Pete Weber (bowling)

John Riggins

Riggins sat out the 1980 season[6] and did not rejoin the Redskins until 1981, when new Washington head coach Joe Gibbs traveled to Kansas to make a peace offering.[18] "He had a camouflage outfit on", Gibbs recalled. He had been hunting, him and a buddy. He had a beer can in his hand. It was 10 o'clock in the morning and he's meeting his coach for the first time and I'm thinking [sarcastically], 'This guy really impresses me.' But I went in there, and halfway through the conversation he says, 'You need to get me back there. I'll make you famous.[18] I thought to myself, 'Oh, my God, he's an egomaniac.' I thought, 'I'll get him back and then I'll trade him. I'm not putting up with a fruitcake.' So I fly back to Washington, and two days later he calls me. He says, 'Joe, I made up my mind, and I'm going to play next season.' I thought it was great. I've got him back, and I'll trade that sucker. But then he says, 'There's only one thing I want in my contract.' I ask what it was. He says, 'A no-trade clause.'[18]

He was a hunter, beer drinker who had his own beer brand with weird hairdo's who didn't give a frick.

2 for the also ran list:
Justin Verlander & Rick Flair

Lots of good answers. These may be “tough guys” more than baws, but I’m not 100% clear on the definition of “baw” lol.

First name that came to my mind is Ray Nitschke.



With a shout out to Chuck “Concrete Charlie” Bednarik for laying out Frank Gifford. And for what football did to the man’s hands. Two-way player, also.

Football. This is a great read, btw. Don’t make them like this anymore.
Concrete Charlie

That is the ultimate baw move....skip the draft , go fishing and still go in the 1st round....baw move.
