Dick Butkus and Deacon Jones, Part 1

[@johnnyjohnson157]

My wife was very good friends with Deacon Jones. She misses him dearly. He was one of the nicest guys ever.

[@QMPhilosophe]

I'm in awe...two of my favorite players from my childhood. Tough as nails, took the game seriously, and played with dignity.

[@bailinnumberguy]

Dick Butkus was the most ferocious player ever to step on a football field. He didn't try to tackle a guy, he tried to bury him. Deacon revolutionized the position of defense end.

[@EMoneyDJ]

"We're in a football game." Great words from Mr. Jones.

[@fabrizzzio48]

Wonderful meeting. Mr. Deacon Jones, a gentleman, may his soul rest in peace. He was honest and sincere, to the end and on. Thanks Dr. Santora, for this effort. Thumbs up to Mr. Butkus, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Dick butkus looks AMAZING for his age

[@zipfen]

Oh man how cool are these two dudes. We miss you dearly Deacon Jones.

[@shaveyh10]

Two of my favorite football players when I was growing up... I got to meet Butkus long after he was retired. They were both mean ON the field, but few are/were classier OFF the field...

[@dicktracy1989]

I grew up loving both of these guys as NFL players. David "Deacon" Jones was awarded outstanding defensive down lineman in both 1967 and 1968 by the NFL players association. Dick Butkus, also an unmatched icon of NFL power who helped shape the stance of defensive importance, makes me appreciate this video even more. One word describes both of these football players: Studs.

"It was a straight lick upside your head"LOL.I can always count on Deac for a hilarious quote.

[@kokonutt99]

[@7Roeth]

No comments? Shoot I'll be the first. Dick Butkus and Deacon Jones are legend all stars. What a pair of gentleman. R.I.P Sweet Deacon. (Yes I just called Decon Jones sweet, cuz underneath it all, he was.)

[@manny4552]

[@KeyserContent]

It's like listening to the God of football R.I.P Deacon Jones

[@guitarmusic524]

"I'm not too proud of it (the head slap)...not that I wouldn't do it the same way again..." - Deacon Jones. Haha!!!

[@redhead5150]

The only linebacker that had that Butkus attitude was Jack Lambert. Count Dracula was Lambert.

[@damnyankeeyankee6812]

I used to watch Deacon Jones and he was an amazing football player and larger than life. Though we miss him, he's now playing football again with the other legends in Football. And being a Lions fan, I used to watch in fascination as Dick Butkus destroy football players on the field. Some of the most devastating hits I've ever seen over the decades belong to Dick Butkus.

[@KmT81]

Butkus,Bubba Smith(R.I.P)and also Fred Dryer too was a player.

[@SilkyP]

Aw man RIP Deacon so cool

[@iTruth1]

real football players RIP Deacon Jones.

Dick Butkus actually doesn't look like football really affected his health.

[@TheYoungweezy23]

I was wondering hopefully someone can reply that knows. Did Deacon have any severe illness or was sick that day because he seemed really off to me or was it just his age? Really want to know not trying to be rude or anything RIP Deacon. And Dick Butkus is amazing Beardown

I share the same birthday with both(December 9).

[@josephjoyce3457]

They both share my birthday.(December 9).

[@theoriginalbadbob]

Butkus slammed Roman Gabriel into the ground several times in this video. George Allen's daughter has two sons, named Roman and Deacon.

[@222333aaaaaa]

Deacon Jones did look like he was on death's door

[@mikenickerson9640]

[@drbonesshow1]

Did Dick knock out Deacon's tooth before the interview?
