The DUMBEST PLAYER in NFC Divisional Round HISTORY

[@wozborne88]

That feature presentation was genius! That was such a great buildup that even Lincoln Financial put money into it (KZbin ad break during the feature presentation animation)! Also glad you gave credit to at least a couple fans, John Jacobs and Rory Young! On a serious note, great work as always. Just shows one has to be careful and confident in themselves on what they say.

[@OfficialJaguarGator9]

Thanks! That was up there with the most fun I've ever had making a part of any video (up there with the Bingo Long rant)

[@thomascrowley9122]

Neither team had 200 yards of offense in this game. Skins 157 Bucs 186

[@James_St._James]

Westbrook was the guy that caught Kordell's Hail Mary for Colorado.

[@marcusmcgraw3519]

And it tricked a team into drafting him in the top 10

[@RobertJohnson-hq6jq]

And sucker punched his teammate Stephen Davis during practice

[@Unpackaged_Vinyl]

To be fair, when he was drafted, they thought he was the next Michael Irvin. That was a pretty good comparison at the time. The potential was there but just needed a more no nonsense coach than Norv Turner. He could've been special but needed to be reigned in. Michael Irvin had Jimmy Johnson. Westbrook didn't. That's where coaching becomes the difference maker because it builds culture.

[@GregLyons-k7b]

Yes he was then play for my redskins

[@e93sports80]

Michael Westbrook played his last season (2002) with the Cincinnati Bengals.

[@OfficialJaguarGator9]

You got it

[@Jason_Maier]

1. Year One of the Dan Synder error; still the only season where the Commanders won a playoff game at FedEx Field. 2. Michael Westbrook and Stephen Davis had a fight during training camp in 1997. 3. Then that season, Westbrook removed his helmet, getting an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty which cost the Redskins a chnace to possibly get an OT Field Goal against the Giants. That was also the game where Gus Frerrotte whiplashed himself.

[@vaccinatedanti-vaxxer]

The culture is damn good

[@davidpeters2625]

Michael Westbrook, despite coming before my time, constantly wrote checks with his mouth that his play on the field could never cash.... so fitting that he finished his career in Cincinnati.....

[@beezy22]

Redskins/Buccaneers:2000 NFC Division Round:this was a fantastic game and Dan Turk’s final game when he passed away from cancer December 2000……RIP Dan Turk….side note:When Michael Westbrook trashed talked Tampa days before the game, I’m like Mike what are you thinking?!…..you’re forever remembered for three things:1.catching the Kordell Stewart Hail Mary Pass Against Michigan in 1994…..2.getting into it with Stephen Davis in 1997 NFL Training Camp….3.not having a good game against Tampa in the 99-00 NFL playoffs……Also RIP Steve White (1973-2022)…….

[@aaronholcomb237]

I feel bad for Turk because the last snap of that game and of his life was a bad snap that cost Washington that game. About Westbrook, I also remember a fight between Colorado and the Miami Hurricanes in 1993. I don't know who started or participated in it, but I thought Westbrook was involved in it. I know the NCAA changed the rules about fighting as a result about suspending players involved in such a fight.

[@beezy22]

@@aaronholcomb237truth and 💯……plus I read the reason why Dan Turk (RIP) struggled snapping the football in his last season and it was revealed that he had a tumor in his chest through the 1999 NFL season…..as for Michael Westbrook, hadn’t heard from him through the years except he was on spike tv’s pro Vs joes tv show…

[@david-468]

I doubt you thought that at the time considering that was barely “trash talk” he basically said THIER d Line is so good there secondary is average in comparison aka attack the coverage not the line, guess what the redskins did this game RAN THE BALL which was so dumb

[@dylynrussell8237]

Cincinnati was the team Michael Westbrook played for in 2002 (Did they get him through Trade or Free Agency?), his final season in the NFL. Also looked a bit into his stint with Brazilian Jiu-Jitzu a few years after he left the league. I find it interesting seeing what former players did after their NFL careers ended, since you can find things you wouldn’t think about, especially if the player is otherwise obscure. It helps us remind ourselves that players are people just like all of us and that by researching this, we learn about players that time would’ve forgotten about.

[@msarzo]

This is exactly the kind of thing that would've pissed Joe Gibbs off if he were coaching Washington. He'd probably have lit into Westbrook (by Gibbsian standards) and might've made him a healthy scratch.

[@randytracy1742]

You’re right about that!

[@marcus813]

Making Westbrook a healthy scratch could've helped Washington because he was dead weight against the Bucs even before this game.

[@JonPITBZN]

Michael Westbrook was definitely dumb. This is far from his only incident, and far from his dumbest. He played for some pretty dysfunctional Washington teams and he was their chief moron.

[@Unpackaged_Vinyl]

This was the beginning of the Daniel Snyder error. This was a championship contender that he tore apart with meddling and overpaying over the hill free agents. This team was on the rise. Stephen Davis, Brad Johnson and Albert Connell was a solid core on offense.

[@j.b9346]

This was my first season I watched entirely of Washington… It was a fun season and I’ve been watching ever since. It was sad what Snyder did tearing the team apart the following year. On a side note, I waited so long for Snyder to sell and I still can’t believe it actually happened… Hopefully better years are to come

[@Unpackaged_Vinyl]

Cheers! I'm looking forward to the draft.

[@vaccinatedanti-vaxxer]

Pathetic this was Synder’s first and best season. Last time the stadium was called jack Kent Cooke before it changed to fedex. They had all sorts of characters in the team: Brad johnson, Steven Davis, Brian Mitchell, Darrell green. Added Bruce smith, Deion sanders, Lavar Arrington. It was all down hill for Synder’s tenure from here.

[@RicoCosta317]

Westbrook is right up there with TO and Chad 85 and AB in the bigmouth diva's Hall of Fame, WR category. But at least the others had the stats to back up their mouths.

[@toddbiesel4288]

Calling the Bucs' secondary average? That's just mean.

[@marcus813]

I don't know what the hell Westbrook was thinking when he talked about the Buccaneers' secondary like that because the Buccaneers had the one of the best such DB rooms in modern NFL history. What he said looked asinine at the time. John Lynch being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Rondé Barber finally joining him there, Westbrook managed to look even worse. This wasn't one of those things that looks bad in hindsight. Westbrook looked bad on the spot! Lynch was being kind calling Westbrook's performance "average!"

[@JonPITBZN]

Let's be real though, John Lynch isn't in the Hall of Fame because of his ability to cover. That was his clear weakness as a player.

[@jbhalpern1]

Westbrook finished his career in Cincinnati.

[@OfficialJaguarGator9]

Winner

[@MichaelPiz]

I dunno, seems like the end of his career was set by the events of this vid, it just took three years to play out.

[@Unpackaged_Vinyl]

Westbrook also had an infamous fight with Stephen Davis in training camp. One of the few times he backed up his talk.

[@Fireyninjadog]

Ah yes, micheal westbrook. The guy who cost the game between the giants and redskins in 1997. Seriously, he had just 1 good nfl season. That season? 1999, and what a way for it to end

[@Unpackaged_Vinyl]

Skins would've made the playoffs if they would've won that Giants game in 97. Losing Gus Frerotte hurt us that season.

[@andrewgrove1691]

Giants redskins 1997. was that the gus ferrotte headbutt game?

[@Unpackaged_Vinyl]

The Sunday night game was the headbut game in Landover That game ended in a tie. We loss the second one in Giants stadium. That stadium has been a curse ever since they started playing there. 97 was the first season there.

[@kevinramsey417]

There's nothing wrong with trash talk, but you'd better back it up.

[@anthony_rivera4735]

The Redskins blew a 13-0 lead. Would they have upset the Rams if they won this game? This might be my favorite redskins team in history.

[@msarzo]

No

[@MarkVrem]

Todd Lyght and Keith lyle aside, might be a pretty average secondary

[@Unpackaged_Vinyl]

Skins would've beat the Rams that year. I've always been convinced but I guess we'll never know.

[@ningxiawolfberry]

He may have been right. Good pressure on the quarterback will make a secondary look better.

[@randytracy1742]

Westbrook’s comments about the Tampa Bay secondary backfired on him,naturally-you’d think he learned not to trash talk again,but nope ! He made himself look 👀 worse with his mouth 👄 doubling down on them! It’s fitting he ended his career with the bengals! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Michael Westbrook? Didnt he punch a teammate out. Stephen davis

[@commanderjoj6426]

I’ll always remember him for that Hail Mary catch from Kordell Stewart against Michigan.

[@press12800]

Yep

[@dondajulah4168]

Yeah, that was him. I believe Stephen Davis was an unknown rookie at the time (very low draft pick or Udfa) Edit: I looked it up and Davis was actually a 4th round draft pick so not that low. But remember this was back in the day when multiple RBs going top ten was a thing so 4th round RB meant you were headed for a ST role and probably never considered more than a bench warmer

[@marcusmcgraw3519]

Yeah, I wouldn’t have looked at it unfavorably if he hadn’t sucker punched him
