I'm a Bears fan & I remember him tackling our Qb. while the Qb laid motionless on the field Randle yelled "not going anywhere for awhile? Grab a Snickers bar"
@@retiredstalker I remember they had him mic'd up for Charlie Barch's first ever start. He harassed old Charlie something fierce. He just kept yelling "Charliiiiiiieeeeee.... Charliiiiieeeee"
What he said was so true- he couldn't pull off all the great trash talk if he didn't have game. He was so quick, and for his size, so strong. One of the best defensive tackle pass rushers of all time. He was fun to watch.
my dad is a big Vikes fan- used to love watching this guy.. personal favorite was when a young Charlie Batch came in off the bench and you can hear Jon the whole game "Charlieeeee.. oh Charlieeeee.. yoo hoo.. I'm coming for you hoooo" hahaha
I remember that as well it was 1998. It was also featured on the "Purple Pride Restored" yearbook video. He also called him "traitor" but I didn't get that part though. I never saw Charlie's response after the game, what did he say? John Randle was a bad ass! Cris is my all time favorite Viking, Randle is second.
I recorded that entire season on VCR and must have watched each game (minus the two losses) nearly two dozen times if not more. The Charlie chants... lol!
From humble beginnings, he fought his way to the upper echelons of the NFL. Undersized, he outplayed most of his peers and had a long career in the league. His play and his trash talking makes him a favorite of mine. Don't forget the face paint and the jean commercial with him chasing a chicken wearing a Favre jersey.
I miss him too. He was a great def end who played hard but not dirty. Was also the highest paid def end in NFL history. They made a doc about him. I highly recommend it, if you're a fan. A true rags to riches story. You should see the shack his family grew up in, holy shit. Momma be proud of her baby !!
The very best Randle line was left out..."Red rover, red rover, let those MF'ers come over!" I wish he was a Vikings DL coach just for the energy reasons alone.
He kept escalating his shit talk, finally he's up to even messing with head coaches. That's boss level. I thought he was gonna move up to getting in the other teams GMs head. Then the owner. Even their owner was shook, getting flagged
John Randle!!! I loved watching him play, obviously I'm a Vikings fan and John was as funny as he was tough!!! he deserved to be in the n.f.l. hall of fame!!!
Man I miss this guy, from very humble beginnings all the way to the NFL HOF. I would watch the vikings just to see if John Randle said or did something extraordinary. A great player.
You mean that the other way around right. In today's game the rules favor the lineman then back then. More holding, clippings, pushing that weren't called. Today those are things they watch for
Dana Stubblefield was a DT for the 49ers who benefited mightily from playing beside Bryant Young. When Stubblefield got a FA deal with Washington, he was exposed as a limited player. Randle was just referencing that Gogan goes up against a scrub in practice, and couldn't handle someone of his caliber.
John randle is one of the best man I bleed purple die hard Viking fan man I went to school one day somebody stole my John randle Jersey out of my f****** locker they going to reap what they sow I'm going to get me another one one of the coldest defensive players of all time wish he could have got a super bowl ring but he's definitely in the Hall of Fame Long live John Randall#93 Go vikes
If i ever drafted a fantsy d-line by all means i am having John Randle and John Henderson on the inside. They'd make offensive lineman shit their pants every snap.
The powers that be wanted 250lbs from him before they would even consider talking to him. He said he got to 244 and impatiently went. In the locker room, he looped a chain & padlock around his waist and hit the scales. Hidden under his sweats, he managed 251. haha. ..the rest is history. Look up his doc on here. It's sweet.
Zero Friends that’s when he was 21-22yrs old. Trust me by the time John was 28 through 33 he was every bit North of 275lbs.. his Muscle maturity set in, along with his efforts to gain weight started paying off in his late 20’s.. he’s basically the same size as James Harrison (5’11 1/2 285lbs) but John is an inch taller than James.. the same size as Aaron Donald (6’ 285lbs) but John is slightly taller.
Randle>T.O. as in greatest character in the trenches. Randle created havoc on opponents, but never teammates like T.O. did, and never craved attention, it was just Randle being Randle.
Does anyone remember when Randall got on all fours and doggie walked to the opposing team's logo at mid-field and lifted his leg like he was taking a leak?
"There's no rule in the nfl about trash talking" good ole days
Dude is more of a comedian than a trash talker..the stuff he says is hilarious.

Would got go one in 98 if the Vikes didnt choke
@@Jimmy_Hopkins15 Poor Johnny got hurt and had to watch his D fail miserably without him.
Just look at the dirt on his jersey compared to all other players, putting in work!!!
The Mike Tyson of defensive lineman
One of the most entertaining players to ever play. Imagine him and Rivers going back and forth with each other
REGULATORS! MOUNT UP! WE'RE COMING!
I love that one! "You can't talk to me dog?"
😂😂🤣
"4 score and 7 years ago."
That's 47 years ago, Johnny. Lmao
No it's not. It's 87 years. A score is 20 years. A decade is 10.

"regulators, mount up" not a vikings fan but man this guy was something else. I miss the good ole days of football.
John Randle: The most "viking" Viking to play the game.
my dad is a big Vikes fan- used to love watching this guy.. personal favorite was when a young Charlie Batch came in off the bench and you can hear Jon the whole game "Charlieeeee.. oh Charlieeeee.. yoo hoo.. I'm coming for you hoooo" hahaha

All the GREAT players the Vikings have had in their long history, and they've never won a Super Bowl. It's like a crime.
they will soon enough.

Momma be proud of her baby !!
He was a defensive tackle
Russell Brooker 3-4 defensive end which is really a DT. Kinda like Aaron Donald
4-3 tackle
Vikings were not playing a 3-4
@@jesuschrist912 Vikings played 4 3 his whole career. That being said he lined up in all 4 spots at one point or another. But he was true d tackle.
At his size to do what he did is amazing
Nobody would sit next to him on his own bench was hysterical!!!!
John Randall and Kevin Gogan going at it classic
John Randle was a beast when he played. Now he's what you call savage.
2:01
“ YEAH PUNK BITCH! YEA PUNK BITCH “

6:42 GOLD 🤣🤣😂😭
*"You know what ? Look at there...look at there...it's time for me to get on ya'll muthf%$#@%g ass !"*
The great John Randle, strmoaight up man child out their on the field, so glad he made it to the HOF. I miss hearing him barking out on the field.
That NFL Network show "A Football Life" did a great job on John Randle
NIGHTRIDER!!! nightrider...
Also the heart and soul of those teams.
He was awesome and crazy! We need people like this to shake things up!
So wish the vikess could have gotten a ring for him in 98
Grew up watching him play in Minnesota. Great player. Great entertainer. Thank you for making the game fun and the memories
LMAOO!!@2:25 He said, "I aint no f*ckin Dana Stubblefield"!! LMAOO!! Dana was wack!!
Dana wasn't WACK homie, you must be smoking Crack
This guy has so much energy!
NFL Films sound guys wish he was still playing just so they could mic him up some more. The Undisputed Trash Talking Champion in NFL history
As a Giants fan.. i already knew we lost when they played the vikings. He was alot of fun to watch vs other teams lol
The very best Randle line was left out..."Red rover, red rover, let those MF'ers come over!" I wish he was a Vikings DL coach just for the energy reasons alone.
No doubt one of the best defensive players ever imo
thanks for this vid, my all time favorite
He kept escalating his shit talk, finally he's up to even messing with head coaches. That's boss level. I thought he was gonna move up to getting in the other teams GMs head. Then the owner. Even their owner was shook, getting flagged
one of the greatest of all time. especially being undersized and undrafted.
I swear i act like this guy on the chef line. I wish i didnt tear my Acl i would have watch film on this guy and learned his technique.
This man is hilarious in the field
He'll be featured on A Football Life, NFL Network, 12/15/17. Can't wait to see it.
John Randle!!! I loved watching him play, obviously I'm a Vikings fan and John was as funny as he was tough!!! he deserved to be in the n.f.l. hall of fame!!!
6:10 is my favorite nfl mic’d up moment of all time
Amazing player!! I wish we had another one like hi.
Man I miss this guy, from very humble beginnings all the way to the NFL HOF. I would watch the vikings just to see if John Randle said or did something extraordinary. A great player.
John Randall is my favorite player and I'm a Rams fan
back when the nfl was fun... they still talk trash but now refs listen and have to calm down people so dumb.
John Randle is THE ONLY guy I would compare to Aaron Donald!
You mean that the other way around right. In today's game the rules favor the lineman then back then. More holding, clippings, pushing that weren't called. Today those are things they watch for
Until Donald breaks John's record for most sacks by a DT you have to compare AD to JR not the other way around lol
2 Tone Udon: Touché 👍🏿
@@Bigload992G Donald is a beast and has a good shot at that record tho only time will tell
2 Tone Udon: Yup👍🏿. JR is a Savage! Best Pass Rushing 3 Tech. And AD is the New version🤙🏾
Definitely one of my favorite players ever!
Man these are the players i love like Kevin Garnett constantly running their mouths
"I ain't no fucking Dana Stubblefield." 2:26
LOLOLOL
who tf is Dan Stubblefield?
Dana Stubblefield was a DT for the 49ers who benefited mightily from playing beside Bryant Young. When Stubblefield got a FA deal with Washington, he was exposed as a limited player. Randle was just referencing that Gogan goes up against a scrub in practice, and couldn't handle someone of his caliber.
My old man met him at a cigar bar about a year ago and said he was one of the coolest guys to talk with. Very jealous!
my all time fave miss him on the field
That 98 viking team he was on should've went to the super bowl and gave Denver hell and won it!
Do you remember when Johnny boy got into Trent Dilfer's head? Dilfer went after Randle and got ejected.
Yeah lol Dilfer literally jumped on him and did an elbow smash to his back and was then ejected!
I would have loved to see a Vikings broncos Super Bowl in 98 so that Shannon and John could just go at it against each other
still stings
I can’t get no love Barry?
John Randle can smell Steve Young.
Phenomenal player and human being!
Still A Better Trash talker than Packers or Cowboys fans
Randle had the 2022 jerseys back in 92
At 2:25 he said ok that’s what you want than tripped him 😂😂

I came here to see why they are comparing Ed Oliver to Randle, but I think Oliver has a lot of work to do.
I love John Randell 😊 he's a beast 👏
That ref was like How you doin?
He was one bad dude. Fun to watch
there goes my hero
Imagine a line with John Randle and Jared Allen. That’d the most charismatic d line ever.
Guy Incognito : Even better if he played with Chris Doleman
Throw in Kevin green and I swear it'd be over
I still have 1 of his jerseys..I found it at a thrift store when I was 12
If i ever drafted a fantsy d-line by all means i am having John Randle and John Henderson on the inside. They'd make offensive lineman shit their pants every snap.
Thomas Zajc ; John Randle an Aaron Donald or Joe Greene an Merlin Olsen
REGULATERS mount up we’re coming
That's what 6'1 280lbs should look, & play like! #93 was the absolute Truth
