It has been said that getting tackled like that is similar to being in a car crash. A LOT of football players have brain damage and early dementia as a result of the hits. Here in Baltimore we just buried a 17 year old who was tackled too hard at the championship high school game. He slipped into a coma and died shortly after. Football is not a joke it is a way of life!
Fortunately there have been advancements in helmets and technology that are cutting down the number of concussions on the last 10 years.
It still hurts like hell though!
@@Justin.Q helmets can only help so much when it comes to concussions. What has helped more are the rule changes like, you can't tee off on a defenseless receiver, can't Crack back block, moved the kickoffs up so there are more touchbacks and less returns, things like that.
@@franquil85conn The number of scientific articles published on concussions has grown from between five and 10 in the 1960's to more than 150 in this decade. At the University of Oklahoma have played with what looks like a normal helmet but inside its equipped with tiny airbags, scattered in between the foam padding. Each airbag serves as a sensor, the sensors are connected to a transmitter. At impact, the airbags process their signal through a complex algorithm devised by Greenwald. If the impact registers greater than 98G - units of gravity or G-force - the signal is transmitted wirelessly to a remote computer and medical staff receive an electronic page.
All in a matter of seconds. The helmet is also outfitted with a tiny thermostat to measure head temperature. The only drawback has been instances of concussions are erratic. Some players experience concussion at impacts as low as 40G. Others experience concussion at impact thresholds greater than 98. That's when observing the player is vital and that's when the concussion protocol text is given. You use to see the trainers giving potential concussed players on the sideline until TV cameras became too noseyand bordered on HIPPPA violations. Now most schools have big tents to take injured players for private exams.Yes new rules have helped but the helmet and the warning signals continue to advance.
@@Justin.Q you could design a helmet with millions of tiny airbags and it's not going to do shit to a crackback block because the cushion isn't the problem it is the speed. Their is no cushion that stops the brain from bouncing around inside your skull like a pinball machine. Now if you had an airbag the size of a car, it would decelerate your change of direction slow enough, but not inside a helmet. Why do boxers get CTE? I mean all of their impacts are with huge cushioned gloves...most cuts are from friction of the gloves, don't usually see fighter with broken skulls, but you see a lot of oldheads that are punch drunk. Personally it doesn't matter to me as long as the players know the risk. I mean some military men signed up to potentially die for a 15k signing bonus and a gi bill. Show them the risks involved, money to be made, and give them the choice.
I played American football when I was a young lad back in the day. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing got my adrenaline going more than hitting another player like that, or getting smashed by another player like that. It is intense and even though you hurt for a few days after, it is still the best feeling in the world.
Consider this too, that backyard games organized by the kids in the neighborhood were played without pads and we hit each other just as hard. I miss those days.
I played for years also and while I agree with most everything you said ... I have never hit anyone without pads as hard as I did with pads! I have broken fingers and a wrist and had many weekends wrecked from not being able to turn my head and not walking real well :/ Watch the opening to the movie North Dallas forty. That's how I felt the day after many times!
When your head would buzz after a big hit man
My friends and I decided at one point that we were no longer going to be able to play backyard football or someone was going to die. It didn't help that one of them was a 400 lb lineman. It was super fun but so so dangerous.
You sir are an American. No doubt about it.
@@anthonywissell7002 I actually got banned from playing with some neighborhood kids because I was too rough. Mind you I was at that time probably 5'4" and 120LBS soaking wet.
We had a family next door that enjoyed their food. Their oldest (about my age) was a bit taller than me, and probably weight close to 250.
I was running to sack the quarterback (my favorite thing to do) and he wanted to get in my way. I hit him so hard (he stopped when we came together) that he flew a good foot or two back.
Immediately everyone stopped playing and they looked at me. Then they told me I couldn't play anymore...lmao.
After that, no kid in that neighborhood ever picked a fight with me.
I was Qb in high school. Got hit so hard I walked to the other teams huddle seeing stars lol. I loved it! Tough sport. Great reactions and channel. Hope you guys have a Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe.
Ran a QB sweep up the right sideline, I never went out of bounds, always looked to deliver a hit. Well that day there was a guy in front of me, a guy behind me and 2 guys coming from the side... and they all hit me at once.
Dusted myself off and took the very next snap. lol
@@generalkayoss7347 Good stuff. Those were fun times for sure.
😂☠️ welcome to the Lineman’s ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Ahh this comment killed me. Absolutely hilarious 😂
I played RT in high school and I was at the bottom of a pile when an opposing player kicked the crap out of my helmet. It was right in front of the ref, too but nothing happened. It was bad enough that our coaches were on the field screaming and the student section was chanting "BULL SHIT BULL SHIT BULL SHIT". The guy literally kicked the sight out of my eyes, it was insane. All I saw was light and my vision faded back in as my center stood over me reaching out to help me up. We won the game, and in the locker room afterwards I legitimately thought it was halftime and I was trying to hype my boys up. It was wild.
These reactions never get old. A soccer player gets his leg touched, he's flopping around for 20 minutes. Football player gets his chest caved in, he's getting his pulse checked.
Girlfriend: I feel sick
Beasley: Let me rewind so you can rewatch this brutal hit lol.
You should watch some compilations of greatest catches, runs, touchdowns, etc as more of an easier to watch intro.
I know!! He definitely enjoyed this more than me!
YES!! My thoughts exactly! He should have eased her into American football. Like greatest catches, extreme weather games, greatest Superbowl moments...
This had me dying 😂😂😂
@@TheBeesleys99 I'd say start with Barry Sanders' 50 Greatest Plays.
@@Taliesyn42 The best RB in NFL history. And I'm a Raider fan.
6:00 Millie, keep in mind that was a highlight real picking out the best hits from thousands of games over several decades. Seeing a hit like that doesn't happen very often. Also, by today's rules, a lot of those would be penalties and even ejections.
Facts except the seeing a hit like that doesnt happen very often, that part cap. Its multiple big hits like some of these every week AND you can see how well players are starting to adjust to the rules. HUGE hits that are head out of the way straight to the torso legal hits.
Mark my words in 5-10 years the amount of big hits gon be what it used to be. It starts with the kids cuz im only 23. We was still hitting with our helmets when i was 11 back in 09.
Thanks for insight!!
@@millie0804 Yup, definitely true that it's a highlight vid over DECADES! The normal football game isn't anywhere near this much. I do think, perhaps, that they're turning too much into flag football, however, :)))
I was about to comment something similar to this. This video was a compilation of the exceptions, not the norm of the game. It's similar to any form of morbid curiosity we all have. It's a train wreck we'd rather not see, but we can't help but want to watch it to the end. I think a better display of the game, besides just your average NFL or NCAA game, would be the iconic plays, the best jukes, best interceptions, best runs, and the Hail Mary's. In a nutshell that's what we remember most besides the hours of commercials and these hard hits.
still an iconic video lmao i remember watching this when i was 13 and i cant believe its still around
So so brutal aha!
@@TheBeesleys99 nfl taunting moments next. Pretty funny
There are tons of videos of people around the world reacting to this HCTB video, it never get old.I have to do a compilation video of it and post it one of these days.
“Here comes the boom” is not going anywhere.
I love how you're watching it with a smile and laughing and your girl is sitting there grimacing and wincing almost the whole time, lol
You have to understand that these guys are 250+ lbs.(115 + kg) and they run the 40 yard (36.5 meters) in 4.5 -5.0 seconds. I really enjoyed this reaction video and I think that the two of you should do more. 🙌👏👍✌️
Don't let this distract you from the fact that In 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.
Running out of folks who still get this joke
I get it. I remember that speech.
Loved seeing this comment. Funny.
Is this from Married with Children???
@@noirekuroraigami2270 yes it is
This is priceless! She's just shaking her head like, "Aww, he'll naw!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was a strong safety back in high school. Getting taken out by a fullback on an option play was always a party. I woke up a number of times to coach asking me what day it was. That was before helmet to helmet contact was enforced. It sure felt good to lay down the boom though.
Watching the brutal hits is a good way to introduce to football but you also have to show why it's a beautiful sport.
Adam N:. Exactly. If you love strategy you would love American football. It is a very cerebral and strategic sport.
If you expose American Football to a foreigner often enough, he or she will get to like it.
just watching someone who you know is 250lb+ of pure muscle running full blast getting stopped in their tracks is always something to see.
I've been binging on your videos today. After watching if USA could beat UK,I watched this video. I laughed the whole way through! I guess football is kind of an insight into why other countries shouldn't mess with us- we're raised pretty tough. 🤣🤣
Poor Millie!!! She was literally cringing the entire time. You should react to football played in extreme weather. That might be more fun for her. You really enjoyed that one Bees!
I really didn’t like it!! If you couldn’t tell 🤪
@@millie0804 I could tell "straight away!" And there is Bees sitting next to you the whole time enjoying it all over again! So, what does he have you react to next??? Worst NASCAR crashes!! Bees, are ya kiddin' me, mate!? Millie, Honey, I'm prayin' for you from across the pond here in Ohio (USA) LOL! YOU choose the next couples reaction. 😉
There was actually more college than NFL. Yes you both shoukd do more reactions! I loved hearing her reaction to American football. My fiance is from Australia and she hated when I was playing and I was a linebacker and I dished out the hits. There is a rule now where you cannot lead with your helmet or shoulder the helmet area
of your opponent. It's called targeting and is a 15 yard personal foul and the refs deem t indeed targeting tge player is automatically
Disqualified and ejected from the game but also has to sit out the 1rst half of next game.
Played where? Peewee league?
Yup peewee league. I played college ball.
There was plenty of CFL hits as well.
The whole targeting thing is so complicated because growing up we were taught to line up the tackle with the product tag above our face masks. I wore a cowboy collar as a linebacker for the fact of putting crown to chest. With today’s rules, it’s made it so much harder to be a safety or linebacker.
@@gregd6706 Yep, no fair catch in CFL!~
Never get tired of "Hear comes the boom" ! both of you is better :)
That was a great reaction video and I love seeing the two of you together in these videos. As an American I enjoye seeing people from other countries witness our culture. I'm sure it's quite maddening to some 😀
Patrick Willis was fucking terrifying as a hitting middle linebacker the first day he stepped on the field. He's a Hall Of Famer all day long, his career was just shortened by injuries.
Also loved Jon "The Beast" Beason. That was a great era of linebackers
@@RustCole01 Yep. They didn't get all the records but watch the games. They made impact.
Keep in mind most football players are +250lbs and are +6ft tall...thats alot of mass to be hitting you on every game
About 115 kilos
Really enjoying the videos with both of you, You could show her the 50 iconic foods from each state, some lost in the pond even. Or lol if you're wanting to make her cringe show her Bullriding Wrecks
Thank you!! Will definitely give those a go!
@@millie0804 You're absolutely welcome. I hope we continue to see you in the videos!!
American football is a man's game.
You are both great together! Thanks for the content.
Loved the Kam Chancellor on Vernon Davis got me the same way when I first saw it too.
Yay!!! I'm so glad y'all reacted to this one. Is your lady Millie? I'm sorry I didn't catch it on your last video together. You're an adorable couple. If you ever come to DFW in the fall let me know, I'd be honored to take y'all for some BBQ or TexMex and to a high school football game!!! Thanks for a great reaction!
Thank you so much 😊 Yes, I’m his girlfriend, of almost 5 years!! 🥰
A second for visiting the DFW area! Lots to show ya'll round here.
Great reaction. As someone with 17 years of research on the topic through personal experience, I can bring some light to this. To start off when you say "thats gotta hurt"... yes it often does. Luckily adrenaline helps out a lot and you don't feel too much until later unless it is a significant injury. Next when you said it was the head and neck ones that were the worst, you are correct. As a player, you subject yourself to hits that are the equivalent to the force in a car crash. Depending on your position you may experience this as much as 50-60 times per game. In short, it takes a special (or crazy) person to experience these things and continue to go back for years for more abuse. I have suffered multiple concussions, sprains, strains, torn ligaments, dislocated joints and even short term paralysis. It has resulted in multiple surgeries and pain on a daily basis in my spine and joints and I'm only 35. But like I said it takes a special person to love it and I wouldn't change a thing.
Love those. Remember being in high school and being excited to win an award at the end of the year they called "the bell ringer" award for best hit of the year. Literally got celebrated publicly for ending a guys season with a massive hit that sent him to the hospital and almost paralyzed him.
Thanks for posting...I truly enjoy all your content.
Love the reaction. Most of the time the hits aren't this dramatic - much more mundane wear & tear. Loved playing in high school & college, but once you hit 40 (if not before) the game starts cashing those checks your body wrote all those years ago....
I love seeing legitimate and honest reactions, ✌ ☮
What's not to love?
I love seeing both of you together reacting to videos.
I love your channel, I have never missed a video, it’s good stuff, but she is really easy on the eyes. So yeah let her come in on a regular basis. And she asks really intelligent questions and provides good commentary.
Haha thank you! ☺️
Y’all should watch an updated worst nascar crashes of all time, one that includes ryan Newman 2020 or the same video then add ryan Newman to the end
Yes we will deffo do that!
@@TheBeesleys99 There's a NASCAR version of this dubbed to the same song / beat sync - check out "NASCAR's Hardest Hits! - Here Comes the BOOM" if you get the chance!
American football , despite efforts to reduce injuries,still is dangerous. These are 200 pound plus players running at a high rate of speed when they make contact Helmets ,shoulder pads and knee pads help but not by much.Concussions are still and issue and players still suffer broken bones.
One player for the Dallas Cowboys suffered a laceration in his spleen about 9 years ago
Linda Easley:. The 200 pounders are the small guys.
Football is such an American thing and I love it. Its a sport that requires team work and strategy that just one person messing up can ruin a play or even change course of game. At same time individuals can also help carry a team to an extent that change dynamic of how you are going to play against a team. We love seeing best athletes compete but we also require a special kind of toughness not just physically but mentally as well. Its one thing to be a world class athlete but its another to deal with getting physically hit over and over again and still be able to push self to get back up, not just for your self but for your team as well. Its a struggle of heart and perseverance that some times wanting it more than the other team will be difference maker.
2:30 Those are my Spartans. That was the 2014 Cotton Bowl. The player making the hit's name is Tony Lippett. TonyLippettKillsBaylorKicker started trending to the point that the kicker had to release a statement that he was, in fact, still alive.
Hi Beesley and Hi to your better half
Hello :D
I don't know of any other sport that has more long term physical affects on the body than football. Boxing and MMA is repetitious hits, but only the strength of a single body part inflicting a hit (Punch, kick etc) Football is the inertia of hundreds of pounds at once over and over the entire body. 38 years old now, played for 8 years and I wish it was only 1 or 2 parts of my body that needs treatment.
Boxing is arguable just as bad because the gloves help prolong matches and increasing number of concussions. MMA is actually better than both because you usually only get 1 or 2 by the time the match is over
@@Dr.Spatula For concussions and the brain, I agree to an extent. I would rather fight 10 rounds in a boxing match than cathc a single helmet to helmet shot from Ray Lewis. I'm speaking more on the entire body and the infliction of a single punch from a fist to a kidney as opposed to a 250lb missile using full shoulder to the kidney.
Your guest needs to be permanent. Not only does she adds a nice feature to your channel, but she has some of the best facial reactions to the video(s).
Hahaha I feel like I just cringed the whole time 😂😂
Enjoyed both of you doing reactions. Keep them coming!!
For less violence you guys can react to baseball: best infield throws, best outfield throws, longest home runs, baseball fights, etc. For a different kind of violence baseball head shots and best home plate collisions. Also for sheer athleticism, Fernando Tatis Jr Most Acrobatic Plays.
BORING
@@ViolentKisses87 Yes you are.
@@ViolentKisses87 why did you describe yourself?
@@ViolentKisses87 agreed. For MLB excitement equivalent you could also watch paint dry.
I like how folks say less violence, but my son plays both football & baseball. 2 concussions, a broken ankle, 2 broken fingers, black eye, cut arm...all from baseball. Not a scratch from football 😂
When you're at the game and you're seeing this live a lot of these hits don't look as bad as they do on the film version
I played linebacker i can say blasting anybody with the ball in hand was awesome. Always make it a point to run through them.
Was hit like this a few times from what we called hospital passes. The ringing in my ears still exists today but i wouldn't change it for anything. Best time of my life
React to Banana Republics by Sam O'nella
Yesss
You should react to the Purdue vs 3 ranked Michigan state football game
Go PU, class of 89 here.
dislike. But hats off to Purdue. You played an outstanding game. Your QB was throwing darts out there.
It is a brutal sport, but there is no feeling quite like putting a big hit on someone in a game. The adrenaline high... The crowd getting hyped... Your teammates going crazy... I loved it!! Great video guys!
My son played football in elementary school until we moved. I watched collarbones break I watch the kid getting knocked out so hard he had to be carried off the field. We're talking about kids they're like 7 or 8 years old literally tearing each other apart on the field. Americans grow up with this kind of mentality to always be the best. That's why you have so many videos about not messing with America. All kidding aside I love your videos. You should try to get over here sometime and see what it's really like. It's actually pretty cool and most Americans really nice
Ayyyyyy first, for the first time in a longggggg time
One funny hit at my schools football homecoming game back in the 90’s was when one of our players (an amputee) got tackled so hard his prosthetic leg came off and went plying down the field. The guy who tackled him was freaking out thinking he actually hit him hard enough to tear his leg off. Everyone on our side of the bleachers and all our players, including the guy with the prosthetic leg were laughing while the opposing side was staring like we were a bunch of nutcases
I think it should be addressed how perfectly timed this song and these hits are. Awesome editing.
Y’all being from across the pond, I’m sure you’re much more familiar with rugby than football, but the best thing to always remember is the old adage “rugby is a contact sport, football is a collision sport”. It is quite comical watching people from other countries react to stuff I’ve watched my entire life. When you say “oooo, that’s a brutal hit”, we say “WOOO!!! Atta boy, nice hit baby, let’s go!!!” Lol great reaction, keep up the good work.
Very nice Beesley, you and your girl watching videos together! Awesome stuff. She must really love you to sit through some brutal football hits lol. Better bring her more flowers and jewelry my friend! :D
Hahaha 😂😂
The best with the game audio. You hear the crowds and how hype we get over a massive shot
The most thrilling is where the helmets come off. I always do a quick check to see if there's still a head in it. 😂
Both of you is my choice for reactions!
You are great together for a while yall looked like comedy and tragedy while watching!
I am not going to lie, that may be the best edited music video ever made.
Our football is different….fun being at the games,you hear those hits- 🔥🔥🔥
My nephew plays and I went to one of his games and to see him hit one of those times players like that was crazy. He was a lot bigger than my nephew too. I am not much of a fan myself but I go watch my nephews. Some of them really get hurt too.
Best part is when the whole crowd reacts with OOHHHH!
Rewatching this again and the statement "We're gonna show the most brutal, hopefully" still cracks me up🤣
Best part about this sport is after smashing into each other and destroying their bodies for 3 hours they all come together at the end of the game to shake hands and laugh in the middle of the field
Unlike other sports where the players just walk off immediately when the game ends
No, we need both of you in the reaction.
Your back and forth is great! :)
yes love the reaction video love to see more of the both of you
The real amazing part is seeing those players in real life. They look like toys on a field from that far away, but most of those guys are 250lbs of pure muscle that can run at near olympic sprinter speeds.
Her expressions was like why.. Why are they doing that ? Lol I'm in US so it's an every day thing here !
By the prior videos like, Worst NASCAR Wrecks, NFL Biggest hits, PBR Worst wrecks. And Military videos you both have entertained us with. Being an American I can only assume that you must think of us as absolutely Mental. And you wouldn't be wrong lol, we play hard , work hard and always look beyond the horizon. I served my country with pride and i will do it again but is our friends that complete the picture. I have a healthy respect for GB for their tenacity, intelligence, and knowing what dog is in their corner if the need arises. Keep up the good work mates.
Cheers.
⅓ of my high school football team was compromised of the basketball team getting ready for the basketball season. I played TE/DE. Loved it. Did some hitting, and got hit sometimes. Good times.
Despite all the pads, helmet, mouthpiece, and protective gear, we in the States call these hits “getting blown up”, and it really hurts. The protective gear is a double-edged sword… it softens the blow a bit, but it also allows the person that had bad intent to hit you that much harder.
I love it when Millie joins you!
I remember when everybody thought rugby was the tougher of the sports because the NFL players wear a helmet……Boy were we wrong!
Just never realized it was a weapon for absolute destruction! 🤯
Her face starts off pleasantly smiling and as the video progresses it turns down into a horrified frown 🤣😂🤣
Just graduated high school and i gotta say football tames under the friday night lights are gunna be the thing ill miss the most….i already miss it😪
It’s cool to see both of you reacting together.
My brother played high school football. They got win stickers for their helmets. He was the only one with a skull and cross bones for putting one in the hospital with a tackle
Not sure if you realized this, but the was a mix of Pro, college, and some high school hits.
Continue doing videos with you both. You work really well together.
Like the reactions you have going on. I think this will be a great addition to your collection, Nastiest Jukes In NFL History..
I love her comment "protective clothing" lmao
Our kids usually start playing at about age five years and train and play at least through high school. Some of those were high school, middle school and children’s league games. Football is no joke here. Especially in the south.
Love how the boom’s are perfectly timed with the hit’s
In America we used to have a doll called Mrs Beasley from the 1960s sitcom "Family Affair". Hope we get the British version someday. Good luck
Imagine aha!
I love y'all reaction and we love our football over here
I love the little kid 1 near the end its great
Us regular people can play flag football where you wear a belt with a flag attached by Velcro on each hip. When you’re playing you go for the flag to signify a “tackle” so there is no physical contact.
I played football and was one of the Defenseive Tackle players and loved it! I was built like a train, so I was pretty good! My only problem is when I got moving it took me a little bit to get stopped when I didn't have a defensive tackle to do! There where times I actually apologized to the recieving player of an tackle because I concerned for them! It is a brutal game, but the friendship we typically had with each player was very awesome! I played in the 90's and the players now tell me it's not like a family like it was when I was in it! I hope I was told wrong, I truly do! Teamwork is extremely important! I love this channel and you both doing the channel together is what is bringing more viewers because in the US, doing things as a couple like you both are is rare sadly in the US! If you look throughout CZcams and those that do stuff about the USA, the channels that are killing it is families and couple's! 🇺🇸 You both should do a reaction video on the USA flag about the history, what the stars and stripes mean! You would have thousands of views due to the patriotism here! 🇺🇸! Love from the USA and may God bless you both and your veiwers! 🇺🇸
Yes! I love watching Millie’s reactions. She needs to be your partner in all your videos. Y’all are great as a team. Very funny! BTW I’m an American and I love you Brits! Of all the countries, the UK, Australia and Canada… we’re all cousins.
Keep doing the couple vids!
Lol I love this video. Your reactions are so awesome. I don’t want to be rude, but my goodness she is gorgeous! The both of you wincing at the same time cracks me up! Yes, please have her on with you more!
Aww thank you 🥰
I love the video! I played football, both offense and defense and have been on both sides of these hits. That being said, it’s not the pain of the hit that sucks but the after effects of them, like concussions. I’ve had multiple and suffer from chronic migraines and light sensitivity still and that’s after almost 20 years after my last game I played.
Football... Loved playing. Still paying for it 30 + years later though lol. I heard football described by my coaches actually as: "A series of car crashes". I played the line, both on offense as the left tackle and on defense I usually played nose guard we called the position. Basically I lined up on the center, right in the middle of the line. I loved playing the line. Every snap of the ball, collisions. As nose, most times I was double and occasionally triple teamed. It was a challenge. In 11th grade, on a hit low after the play was over, my knee was actually broken. Tore my ACL, MCL and the tip of my fibula had a piece snapped off. In senior year, sprained the same friggin knee. The doc, who at the time was the Pittsburgh Steelers ortho doctor told me to quit football or lose the ability to walk. I was told I had beginning arthritis. He was right, I did. With a redo, I'd play all over again.
There were college, highschool, and junior games in that video. It was more than NFL. And those hits result in a pretty massive penalty. In college any of those hits result in the player being ejected from the game.
I was 6'3" 170lbs & played as a tight end in high school. Our QB was 5'8". I was tough & flexible, I always had these rising passes that had me off the ground & stretching for the ball, and a line backer aiming for my mid-section from the front & another aiming for my spine from the back. The greatest offensive play for me, even if I didn't catch the ball, was to twist in mid-air and have those two guys collide at full speed. Invariably one would be walking wounded, sometimes both. Also did kick off returns & pass rushes on defense. Got my jaw broken two weeks in a row. Never played again. After the first jaw break when the zebra got to me I already had seven kicks to the head on the guy who broke my jaw & I was ejected. When I got back from the locker room I went to their bench where he was sitting with no helmet on & broke his nose. SOB did it on purpose. It was a kick off & went to the other side. I wasn't even involved in the play. F**k him he never looked the same.
Getting tackled in the NFL is the equivalent of being in a car accident
The girls in my family played High School Football. Took those hit's just like a man. And gave them right back. Never back down. Never give up. Family Motto.
This was just the hardest hits so it looked super rough. Football is a tough sport but not all hits are that intense. Most of those hits the players either took a minute and then got back up and continued to play or they got checked by medical (which is right there) and got back in the game later. Most of those men are over 6 feet tall and are anywhere from 230 pounds to 330 pounds.
the one clip i always see in these compilations is kenny bell just leveling that wisconsin defender in the big 10 championship (2nd clip). I remember watching that and the announcers were beside themselves that it was called a penalty. nowadays it would probably be targeting or something.
I like to watch people's reaction to first watching these hits. But I never actually see the reactions because I end up watching the hits the whole time. Lol
