James Brooks would have punched Chad "right in the face" if Ochocinco tried to pull anything

Many have accepted the realities of the modern NFL wide receiver; a whole lot of me, some of the team. We figured, touchdowns outweigh a dignified public persona that doesn't have the antagonists saturating an already watered-down argument. When you get right down to it, team, team, team. If we have a bunch of average guys winning ten games who don't say a bleep, we'll take that. Four wins, a lot of quotes, some nifty dance move; well, not so much.

One old school player (if the 80s are considered old school) who doesn't care for anything Chad does off the football field, is James Brooks. Chick Ludwig writes that Brooks' "era would’ve never tolerated Ochocinco’s antics."

“I would’ve been arrested for assault right in the locker room,” Brooks said. “The first time (Chad) tried to pull anything, I’d have walked up to him and punched him right in the face. Football is a team game. The team comes first. Individuals come second.”

Just goes to show you, that attitude of "old school" no longer exists. So do we keep fighting it? Or just accept it? Not that we're trying to characterize Chad or anything.

I suppose it’s possible that it happened behind closed doors but I really have top wonder why someone like Big Willie, John Thornton, or, more recently, Whit, didn’t do just that to Chad back when he first started acting like he was bigger than the team. You know someone like Ray Lewis would never have put up with it. Not for a minute. So, I guess this locker room really shares some of the blame for the monster.

Jimmy Brooks

Let me start off my decreeing that I thought James Brooks was a stud…on the field.

But the last I heard, this dude’s illiterate. Literally. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I really hope I am.

But I sort of come from the school of thought that if you can’t F’ing read or write, then you have no business questioning anyone. About anything.
