Booche Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I still cant read an online/printed report. The Gene Upshaw first presented to me was a recently former Raider back in the early 80's. I had just become a fan and he sounded nasty-as-fuck as a player. From what I witnessed he did the game as hard as he did being the head of the NFLPA. He pissed off everybody. I mean everybody, teamates included but he did what he believed was right and that is all anyone should care about. Respect was a guarantee.I didnt know him, never met him but was learned of a cat who followed his own path. It was one of my first lessons.
