New orleans Saints had the worst offensive lines ever in the NFL. Archie was a great QB. I am not comparing him with Peyton. but if he would have played for a good team, you would have heard alot more about him. Peyton is way better, but Archie played for the worst offensive line in history.
"Hollywood" Henderson's rookie year, the Cowboys are playing the Saints. Landry is the coach and the Cowboys are killing them. Late 4th quarter, Mike Ditka, who was the defensive coach and special teams coach freaks out that Tom Dempsey, who's missing half a foot and half an arm, runs off the field after every kick off the minute he kicks the ball. Ditka says something to the effect of: "If that son of a ***** is that crippled, he shouldn't be playing football at all!"
He turns to Henderson and tells him, "If we give up a score to the Saints, I want you to drill Dempsey before he can get off the field!!" So Henderson not sure what to do, figures he has to do it if he wants to stay on the team. Doesn't want to do it, but is going to do it anyway.
Saints score with a 1:50 left, they kickoff and Henderson, who's up front, makes a B line for Dempsey and nails him! Dempsey never saw it coming. Out cold! They had to bring in the ambulence to take him away. The Saints team goes crazy coming out on to the field. Landry, who everyone knows is a super straight guy, grabs Henderson and pulls him off the field where he yells at him for a good five minutes. Henderson apoligizing tells Landry "but coach, I was told to do it." Landry asks him "Who told you to do it???" Henderson looks around for "Iron Mike" and watches Ditka run into the locker room with over a minute to go! Leaves Hollywood behind to rot.
Henderson pretty much said "forget it", sucked it up and somehow stayed on the team.

Good story...what's that say about Mike Dicka?
Orders a rookie to go out and wipe out a handicapped inspirational player...WTF is that? He's already a liabilty on kickoff coverage...
Tony didn't Hollywood Henderson also get charged with raping a paraplegic, I kind of remember hearing this? Never cared much for him after that Super Bowl vs Pittsburgh where he made fun of Bradshaw...We got the last laugh however...
