defense in highschool. Never cared much for offense. Lawerence Taylor was in the league at that time. Boz scored a big contract and played well until he couldn't. We are still the cool kids GenX Forever!!
17:20 Damn shoulders... Also, this guy's ability to play a different and flamboyant character in media appearances makes me think he could've been a star in the late Golden Era of WWF (now WWE).
A self adoring icon with a big mouth, who happened to be one of the best ever at the position he played. He was even more over the top as an athlete and competitor on the field. A healthy Bosworth was as good or better than any Pro Football Hall Of Fame middle linebacker. The way he covered the field and seemed to be in on virtually ever tackle. Even in defeat at Miami in 1986 he looked like the MVP of the game, with arguably the best performance by a middle linebacker ever in the history of college football. Unfortunately for his pro career, his shoulders didn't age well.
Not true. There were lot's of guys doing it back then. Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, Magic Jackson, etc. There were tons. The difference is EVERYBODY does it today.
If anyone makes the Pros and plays and gets movie deals and all that later to live on after playing he's Awesome Sauce! The Boz was a Legend and Stone Cold was bada$$ movie too
Boz came up at the Perfect time in the 80s. Him and Bo were super heros. One nitpick, that snippet of Arnold was from T2 in the 90s, use Arnold from Predator ‘87 😎 “If it bleeds, we can kill it”

I learned about Brian Bosworth from a 30 for 30 about The University of Miami ( Fl) part 1, now I have to see the 30 for 30 about Brian and The Boz. Thanks for telling me KTO, you rock!
It's strange Seattle was on his don't pick me list. They were pretty good at that time. They had missed the playoffs that year, but they had a 10-6 record. They were just in a tough division. Now if this was the 90's Seahawks, I'd get it.
I don't personally consider the boz a bust, dude has serious injuries in the shoulders and joints, you won't ever play the same even after surgery back then, if he was healthy I think he would have a decent/ good NFL career
Yeah he did an interview with his old coach Barry Switzer last year and he said he's had over 30 surgeries on that one shoulder. It's given him hell most of his adult life.
@doyouevendab77 Name, Image, and Likeness. Basically, let's college athletes sign stuff like sponsorship deals and do stuff like TV and radio advertising.
13:17 I mean he's not that wrong with t-shirt. I don't know about russian comunist, which the USSR was still around at that time, but the ncaa had a really strangle hold on the athletes with rules like a communist nation because of the whole "amateurism" thing even thought the athletes made the ncaa and their schools a lot of money and saw none of it for the most part.
Had he stayed healthy, I've always believed that the Boz would've been a near-great linebacker. He had real flashes of that kind of potential. It was just the injuries that held him back.
I was & still am a huge Boz fan had the Boz cut & everything back in the day in all actuality to label him a bust is imo unjust he was pretty productive his rookie season he just couldn't stay on the field consistently due to his injuries.
I saw that Monday night game live. I was hoping Bosworth would shut up raider fan, I think the raiders had a 3 game losing streak at the time. But it didn’t work out that way. I hate the raiders.
I'm a Seahawks fan have been my entire life. I can tell you I do not consider Bosworth a bust. Chuck Knox changed his position caused him to start making a bunch of arm tackles and caused an injury that he couldn't recover from . When he was on the field he was dominant
Me to I’m very glad I’m not the only one that would have been weird lol like what the hell was I thinking lol I guess some time certain people can trick you like that but you never know 😅
I Met Lydell Carr In '98. Great Guy, Great FB (Averaged 7.5 yds Per Carry). Keith Jackson (Underrated TE)...Spencer Tillman (Speedy RB)...Darrell Reed (Underrated OLB)...Dante Jones (STUD)...Jamelle Holloway (Wishbone Master QB) And "THE BOZ" 👊🏿!! The Real Gift That Brian Bosworth Had Were The Wheels...HE COULD RUN!! "REALLY REALLY RUN" As A "Mike Backer" 👌🏿.
Main thing I remember about the Boz documentary is I think the doctors mentioning to him that he had the shoulders of a 55 year old, or something like that. Like DAMN.
I lived in Seattle during Bozworth’s rookie year. You could not go a day without hearing SOMETHING about Brian Bosworth. It eventually got nauseating. He said he didn’t care what anyone thought of his hair but talked about it constantly. I was already tired of him before the season even started. But I later realized that football is entertainment and he played it to the fullest.
I was a 16 yo Hurricane fan, when he came to the OB. Boz was the REAL DEAL. Dude won the first two Butkus Trophies. He wasn’t a bust. I don’t care how good you are…if you shoulder problems, especially as a LB’er, you’re not gonna have a long career. He was an absolute Beast!
Brian was the prototypical NFL linebacker great size and speed with good lateral movement but the injuries were a killer! For a linebacker shoulder injuries are a big thing and extremely difficult to overcome! He also got way too caught up in his image instead of focusing on his job! A typical case of putting the cart before the court! The image made him a target and he talked smack when he should have been focusing on playing football!
Now that we have NIL, it really shows how ahead of his time he was. He's a pioneer to the notion that college players should br making money off their play and image.
Not just with the Boz but i think we should exempt those with injury issues from being labeled busts. Unless it was just not taking care of themselves they didn’t have control on it and it just sucked that it worked out that way but it wasn’t cause they weren’t good enough
Greatest college LB I've ever seen on the field. He gave everything to OU. So much irony. Actually, a true picture of human devotion and conceit. His DEVOTION LIVES!
Honeslty Brian Boz gets respect from me. He owned up to his mistakes and most 18 to 20 somethings would probably let there heads run away with them following such massive fame.
Just imagine how much money THE BOZ would have made if he played right now. With Social Media and the NIL?……He made the university so much money back then…..Just like the FAB 5 in Michigan. Those guys deserved more than just an “education.”
The Miami Hurricane fans rode him hard in that game but still came away with a quiet aside "whew he's freakin' great" respect. Boz had an astounding 22 tackles. He was all over the field. Not only tough but super fast. Never have I seen or heard of that number matched by anyone, college or pro. And it was a huge game with tremendous ratings. Hate it that virtually all my favorite players had short pro careers. Tebow. Johnny Football. The Boz. Even Big Bird in baseball if anyone remembers him? Joe Namath's was relatively short by Tom Brady standards. Less than half of Brady's historic career. Magic Johnson was essentially forced out early. Jim Brown went for Hollywood cash with a ton of mileage left in the era of lower pay for NFL stars.
My 8-year-old brain exploded when the Seahawks drafted the Boz. I couldn't get my parents to give me the haircut. I was really looking forward to him playing a long career and was very sad when he couldn't play any more. He was a hero to budding football fans.
I was a little kid during this era. Guys like The Boz and Bo were literal super heroes. There were no highlights back in the day like today. Everything was word of mouth like, "Did you hear what _____ did?".... They became legends in our minds. Even if they weren't always truly legends on the field!
In my forever opinion no matter how short of a career it was Bo was the truth and he knew smth we didnt
Bo Jackson was everything the legends said he was. If he hadn't broken his hip, no one would argue that he's the greatest athlete of all time

Dude was an amazing college football player.
I was the person that retouched the "land of Boz" poster from Costacos Bros. Never forget, before Photoshop came out, computer retouched.
Great vid - never knew about this player - even tho it was way before my time I found this story really interesting
I Met Lydell Carr In '98. Great Guy, Great FB (Averaged 7.5 yds Per Carry). Keith Jackson (Underrated TE)...Spencer Tillman (Speedy RB)...Darrell Reed (Underrated OLB)...Dante Jones (STUD)...Jamelle Holloway (Wishbone Master QB) And "THE BOZ" 👊🏿!!
The Real Gift That Brian Bosworth Had Were The Wheels...HE COULD RUN!! "REALLY REALLY RUN" As A "Mike Backer" 👌🏿.
I love how a bad season for Oklahoma is 8-4 😂 Just shows what kind of program that place is.
Always an instant click. Good to see you man.
Main thing I remember about the Boz documentary is I think the doctors mentioning to him that he had the shoulders of a 55 year old, or something like that. Like DAMN.
For all his antics Boz has been successful in life. He has a decent net worth.
Bozworth needed to realize it wasn't any shame to be bested by Bo Jackson. I don't think he ever got over the shame of that
KTO doing the Boz. I waited for this moment.
Boz is the sheriff of fansville!
I lived in Seattle during Bozworth’s rookie year. You could not go a day without hearing SOMETHING about Brian Bosworth. It eventually got nauseating. He said he didn’t care what anyone thought of his hair but talked about it constantly. I was already tired of him before the season even started.
But I later realized that football is entertainment and he played it to the fullest.
That was back before Seattle turned hard left and weird
I was a 16 yo Hurricane fan, when he came to the OB. Boz was the REAL DEAL. Dude won the first two Butkus Trophies. He wasn’t a bust. I don’t care how good you are…if you shoulder problems, especially as a LB’er, you’re not gonna have a long career. He was an absolute Beast!
Can't call him a bust. Injury detailed his career.
Brian was the prototypical NFL linebacker great size and speed with good lateral movement but the injuries were a killer! For a linebacker shoulder injuries are a big thing and extremely difficult to overcome! He also got way too caught up in his image instead of focusing on his job! A typical case of putting the cart before the court! The image made him a target and he talked smack when he should have been focusing on playing football!
Thought this was about Joe Namath or Neon Dion from the title.
Now that we have NIL, it really shows how ahead of his time he was. He's a pioneer to the notion that college players should br making money off their play and image.
18:34 boy I miss those plates
Boz scared a dude so bad he fell down and didn’t even touch him that’s wild
Early astroturf was akin to concrete & ruined many in Boz’s generation
Not just with the Boz but i think we should exempt those with injury issues from being labeled busts. Unless it was just not taking care of themselves they didn’t have control on it and it just sucked that it worked out that way but it wasn’t cause they weren’t good enough
Greatest college LB I've ever seen on the field. He gave everything to OU. So much irony. Actually, a true picture of human devotion and conceit. His DEVOTION LIVES!
He was so 80s that his career ended as soon as the decade did
Honeslty Brian Boz gets respect from me. He owned up to his mistakes and most 18 to 20 somethings would probably let there heads run away with them following such massive fame.
Just imagine how much money THE BOZ would have made if he played right now. With Social Media and the NIL?……He made the university so much money back then…..Just like the FAB 5 in Michigan. Those guys deserved more than just an “education.”
The Miami Hurricane fans rode him hard in that game but still came away with a quiet aside "whew he's freakin' great" respect. Boz had an astounding 22 tackles. He was all over the field. Not only tough but super fast. Never have I seen or heard of that number matched by anyone, college or pro. And it was a huge game with tremendous ratings.
Hate it that virtually all my favorite players had short pro careers. Tebow. Johnny Football. The Boz. Even Big Bird in baseball if anyone remembers him? Joe Namath's was relatively short by Tom Brady standards. Less than half of Brady's historic career. Magic Johnson was essentially forced out early. Jim Brown went for Hollywood cash with a ton of mileage left in the era of lower pay for NFL stars.
Barry Sanders.
Let’s hope Danny Stustman doesn’t become like this cause bro is a demon when he’s healthy
He wasn't a bust. He was magnificent. It was just for a very short time. He was there though. Where the rare air is.
The Era of 80's football in high-school was different
My 8-year-old brain exploded when the Seahawks drafted the Boz. I couldn't get my parents to give me the haircut. I was really looking forward to him playing a long career and was very sad when he couldn't play any more. He was a hero to budding football fans.
