He gave every team fits. As much as I hate the guy he deserves his accolades.
In one of the classic AFL battles of days gone by, Fred ran a route across the middle and Willie Lanier, on a deep drop, waited.... waited... Lamonica or Stabler delivered the ball and Lanier hit F.B. with a forearm shiver right in the nose as the ball arrived. (If you recall F.B. wore a single bar facemask). His nose was smeared all over his face. One of the most disgusting images ever as Fred was notoriously ugly mf'er anyway. That forearm caused him to change his facemask to the two bar + one down the middle that most RB's wore at the time.
And he did NOT hold onto the pass. Whatta biotch.
