Default Bill Bates or Ronnie Lott
I just saw a clip of JERRY Jones giving Bill Bates a hug and got to thinking about the golden age of football (, to me it was the 80’s but realize the 70’s was awesome as well.)

These two were impressive every time they got one the field but Bates gets the nod from me.. Lott would be ejected the first series of each game today

Last game I watched was the Jets and Colts in Joe Namath's prime, that's how interesting it is...
