I feel sorry for Dobler and the other players.
But Dobler was a complete sh it when he played.
He tried to hurt people.

The list of defensive lineman he tried to disable is
long. I mean who the hell would try to poke out the
eyes and bite the fingers off of a guy like Merlin Olsen?
Then tried to leg whip him numerous times almost ruining
Olsen's career. Olsen was known as a clean player that
never bad-mouthed other players. Just played hard and
clean. But he was too good for Dobler and Dobler knew
this.
People do big turnarounds. Dobler seems
like a noble fellow now. But he was damn dirty, dangerous
dirty. So its hard to figure exactly what goes through
this man's head.

I think Kev is spot on concerning Phil.
Only 2nd hand info, but credible.
Heck, maybe he has changed like Dobler.
