Great recap! Just came across your vault of videos and am loving them. My rookie year as a receiver with the Chargers was the same year David was brought in...so many interesting moments with him...especially after I bought one of his cars from him midway through the season! It's been really interesting watching your videos of guys I've played with because, at the time, I had no idea about their pasts or what they may be have been going through. As an undrafted free agent I was solely. focused on fighting my way up that slippery NFL ladder. Anyway, just wanted to drop a note of thanks and appreciation. Your ability to tell these stories in a way that is both engaging, detail oriented, and unbiased is refreshing. Keep doing your thing! All the best.
Bro can you give us some stories about David? Was he absolutely humongous? Did he ever eat in front of you guys or always in his room with his trainer? The nipple piercings got me man 🤣
Bro this is crazy I remember meeting him at chargers training camp when I was a kid and I couldn’t believe how big this dude was. He looked like a Greek god as a receiver lol
I swear RUclips is hacking our brains. I just had a "what a happened to David Boston" convo with a friend at work. Two days later I'm recommended this video.
I went to HS with David. He’s always been into the weight room...Bc he liked the attention it brought from the women here in Houston. He actually liked workin out more than football itself. As we get older, we do get heavier. With or without roids. But for him to gain weight...isn’t really a shocker knowing how much time we spend in the gym. Shit, he owns a gym in Humble TODAY. It’s just what we grew up loving to do.
Exactly, the drugs weren't the problem its the way he was working out. He was training like a bodybuilder instead of an athlete. Him taking drugs was smart.
The pictures are of heavyweight champ Jersey Joe Walcott, but he's talking about Barbados Joe Walcott. They're 2 different people separated by about 30 years.
Exactly he really threw me with the height and weight you could clearly see he was much taller and heavier. Before you make a video you really need to do your homework. Very bad business.
Flemlo, this is one of your best pieces. I remember all of this, from his College Career to the Pros. I always wondered what the underlying issues were. You provided excellent insight into what really happened. Thanks again, you kill it. ESPN should give you a show because you're an Educator more than anything else.
He could’ve have been suffering from PTSD from the wreck. The sudden realization that life is fragile made him overcompensate for his fears by trying to be unbreakable physically. Tragic really.
Great doc. I was there for it all. I remember my brother and I would edit his arms in Madden to make them match his actual body size. I also remember that year he gained the extra 30lbs. He was insanely huge. I remember saying to myself, he's gotta be juicing.
Great story I just saw David a couple months ago in humble he’s doing well he’s not jacked like he use to be which is is a good sign hope he keeps doing well.
You can tell by the way his abs looked. That's another indicator of hgh use. Look at people like jon Jones or chael sonnen. They have the same abs as a result from hgh. Looking at the abs is the easiest way to tell if someone has used it to get in a better shape
@@emilegriffith1473 no way. Chael and jon used every ped possible. They have even admitted to doing so. Jon has the exact same lower abs as someone that does peds. Just because they did use them doesn't mean they still do. You can't say chael sonnen or jon Jones never used peds.
As an athlete who’s been way down motivationally due to personal circumstances/issues, I appreciate your presentation of pro athletes struggles and the way you hype them up even if they fall. You’ve got this wicked mentality I wish every day to regain. New sub Liking every video
Damn bro you read my mind. I was just thinking “what happened to David Boston” last week. I used to have to change his character model on Madden. They always made him too small lol.
favorite sports reporter/biographer ever!! Dude you are so much better than anyone at espn. There is NO comparison. Keep up the absolute stellar work!!!! This was so interesting, like I do not think you understand how good this is!!
I'm fairly new to you channel, in fact, this is my second or third video - I have to say, I wouldn't consider myself a sports fan, but I can't get enough of these stories and your narration, it all really great! I just wanted to say that.

@@welbyncastro9169 "Joe Walcott" is not the same person as "Jersey Joe Walcott". Joe Walcott was born in Barbados in 1873, and was the welterweight champion from 1901 to 1906. Jersey Joe Walcott, whose given name was Arnold Cream, was born in 1914 and was the heavyweight champion from 1951 to 1952. Jersey Joe took his ring name from the original Joe Walcott, whom he greatly admired.
@@301.allday He's actually in the K-State Staff, working with new player and quarterbacks. Coach Klineman has him on staff. It's a good thing. Theres some vids on youtube of the Klineman hire and Colin Klien is interviewed. I think he'll end up coaching but this year he was a K-State assistant/staff dude I think. (Coulda used him against Navy, lol)
Klein never had that prototypical arm angle or throwing motion. Fast forward 8 yrs and he may have had a chance considering how Lamar is being used. Klein will be a head coach somewhere in 5yrs.
A lot of people don't know that David's father (Byron Boston) was an NFL reff (line judge) . He actually made the no touchdown call when Air McNair completed a pass on the last play of the super bowl and the receiver tried to stretch the ball across. I think that Superbowl was in Tampa Fla. My Mom was friends with his dad and He was a great guy. David came from a great family.
I had the pleasure to meet David when he played with cardinals. When my brother In law Rob blew his knee out David really flourished. Rob always thought david was using something because his recovery time was insane.
Someone crashed into his car so hard they died in front of him. We May be downplaying the effect that had on him too. He probly got addicted to feeling strong because he never wanted to feel that powerless again.
I had a guy who broke my leg (Tibia/Fibia with a baseball bat) and after I laid on the ground and pleaded to live he held the bat above my head ready to crush my head in. Luckily a friend of mine came and grabbed the bat and saved my life. I made a full recovery but did suffer compounded trauma much like what happened to David Boston. It definitely made me want to become stronger (I packed on 40lbs of muscle) and definitely effected my view on society and how I valued life. Having a near death experience does change you for sure.
@M W at least 50% of the NFL, and elite athletes in most professional sports, are on performance enhancing drugs. DK shows many of the common juicing signs and pretty much anyone with moderate understanding of body building will tell you he's using PEDs.
M W what? Just know you’d have to be delusional or ignorant to think someone can achieve that naturally without extreme bulking and cutting cycles over many years. It’s pretty much common knowledge that most elite athletes are taking PEDs.
You've got some of the most measured and amazing videos I've seen on RUclips, or anywhere else, ever. Your videos on guys who are now considered "busts" or "has-beens" are mind-blowing. I know it's not the hardest thing in the world to curate this info, but the fact you do it and post these videos is something absolutely entertaining and mind-blowing. You do a GREAT job and I hope you continue to do these until your voice gives out! Thanks for these. I'm in my mid-30s and so many of these videos help me remember a lot of things I lived at the time, but also provide additional info that I didn't realize. I don't remember the car accident with Boston, but I do remember that the guy seemed so roided up that he couldn't play a whole season without a ligament or tendon injury, something along those lines (those are popular roid injuries, the body not being able to keep up with unnatural muscle growth). Keep doing what you're doing, I LOVE these videos. And clearly, millions of other people love them as well!
Telling facts as far as he knows them at least. I agree with your comment wholeheartedly and the content FlemLo put in his videos really does rival that of ESPN, MSM or other RUclipsrs that cover the same formats. In fact, FlemLos content is on par with ESPN's 30 for 30 series. That says a lot about someone that doesn't have millions of dollars to make content others of channels have to make their stories. I hope FlemLo sticks to what he's doing with this channel because one day he will be a successful producer of entrainment videos.
this man tells the best stories, saw his channel first a few weeks ago and he’s def one of my favorite youtubers now, he does an amazing job!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As a fight fan, I've gotta ask you to specify which Joe Walcott. I'm sure you're talking about Barbados but Jersey Joe is one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport.
This is quality content!! You have to be more than a casual Sunday fan of football to remember David Boston. And this video does a great job of explaining it all!! Subbed.
@@misterken03, when I first moved to Houston, I quickly learned things are not pronounced like one would think. Kuykendahl, Bissonet, Fuqua, Pearland and of course Humble and a few others that I'm sure I'm forgetting. Very hard to get around as a newbie when you didn't understand a damned thing after trying to search for these places on a map.
You have a picture of “Jersey “Joe Walcott who was a 6ft tall heavyweight boxer. I think you’re referring to “Barbados” Joe Walcott who was a Welterweight boxer.
A few things.. 1. Good Video FlemLo. 2... the IV's were used after practice and workouts to replenish his body with what it had lost/get his levels back for recovery. . (illegal or was in the NFL). I believe you were onto something about the wreck. David most likely started taking Testosterone and or something like Deca/gh to help his joints/recovery but because they worked so well, he never stopped probably. He was an elite athlete and thus even a really low dose like 150-300mg probably did wonders. Your levels can also be manipulated and he most likely knew when he would be tested hence he got by when tested. Test for designer drugs are expensive and or very specific so he most likely was never tested for those. (Also expensive and I'd think the NFLPA also had a say on those teat). His face changing is a side of PEDs esp of using things like Test/Deca. (Water retention in many cases) The jaw line thing is most likely non sense since he wasnt prob taking enough GH year round for years to do any growing.. (2-6iu daily isnt doing that and he is teated for GH I believe). Lastly, GHB is used by bodybuilders to help sleep since the drugs raise your heart rate and body temp. David was a party dude at times so it could also be recreational. He wasnt using GHB as a subsititute for growth. Not how that works. I was a huge David Boston fan but yes PEDs are addictive and his weight caused more injuries most likely. You can only be so big and put pressure on the joints for so long. In the end. ..Once you take PEDS and feel like Superman you no longer want to be Clark Kent. 😂✌ 👍
He also got the beginning part about Jersey Joe Walcott wrong. He was born in 1914, 13 years before FlemLo says he started boxing. Still a great vid tho.
Facts speaking from personal experience.. i did a trenbalone and test cycle. I put on 30 pounds(about 20 was muscle) .. my libido was through the roof and i was fucking bitches like a porn star and my 🍆 grew a bit too from the blood flow it was crazy addictive.. but my temper was through the roof lost my job for fighting and got locked up.. theres always a trade off to any foreign compounds you out in your body.. it was definitely addictive tho!!
Ghb is so dangerous too. So dumb. Wouldnt recommend it. If someone wants to use drugs I'd say use a little test as a base and run another anabolic or two along with it. After that point you run into problems.
Hey man love the channel one of my favorite people to listen to no David and his family personally good people he play football with my older brother Chuck Anderson and this was a pretty revealing an awesome documentary you did awesome and Humble Texas the H is silent cool to see our little town on this huge platform super fan keep the videos coming.
I'm a lifelong Buckeye homer and watched pretty much every game of Boston's college career. The thing I remember the most about his NFL career was the first time my buddies and I watched a Cardinals game i.. We all looked at each other like "WTF?". It was so obvious he was juiced out of his mind.
Jersey Joe Walcott was born in 1914. In addition to this, he was 6'0" tall and reigned as Heavyweight Champion from 1951-1952. This is why it's so important to research credible sources.
Man, I'm a Cardinal fan and David Boston was awesome at first. It sucked to watch his personality change as he got jacked and then his play began to suffer. I remember one game where he beat a DB for a TD and turned and taunted him as he went into the endzone. We were getting killed, so I it was like what are you doing? His old man, who used to be an NFL game official called him out over his behavior if I remember correctly. I wasn't surprised when he blew his patella out -- you add a bunch of muscle your body isn't built to handle and shit starts snapping. So much talent and possibility -- it was a shame.
His 70 catch, 880 yard season was in San Diego... he only ever played 5 games for Miami and didn't do anything. He also took at swing at Dave Redding which is what prompted his exit. Didn't connect but went full roid rage and wanted Dave to take it out to the parking lot after they got separated, screaming "let's settle this on the concrete"... Dude was way bigger than he was listed as being. I used to go to Charger minicamps and camps, dude dwarfed literally every player and was absolutely shredded. He was 260lbs for sure, and ripped. Legitimately talented and if he could've kept his shit in check he'd have been Andre Johnson before Andre Johnson but he dialed it up to 11 and went wild.
Hey bro, btw, that’s Jersey Joe Walcott heavyweight champ in the 50’s, the guy you talking about is Barbados Joe Walcott, lightweight and welterweight. Easily confused though, Jersey Joe copied the name from Barbados Joe
When you're a football player, the weight room is supposed to be a facilitator to movement. Brock Lesnar is the perfect example of how being too jacked deters you from making sudden athletic movements that football requires. That's why you don't see mainstream bodybuilders play sports outside of the weight room unless you're in Sports Entertainment.
Your logic fails when Lesnar rushes you and hammer fists you into the ground in seconds...using his size, weight, reach, and strength to overwhelm your logic immediately LMFAO
@@thedon5533 Thank you!! Brock had to lose 30 pounds to become a solid MMA fighter. His WWE weight of 295 wasn't working and he saw that during his first UFC fight. Otherwise he'd still be playing for the Vikings and winning convincingly in UFC.
@@Snarf_Le_Wombat I respectfully disagree because Brock Lesnar had a record of 5-3 with 1 No Contest in MMA. His WWE record doesn't count because its a work and scripted, and my logic is valid because he tried out for the Vikings and didn't make the team. If your concept was valid, many Mr Olympia hopefuls would be playing football for the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Browns during their time away from bodybuilding competition season with NFL scouts hanging around the Arnold Classic. Mike Mamula is another example of a workout warrior who played at Boston College lived in the weight room, but didn't produce squat when he played for the Eagles in the 90's. Workout Tarzans, Gridiron Janes.
Mamula played like a decent 3rd\4th round pick, just his insane workout numbers boosted him to the 1st round. Don't hate on him he was the first guy to go off and train for those drills solid for 2-3 months or so.
David played on an amazingly good Highschool football team at Humble highschool. I know at least 3 guys went to the NFL, maybe more. Including David Givens who won Superbowl rings with the patriots.
Well he would’ve almost instantly become an acne infested insomniac with mood swings followed soon after by obliterated testicles, and weakened bones with man boobs. I’d be weary of that.
Man I remember David Boston.. He was like another T.O. I always wonder what happened to him. Dude was an exiting player to watch and an all pro then he just disappeared.
Every video is extremely well done. Your writing and delivery is ESPN ready, if not better. Don't know your background, but you should start submitting editorials to popular websites, They could effectively build their sports content around your syndicated editorials. I think you'd have to talk about broader sports topics, in addition to player profiles, but your style is thoughtful and entertaining and would easily work in that format. Bengals fan here too, so blessings. Rock out.

Klein never had that prototypical arm angle or throwing motion. Fast forward 8 yrs and he may have had a chance considering how Lamar is being used. Klein will be a head coach somewhere in 5yrs.
A lot of people don't know that David's father (Byron Boston) was an NFL reff (line judge) . He actually made the no touchdown call when Air McNair completed a pass on the last play of the super bowl and the receiver tried to stretch the ball across. I think that Superbowl was in Tampa Fla. My Mom was friends with his dad and He was a great guy. David came from a great family.
"I just wanna be the biggest dude.....that exists"🤣🤣🤣
🤣😭
I love the way you give him the benefit of the doubt along the way.
I had the pleasure to meet David when he played with cardinals. When my brother In law Rob blew his knee out David really flourished. Rob always thought david was using something because his recovery time was insane.
Rob moore is your BIL? Loved moore back in the day
Someone crashed into his car so hard they died in front of him. We May be downplaying the effect that had on him too. He probly got addicted to feeling strong because he never wanted to feel that powerless again.
Oh wow...seems like you just made a damn good point🤔...that would definitely mess with anyone's mental
Yes, we May be. We just May be.
I had a guy who broke my leg (Tibia/Fibia with a baseball bat) and after I laid on the ground and pleaded to live he held the bat above my head ready to crush my head in.
Luckily a friend of mine came and grabbed the bat and saved my life. I made a full recovery but did suffer compounded trauma much like what happened to David Boston.
It definitely made me want to become stronger (I packed on 40lbs of muscle) and definitely effected my view on society and how I valued life. Having a near death experience does change you for sure.
Damn that tie in to the two stories man .. crazy.. just crazy🙏🏽💰
I’ve only just stumbled across this channel, I love the messages behind these tales. Binged watched loads in 2 days....”cue the Wayne!”
I absolutely LOVE the way you tell your stories...I have yet to see you condemn anyone...it’s always “it’s possible”. Great job young man
David Gray Great job for what for making crap up
Yup! FlemLo gives us a look into players' lives that no one else does- their human side. Every single one of these is fascinating
Someone show this to D.K. Metcalf
David Boston was on steroids tho lol
@MD Wright AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS TO BE FACT.
James Diggins because he’s never used steroids and he’s retained his same size ever since he played with ole miss.
@M W at least 50% of the NFL, and elite athletes in most professional sports, are on performance enhancing drugs. DK shows many of the common juicing signs and pretty much anyone with moderate understanding of body building will tell you he's using PEDs.
M W what? Just know you’d have to be delusional or ignorant to think someone can achieve that naturally without extreme bulking and cutting cycles over many years. It’s pretty much common knowledge that most elite athletes are taking PEDs.
“David wouldn’t drink and drive...it was cocaine.” 😂😂😂😂😂 bruh you funny af that part took me out
Got the notification and clicked SO FAST. CUE THE WAYNE 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎😎
Bro dude was a monster at OSU ... You hit everything on this video.. I feel he did what he had to do to make his dream work. Great video as always ..
90 pills a day? Its amazing the dude didnt die , let alone be able to get on the football field
Ray Lewis use to take hella pills as well. I read up on his supplements, way too much stuff.
Flem lo the 🐐 my man gave us that whole intro just to tell David Boston story. Keep up the great work bro💯
Flem’s storytelling abilities are insane he could talk about anything and keep me interested the whole way through
You've got some of the most measured and amazing videos I've seen on RUclips, or anywhere else, ever. Your videos on guys who are now considered "busts" or "has-beens" are mind-blowing.
I know it's not the hardest thing in the world to curate this info, but the fact you do it and post these videos is something absolutely entertaining and mind-blowing. You do a GREAT job and I hope you continue to do these until your voice gives out!
Thanks for these. I'm in my mid-30s and so many of these videos help me remember a lot of things I lived at the time, but also provide additional info that I didn't realize.
I don't remember the car accident with Boston, but I do remember that the guy seemed so roided up that he couldn't play a whole season without a ligament or tendon injury, something along those lines (those are popular roid injuries, the body not being able to keep up with unnatural muscle growth).
Keep doing what you're doing, I LOVE these videos. And clearly, millions of other people love them as well!
Love ur vids, great at telling facts and interesting stories
Telling facts as far as he knows them at least. I agree with your comment wholeheartedly and the content FlemLo put in his videos really does rival that of ESPN, MSM or other RUclipsrs that cover the same formats.
In fact, FlemLos content is on par with ESPN's 30 for 30 series. That says a lot about someone that doesn't have millions of dollars to make content others of channels have to make their stories.
I hope FlemLo sticks to what he's doing with this channel because one day he will be a successful producer of entrainment videos.
Loved David Boston on Arizona ...that was a helluva WR trio !!
Heck yeah fritz Bolden and Boston
this man tells the best stories, saw his channel first a few weeks ago and he’s def one of my favorite youtubers now, he does an amazing job!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I remember his arms on Madden lol. So hilarious
As a fight fan, I've gotta ask you to specify which Joe Walcott. I'm sure you're talking about Barbados but Jersey Joe is one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport.
Joe walcott was 6'0" not 5'2 this guy is saying shit likes it's true.
Welbyn Castro the Barbados joe Walcott
@@welbyncastro9169 Yes, Jersey Joe was 6'0. Barbados Joe was 5'1 or 5'2.
You're right but this dude Flemo is not getting it right with pics.
Welbyn Castro yeah honest mistake
This is quality content!! You have to be more than a casual Sunday fan of football to remember David Boston. And this video does a great job of explaining it all!! Subbed.
The "H" is silent in "Humble,TX"

I live in umble....lol.
@@misterken03, when I first moved to Houston, I quickly learned things are not pronounced like one would think.
Kuykendahl, Bissonet, Fuqua, Pearland and of course Humble and a few others that I'm sure I'm forgetting. Very hard to get around as a newbie when you didn't understand a damned thing after trying to search for these places on a map.
What's up my fellow Houstonians!!
@@nawfsidereviews6029, what part of the North side are you in?
Flemlo I discovered you about a year ago and am LOVING the channel ✌️
Dude was literally doing the body builder regimen while playing football
You have a picture of “Jersey “Joe Walcott who was a 6ft tall heavyweight boxer. I think you’re referring to “Barbados” Joe Walcott who was a Welterweight boxer.
He is
Yup
i was about to say that too
I was freaking out, I thought “didn’t joe fight rocky for the heavyweight title in the 50s?”
I thought I was the only one that noticed that til I saw your post.
A few things.. 1. Good Video FlemLo.
2... the IV's were used after practice and workouts to replenish his body with what it had lost/get his levels back for recovery. . (illegal or was in the NFL).
I believe you were onto something about the wreck. David most likely started taking Testosterone and or something like Deca/gh to help his joints/recovery but because they worked so well, he never stopped probably. He was an elite athlete and thus even a really low dose like 150-300mg probably did wonders. Your levels can also be manipulated and he most likely knew when he would be tested hence he got by when tested. Test for designer drugs are expensive and or very specific so he most likely was never tested for those. (Also expensive and I'd think the NFLPA also had a say on those teat).
His face changing is a side of PEDs esp of using things like Test/Deca. (Water retention in many cases) The jaw line thing is most likely non sense since he wasnt prob taking enough GH year round for years to do any growing.. (2-6iu daily isnt doing that and he is teated for GH I believe).
Lastly, GHB is used by bodybuilders to help sleep since the drugs raise your heart rate and body temp. David was a party dude at times so it could also be recreational. He wasnt using GHB as a subsititute for growth. Not how that works.
I was a huge David Boston fan but yes PEDs are addictive and his weight caused more injuries most likely. You can only be so big and put pressure on the joints for so long.
In the end. ..Once you take PEDS and feel like Superman you no longer want to be Clark Kent. 😂✌
👍
He also got the beginning part about Jersey Joe Walcott wrong. He was born in 1914, 13 years before FlemLo says he started boxing. Still a great vid tho.
Facts speaking from personal experience.. i did a trenbalone and test cycle. I put on 30 pounds(about 20 was muscle) .. my libido was through the roof and i was fucking bitches like a porn star and my 🍆 grew a bit too from the blood flow it was crazy addictive.. but my temper was through the roof lost my job for fighting and got locked up.. theres always a trade off to any foreign compounds you out in your body.. it was definitely addictive tho!!
Ghb is so dangerous too. So dumb. Wouldnt recommend it. If someone wants to use drugs I'd say use a little test as a base and run another anabolic or two along with it. After that point you run into problems.
@@maxpainmedia tren is the monster of them all but no good. People use too high of a dose as well. I wouldn't ever use it.
Andrew Colvin yea and it also changes your brain .. it alters the way you think, its like you become a different person.. scary shit
You have a gift for storytelling, research, and investigative reporting/analysis. We need more young people like you
That feeling when you beat the notification...
Hey man love the channel one of my favorite people to listen to no David and his family personally good people he play football with my older brother Chuck Anderson and this was a pretty revealing an awesome documentary you did awesome and Humble Texas the H is silent cool to see our little town on this huge platform super fan keep the videos coming.
I always love your intros man. You take something completely unrelated and make the allusion fit 100 percent. Very impressive writing
Do Andre Woodson: the Kentucky QB who had 40 TDs
Yeess!
It’s funny you say that because I was just thinking about him he set all kind of records back in 2007
This guy is the embodiment of “oh no bby what is you doing?”
Lol lol willie williams
I'm a lifelong Buckeye homer and watched pretty much every game of Boston's college career. The thing I remember the most about his NFL career was the first time my buddies and I watched a Cardinals game i.. We all looked at each other like "WTF?". It was so obvious he was juiced out of his mind.
Best football videos on RUclips, I love the life lessons you work into them.
Gravy Spoon no doubt
He went back home to Humble Texas and calmed down.
"I'm shocked"
Donovan McNabb, Edgerrin James, Ricky Williams, Torry Holt, Champ Bailey, David Boston, Daunte Culpepper... WHAT A CRAZY DRAFT CLASS!!!
Jersey Joe Walcott was born in 1914. In addition to this, he was 6'0" tall and reigned as Heavyweight Champion from 1951-1952. This is why it's so important to research credible sources.
I agree the picture he used was of Jersey Joe Walcott
There is two of them he made a mistake it happens
Barbados Joe Walcott, not Jersey Joe Walcott fought in 1901.
Straight up donated his body to science
Man, I'm a Cardinal fan and David Boston was awesome at first. It sucked to watch his personality change as he got jacked and then his play began to suffer. I remember one game where he beat a DB for a TD and turned and taunted him as he went into the endzone. We were getting killed, so I it was like what are you doing? His old man, who used to be an NFL game official called him out over his behavior if I remember correctly. I wasn't surprised when he blew his patella out -- you add a bunch of muscle your body isn't built to handle and shit starts snapping. So much talent and possibility -- it was a shame.
That biochemist trainer guy has the crazy eyes.
😆
Facts
Yeah The trainer was definitely on something to
Mad scientist
90 pills a day bro?!? Yeah definitely the trainer was on some secret juice too
I swear I love this channel so much man Flemlo is my favorite RUclipsr by FAR!
His 70 catch, 880 yard season was in San Diego... he only ever played 5 games for Miami and didn't do anything. He also took at swing at Dave Redding which is what prompted his exit. Didn't connect but went full roid rage and wanted Dave to take it out to the parking lot after they got separated, screaming "let's settle this on the concrete"... Dude was way bigger than he was listed as being. I used to go to Charger minicamps and camps, dude dwarfed literally every player and was absolutely shredded. He was 260lbs for sure, and ripped. Legitimately talented and if he could've kept his shit in check he'd have been Andre Johnson before Andre Johnson but he dialed it up to 11 and went wild.
I remember when he got into it with Charles Woodson in college, but let me be quite I'm showing my age.
quite?
Word. I remember the shit talking leading up to the game. Great game too. I was like 12 watching that lol
Man grown ass men can't spell "Quiet"
I remember it too. But i was in middle school. 90s baby.
I'm Charger fan and was so excited when they signed him, and so disappointed a year later
Hey bro, btw, that’s Jersey Joe Walcott heavyweight champ in the 50’s, the guy you talking about is Barbados Joe Walcott, lightweight and welterweight. Easily confused though, Jersey Joe copied the name from Barbados Joe
🤦🏽♂️dude was tryna join the X-Men
Your mother is with the X-Men
Roy Curtis and you’re not a real person.
You mad because you are a mutant
Roy Curtis where’s your profile picture? How can you talk shit on the internet when you don’t even know how to properly set up a RUclips account?
Naw he wanted to fight Brock Lesner
What happened to Dennis Dixon, the Oregon an who arguably started the rise of Oregon football?
Really wanted him to be next in Pittsburgh.
He was a shoe in to win the Heisman until he got hurt in a Thursday night game against Arizona. When he got sidelined, Tebow won his first Heisman.
he went to san leandro high school
"Stuff like this, I don't want to have to report it" 11:30 😂😂😂
Starting off 2020 with 🔥🔥🔥!
When you're a football player, the weight room is supposed to be a facilitator to movement. Brock Lesnar is the perfect example of how being too jacked deters you from making sudden athletic movements that football requires. That's why you don't see mainstream bodybuilders play sports outside of the weight room unless you're in Sports Entertainment.
Your logic fails when Lesnar rushes you and hammer fists you into the ground in seconds...using his size, weight, reach, and strength to overwhelm your logic immediately LMFAO
@@Snarf_Le_Wombat Read his comment again. You're not allowed to hammer fist anyone in football. Your thinking of MMA or WWE (Sports entertainment).
@@thedon5533 Thank you!! Brock had to lose 30 pounds to become a solid MMA fighter. His WWE weight of 295 wasn't working and he saw that during his first UFC fight. Otherwise he'd still be playing for the Vikings and winning convincingly in UFC.
@@Snarf_Le_Wombat I respectfully disagree because Brock Lesnar had a record of 5-3 with 1 No Contest in MMA. His WWE record doesn't count because its a work and scripted, and my logic is valid because he tried out for the Vikings and didn't make the team. If your concept was valid, many Mr Olympia hopefuls would be playing football for the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Browns during their time away from bodybuilding competition season with NFL scouts hanging around the Arnold Classic.
Mike Mamula is another example of a workout warrior who played at Boston College lived in the weight room, but didn't produce squat when he played for the Eagles in the 90's. Workout Tarzans, Gridiron Janes.
Mamula played like a decent 3rd\4th round pick, just his insane workout numbers boosted him to the 1st round. Don't hate on him he was the first guy to go off and train for those drills solid for 2-3 months or so.
David played on an amazingly good Highschool football team at Humble highschool. I know at least 3 guys went to the NFL, maybe more. Including David Givens who won Superbowl rings with the patriots.
When your steroids come from Guadalajara and turn you into a champion with a 37 inch vertical...who would want to stop?
Those side effects aren't worth it. They can last forever.
Well he would’ve almost instantly become an acne infested insomniac with mood swings followed soon after by obliterated testicles, and weakened bones with man boobs. I’d be weary of that.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx sounds like cocaine and weed
@@MrRyan-wu4jx no. No it doesn't.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx thats not true at all. Especially when u have money and can do everything the right way.
Man I remember David Boston.. He was like another T.O. I always wonder what happened to him. Dude was an exiting player to watch and an all pro then he just disappeared.
Every video is extremely well done. Your writing and delivery is ESPN ready, if not better. Don't know your background, but you should start submitting editorials to popular websites, They could effectively build their sports content around your syndicated editorials. I think you'd have to talk about broader sports topics, in addition to player profiles, but your style is thoughtful and entertaining and would easily work in that format. Bengals fan here too, so blessings. Rock out.
This sounds like a real life Bane Story
