"Remember Me, When Sports Were Pure"...Athlete of the Week

THE NIGERIAN NIGHTMARE......Christian Okoye

Profile

-6'1 253 pounds of pure terror
-Wore a great facemask
-Wore TC Arm pads
-Had a short stint with a PURE cowboy collar/neck roll (top right)
-Had Tree Trunks for legs


Okoye's career was ended after 6 years in the NFL due to a knee injury. He was a monster, a total freak with the ball in his hands....i mean look at the fucking guy. He spent all 6 years with the Kansas City Chiefs
-led NFL in rushing in 1989

-2 pro bowl appearances 89,91

-Has recently stooped to as low a level as a former stud athlete can : Competing in reality television shows,,,,not the "Dancing with the Stars" type of show that is "cool" for athletes and actors, (which blows too) but rather a show called "Pirate Master" where the contestants search for treasure worth $1 million dollars. (seen on CBS, i saw one episode,but Okoye must have been booted or something by then, and yes, it was garbage)
.....And as ive been told, THE Nigerian Nightmare also served as a "PRO" in Spike Tv's Pros vs Joes. But from what ive been told ide rather not watch his performance for it would surely ruin the memory i have of Okoye dominating people.

-And of course who could forget the NIgerian Nightmare competing on your regular nintendo......you know it SUPER TECMO BOWL....he was sick. I mean Walter Peyton and Bo were unfair in Tecmo Bowl, but Okoye was no slouch in 1991's Super version, an easy third place runner in the history of the game.........proven by such an example --->

Yea, you had to gang tackle him in actual life, but there wasn't a prayer on Nintendo, that was great.....classic memories.

Remember me????..........Christian Okoye
