A Flem... shout out to your Bengals bro.... last time yall was smoking at receiver like this.... which is why I wanted to ask... after a black history special on Doug Williams and Warren Moon... do one for your boys playoff appearance remind the world about the most under appreciated receiver core the football gods blessed us with... Chad Ochocinco/ TJ Houzmanzada/ and R.I.P. Chris Henry.
A wise man once told me, “when you do good, they barely remember, but when you do bad they NEVER forget”. Hold your head D Hall you’re a legend in this game regardless
The caveat is DeAngelo set himself up. Every man is bound to mess up. What you do leading up to that moment & in that moment is what they'll never forget. If he got mixed up without ever getting Nuk riled up, it wouldn't have been as bad.
As a lifelong Washington fan who couldn’t be happier about your Bengals making it to the big game, thanks for this video. D Hall is a treasure in Washington and is universally loved by fans and Virginians here
This is one of the storys that i always enjoy having conversations about. Players like DeAngelo Hall always EXPOSE the casual fans of this generation who think viral MOMENTS define a players career. Hall one of of the best defensive backs of his time. Those who understood football know how good his was... But these new generation fantasy football fairweather madden statistic driven fans don't care about your body of work... Only about how viral a player is. Helluva video Flemlo!
That said, he was a monster on Madden 07' & 08'. I thought he was one of the best CBs in the NFL in his time. I must've missed all the chirping from the talking heads.
@@Nalon.1242 you completely nailed it. DeAngelo Hall had his 5-7 years where he was lockdown and a pro bowler. He also got routed my a future All NFL player.
11:08 Roddy White. Reggie White was an Eagle, Packer, and Panther. The dude was next-level beast on the field, a Super Bowl champ, and a very good man off of the field. I also own two of his books. Honest mistake; similar names.
Always good. I'm looking forward to the Donald Driver piece, I went to Packer football camps growing up. Donald played quarterback for our team, he threw me a touchdown and ran and picked me up. He had some of the most genuine good energy I've ever experienced. I always thought nationally people didn't get a chance to see how great he was at wide receiver.
He wasn’t as big as many during his time because he wasn’t out causing trouble and pr problems like several big name receivers of his time. I miss Donald, he is a class act and Im glad I grew up watching him
That has to be a crazy feeling to grow up watchin Mike Vick than following his footsteps to the same university THAN drafted to the same NFL roster as him 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I didn't realize that people were summing up DeAngelo Hall's career with this one play, he was one of the nicest players of the 2000s, he was a beast in Madden games too not just as a corner but as a returner too, I guess it shows how quick people forgot and how younger generations don't know their history.
Same, like for me - i was a big football fan, (primarily college, but also NFL), back in the 2000's, but when my Raiders showed they could never rebuild from that post Gannon collapse and then my Michigan Wolverines being total dogshit after ditching coach Carr, i really kinda gave up watching football for a while. Thankfully Michigan has finally started to be consistently good again so i've started watching football again the last couple years - so i sorta missed everything that happened from like '09 till just a couple years ago. So I had never even heard of this vid until this video, but remember Hall being a fuckin killer back in the 2000's.
Bro. I’ve been threw damn near every one of your videos and I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve seen your confidence and skills develop into what you are today….the best storyteller on TH-cam. Hell maybe of all time. I still tear up at the being of your video about the Miami hurricane player that was killed by his own teammate. Taking about his suit on draft day was his suit he’d be laid to rest in. Much love bro.
Young man, you do a fantastic job. Your depth of research, clear analysis and, most of all, the grace with which you handle those hard stories of utter failure are excellent. We all fail. Learning to come back, every damn time, is what it’s about. You teach that well. Carry on.
Saw this two years ago for the first time…just watched it again…Flemlo….you are a GIFT…I have no words…thank you for giving Lawrence the eulogy he never believed he deserved, in a world that would never have otherwise given him one…
Dude flemlo I found you on here shortly before I quit drinking and I'm glad to say partly from looking forward to your videos I've not had a drink in a year and a half
Congratulations on Cincy going to the AFC championship. This is a great change for your team. I’m a Washington fan to the bone so I know how hard it was for you year after year. Ride with it my friend.
The second Hall, (First Dante Hall), DeAngelo was lockdown before this injury, fastest corner and one of the highest rated in madden during his prime too. Thank you for this one!!!
I respect your opinion, and Deangelo was definitely solid, but nowhere near a shutdown. I'm a NFC south fan and Brees (and others) would consistently get the best of him.
@@jeremywashington4889 thats brees though bro lol alot of great corners lose that chess match against elite Qbs and great coaching look at Tom Brady and Cj Gardner Johnson
Hall was a beast at VT and I wished that the Skins had drafted him out of college. When they got him as a free agent from the Raiders I was stoked and he was a solid Redskin for years. Home grown dude playing in his home state as a pro. No matter how internet trolls remember him the dude earned his stripes and lived his dream. We should all be so lucky. Good vid Flemlo
The Tyree catch was in the Giants 07 Super Bowl win, not the 2011 one. Perhaps you’re thinking of the Manning to Manningham throw and catch? To be fair that throw was perfect, no CB in the league was covering that.
Can’t wait til you hit a million subscribers bro you deserve it. Appreciate all the time and effort you put into researching and putting these together. Great video as always
Congrats on your Bengals moving on in the playoffs. Really fun team to watch, Burrow and Chase have a chance to be a connection that can develop into an potential top combo on NFL history. Rooting for the Bengals rest of playoffs. As a Bears fan who wasn’t around when they won the SuperBowl in 1985 you guys are closer than the Bears right now.
Awesome video as always. Can’t wait for the Donald Driver episode. Dude had a really interesting life story and people really do sleep on him in terms of his ability. He was indeed a beast of an athlete. Edit: Congrats on your Bengals this year. Happy to see Chase excel especially after all the doubt this pre season. Good luck this week.
He really is and there are some great storytellers on TH-cam. I respect the hell out of flem. He definitely taught me to not be judgmental when I read headlines of athletes/celebrities etc.
True. I always find myself binge watching his videos because he does such a great job of humanizing the athletes and really giving you a different perspective.
I honestly kinda forgot about that play until this video. That’s definitely not his legacy he was a very good player in his prime. I mostly remember him being so fast at Virginia Tech & him being a top 10 pick by the Falcons.
He didn't ruin his legacy. One play from a PRACTICE when DHall was coming to the end of his career does not ruin his legacy. He was a good defensive back for many. many years, 3x pro bowler and has a jersey in the hall of fame. Really good player in his day. Anyone defining his legacy from one play in a practice is being silly.
I think this the point. Anyone who watched him and is objective knows he was a great cb. But the internet doesn't care about facts or being objective, only memes and kicking people while they're down
No it just showed he fell off something fierce. Granted he played on a horrible defense so he got exposed more than he probably should’ve been. As a Dallas fan I watched Dez torch this man so many times over.
@@premiersmith9317 as a Redskins fan, Dez didn’t really “torch” him. Most of their match ups were really good and Hall shut him down several times. I’m fairly certain this video with Hopkins is from around the time Dhall had switch to free safety for us. His ACL injury sapped some of his speed. As a Hokie fan and Redskins fan I’m glad I got to see so much of his career.
A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent: "You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No." He continued "Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No." "Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No." "But ya fuck one goat.."
DHall got outperformed by Nnamdi Asomugha in Oakland. The bump and run man to man coverage every play in Oakland didn’t work well with Dhalls skills. When we went to more diverse defenses he played better
Ironically, the raiders tried to accommodate him by letting him play off man coverage. Just like the eagles tried to accommodate nmandi, letting him play press man coverage 😂
DeAngelo Hall did NOT RUIN his legacy. Only fans who don’t know much about the game would let that clip w/Hopkins influence Hall’s EXCELLENT CAREER. His story about Randy Moss shows who he is as a man & an athlete; proud but humble. I will always respect Hall’s career. He gave as good as he got.
Diangelo was really good at his peak.. I wouldn't say great.. he took mad risks and when they didn't work out in his favor he was quite af.. but in the era of Terrell Owens, Steve Smith, and Chad Johnson.. he did iight
I feel he was a lesser version of trevon Diggs, both are polarizing players with huge swings in their game from getting interceptions to not holding their own on other plays, but trevon Diggs does get a lot more spot light either from his last name, the team he plays for it the fact he just plays in a different time from deangelo, but all aside playstyle is very similar in my opinion
@FlemLo Im not the type to get on the tube and comment on videos but I came across your channel 3 weeks ago and I have to say.....I REALLY enjoy your videos. Voice and delivery dont ever get annoying, vocabulary on point, your research and content are captivating and keep me making your channel a daily visit multiple times a day. Good work! 💪
At VT. I heard he would run at full speed for 20 minutes on the treadmill. He was definitely a beast at corner in the beginning of his career and his transition to safety was actually pretty smooth. However D hop completely destroyed his ankles on that play in practice
@@martianmurray Lol, just cause you can't doesn't mean top athletes can't. Plus top speed isn't referred to all out sprint but his maximum sustainable speed like track runners. Or how I trained and I did dead sprints in intervals of 30/60
@@msannson212 I got 315 up my senior year at 17. It's not too crazy for football players. By 21, I could rep 315. (Tho I started to transition to speed and quickness and not so much power for a corner)
I always will remember Hall from his prime battling with Steve Smith every year down in Atlanta. Smith was a tough dude to cover, and tough dude to deal with period on the field. When i think of D hall, a moment of practice doesn't even register with me
Bengals finally did it, bro. I'm not even a Bengals fan and I couldn't be happier. Their season will go down as one of the greatest comeback stories in football. I can't wait for the next video to drop.
Another great video Flem! In light of recent news, maybe do a video on Tate Martell? I think his story would make for a very compelling video especially with your storytelling and ability to uncover the facts and circumstances. Keep up the great work! 🐐
I met D Hall at Dulles Airport to a flight to LA. He was on the way to start recording for NFL Network. He’s a humble guy. Told him I enjoyed watching his intensity on the field. He thanked me.
I like how flem lo is 100% real. His opinions are logical. He reports facts. He doesn't get into the typical political opinions of the day. I've never heard him shade his videos w racial shit. I respect that. It's not common.
Just a small aside, as Vick and Iverson went to school on the opposite side of the harbor from Hall, and because all three major crossings are garbage, the separation is probably more like 45 minutes to an hour in terms of real world drive time. Especially back then, before some infrastructure upgrades were finished that eased some of the congestion on both sides of Hampton Roads. (Although the harbor crossings themselves remain a problem)
Iverson & Vick from Peninsula Tidewater, Hall from Lower Tidewater. All 3 from opposite side of the bay which is like 30-40 minutes apart. I've witnessed better talent from Virginia Beach despite Hall being from Chesapeake...
Totally gonna sound biased here but I really think that clip with DHop only happened because Hall was already older and past his prime and was dealing with injuries. When he went to cut back he planted his foot and it just have out on him. Either way he was always a really good player, super underrated. I wish the man’s legacy wasn’t ruined by that altercation with Hop though because he can never live it down lol
@@aidanwatson910 I mean it didn’t really ruin it but if you ever see any posts about DeAngelo Hall he’s always getting clowned on by the entire comment section. Just ruined his reputation pretty much
His biggest downfall was something you usually don’t associates with black quarterbacks. And that’s lack of mobility. Statue QB don’t work anymore in the NFL. Even Brady has some mobility.
@@bjnt922 ohhh I know ol Byron ... im a rarity indeed ... A Jags fan. I don't know much about his coaching but I do know Byron as a player .... he was a statue in the pocket
@@KCJaguar816 I’m not a Jags fan. I’m actually a Texans so I know y’all pain 😄 But I’ve followed Byron’s career since he was at Marshall. I remember playing with him on NCAA Football 03 . Threw 58 TDs with him during a dynasty season.
Ol Tenderfoot was a problem if he had time back there. As a Bucs fan old school,I hated seeing them on the schedule. He's a good QB coach, don't know if he has the chops for HC yet.
Bro I just found your channel and have watched several and love the way you break down these careers so well. The story about Lawrence had me f'ed up. Keep up the work man. You found a niche with your original format. Not sure how you came up or your background but you are real nice at this. Maybe a video on where you came from and how you came up with this format .
Love your videos brother. But that Tyree play you were referring to was back in 2008, not 2012. Still Hall would have been beneficial on the 2011 Pats who made it to the SB.
I'm so glad I subbed your channel! The way you tell a story is awesome! 100% factually accurate, and when you inject opinion you say it's YOUR OPINION, and your narration is the way a friend tells a story. Thanks Flemlo Raps!
The older football heads saw this play and just thought, “Hall is older now. Of course this could happen against an up and coming beast WR.” And we deleted it from our memory. But it sucks that for the younger generation, this stands out
DHall def deserves a better defining moment. Dude was rock solid. Never great, but a shade above good. At times spectacular, at times getting cooked, but always bringing it.
I’ve seen that hard knocks sequence several times, but I thoroughly enjoyed your breakdown of it. You are a superb story teller. That’s a rare talent. Keep it up, man.
CONGRATS TO THE BENGALS MAKING IT. AS A COWBOYS FAN WHEN WE WERE KNOCKED OUT I IMMEDIATELY DECIDED TO CHEER FOR THE BENGALS CUZ OF YOU AND Y'ALL DID IT!
Flemlo D-Hall's most memorable moment for me was when Steve Smith torched him up in Atlanta. I think that was his 1st fall from the top. He then got traded to Oakland, got cut, then Wash signed him. He was way overpaid in Wash until Cutler didn't do his homework and gave Hall 4 picks in 1 game. Hall was overly aggressive and fell for every pump fake and play action.
DeAngelo's Super Bowl Patriots talk just is him saying that the "helmet catch" by Tyree wouldn't have happened on his watch for sure! Great video as always!
Man FLEM you're really the GOAT for this video. Been watching you for a long time and you never let me down. I love a lot of your videos some I even watched multiple times. Thanks for doing this one because a lot of people forgot this man was the real deal.
Love D Hall and enjoyed hanging out with him while he was getting his tattoo work done at the Magick Dragon in Gainesville Ga. He was an awesome cornerback.

I feel he was a lesser version of trevon Diggs, both are polarizing players with huge swings in their game from getting interceptions to not holding their own on other plays, but trevon Diggs does get a lot more spot light either from his last name, the team he plays for it the fact he just plays in a different time from deangelo, but all aside playstyle is very similar in my opinion
I wrote this before I got to the part of flemlo comparing trevon Diggs to deangelo hall so I wasn't intending to copy what he said 😂😂
Crazy era. They dont even know
@@ffllaasshh2067 Lessor? Are u familiar with the era? I dont compare players of today to player 10+ yrs ago. No way. Different game
@@SirAntBo I meant lesser as in exposure I don't believe deangelo hall was getting as much publicity as trevon Diggs is right now
@FlemLo Im not the type to get on the tube and comment on videos but I came across your channel 3 weeks ago and I have to say.....I REALLY enjoy your videos. Voice and delivery dont ever get annoying, vocabulary on point, your research and content are captivating and keep me making your channel a daily visit multiple times a day. Good work! 💪
I want this dude to have a podcast. One of the best content creators on TH-cam
Congrats on the Bengals making the SB Flem. You’ve been with them through thick and thin. Enjoy it bro
This is the dude I think of when the Bengals win.
Deangelo Hall was a hell of a corner. 1 practice play doesn't change that or ruin his legacy.
Yunno we waiting on the next video right 👀👀 congratulations btw💪🏾good luck with the super bowl- Sincerely a Steelers fan
can't wait to watch this one ! hope you feel better flemlo ! thanks for the content !!
I'm born and raised in Chesapeake bro, this hit different for me. Thank u shedding light 💯❤️💛💚🖤🔐
Great to see you and your family in good health keep on rolling with that heat bro “Que The Wayne “
Cue*
Thank you for all the work you’re putting in on these videos, they are really a pleasure to listen to. 👍🏽
At VT. I heard he would run at full speed for 20 minutes on the treadmill. He was definitely a beast at corner in the beginning of his career and his transition to safety was actually pretty smooth. However D hop completely destroyed his ankles on that play in practice
My man slipped
Nobody can run at full speed for 20 minutes straight. He may have ran at pace that’s faster than most people’s full speed tho
@@martianmurray Lol, just cause you can't doesn't mean top athletes can't. Plus top speed isn't referred to all out sprint but his maximum sustainable speed like track runners.
Or how I trained and I did dead sprints in intervals of 30/60
Did you Just say that man bench press 300 pds as a 17 year old as a scronny kid? Got to rewind.
@@msannson212 I got 315 up my senior year at 17. It's not too crazy for football players.
By 21, I could rep 315. (Tho I started to transition to speed and quickness and not so much power for a corner)
Congratulations man your Bangles are finally going to the Superbowl I know you the happiest dude alive right now
I always will remember Hall from his prime battling with Steve Smith every year down in Atlanta. Smith was a tough dude to cover, and tough dude to deal with period on the field. When i think of D hall, a moment of practice doesn't even register with me
Bengals finally did it, bro. I'm not even a Bengals fan and I couldn't be happier.
Their season will go down as one of the greatest comeback stories in football.
I can't wait for the next video to drop.
Another great video Flem! In light of recent news, maybe do a video on Tate Martell? I think his story would make for a very compelling video especially with your storytelling and ability to uncover the facts and circumstances. Keep up the great work! 🐐
I litterally started watching Wayyy back ncaa 14 days , still making great content gotta love it
Hope you and yours are feeling better man! Glad to see you are still on the grind with great content.
I met D Hall at Dulles Airport to a flight to LA. He was on the way to start recording for NFL Network. He’s a humble guy. Told him I enjoyed watching his intensity on the field. He thanked me.
I like how flem lo is 100% real. His opinions are logical. He reports facts. He doesn't get into the typical political opinions of the day. I've never heard him shade his videos w racial shit. I respect that. It's not common.
Congratulations on your bengals!!!!!! Love the videos keep doin your thing!!!!
Been watching you for a while and I just wanna say congratulations on your squad going to the bowl. I know you are amped
Just a small aside, as Vick and Iverson went to school on the opposite side of the harbor from Hall, and because all three major crossings are garbage, the separation is probably more like 45 minutes to an hour in terms of real world drive time. Especially back then, before some infrastructure upgrades were finished that eased some of the congestion on both sides of Hampton Roads. (Although the harbor crossings themselves remain a problem)
Iverson & Vick from Peninsula Tidewater, Hall from Lower Tidewater. All 3 from opposite side of the bay which is like 30-40 minutes apart. I've witnessed better talent from Virginia Beach despite Hall being from Chesapeake...
Man, you're videos keep better, editing, narrative and more. You're doing alot more than you realize flemlo
I can’t stop watching these . Seriously. Love this channel
Congrats to the Bengals FlemLo!!
Nothing gets me more pumped than an new FlemLo video, no joke. Keep up the grind. NFL Films should be asking to feature your videos.
Totally gonna sound biased here but I really think that clip with DHop only happened because Hall was already older and past his prime and was dealing with injuries. When he went to cut back he planted his foot and it just have out on him. Either way he was always a really good player, super underrated. I wish the man’s legacy wasn’t ruined by that altercation with Hop though because he can never live it down lol
Agreed dude had 4 picks in a game 💪
This didn't ruin it he's fucking tripping dude
@@aidanwatson910 I mean it didn’t really ruin it but if you ever see any posts about DeAngelo Hall he’s always getting clowned on by the entire comment section. Just ruined his reputation pretty much
@@NaturalHigh21 only children comment on that shit tho dudes rich he’s a winner
@@NaturalHigh21 You reap what you sow lol. He was talking shit before that play
Another gem. Keep queuing these up, Flem!
I'd love to see you do a video on Byron Leftwich. As a Jags fan I'd love to see his career & as a potential head coach for us ( fingers crossed)
His biggest downfall was something you usually don’t associates with black quarterbacks. And that’s lack of mobility. Statue QB don’t work anymore in the NFL. Even Brady has some mobility.
@@bjnt922 ohhh I know ol Byron ... im a rarity indeed ... A Jags fan. I don't know much about his coaching but I do know Byron as a player .... he was a statue in the pocket
@@KCJaguar816 I’m not a Jags fan. I’m actually a Texans so I know y’all pain 😄 But I’ve followed Byron’s career since he was at Marshall. I remember playing with him on NCAA Football 03 . Threw 58 TDs with him during a dynasty season.
I'm going to try those manscape trimmers on my balls. Fingers crossed 🤞
Ol Tenderfoot was a problem if he had time back there. As a Bucs fan old school,I hated seeing them on the schedule. He's a good QB coach, don't know if he has the chops for HC yet.
Best story teller on YT 💯
Bengals too the super bowl. Congrats my boi. Your the only bengals fan I know 😂😂
Bro I just found your channel and have watched several and love the way you break down these careers so well. The story about Lawrence had me f'ed up. Keep up the work man. You found a niche with your original format. Not sure how you came up or your background but you are real nice at this. Maybe a video on where you came from and how you came up with this format .
Love your videos brother. But that Tyree play you were referring to was back in 2008, not 2012. Still Hall would have been beneficial on the 2011 Pats who made it to the SB.
Your stories and content are top rate. Really enjoy every one.
I know you happy the bengals are in the super bowl
I'm so glad I subbed your channel! The way you tell a story is awesome! 100% factually accurate, and when you inject opinion you say it's YOUR OPINION, and your narration is the way a friend tells a story. Thanks Flemlo Raps!
Sorry I misspelled your handle FlemLo Raps. It won't happen again.
The older football heads saw this play and just thought, “Hall is older now. Of course this could happen against an up and coming beast WR.” And we deleted it from our memory. But it sucks that for the younger generation, this stands out
DHall def deserves a better defining moment. Dude was rock solid. Never great, but a shade above good. At times spectacular, at times getting cooked, but always bringing it.
True . this was early in D hops career he was young. D hall was in his older years. No longer in his prime.
I think it’s the cornerback curse that the burnt toast phase is remembered as if not more strongly than their prime
I’ve seen that hard knocks sequence several times, but I thoroughly enjoyed your breakdown of it. You are a superb story teller. That’s a rare talent. Keep it up, man.
CONGRATS TO THE BENGALS MAKING IT. AS A COWBOYS FAN WHEN WE WERE KNOCKED OUT I IMMEDIATELY DECIDED TO CHEER FOR THE BENGALS CUZ OF YOU AND Y'ALL DID IT!
FlemLo Raps is the greatest story teller on TH-cam. Been watching for 3 years && I will continue watching
Bengals winning it all💪🏽
I’ve been hoping you’d talk about him im hyped. Hope you and your son are healthy!!
Flemlo D-Hall's most memorable moment for me was when Steve Smith torched him up in Atlanta. I think that was his 1st fall from the top. He then got traded to Oakland, got cut, then Wash signed him. He was way overpaid in Wash until Cutler didn't do his homework and gave Hall 4 picks in 1 game. Hall was overly aggressive and fell for every pump fake and play action.
Thats why I can't take this dude seriously. Panthers all day!
Smith never really had a big game against hall . He may had best hall on a few plays but never put up big numbers against hall
You must be STOKED!! The realest bengals fan I know
Congrats Flemlo. SUPER BOWL BOUND!!!!!
"Que the show him some love music" way to go flemlo, keep up the fair unbiased work
Flemo Raps finna go crazy dawg.
My dude FlemLo Raps is nice with his sports stories I love tuning in to his TH-cam channel! Keep up the good work!!
Man good too see this pop in my feed again. I love these
Dude… all of your productions are well researched, very well presented and have a great perspective. 👏🏾
DeAngelo's Super Bowl Patriots talk just is him saying that the "helmet catch" by Tyree wouldn't have happened on his watch for sure! Great video as always!
Congrats FlemLo for your Bengals making the AFC Championship round!!. Stay blessed bro 🙏🏽
Man I know you happy!! Them bengals came to play today!!
FlemLo - love your channel. Keep up the great stories.
Man FLEM you're really the GOAT for this video. Been watching you for a long time and you never let me down. I love a lot of your videos some I even watched multiple times. Thanks for doing this one because a lot of people forgot this man was the real deal.
Just leaving you a comment before the Bengals/Chiefs game is over FlemLo. Grats on the SuperBowl bid my man!! :) 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
This is the first place I came when I saw the bengals beat the chiefs. I'm stoked for you man! And bengals fans in general.
Been watching your videos and just subscribed. You make great documentaries.
Congrats to the bangles you a true fan celebrate as you should big dawg!!?
Wow..got the vibes off this one. Great work Raps. Respect

I know my guy flem happy them bengals going to the bowl well deserved and you been hopeful since the beginning of the season.
I love how you shout out the old dudes and what they did to get there. Grew up with these guys!
Bringing back the OG music I love it
Love D Hall and enjoyed hanging out with him while he was getting his tattoo work done at the Magick Dragon in Gainesville Ga. He was an awesome cornerback.
