I know American Football is a really tough sport and if you like it, you will like rugby. It's like the bare knuckle version of American Football, with less stoppages. There is Rugby League and Union. I'm not well versed in either but The Six Nations (Union) is brutal.
@@tyharris9994I understand with today’s rules. I also know that there are plenty of studies and ex players that prove that it wasn’t good for them. My definition of cheap in any sport is doing something illegal.
@@dustincole3174 My definition is trying to intentiionally hurt the other player. Other cheap shot artists in sports would be undercutting the legs of a basketball player going up for a shot or rebound, elbow throwers like Karl Malone, or somebody who intentionally leads with their helmet.
@tyharris9994 Ronnie Lott didn't play dirty are take cheap shots on anyone. He played hard and hit hard. He played within the rules. You'll never here anyone say Ronnie Lott was a dirty player.
There’s plenty of big hits in today’s game happens every game… the game has changed but ultimately football is football why do people like you have to tear down the present generation when they reminisce about stuff from the past
@@HHjrebI think because it was a lot more violent with head to head contact, players getting sphered with straight helmet to the body and lower extremities. It was a lot of career ending knee injuries, straight Bloodsport. But they do this in every sport. It's a generational thing. Basketball same way..was way more contact and fights and hard defense, now it's more offensive minded. Don't give it no energy cause it's only opinions and people love their Era's. It's a winless argument.
@@HHjreb Just stating facts, sure there are big hits but guys like Ronnie Lott and Jack Tatum to name a few would be ejected from games and flagged repeatedly for some of their hits. Different era, today’s game is more about offense, points and flash. Ratings, the NFL doesn’t want 3-0 9-3 10-7 ball games.
@@senseisnotcommon9711 I agree, his point of contact was incredible. Never dirty, but goodness gracious could he stick. When LOTT hit you, you definitely knew it.
Ronnie is not great -- guys that live to hurt other players should not get respect or be in the hall of fame... In the real world, Ronnie would have been in prison because black men with natural ability always get in trouble because of their EGO....
I went to school with Icky's nephew, he invited me to a BBQ and I got to meet the man. It is funny looking back on it all these years later as I was the only white person at the BBQ lol.
Take a good look at Ronnie Lott's hand kids. One of his fingers was famously amputated at the knuckle simply because the man didn't want to go on IR and miss playing a single down due to his dedication to the team. This man is on my Mt. Rushmore for being one of the toughest players to ever play the game. P.S. A special thanks to the makeup artist that finally toned down the color palette on Joe Buck's face for this episode. We love the new platform Mr. Buck, but for a moment there I couldn't figure out if you were downing an entire gallon of red Kool aid before each interview or if you lost a bet to someone with an incredible sense of humor.
No we call that mind manipulation of a fool! To cut off your finger for anything other than saving your life or someone else’s idiotic! I mean he wasn’t doing it for his country or to save his family. Mind games will make you a fool!
@@LusterBrand Tell his wife and kids that. I’m sure they would rather have that finger. I’m sure if I went to war for my country that would be a much better reason to lose a finger. It’s just reality. Not a trophy.
Ronnie Lott was the HARDEST HITTING DUDE IN THE NFL for quite a while.At the same time,very nice man,well respected and a very smart player.i still have one of his football cards. to this day it's one of my favorites
Mr. Lott is an underated class act! He is an incredible hunan being! The niners of his era are a true staple of sportsmanship, teammates, winners and complete tried and true professional athletes.
Great guy. Actually an incredible basketball player as well. My cousin's and I used to play at this open gym at James Lick HS in San Jose on Saturday mornings and LOTT would come just to get some run in. Had serious game and was not a bull in a china shop, he could play.
Ronnie is a really intelligent and well-spoken person. That is the biggest thing I took away from meeting him. He’s my favorite player from the Eddie D Dynasty.
I lived in Cincinnati during that '89 Super Bowl, Ickey & his td dance was all we did after scoring in Peewee ball 🏈 lol. The dance was definitely a game changer
Lott wasn't only the best safety ever, he was the best defensive back ever. He started out playing cornerback and was terrific at that position too. All business and all class
Ronnie Lott vs Christian Okoeye was LEGENDARY! The hits were so loud you could hear it over the crowd at arrow head stadium! Both guys reputations were on the line and it was their 1st encounter. Legendary match up!!!
Technician at hitting. Never launches himself with eyes closed. Wraps up better than anyone. Never goes for the knees. Always know how and where he's gonna hit.
Ronnie Lott the best safety to ever play the game, and that hit on icky changed the hold dynamic of the way Icky ran the ball after that. He's a very small part of the offense after that tackle well after that big ass hit. Ronnie was a beast.
Bull shit.... Billiups drop and interception in the end zone right to him with no one around. And Krumrie breaks his leg. No way do they make that last drive..... and what was it 43 seconds short for the Bengals to win. Bull shit on the "never in doubt crap.
When i was in grade school in the small town of Oxford Kansas in the 70's, Ronnie Lott and Billy Sims came to my school and gave all the kids a pep talk in the Gymnasium. I had no idea they would go on to be great nfl football players. I got both autographs from them. But being a dumb kid i lost them somehow. Lol. They were really nice to us and they were 2 big dudes.
When Ronnie speaks, looks at that pinky finger that he told them to CHOP OFF during halftime so he could go back out & play. Lott was a DREAM WRECKER. He was the one thing that Offenses feared on the other side of the ball. Amazing!
Lott arguably the greatest FS ever. And I don’t care how big or strong you are, if you knock a Woods (6-1 250 lb dude) with a 5 yd head start backwards, you are hitting with force.
I wasn't a 49er fan but Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig (who I took after when I played ball), Joe, Rice, Rathman, Taylor, and that's just the the tip. That team was special. 🇵🇷✊🏾🇦🇬
I met Ronnie Lott at 49ers training camp in 1988. I was 13 years old and asked for his autograph and then I told him I wanted to be a Safety just like him. He replied “you gotta hit ‘em!. You gotta hit them hard!!”
it's stunning how ronnie lott could hit like that, and how he isn't in a bed somewhere waiting to die. his knowledge of the game was his real secret, he knew where to be and that's half the battle right there, icky didn't see him until it was over.
Lott was an abosolute beast on the field, one of the hardest hitters in NFL history. When the 49ers practiced at Sierra College near Sacramento CA, we had a chance to meet a number of 49ers back then. One was Joe Montana at a club, Keena Turner, same thing, a club, and of course Ronnie Lott. My buddy and I were both Cowboys fans, we see Lott standing by himself at this club, we walk up to him and asked him his thoughts on the Cowboys, he simply states, 'the Cowboys suck'. lol As teenagers, if I remember right, we both kept a stoic face, but looking back on it, it's funny as hell now. lol Ronnie Lott was no joke, dude hit and hit hard.
. Running back Icky Woods and his icky shuffle touchdown celebration dance was all the rage that season. In that Super Bowl Icky Woods stats 20 attempts for 79 yards rushing total for no touchdowns and no Icky shuffles.
Lott was the absolute best of his era
He couldn't lay out bo Jackson tho , the hardest hitters always meet they match
Facts. Steve Atwater was a very close second tho...
@@deandrenicholas2545yep Steve Atwater was next up behind Lot
He was.
Wouldn't be allowed to play his game today.
hits from Ronnie Lott changed lives.
He couldn't lay out bo Jackson , lott and Ray Lewis rarely laid out legends , Ray Lewis never laid out Eddie George either. Lott and Lewis made a living off mediocre running backs
NICCA WHAT🤔😂
@@rockfresh1993man that’s true about BO but gotta give Lott his flowers he was a monster also George and ray Lewis went at it neither got the best of the other
Ronnie couldn't play now he was a head hunter, totally illegal now. Much respect to Ronnie in his day.
I know American Football is a really tough sport and if you like it, you will like rugby.
It's like the bare knuckle version of American Football, with less stoppages.

Ronnie was one of the hardest hitters,would be fined today

Nah. Lott was not a headhunter. Bro made good business decisions while delivering punishing hits. Man did I try to emulate him. Epic FAIL.

Lott Greatest no dispute
It's close between him and Ed Reed. Both could cover and hit. Lott's a 4-time Champion. I think this gives him the edge.
@@BrandonTimmons-km4hi Reed wasn’t near the hitter Lott was.
@@jasonwardy8192 I agree with that and Lott was a great cover guy. Many forget that he played in a SB as a corner.
Singletary was a beast.
@BrandonTimmonfs-km4hi
First one against the Bengals
Quite possibly the Greatest safety ever, total package.
Best two are Lott and Ed reed
Possibly? No doubt the best overall. Ed Reed was a hawk.....I'll take Ronald every time
Ronnie Lot, number 42 - 4 + 2 equals 6 which is the number of a satanic puppet...
The NFL had to change the rules because of guys like Ronnie Lot who lived for hurting other players...

Knocked the stripes off that bengal🔥🦍💪🏿💯
Ronnie Lott was one of the best I ever saw. That man gave opponents literal nightmares
He hit Ickey so hard he was never the same player again
No. Ickey wasn't shut down by Lott. He averaged 4.6 for his career. Injuries, of which Lott had nothing to do with, caused the end of his career.
👍💯@@mikeyerian2562
Naw
Ray Lewis vs. Eddie George,
Donnie Shell. Vs. Earl. Campbell
@@edourdpeters4352 look up Steve Atwater vs Christian Okoye.
One of the best to ever play the game! Salute Ronnie Lott💪🏾
They would not let him play today, he was a monster in the secondary. Loved the way he played, one of my best DB’s of all time
It was an honor watching you play, sir !!!
When I seen that hit in that game I was like "Dammmnnnn" Lott a bad boy 💪
Ronnie Lott was the HARDEST HITTING DUDE IN THE NFL for quite a while.At the same time,very nice man,well respected and a very smart player.i still have one of his football cards. to this day it's one of my favorites

The greatest defensive back of all time.
Safety
@@michaelmayojr.2730 He was drafted out of usc.As a corner to begin his career.I'm a huge niner fan.I watch all those things for over fifty years
That's a stretch. Top 10 for sure
Who’s your top ten ?
Rod Woodson
Right on, back in the days 🏈.I can dig it 👍. (NFL)✅
He's articulate and charismatic.
Ickey had a great 3 year run that changed the way the NFL looked at touchdown celebrations. 🎉 I almost forgot about him until this clip.
I lived in Cincinnati during that '89 Super Bowl, Ickey & his td dance was all we did after scoring in Peewee ball 🏈 lol. The dance was definitely a game changer
One of the greatest to ever grace the field, today’s players at that position are soft compared to this guy 😮
My 2nd fave player all time ! The man was a beast !
His cut off finger is one of my favorite NFL stories of all time.
Crazy mfer 😅
That was an awesome Superbowl
Lott wasn't only the best safety ever, he was the best defensive back ever. He started out playing cornerback and was terrific at that position too. All business and all class
I miss this REAL football. I have a hard time watching football anymore
That was a top 10 hit all time!!
This Made me want to watch Ronnie Lott Highlights
#42 is one of the greatest of all time. An absolute beast on the field and a high caliber individual
I always loved Ronnie Lott. RAIDERS fan
THE GREAT RONNIE LOTT!!!
HE LAYING THE WOOD ON EACH TAKLE!!!

Yea it was Atwater
That hit on the Nigerian Nightmare changed his career as well. Steve Atwater was a beast in his own right. Salute to the hitters of that era🫡
Bo Jackson lit Ronnie Lott up.
Had that man rethinking his career and possibly life choices that led him to that moment
"THE HIT MAN "💥💥
Whoa!!!!! What a hit!!!!

He was a big time beast
As a Whole, not really cared for 49ers, but people like Rice, Montana, Taylor, Hacksaw, Wright & Lott got my Cheers!-lol
I know it’s only in retrospect I appreciate their talent , back in day too busy rooting against them
Do you all have any idea what that decade was about ? Nope ! It would blow your mind . 💼
The hardest hitting safety that ever played he would knock the soul out of guys
I remember that.Up to that point Cincinnati was taking it to the 49ers and that hit changed the momentum of game for SF
Remember watching that game. The result of the game was never in doubt after this hit.

Its always about the money! A slick comment nobody caught.
Ronnie was that dude- I always picked him on Tecmo bowl hahaha lol
Lol that was the key to winning - pick a team with a good safety
Nobody hit like Ronnie.
Hang on to the ball Ronnie.

Him and Sean Taylor hit harder than anyone else to lace em up.
