Tom Brady would do that today Maybe not punch at least a slap ha ha
He never has.
Neither did Montana, Bradshaw, Staubach, Rodgers, Brees, Manning, Elway, Marino etc. etc. etc. Neither did Graham, Unitas, Starr, Dawson, Luckman, Baugh, etc. etc. etc.
In fact no one does that.
Of the thousands of qbs who have played in the NFL, one was named. No one else.
Yet you guys somehow think it's common and acceptable.
...
Bobby Layne won 3 Championships with the Lions. He was outspoken, a leader, and a winner. So he had that tough guy personality. And it worked for him in that environment. Judging people according to todays standards is folly.
And we don't know everything about how players behaved before the 60's. I've heard stories of Van Brocklin berating his OL, Unitas as well. But Layne was a different breed all together.
My guess is that 100 years from now that the way we see things will be viewed as barbaric by that society.
