Mike Golic Tells Story off Near Brawl Between Naked Eagles O-Line and D-Line (yes, naked)

Mike Golic was once much, much more than the radio personality he is today. The man was a pretty good defensive lineman back in the day for the Houston Oilers (1986-87), Philadelphia Eagles (1987-92), and Miami Dolphins (1993). During a recent broadcast of his show he told a story that paints an image that makes you glad there are not cameras in the locker room.

Hilarious story, but not a camera friendly one.

Apparently back during his time with the Eagles there was a practice where the offensive and defensive lines went up against each other. There is nothing more personal than going one on one for lineman so this got pretty heated pretty quick--and involved quite a bit of trash talk. That just made things get even worse.

Eventually practice came to a close, the defensive line stayed out to get a little more work in, and the offensive line hit the showers. It's at the point where the two met outside of the shower where it got interesting (via NJ.com):

"There's all of us walking there, and he walks out, turns, looks at Jerome [Brown], who's right out front there. So we're in all our gear, he's buck naked, and he says, 'Jerome, you know, hot, tough day out there, you know, let's let bygones be bygones,' and kind of put his hand out.

"Jerome, in only the way Jerome can—and now, at this point, the other O-linemen are coming out of the shower, naked, OK? And Jerome does basically what Jerome does, tells Ron what he thinks of him, you know, in a not-so-nice way. [Ron] Heller said, 'Fine.'

"Ron Heller, buck naked, got into the best boxing stance you've ever seen in your life. So, there's a naked Ron Heller ready to box. Jerome throws his helmet down. He gets in a boxing stance. There's all of us uniformed D-linemen. A bunch of naked O-linemen; you might as well have played the Jets and the Sharks [from 'West Side Story'] going on there. ... They squared off, and then, luckily, they just both kind of realized and just kind of laughed and kind of said, 'All right, good deal,' and we all went on our way.

Good times. Good times.
