The CRAZIEST ALTERCATION in Atlanta Falcons HISTORY | Falcons @ Lions (1990)

Following a 1990 NFL week 2 game at the Pontiac Silverdome between the Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons defensive backs coach Jimmy Carr was so upset that he decided to take his frustration out in the worst possible way. He decided to try and fight a Lions fan in an elevator, which went about as well as you'd expect. If you thought Norm Van Brocklin trying to fight a reporter after the game was the only incident involving a Falcons coach trying to fight someone, think again. This is the story behind the 1990 Falcons and this bizarre incident

this reminds me of the fight Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz almost had at Ford Field. Weird how Harbaughs now the coach of michigan

It was a most humorous tiff. No fight was going to occur.

Bob Gagliano had one of the most interesting career arcs. 12th round pick in 1982 and is on the Chiefs roster for two years while throwing one pass. Out for three seasons. Plays a strike game in 1987 for the 49ers. Doesn't play in the NFL in '88. Ends up on the Lions and becomes a part-time starter for the first time at 31.

[@CTubeMan]

Yesterday it’s a car vs non-reusable nacho cheese, today it’s a Carr vs an elevator door.

[@marcus813]

I didn't know about all those design flaws. The incident between Carr and that Lions fan is proof of why fans and club personnel shouldn't share an elevator.

[@johnwiesner9590]

Look at all the empty seats in the upper deck at 2:47. This was in a six year span when the Lions didn't sell out any home games. They broke that streak in the middle of the 1991 season with a home sellout against the Cowboys.

[@stephaniegormley9982]

They couldn't even sell out a PLAYOFF game against Green Bay in 1993.

[@TimmyTickle]

The sheer size of the Silverdome will do that to you

[@johnwiesner9590]

@@stephaniegormley9982 kind of surprising since most of the time those two meet in Detroit about half of the stadium is Packers fans. The Lions do have one of the smaller fan bases in the NFL.

[@stephaniegormley9982]

@@johnwiesner9590 The thing is, the Lions got many ticket requests for that '93 game but since they were from Wisonsin, they were returned. The Lions would rather not sell out than sell to visiting fans. If that's not bad sportsmanship, I don't know what is.

[@anthonyjkenn6319]

First battle between two teams both running the Run-and-Shoot offense; with the originator of said offense, Mouse Davis, being offensive coordinator for Detroit. June Jones was OC for Atlanta; he would later replace Glanville as HC. #FYI

[@anthonyjkenn6319]

@@dallasbrubaker6054 Yup, old smash-mouth "defense and running game" Buddy didn't like that style of offense at all....as his later attempt to go upside Kevin Gilbride's head when they were in Houston can so vividly attest.

[@robz2836]

WOW what a touch down run by Barry!! Atlanta might have contained him for most of the game but that touchdown run was amazing 😍

[@encycl07pedia-]

12:49 It wasn't that amazing, especially by Barry Sanders standards: a little juke to get past the LOS and a broken tackle inside the 5.

[@robz2836]

I'm a huge lions fan. I got Directv in 94 just so I could watch the lions. I saw him live in 93 against the Patriots and that was one hell of a run.

[@drlove2172]

The Metrodome was designed in the same way. Pressbox people and “luxury suite” people all shared the lower level concourse with the regular fans. The suites didn’t even have separate bathrooms.

Nine years earlier George Steinbrenner broke his hand, reportedly in an elevator while fighting Dodgers fans, during the 1981 World Series.

[@jeffreymodzelewski1865]

[@Rockhound6165]

I'd like to see you do a story on when in the early days of the AFL when a fan came onto the field and broke up a pass and it counted. I believe it was a game between the Boston Patriots and Dallas Texans.

[@jonvisser1509]

This was the worst story ever. No footage of any fighting

[@Fireyninjadog]

1 year later, the 2 teams made the playoffs

[@jacekatalakis8316]

I figured that OSU coach who called out the media by going come after me, I'm 40, somehow was on the Falcons before that. Also, this was the era when MC Hammer was on the sidelines too, don't forget. Should have put him in for a play or two

[@msarzo]

That Aerosmith reference tho *chef's kiss* If the Falcons fired Norm Van Brocklin after his attempt to start a fight, did they do the same to Carr?

[@Tubewings]

I don't know if Carr was disciplined for this actions, but he wasn't fired. He would remain on the team until the 1993 season.

[@DolFan316]

In the fall of '89 I was a high school junior and can confirm that song was all the rage then.

[@southbeachtalent]

Hey Jaguar. Can you look up the Eagles/49ers game at Candlestick Park in 92. As an Eagles fan it always stuck out to me as a kid. There was a first down we got that was taken away after the refs repositioned the ball about a yard back for no reason. Of course this was during that gray period after they got rid of instant replay and before they brought it back. Cost us the game. Me, as a 7 year old knew it was complete b.s, and I didn't know a lick about gambling yet. But something was VERY WRONG about that game

[@mrg8581]

NFL Huddles Lions mascot on the sideline by the end zone. 4:35. NFL should bring back huddles mascots.

[@stevenbauer4799]

that is nothing. '70's several b's went into the stands at msg to fight rag fans leading mike milbury to remove a shoe from one of them and beat him with it. also with gagliano and mouse davis the lions silver stretch offense was under way.

This 1990 Falcons team at times seemed to care more about acting tough than winning football games. Glanville was trying to instill an attitude into an identity-less team but they went just 2-7 in games decided by seven points or less. What they really needed was more attention to detail and less of the tough guy act.

[@DolFan316]

Jerry Glanville and Buddy Ryan were basically the same person: guys who acted tough instead of being tough (yes, there's a difference) whose teams always came apart like a cheap suit in the postseason. At least Ryan lied about his age to serve during World War II so he's got that going for him.
