Just to clarify, towards the end I say years later after he retired, in 2013. That's when the interview takes place, not when he retired. Just didn't say it very clearly. Anyways, Enjoy!

I went to work last week with a bad case of the sniffles. Not bragging.

Broken leg Greg Jennings. He's got his team on his back.

Coach: break a leg
Jack: don’t worry I got you

Funny story. I was at the gym one day and this pretty big dude in his maybe 40s or 50s comes up to me and nods at my pop Warner shirt and starts talking to me about football. After chatting for a bit we both went back to working out. My dad comes up to me and says do you know who that is? I shook my head and he said that’s Jack Youngblood. The guys a badass.

And don't forget the best Jack Youngblood quote when asked why he played with a broken leg: "Why not? It wasn't bleeding and the bone wasn't sticking out." Hahahaha!

I know Jack, he is from my hometown Monticello Fla. I interviewed him on my radio show before he was drafted by the Rams, nice Guy.

Jack Youngblood, what a fuckin beast. Nobody compares to him in toughness

There are not many if any people who played with heart like Jack Youngblood. I am 55 years old and I saw him play a few games at the Colosseum in LA in the year 1979 and he was impressive. A person could hear the contact from the stands. He was a tough and dedicated man.

Youngblood pronounced morphine wrong, the way he said it, sounds like he said aspirin

[scotmorley]

I worked with a guy who had gout in his left foot and a broken bone in his right foot he had a busy job being on his feet all day 10 hour shifts five days a week he did some complaining but never missed a day he had a family to look out for thats what I call tough

Loved Jack Youngblood ! When the Rams had their practice field and offices in Anaheim, I used to go watch through the fence. I watched Jack pushing a sled all over the field by himself. It was a linemans sled with like 4 dummy to hit. Had lunch where a lot of the team would go. Jack Youngblood, Jackie Slater, Leroy Irvin and others.
Big guys who were mean on the field but nice as heck to me. Wish they stayed in Anaheim. Was a die hard fan. When they moved to St. Louis now back in LA. I bet against all the way now. The field and office were on my way home. I took a OCTD Bus to work for a long time as we could not afford a car yet. With my bus pass I could stop and get back on at anytime. I miss those fun days.

Hey KTO, I don't know if you take recommendations, but if you do, I highly suggest making a video about Rocky Bleier. His story is remarkable. First off, he was a 16th round pick, which back then was essentially a pity pick. Then he gets drafted into the Army to go fight in Vietnam, where he was wounded by an enemy grenade, which caused him to lose part of his right foot. Then he goes on to win 4 Super Bowls with the Steelers in the 1970s. And later, he received both the Bronze Medal and the Purple Heart. I'm not even a Steelers fan, but the man is a legitimate bad ass, and is one of the greatest football stories I've ever read.

I remember that game. He was a beast. He played so well, you didn’t know he broke his leg. It was like Emmitt Smith having a dislocated shoulder against the Giant. Just epic. Guys like that don’t exist in the nfl anymore.

Madden: The max toughness is 99

Jack Youngblood: I don’t care about the rules

[BrankoP]

Kurt Angle won a gold olympic medal with a broken, frickin neck. Oh its true, its DAMN true!!!

[montagelife]

Me: * coughs *
Also me: I’m sick can I go home?

[autiebell]

I grew up a L.A. Rams fan. Youngblood was my favorite player. He was what was right about football.

[aarnavkolli]
