This is an example of why Jody is one of the very best color commentators in the league. Great recollection of how it went down....his recollection. He did fight Probey 4 times in 4 periods. 😌
I remember reading a newspaper story back in the day when Dexter Manley, big NFL defensive end, was in rehab, acting up in group therapy, throwing chairs, yelling out threats, and generally just being a belligerent jerk. Well, Bob Probert was in his therapy session because he was in rehab also. Supposedly, Probert was having none of this nonsense and got up and told Manley to shut up and sit his ass down or else he would fuck him up. Well, Manley sat down and was a good boy after that. Bob the intimidator!
That story’s not *exactly* true. Probie did tell him to sit down and shut up, but they had a conversation first. The story as it’s told was good for the enforcer mystique. But the truth, which is that Probie connected with Dex on a human level when all these counselors and therapists couldn’t (also after Dex probably didn’t deserve the grace or empathy at that point) is much more powerful imo.
Thank You Jody For Being Respectful about Probie. You were a decent Fighter but you missed him in his prime or it would have been a lot more painful. 😂
Jody was better than decent. He owned prime Georges. Jody was a legit top-5 for years and could have have been the king for a couple years. He was great.
Jody Shelly was almost unbeatable in junior on the Halifax Mooseheads. The guy would absolutely put a thumping on people, night after night. He was loved as much as Gigure was back then
@@bobofwinnipeg9455 Wendel got beat pretty bad twice, but he did do well the first fight in more punches. But Probert did tko him after he got jumped and then wendel held on for dear life after he took a pumbling. I never respected Wendel cuz he jumped and hit guys on the ground. If he was straight up, I would have. But to many dirty cheap shots. Like Dave Brown. But I commend him for going toe to toe with Bob.
Shit, Craig Berube, Craig Coxe, Chris Nilan, Tony Twist, Sandy McCarthy, Dave Brown, Mike Peluso. Hell, Keith Primeau fought Probie in practice one day. 🤣
@@jlsvideos5990 Look at the comments date you show up late in the conversation by a week,I'm a huge wings fan but Probie being compared to Shelly or he only won because of the jersey coming and Shelley beat him bad and is a better player of course I am going to defend him, he was the best goal scoring enforcer can't say that about Shelley.
I've never played Hocky but I'm just curious - besides the Tie Down Rule,the Legal sized Hockey Sticks,is it possible to somehow 'enhance' the Blades on the Skates to gain an advantage?
Jody joined the church I go to when he came to Columbus, never misses a Sunday unless he is working , always there with his family , great people , helps run with youth summer sport camps ....a true legend here in cbus
I wish they would have asked him what happened after the third fight in the first game when he sort of suckered Probert after the linesmen had already gotten in. Were there words exchanged beforehand? Was Shelley just that pumped up? I always wondered why he did that. I thought it was cheap-particularly to do something like that to a legend. At any rate, great fights. Shelley was a tough dude. I’m glad he played a season for my Rangers late in his career. And we know who Probie was.
Don't know if this is typical, but two of my best friends both grew up without a dad (Probert lost his at 14), and you just didn't mess with these guy's because once triggered a totally different animal came out, and those that did got got! Saw it many times, and both were Probe's age, a little older than me.
Failed to mention it was at the very end of Proberts career not a prime Probert, Shelly was in his prime so I wouldn't use it as an accurate measuring tool.
Probert was just as tough off the ice....tazered 14 times..made tank Abbott shit his pants in Rockford Illinois wresting promotion when probert said to him...listen fat boy, I could end it now or in the ring...took on 5 bouncers ....what did these other guys do......
I don't know maybe cuz Biz lives thousands of miles apart from Whit in AZ? (slight sarcasm). RA & Whit both live in MA but towns apart. Re. Other then their road trip specials & trips here in there, this is how they've always done their pods, even before covid! Just couldn't see them in the past cuz they weren't all posted up on RU-vid like they are now.
Sherry oh I mean Shelly you couldn’t even beat Probert in his 15th season and you were just getting started, Probert would’ve knocked you out easy in his 10th year. I could only imagine what he would’ve done to you in his early years, He would’ve made he crying back to your grandma.
Unfortunately bob was past his prime so sad I wish he would have stopped years before he played to long so many guys hang on to long bobs prime was 87 to 97
