WEBVTT - Dudes on Dick Butkus

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Chased Lions running back Alti Taylor into the stands. Taylor

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>told a reporter he thought Buckets was overrated. After Taylor

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>stepped out of bounds to avoid a hit in the game,

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Buckets kept chasing him all the way to the stands

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of soldier field.

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:25.639

<v Speaker 2>woods better.

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>First thing I think of about Dick Buckets.

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what's the first thing you think of besides an

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>inappropriate first name? Well, that's what I know you're thinking of.

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Nah, yeah, I am.

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.319
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing I think of, Like, wow, he must

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>have had a huge piece if that's your name. Yeah.

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I think his name was Richard and they call people

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Richard Dick. But first thing I think of just old

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>school football. Oh he was Richard. Yeah, all right, so

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>all Richard's are Dick, You know that, right.

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that if you're a Richard, I thought

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Richard's you are Dick. But you can also just be

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 2>named Dick, but not Richard.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.199
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think anyone's just named Dick.

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Dick's sporting goods.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>That is that is correct. That is correct.

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>But rich Richard sporting goods are yeah. Uh yeah, all

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Richards are Dicks.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.279
<v Speaker 1>That is correct if you use the nickname.

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I have a good one. I just went I just

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>had a monster appearance and my security guy name was

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Richard and he goes, yeah, everyone knows me as a

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>monster Dick security monster Dick, and like that was pretty cool.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was cool.

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, but it goes to the point anyone named Richard

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>is Dick.

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, oh, my security guard has a

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>monster Dick. That's what I was thinking. I'm protective, I'm productive.

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, if you're Richard, yeah you're Dick. Okay back

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 2>to Dick buckets. Look at he's got butt in his

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 2>last name too. I mean, this guy is very scary.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>That is scary. He's tore the offense, fucking the offensive

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 2>lines as he shredded them, Like that's why, that's why.

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Butting his name toiler ass is apart on that football field.

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean that is is that a Mount Rushmore or

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>football name?

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 2>It might be Zick Buckets. It's top. I mean it's

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>one of the top names.

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>What are some other big names?

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean he also had other nicknames as well. The Animal,

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the Enforcer, the Maystro Maystro of Mayhem. That was me

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 2>as a kid, by the way, Like, well, how we

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>were just talking about me dressing up as that was

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 2>the Maystrow of Mayhem. Oh and the Robot of Destruction.

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh that was also me too, walking into rooms and

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>just me being on the field as a kid. Me

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>and Dick are very similar.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever meet him?

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Have I ever met him?

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 1>He's not alive anymore, is he? He died recently the

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>last like five years.

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I didn't.

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I ever got to meet him.

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I never got to meet him either, But I was

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 2>just watching some highlight films with him man, and I

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>just love the way that he plays and he has

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 2>to be one of those first true linebackers where it's

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>like he's huge, yeah, like being that size and huge exactly.

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 2>He looked bigger than offensive linemen. He looked bigger than

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>defensive lineman. I love the way that he wore his

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 2>shoulder pads. It made him just look even bigger than

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 2>everyone else because they were like stocky. He was like

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>he was. He wore those full back shoulder pads a

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>little bit, but at the linebacker position. But what I

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>really loved about his game is that he ran after

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the ball carrier like there was no one else in

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 2>his way, Like he would just run. A lineman would

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 2>come and block him, but it's like he could see

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>through the lineman. He could run right through the lineman.

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>He can avoid that lineman that's coming out, and he

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>would get to the ball carrier. Every single time someone

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>falls on the ground in front of him. Somehow, even

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>though he's staring at the ball carreer, he would leap

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>over the guy that's on the ground instead of tripping

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>over him. It's like nothing was stopping him from getting

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>to that ball carrier. And that's what defines a great

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 2>legendary linebacker is a see ball carrier, get the ball carrier.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Tackle ball carrier.

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>And that was Dick Buckus. And that's why he was

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the scariest guys to block, because it's so

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 2>hard the block a guy that their motive is just

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 2>to get the tackle, because they can just swoop right

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>around you, run through you. They just don't see you.

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Jules No.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've seen some highlights of him where he

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>just literally four like doesn't I've seen him close arm

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>people like that was The game back then was basically

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>just like murder on a field. It was like these

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>guys were poking each other's eyeballs, freaking. It was just

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a completely different game. And whenever you talk to anyone

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of like who's his storian of this game, they always

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about Dick Buckets. And we even said it, you know,

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>talking about him sixty years later. His impact on the

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>game was clearly insane. They say he had a four

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to five forty back then at two forty five. I mean,

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that's just crazy. He's hard nosed, had speed and range,

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>was able to cover sideline to sideline. The sideline to

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>sideline that was because of Dick Buckets, you know, that's

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>where they got the term sideline to sideline. And it

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>was pretty cool that he played his whole football career

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>in the state of Illinois. You know, he went to

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>University Illinois, played for the Bears, and he's a legend.

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>He's just an absolute legend. He played with the ferocity

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of an angered animal. Hall of Fame coach George Allen

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>on Buckus. The first time I saw Buckus, I started

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>packing my gear. There was no way that guy wasn't

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be great. Bill George Buckus's predecessor at linebacker

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>for the Bears.

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 2>This is one of my favorite quotes right here by

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Bears center Mike Pile. Yes, yes, and just trying to

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>get Buckets to go easier in practice, because I kind

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 2>of did this sometimes like brother in law, that brother

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>in law in practice, and I did it plenty of times,

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>especially with Ninko. I gotta give credit to Ninkovic. I mean,

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't a great cover guy. You know, he's he's

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of mind boggled every single day as well. But

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 2>this guy has slow center of gravity, Ninkovic, and it

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 2>was so hard to block him. He had so much power.

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 2>So I always tried to become buddies with him, because Buddy,

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to, you know, be one hundred percent for

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>games on Sunday, and I just can't pole my head

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 2>against Nikovic every day. I already knew that, but so

0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>this is a trick I liked by Mike Pile because

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I try to butter up Ninkovic. Is that I spent

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>all this money buying him dinner and beer and stuff

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 2>like that, so he wouldn't take it out on me

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 2>in the scrimmages like that just explains how good Dick

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Bucket was and how hard he played.

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>But do not put Ninkovich in the same sentence. But

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not.

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I was just putting him in the same sentence. Yeah,

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 2>they're both from Illinois, and how I just buttered up

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Ninkos just because that's the only skill he had, was

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>coming off the line and trying to hit me. No,

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I just no, what do you mean that? No, I

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>just give him credit. He rags on us twenty four

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>to seven.

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we can't get all little Nico too bad.

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 2>He might, Yeah he might cry.

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he might get all sad.

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll hang out with him next week. He did. He

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>had more skills than just coming off the line. He

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>actually had over fifty sacks in his career.

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>He did. We hear about it every time. Yeah, we do.

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>We do the most forced fumble or the most fumble

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>recoveries or something.

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I've and the most underpaid white line defensive ever ever play.

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>But no, who wasn't under Well, Dick Buckets was probably

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>underpaid too.

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Back three hundred dollars a game, he really did, Yeah,

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>nineteen sixty.

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Did he have a job out of the season. Probably,

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>That's how That's how it was back then. Remember we

0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>did the Remember we did the day? Were you there

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>with Coach Belichick? Where we did the day where we

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>were supposed to be from like the thirties or something

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>or the forties where they took out like all the

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>breakfast and they just gave you coffee and like cereal

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and like people were smoking cigarettes in practice and stuff.

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean. Do you see that You

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>remember that day?

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't.

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I wonder what year that was. We did like a

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>time lapse thing. It was like a time lapse team

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>building day where we were going to see how it

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>was back in the day when.

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I think you were a rookie when this happened and

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't on the team yet.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>No, maybe it was the year you left or you retired.

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just wasn't there for it.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>You weren't that one. It was. It was pretty crazy

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>that they lived like that.

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's get back to Dick Buckets. Okay. He made

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 2>a media impact his rookie season. Five interceptions, seven fumble recoveries,

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and I just love the way when he picked up

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the ball he would just go full speed as well

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>full speed and become a ball carrier. He was just

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>so great to watch. He was entertaining. He had an

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>incredible career at Illinois's All American play center and linebacker.

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean he had the size, Like I said, he

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 2>was bigger than these offensive line at the time.

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>He looks like a football player. He does he is.

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.079
<v Speaker 2>He's the definition of all football player.

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>One of the first guys to wear a bull ring,

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I think too, was he one of that that was

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>like that's he made the bull ring for middle linebacker.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>That was like a if you were a badass middle linebacker,

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you had the bull ring. And I think it was

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.599
<v Speaker 1>because of Dick Buckis.

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen seventy. Nineteen seventy were talking a year after

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 2>nineteen sixty nine. I don't know why I just brought

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.959
<v Speaker 2>that up. I just just kind of felt like I

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>should have just popped up on your number. He signed

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>a multi year contract extension that remained in Chicago and

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the contract. The contract raised a salary from fifty thousand

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 2>dollars per year to around eighty thousand to one hundred

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars per year, or we're talking a complete football player,

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 2>and he was just making one hundred thousand dollars a year.

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>But one hundred thousand dollars back in nineteen seventy yeah,

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.599
<v Speaker 2>It was probably like two million now.

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe something like that. We don't rob probably did the math.

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was about two million. Now that it's about

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 2>two million right there. He's so huge, all right, he

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 2>was fine. He had money.

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.439
<v Speaker 1>They didn't even keep probably have to pay for.

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 2>A single thing though, in the state of Illinois. No,

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.199
<v Speaker 2>this guy, even his center was buying him beer.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this guy didn't have to pay for a thing. Hey,

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 2>do you think he could have covered you jewels? No? Yeah,

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I know I was watching him cover guys he got.

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Back in those days, they didn't really have the athletics.

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Say if he got his hands on me, yeah, he

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>could have.

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Kind of liked you.

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 1>They probably with his he would have like probably like

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>just tackled.

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Me, yeah, exactly, and that would have been allowed. But

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 2>because he would have only had to tackle you in

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 2>order to cover you. But we smoked him back in

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 2>the day. I saw him in coverage. But I love

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>But why wouldn't say we would smoke him in the

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.439
<v Speaker 2>In the run game, I think, no run right through us.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>But man, in the past game, I'd give it to us.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Chased Lions running back ALTI Taylor into the stands. That's

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>how scary this joker is. Taylor told a reporter he

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 1>thought Buckets was overrated. After Taylor stepped out of bounds

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to avoid a hit in the game, Buckets kept chasing

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>him all the way to the stands of Soldier Field.

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 2>I love it. I love it time Dick buckus airy player.

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 1>And rest in peace to Dick. He he passed away

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago and we're talking about him to

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>this day. One of the founding followers of this league.

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 2>And thank you to Dick Buckets for, you know, setting

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 2>the standard of what it is to be a football player,

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 2>not an athlete out there and be a freak of nature,

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 2>a football player just going out there and dominating on

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the football field. Thank you, Dick.

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he could probably be a bunch of these things.

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 1>He was such a huge dude, ran four or five.

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Obviously has dog tendencies, but I think it's one thing

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>when you look at him, it.

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Just just stands out. And like, what I really like

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>about him as well, is that stash that he has.

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>That stash just stands out to me and just made

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 2>him that much more scary.

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all kind of duties on three one two three.

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Stud Yeah, he's got his center buying him beers. Uh,

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>he got that stash that I just brought up. I

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 2>got to bring it up again because we didn't talk

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 2>about it at all. I mean, just the way he

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 2>can go from sideline to sideline.

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.680
<v Speaker 1>And he's been he's been the role model for every

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:55.439
<v Speaker 1>middle linebacker since. Like everyone talks about dick buckets, ray

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Lewis talks about dick buckets like Fred Warner probably talks

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.320
<v Speaker 1>about dick buckets. I don't know if he does, but

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 1>probably probably probably because that's how studily he was
