Don't know if this was posted.............. The search for Brian Bosworth http://seattletimes.com/html/seahawks/2012624... Brian Bosworth created a persona and pioneered a new age of slickly marketed superstars. Twenty years after . I was one of his biggest fans, I still have his 44 blues sunglasses case and all.....wow unreal.

This thread will probably end up over 100 pages. The Times article was chok-filled with mystery and intrigue. Someone really dug deep for this story. I mean...who knew he went to Oklahoma and his career shortened by injury?? I smell a pulitzer.

It's easy to write articles. Put on sweat pants, ctrl+c, ctrl+v, type name, submit, watch divorce court, eat hot pockets.

i liked Stone Cold, thought he was actually a decent actor.. They need to make a movie about this, though i think no one outside of Seatltle and Oklamhoma would watch it...

I would love to see Boz raise the 12 Flag before a game. I loved him as I was growing up

Say what you want too about the Boz, I would take the story of the Boz over Manti Teo's imaginary girlfriend or Cam Newton's dad trying to get paid.
The Boz wanted to be great, and believed he would be great. I'm sure this probably made him an insufferable douche but most of us won't get the chance to even know what it feels like to even touch fame.
I'm in no way defending him but something we love to do in america is completely take apart a 'star' for their shortcomings and failures to the point where it gets even older than the act you're criticizing them for.
One thing I can say watching the Boz as a kid, say what you want about him - he didn't want to get hurt, he wanted to be great, he wanted to win. He didn't want to be out of the league with an injury as a joke. He may have 'cashed in' but i never got the feeling he wanted to get paid and walk away not giving a crap what anyone thought.
