Brian Bosworth didn’t want to say much until the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl run was complete. But as you might imagine, the franchise’s original badass loved the way his old team closed its first championship.

“As you can see the dominant performance by them was evident due to their complete focus upon the ‘MISSION,’” Bosworth wrote in an email to USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday.

“The type of players Seattle have and especially on DEFENSE makes me proud. It was the take no prisoners, reckless abandonment with no regard for their bodies, for the purpose to have possible (a) once in a lifetime chance to say ‘WE ARE THE BEST’, that every player dreams of.”

A first-round supplemental draft pick in 1987, Bosworth played 24 games over three seasons before injuries forced him to retire and he focused on his acting career.

His trash talk towards the Denver Broncos’ quarterback before his NFL debut –- “I can’t wait to get my hands on John Elway’s boyish face” – might have been the most famous Seahawks boast until Richard Sherman’s post-NFC title game rant. (No offense, Matt Hasselbeck.)

But Bosworth, 48, declined an interview request from USA TODAY Sports two weeks ago, saying he respects Sherman’s “high degree of intensity and drive,” emotions can be taken out of context and he didn’t want to bring any attention to himself by drawing parallels.


Two days after the Seahawks dismantled Peyton Manning and the Elway-constructed Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII, Bosworth – who did tweet a photo of himself pointing in Elway’s face from that 1987 game on Sunday night –- reached out to say it turned out the way he wanted.

Didn't know he was on Twitter. I went ahead and followed him for giggles.

I came across that last week and love that photo! Hadn't seen that one before, so I saved it to add to my Boz/Elway collection.

Not sure this will work (first pic upload attempt from phone), but I put the top pic on my FB page within 5 minutes of the NFCCG ending:

Pic upload failed; guess I'll just put the link to it :-(

One could say.. That Elway taught his players to roll over with this pic and encouraged it during their death sentence on the field during SB48

That is a 15-yard penalty, in today's NFL.

It would have been worth it! 8)

My one unfulfilled wish from the Superbowl was to see Elway in tears! :twisted: He left before anyone could jam a cam in his face!

I've never been a fan of calling guys busts who's careers ended because of injury. IMO a guy like Aaron Curry is a bust not "The Boz" but because The Boz was loud and abrasive when his career ended due to bad shoulders he finds himself on the top busts list. I've always called BS! and still get into arguments defending the Boz.

Dang...he looks like an "old man" now! Grandfather time catches up with us all eventually. I wonder where he is now living?

Call him what ya want but I am a Boz fan. When he was in the game he was a factor! He didn't disappear like true busts do. Unfortunately his body betrayed him. But man was it fun having him on the team.

Yeah, but a picture like that would be worth it even today.

.... good for at least a week of free exposure and publicity on California AM and other media outlets.

When Seattle won the pick to take him in the supplemental draft, the bar I frequented in Everett had some "The Boz" hats available. The only thing is, they were only given out if you won one in a pull tab game. I spent over 60.00 trying to win one of those hats the very first night. Girl who was bartending that night felt so sorry for me that she gave me one. I probably would have spent well over 100.00 trying to get a stupid $2.50 hat. I was definitely a fan of the Boz.
