Eric Dickerson describing meeting David Stanley

[gochr1s]

every TIME i see this on ESPN, I gain infinitely more respect for Eric...best comeback lines ever.

[InLikeFlint3]

"He kep on with this "You aint that big shit" I pulled him to the side, and I told him Just like this, I said LOOK you M.F." hahahahahahaahah!!!

[DMan6500]

One more thing, I don't blame Eric Dickeron one bit for getting David Stanley's face. I can't see an NFL player taking crap from a high school player. Dickerson straight-up owned Stanley that night.

[DMan6500]

Eric Dickerson was right on target about David Stanley. Even one of his former teammates said he did not do much to help the team and was always injured.

[AHawkins25]

:28 - :36 is old school right there and Eric (without a doubt) would have beaten his punk-ass up. If someone kept saying the same thing to us, we would have done and said the same thing Dickerson did.

[SeanP7195]

Problem here is Dickerson never revealed what he got from SMU and states "it's a dead subject", but he's got no problem discussing what A&M or Oklahoma or UT offered.

[Nbuck55]

@SeanP7195 has nothin' to do w/ this video...they should have tried harder

[uponthisrock32]

Man, I'll bust you up. You in high school. I play in the NFL.  Classic. Muhahahahaha

[WatchVenusSpa]

@uponthisrock32 I never liked Eric Dickerson but he earned the right to talk like that. He's in the HOF now as well so double bragging rights and double respect.

[schuhbdoo]

@uponthisrock32 David Stanley got 25k to sign. Dickerson and James got zero! RIGHT!!!!! Dickerson say in the same clip, those guys at SMU know how to hide it all. They are really good at hiding it. Texas A & M, not so much with the new car. This is sickening.

[WatchVenusSpa]

@uponthisrock32 Correction Dickerson's not just an NFLer, he's a MF HOFer!!!

[buster60341]

Eric Dickerson will kick David Stanley ass.

[ccislander07]

@buster60341 well, David Stanley is dead now...

[buster60341]

@ccislander07 I know that David Stanley is dead now but Eric Dickerson was taking about the past.

[clipobserver]

Dickerson is 6'3" and Stanley was 6'0". How come they didn't listen to their biggest name in the program (well one of them at least)? Also Dickerson said he wasn't going to talk about what he got. Meaning he got some gifts.

[schuhbdoo]

@clipobserver Dickerson said, do not recruit this guy!!!. Why? He was no good. Meaning, he won't play along with our rules. This statement by Dickerson, while not conclusive, shows that there was a culture of cheating going on at SMU. WTF is Dickerson around in 83/84 recruiting on behalf of SMU. No one seems to ask that question. He and James are dirty. If David Stanley got 25k to sign, what did Dickerson and James get???

Million dollar question!!!

[WatchVenusSpa]

@schuhbdoo In 1984 Dickerson was easily the biggest star in the NFL and from a recruiting standpoint that's a HUGE selling point for any high school player. Imagine if Tom Brady came to your door to sell you on his alma mater. And in retrospect, he was right, Stanley WAS bad news for SMU and their culture at that time.

[sriig]

All it woulda done was delay the inevitable...even if Stanley never went to SMU, or if he had never snitched...with as much money as had been changing hands inside SMU football during that time, there was BOUND to be someone who at any given time received the short end of the stick somehow, and was marginalized/malcontented enough to snitch. 

[rockbottom56]

It's not like Dickerson was clean either.

[redmustang03]

Well that's what drugs and alcohol ultimately do to you.

[redmustang03]

Whatever happened to David Stanley?

[RickBizzy]

@redmustang03 he died in 2005 at age 41

[losangelescardinals]

@redmustang03 He ratted out the program because they didn't play him, because he sucked

[redmustang03]

@losangelescardinals still you don't pay players and Stanley was more like a scorned lover. So when SMU screwed him in his mind then he basically thought if I'm going down I'm taking you with me. What SMU did was illegal and it eventually someone was going to rat him out.

[mjwpowerstroke]

Man, character and respect does matter. SMU should have listened to E.D.

[SuperWiseyoung88]

I agree with that one.

[Jeezeuschrist]

They should have taken his advice and stayed away from this POS.
