Linebackers and running backs are the most violent people in football. I remember a linebacker named Curtis cut down a fan who got onto the field and tried to run off with the football. DARN! Noone ever tried that again.

On the other hand, if you know where your wide receiver lives, fire him.

Ah yes. You're referring to Mike Curtis of the old Baltimore Colts who layed out a very intoxicated fan back in the 70's. That was a great moment.

I take you speak of "The Player" as we now call him since we cannot bear to speak his name and Parcells has almost exclusively alludes to him as such: I don't know his whereabouts.

I grew up in Baltimore as a huge Baltimore Colts fan. Mike Curtis was just one, mean, hard-hitting linebacker in the mold of Jack Lambert and Dick Butkis. That is one of my all-time favorite highlights.

The guy jumps onto the field, sprints out in between the huddles, grabs the ball and starts running for the opposite sideline. Curtis turns around, sees him grab the ball, and just lays him flat with a forearm shiver. It's classic.

I would imagine there may have been a little alcohol involved on the part of the misguided fan...
