leaving comments is so cool you do then forget about 'em then

someone comments back and you get to go back and see cool tubes again ...

and comments ...

just would like to add gale sayers as a strong contender for #2 alltime bear

hell even maybe tie for #1 w/ the one & only walter payton

and hey to anyone who comments here it's a privilege to be among #46 fans

what a character that dude was ... smart handsome funny and a t-o-t-a-l gridiron

badass

46 ftw always

@JustAintthatWay I remember watching Plank power cleaning a pair of 100lb dumbells for 23 reps on a sports newscast with Johnny Morris in Chicago. Power cleaning is like curling the weight except you bend your legs when lifting the weight. Go pick up a 100lb dumbell and you realize why Plank was able to hit so hard.

@UpperRegister not sure that was possible my man

only know i dont/didnt envy any receiver going over the middle when

either of those two alpha junk yard dogs were patrolling the secondary

no sirree no envy whatsoever

doug plank todd bell shaun gayle ... all osu to chgo bear only wish

tatum had worn blue&orange instead of black&silver

total respect and admiration for all of 'em a real privilege to have gortten to watch

them do their thing

[JustAintthatWay]

@UpperRegister yeah i remember it it was a 100# dumbell

in each hand during arm curls like 10 reps - it was like igor the russian strongman stuff - totally unreal insane strength

@tommieturner23 as far as all time bears

walter will always be #1

hampton just may be #2 (that #2 spot race is

about a 10 way minimum photo finish too close to call (choose)

but plank ... well he'll just be '46' it's only the coolest defensive

scheme ever thought up! no need to be '1' or '2'

we loved plank the guy was simply deranged on a football field

not out of control deranged d-e-a-d-l-y deranged

he seems as cool off the field too long live #46

and thnx for the 'tube

[MegaSmarterthanyou]

i remember plank and fencik .........man when they played..... watching my tv , it got very "dark"..... it was scary as a 15 year old.......all i knew was i loved it ....

[jsledgehammer]

Doug looks like he could still kick some ass.

[danielrause]

He must have been revered- they named the "46" defense after his jersey #. He played high school football with my Uncle at Norwin High School, North Huntingdon, Pa.

[alabamapianoman]

Yes...spinal cord compression.

Gee, I wonder how that could have happened? ;)

"What Doug Plank does borders on fanticism. I'm aggressive, but I'm no fanatic." - Jack Tatum

Tatum thought Doug Plank was the craziest, baddest motherfucker who ever stepped onto a football field.

For years, I sat at the very top of the north end zone with my cheap-ass season tickets. I vividly remember Plank making tackles that sounded like death being dealt. Not that usual helmet clashing crack, but that deep, ominous thud that sounded like the life being taken from someone.
