Grits and Shins Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Was OJ still in the NFL when he murdered those people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 correct answer, leon lett funny story we were reminiscing about on thanksgiving. my stepdad (who passed away this year, RIP ) was sitting on the score in some big office pool. he was going to win a hundred bucks or something, which is not some enormous sum of money, but you have to understand....frank never won ANYTHING. one fo the unluckiest SOBs ever when it came to that sort of thing, a fact he NEVER stopped b*tching about. miami was moving down the field and he was getting all animated, "stop em! stop em! come on dallas, you suck, stop em!" then when they block that field goal, o'l frank starts hootin and hollerin...."yes! finally!!" and then, enter leon lett, stage left swear to god, one of the funniest experiences of my whole life.

tazinib1 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 If we are talking about actual off the field instances, then that list is pretty good. My vote would go to OJ. He most likely spends the rest of his life in jail on kidnapping/armed robbery convictions. All this after being acquitted for double homicide. For actual ON FIELD stupidity, that award is Leon Letts and Leon Letts alone. Going for the most points ever scored in a SB he gets ran down 70+ yds while holding the ball out only to see it knocked out of the back of the end zone by Beebie for a touchback.... 52-17, not 59-17. Secondly, playing Miami, in a version of the ice bowl. Thanksgiving day, blocked field goal, Cowboys win!!! Wait, Leon Lett rumbling towards the ball, not a soul in sight (does he not get it?) he slides 5 yds in the ice and knocks the ball near the goal line. Miami gets the ball on the 1 with little more then a few seconds left, kicks the winning field goal. Dallas loses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crapper Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Dumbest NFL player of all time? O.J. Get's away with killing 2 people, then gets busted for armed robbery and assult, no bail. What a class act.

BeeR Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) correct answer, leon lett Better candidate than most if not all in the OP. That list should be "lowest form of life to play in the NFL" or some such, not necessarily stupidest (although they aren't exactly rocket scientists) and include Ray Lewis, Lenny Little, and Larry Phillips. Although I don't see anyone beating OJ. Edited December 3, 2008 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 10 Dumbest sports injuries 1. Bill Gramatica: Not only the dumbest sports injury, but probably one of the stupidest things you'll ever witness, period. After nailing a 42-yard field goal to put the lowly Arizona Cardinals up 3-0 in the first half of a regular season game, kicker Bill Gramatica jumped up in wild celebration, came down, and tore his ACL. Gramatica missed the rest of the season, and embarrassed the kicker position nationwide. Gramatica is no longer a kicker in the NFL, but will forever be remembered by me, and many others, for the funniest thing to ever happen on a football field.

BeeR Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 That's not even close to the dumbest. It was a freak accident. It's not like he banged his head into a goalpost or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that game, i remember the stadium going nuts when Hostetlers (think it was him) name was called as the replacement. And if i remember correctly this was the tie where Westbrook took off his helmet late in overtime, penalty pushed them out of field goal range. good times walking down the ramp arguing with redskins fans over whos team sucked more.

detlef Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The guy who hid in the trunk of the car. Carruth? Winner winner. I mean, killing your pregnant girlfriend is evil and a one-way ticket to hell more than it is stupid. However, hiding out in the trunk of your own freaking car when you're on the run after killing said girlfriend, that's where stupid comes in. I'd add Lawrence Phillips to the list My thought as well. You took one look at that guy and thought, "Wow, that guy doesn't look so bright." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 What about Todd Marinovich? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Marinovich I am by no means backing this guy or making excuses for him, but this guy had some issues which were a result of a crazy father who pushed his son to the brink at a very early age. Mental/emotional pressure lingered with Marinovich starting early in his HS career in Orange County (or before... just read some of what's said in that Wiki article). The guy never panned out and turned to drugs. Again, not making excuses for the guy, but he was f'ed in the head from an early age and it wasn't entirely his fault. In fact, I'd go so far to say it was 90% not his doing. Kinda just feel sorry for the guy... don't think he's the stupidest NFL player ever by any means, though.

cre8tiff Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Eric Crouch. Refuses an NFL contract to play at WR, because he HAS to be a QB. Currently working at 7-11, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hostetler was on the Jints. I think Heath Schuler (spelling?) took over for the head-banger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
