If you scroll to 3:30 is Lou saying, "Let me complete a full rep." Or is he saying, "Don't let me complete a full rep." There seems to be some dispute though it is clear to me.

I understand him to be saying, "Let me complete a full rep." and interpret it as meaning 'don't touch the bar until I ask you to'.

Ah, I remember those days. When a spotter didn't touch the bar until actually needed. Nowaday they're on it from the very first rep that you don't even know who is actually doing what.

That's what I think to.
Back when men lifted like men.

I wish they had shown the bit when Matty tells Louie he is not allowed back home after the contest because he is a LOOOSER. :D
-
"Let me complete a full rep, then pull it up" is what I hear.
-
all I heard was "you owe me $20"

The field of Ferrigno is always evolving with new information and technologies. So much of Lou Ferrigno theory has been rewritten since I minored in Ferrigno studies.

Story is Matty Ferrigno only is in there because of the story line.
Normally he did not help Lou train and he and Lou had a testy relationship.

lol...that’s probably because we had something called pride pellius...when we loaded up the bar nearing our limits we actually BACKED OURSELVES too complete as MANY as we could and on the off chance we miscalculated the fact we might actually not get the bar back up...that was the “spotters” job....too save us from ourselves and gently touch that bar enough too get it moving.
Those days are LONG GONE...it’s called the show pony express looks first substance a distant....3rd.

The thing is, it wasn't any special. It was common place and just the way it was done. It didn't really have to be taught but was just self-evident. You don't help unless you need to. Why would anybody want to take away the effort and accomplishment from someone? True, sometimes you got an over eager spotter but they would be admonished. You'd hear the bencher saying, "I got it. I got it." Meaning let me do it. Don't touch that bar.
So many things nowadays that use to be just common sense and common place is now out of fashion, frowned upon, or considered wrong in all aspects in today's world. I mean, who would have thought that some actually believe that reducing or getting rid of the police would lead to less crime and violence. Just common sense stuff you never even had to think about turned on it's head.
Now what did Lou really say?

The world we have lived in since the advent of social media makes no sense it’s a flow on effect of that point you’ve made witch in turned started years imo before the advent of children being told in schools there were no “losers” in life and that we were all winners mentality that the generations in the last 25 years are accustomed too...
a very DIFFERENT world that we came though as youngsters and that was we backed ourselves though a combination of failings first...in order too become winners later, now there’s a something for nothing mentality in the age of instant “success” because of it.
I wouldn’t have a god damn clue what $20 dollar Lou actually said...I’ve been still trying too understand a word of what he was bubbling on about since his pumping iron days.
-
How about the guys saying they benched 400 and a spotter was helping them all the way, when you point that out they say "he didn't help me that much".
-
I listened three times to be sure and clearly Lou says "let me complete a full rep." Not sure if i need to be loaded first so i hear something else? Cuz if so the sack is on u and i got first hit ;D

i can beat him.

"Incredible Hulk' sues brother over New Jersey store ** Actor Lou Ferrigno says fitness equipment shop is too green. His sibling, who says he's been in business for years, lives in Bethlehem.
Daryl Nerl Of The Morning Call
THE MORNING CALL
It wasn't gamma radiation that made Lou Ferrigno angry. It was alleged trademark infringement.
Ferrigno, best known for his portrayal of comic book icon "The Incredible Hulk" during a television series of the same name in the late 1970s and early 1980s, has filed a federal lawsuit against his brother, Andrew Ferrigno of Bethlehem.
In the suit, Lou Ferrigno accuses his brother of capitalizing on his name and reputation to promote his fitness equipment store in Stewartsville, N.J., just a few miles east of Phillipsburg and the Delaware River.
It is in part the store's liberal use of green -- the color of the Incredible Hulk's skin -- that has the former world champion bodybuilder and television star seeing red.
The lawsuit, filed in January in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, points out the color of the store's awning, the color of much of the store's interior and the color of the store's business cards are green. Further, the lawsuit says the store -- named Ferrigno Fitness Equipment -- has a green wall of photos featuring Lou Ferrigno in various bodybuilding poses and appearing as the Incredible Hulk.
In addition to monetary compensation, Lou Ferrigno asks the court to bar his brother from using the name "Ferrigno Fitness" or from using the "confusingly similar" splashes of green inside and outside the store.
A news release issued Thursday by Andrew Ferrigno's attorney, Scott M. Wilhelm of Phillipsburg, says the business has been operated for 23 years by the Ferrigno family.
"This is bullying," Wilhelm told The Associated Press. "Andrew and his wife have been running their business for over 20 years, and now, for the first time ever, Lou wants to shut them down.
"Andrew says nothing has happened between them to make his brother spiteful or vengeful. I don't know what level of income Lou has these days, but Andrew is confident that it still far exceeds his."
Efforts to reach Andrew Ferrigno were unsuccessful. His wife, Janie Ferrigno, is also named in the suit.
The store's answering machine message makes reference to the family feud. "This store has no affiliation with Lou Ferrigno or Lou Ferrigno Enterprises," the message says. "It is owned solely by Andy Ferrigno." A similar disclaimer appears on the store's Web site. The lawsuit also demands that the store give up its "ferrignofitness.com" domain name and Internet address.
"Andrew Ferrigno and Janie Ferrigno intend to fight the allegations of Louis Ferrigno, which they contend are without merit," Wilhelm's news release says.
According to Wilhelm, Andrew Ferrigno and the brothers' father, Matthew Ferrigno, began selling fitness equipment in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1980, in the middle of "The Incredible Hulk" run on network television. In 1982, Matthew Ferrigno bought the 5,000-square-foot building in Stewartsville. Matthew and Andrew Ferrigno ran the store together until 1994 when Andrew took over.
Lou Ferrigno, 54, made news in February when he was sworn in as a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department reserve deputy. He was issued a badge and gun, but his work is limited to recruiting officers and motivational speaking for youth programs, according to published reports.
The fictional character he played on television was the alter-ego of scientist David Banner -- played on television by Bill Bixby -- who because of exposure to gamma radiation would turn muscular, green and mean whenever some bad guy made him angry.
After being deputized, Lou Ferrigno who lives in Santa Monica, Calif., was quoted as saying that he always admired police officers because his father was a New York City police lieutenant. According to Wilhelm's news release, Matthew Ferrigno died in 2003, two years after he was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
i can sue you.

Lou is suing his BROTHER for using the Ferrigno name. Lou really is and always has been a piece of shit.

it looked like 4 plates and maybe a 5 er on each end. so 235 for a few sloppy reps. not too much for a guy who weighs 275 or so.

Lou is suing his BROTHER for using the Ferrigno name. Lou really is and always has been a piece of shit.
The part that seemed strange to me was how it said there was no animosity between Lou and his brother Andrew. Also, the fact that Lou's dad Matty started the business in 1980, and ran it with Andrew until Andrew took it over in 1994. So it's not even as if Andrew started the business and got the idea to copy the fitness theme and colouring [and photos of Lou on the wall, so it does seem obvious that the business was cashing in on Lou's name in the fitness industry [for $20] - Lou and Andrew's dad started it, and Andrew just took it over. That is a whole lot less culpability on Lou's brother, IMO.
My impression from reading a Muscular Development interview that Lou had back in the day with John Romano is that Lou doesn't seem to have the slightest clue as to what his name is worth. He even mentioned his autographs being sold on eBay for $300, when in reality, they are listed on eBay with zero bids, not even fetching the $20 [or $30 + FREE BOOK] that they go for at expos.
I believe it was John Romano said that Lou sold around 150 photos at one of the Mr. Olympia expos, and I recall hearing from another source that Ferrigno's booth was paid for by Joe Weider for many years/decades. So if that's $3,000 for the weekend and some DVD/book sales, and possibly hotel and travel or a per-diem covered by Weider also, you would think that Ferrigno would be making at least a few hundred thousand a year, with some opportunities for tax write-offs too since Lou is his own brand.
I have no idea why Lou would sue his own brother...unless the part about no animosity between the two was false. I hope that would be true and that Lou isn't this awful to family, but another Getbigger told me that Lou is very sue-happy. I'm going with the idea that Lou doesn't know what his name is worth, and thinks Ferrigno Fitness sells 150 photos of Lou a day for $20, when it's probably more like 5-10 a week for that price.

Maybe Lou is dead broke and needs money to survive.

Maybe Lou is dead broke and needs money to survive.
I can't see him making more like $200,000 a year on the expo scene, just going on the estimate of selling a couple of hundred autographed photos. In the MD interview, Lou said he did pay for the glossy prints himself, which I had forgotten Lou mentioned That's not exactly poor, but with kids and everything, a person can burn that money up. If all three of Lou's kids are in college, he could be spending that type of income quickly. Getbiggers go through that in a weekend.

He probably still pulls a small amount of royalties from his movies and The Incredible Hulk. Probably has health insurance through the SAG as well.

ediation ordered for Ferrignos
Area business owner sued by onetime "Hulk." Misuse of name alleged.
Thursday, May 18, 206
By TOM QUIGLEY
The Express-Times
GREENWICH TWP. | A federal magistrate has ordered Andrew Ferrigno and his television star brother Lou to settle their legal dispute over Ferrigno Fitness.
The Route 57 fitness store, which Andrew Ferrigno owns, is at the center of a federal lawsuit brought by Lou Ferrigno against his brother in early January.
On Wednesday, a federal magistrate ordered the brothers to seek an out-of-court agreement through a court-appointed mediator. Andrew Ferrigno's wife, Janie, is also a defendant and co-owner of the fitness shop.
"Mediation is a good idea," Phillipsburg attorney Scott Wilhelm said. "It's worth the effort in this case."
Wilhelm -- who represents Andrew Ferrigno, 52, of Bethlehem -- said it's a good opportunity for both sides to look at the strengths and weaknesses of the trademark rights case.
Lou Ferrigno, 53, of Santa Clara, Calif., claims in the suit his brother and sister-in-law are unlawfully trading on the name and image of the former action star, featured in the 1970s TV show "The Incredible Hulk."
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Trenton, claims the store has a green awning, portions of the interior are green, and one green wall is covered with photos of Lou Ferrigno in bodybuilding poses, as well as in his trademark green makeup for his role as the Hulk.
The lawsuit asserts that the "defendants deliberately chose a trade name incorporating the Ferrigno name in an effort to profit from the reputation and renown of Lou Ferrigno."
"On numerous occasions, Lou Ferrigno and members of his family have been contacted or approached by strangers or acquaintances who believe that Ferrigno Fitness is 'Lou's store,'" the complaint reads.
"We just think it's ludicrous and ridiculous," Andrew Ferrigno said Wednesday. "I've been in business more than 20 years."
Andrew Ferrigno said he and his brother have always had "a great relationship."
The Ferrigno brothers worked out together as young boys in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn years ago.
He said his brother Lou called him a couple of days before the suit was filed.
"His comment was it's strictly business and don't take it personally," Andrew Ferrigno said. He said he initially felt ashamed about the whole thing.
"Now I'm adamant," he said. "This is costing me money."
He said the photos of Lou Ferrigno in his shop were signed by the former actor and presented to his family.
"Those pictures were signed to my children," said Andrew Ferrigno, the father of one daughter and two sons.
The lawsuit also accuses the Warren County business of cybersquatting by registering the Internet domain name www.ferrignofitness.com. Lou Ferrigno says he has been using that corporate name for his own business ventures.
Andrew Ferrigno said he offered to change the Web site to settle the suit and his brother refused.
"He's very hard-nosed about this," he said.
Wilhelm has said Lou Ferrigno wants to shut down his brother's store and described the lawsuit as "bullying."
Newark attorney Anthony P. Callaghan, who is among the attorneys representing Lou Ferrigno, could not be reached for comment late Wednesday.
Andrew Ferrigno said he and his late father, Matthew, moved the business from Brooklyn to Greenwich Township more than 20 years ago.
The mediation is not binding and the case could still go to trial.

If Lou doesn't get the money it will make him angry. They will not like it when he gets angry.

Not a clue about what Lou is saying in that snippet? So if a gun was put to your head you'd be force to shrug your shoulders because you don't have a "god damn clue." It's always amazing to me that what is so blindingly clear and unambiguous to me, is entirely lost on others. Either I have some special "Spiderman senses" or the other is either deficient, lying, or afraid of taking a position (which I believe is where most people come from. Most don't like taking any kind of stand or position regardless how trivial because they are afraid of offending someone.
Fortunately this is the internet age and so much can now be confirmed with hard evidence. Like a lot of other movies, the entire word for word script can be obtain.

And I would say that from that moment on
when he first saw Arnold...
he wanted to be Mr. Olympia.
It was in his eye, in his heart,
and in his mind.
And it became part of his entire body.
Okay.
-Right, let me complete a full rep.
-Okay.
-One.
-Right.
-Two.
-Right.
Up!
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
-Okay, Dad.
-Okay, come on.
Up, up come on.
Make it harder. All right.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
All the way.
All right. All right. All right.
-That was easy.
-Easy? You do it.

pellius, I heard that too, but I didn't see a full rep. ;D

True. That was the first thing I noticed when I first saw PI as a kid. Only later would I realize that it was deliberate when I learned about the principles of continuous tension and TUT.

OMG. someone started a whole post just to try to prove he was right ( which he isnt and i will explain later). Someone really hates to be wrong. Spends a holiday weekend posting on a forum instead of having fun with family and friends. ( oops i forgot you dont have any except your mom cuz your living in her basement.) Anyways you can search and find this stuff in an attempt to prove your right but you cant find our conversation where i proved you wrong about mentzer being the first with a 300 score. no wonder your alone. Who could stand being around a person who argues all the time. Anyways if you listen closely you hear louie saying to his dad just as his dad speaks also. louie says "dont" and his dad says "on 2" then its right then its let me complete a full rep. louie was interupted and his dad talked over him then louie answered him and THEN continued on with his original comment. Why didnt your "script" mention that mr wise one? Listen to the playback. Do you here them ? No mention of it in your script. and of course there is NOT full rep anywhere in sight.

Lou sue's his brother who has a small store in Nowheresville, PA. No class.
-
If the today "#Metoo ladies " watch the begining of the clip with all those chick treating Arnold like a God '.... they'll hate forever lol .
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
I agree that he has no class. His brother ( and father) was trying to earn money from the ferrigno name. Its not just lou's name. His dad gave him the name. I do agree that they should of talked it over with lou ( and maybe they did) i mean they even painted the store "green" to capitilize on the hulk. smh. lou sues them but yet he charges for everything!! In actuality its his wife that controls him. She always has. This is his second wife. The first one didnt last long. This one controls everything and thats probably a good thing because i dont think big lou could do it himself. But he shouldnt be charging ( so much anyways) for pictures. hes not a big star. hes gotta do comic con and other things to make a few bucks. kinda sad but hey he had his moment in the sun so to speak. Which is alot more than most of us

Yes, I did. I love exposing fools like you. It's clear as day, everyone agrees, the hard copy of the actual dialogue confirms it and still you deny it. That's why the script didn't mention it. It wasn't there! What an idiot. You claim constantly that you are a "real man". Part of being a man is admitting you are wrong. And here you are clearly wrong. There is no wiggle room here. Wrong by actually listening to the tape, wrong by the published script, wrong by popular consensus. There is zero evidence to support your claim other than your skewed view point. And, FFS, use SpellCheck, you read like an illiterate 3rd grader. It's painful to read. Do you even graduate from high school? What a disgrace.
And now it's left to me to prove a point you want to make. You really are a special kind of stupid, fatso.

Good point. What some would call half reps could just as well be a bodybuilder keeping continual tension to get the greatest pump. After all, it's bodybuilding, not powerlifting.

It was obviously a bit more than half reps. Nowadays some barely extend beyond 90 degrees. And even some, like Jason Huh, do just pure partials. But, the bottom line seems to be that if you have the genetics and the drugs, and the enough food, it doesn't really matter how you train. You either have it or you don't.

Just listen to it. you will hear lou say dont just as his dad starts saying "on 2" then its what the script says. Its plain as day to anyone who listens to it CLOSELY . Not to difficult to prove you wrong on this. And name calling just proves how inmature you are. Every time your wrong or someone proves a point you dont agree with you go off on them. Who cares if i dont take the time to spell things perfect or space things etc. I did enough of that in school. this isnt important to me. Idont come on here for 'attention" because thats the only way i can get it ( like you)
So go ahead and keep ranting. I love it . The fact i live in your tiny head ( lot of free space in there im sure) Your always talking about "owning" someone. Well its pretty obvious Im doing the owning. I have a life. i dont give you one thought ever until i read the forum. you on the other hand constantly try to talk about yourself. Always saying you know the gracies you mouthed off to mma greats you beat up homeless people( i dont know the facts on that cuz i didnt read it) now your saying you know gh15 etc. Whats next? You were elvis presleys bodyguard? Stunt double? Or his best friend? LMAO Sometimes i agree with you and i have stated so. most of the time I dont. Hell in one of your posts when discussing the 300 score you even said i said "dickerson" got the first. Smh. did i correct you and point it out? No . It was a mistake on your end. You were so mad and typing crap you just got lost . It wasnt dickerson. it was carlos rodriques ( however its spelled) . Anways people just listen to the above video. You will here louie say it as his dad says on 2. ( matty talks over lou) Neither one is in the script. I am done arguing about this. Oh by t he way. i have never ever seen a pro or top amateur train with full reps in person. Sometimes they will for videos but in real life they dont. Not on heavy basic exercises. On isolation ones they will for the most part.

We all heard it. We all read it. You're wrong. Just stop. You are making even more of an ass of yourself.
And, of course, basic spelling, punctuation grammar is not important to you. Just like the way you speak. You can tell a lot about a person about how they speak. Just listen to the average nig. You can tell a lot about how a person dresses. I'm sure you don't care about that either and walk around with half your ass crack showing because you're too fat to get your pants around your waistline. You're just all around low brow and low class. I bet you don't even know how to hold a fork properly but hold like a cave man as you shovel food down your throat talking with your mouth full. Just like I said, low brow and low class. An ignorant, uneducated, barely literate embarassment. You are so out of your league with me.
And remember, as I said before, I didn't know you from Adam. It was you having these constant meltdowns because I say things you don't agree with.
And why would I make up that I know gh15? Everybody knows that. I was a fuking mod on his board and still keep in contact with him. Look at the date and look at who this PM is sent to. Jeeze man, are you dumb. And I keep proving it over and over again.
I suggest you just ignore me and not try to get into anything with me. You are going to lose. BTW, where's Escrima these days? -- Exactly.
-
Big deal. you get an email or text or whatever from a guy claiming to be gh15. I too was a member on his board. So what? Did you an he go out together hang out workout etc together? NO. In fact you have never met him when he was alive. You keep trying to be someone important but you are not. Like i said listen to the video you will here what i said and it is not in the "script" . Also if he didnt say that then where are the full reps oh wise one? smh. I have been trying to just ignore you and try to get along with you but its impossible to handle just stupidity. I dont live on a computer I dont live to argue and im not gonna do that now. Lets just agree to disagree on almost everything ok? Especially since im always right. I learned a long time ago to only say things when im right. I never wanted to be wrong and look stupid. So thats why when i say im always right its because I ONLY speak when i am right. period.

Everybody started jumping on gh and Tren because of gh15. His "pm answered" threads always got the views and the numbers. I never thought it was Nasser, and despite what some think, gh15 is still here and is the same old gh15 running his board.
HHmmm your trying to make us believe you know gh15 (the original) but in your own post you clearly say " I never THOUGHT it was nasser". if you actually knew who he was why did you say you never thought ? lmao. outed again!!

lol...that’s probably because we had something called pride pellius...when we loaded up the bar nearing our limits we actually BACKED OURSELVES too complete as MANY as we could and on the off chance we miscalculated the fact we might actually not get the bar back up...that was the “spotters” job....too save us from ourselves and gently touch that bar enough too get it moving.
Those days are LONG GONE...it’s called the show pony express looks first substance a distant....3rd.

The part that seemed strange to me was how it said there was no animosity between Lou and his brother Andrew. Also, the fact that Lou's dad Matty started the business in 1980, and ran it with Andrew until Andrew took it over in 1994. So it's not even as if Andrew started the business and got the idea to copy the fitness theme and colouring [and photos of Lou on the wall, so it does seem obvious that the business was cashing in on Lou's name in the fitness industry [for $20] - Lou and Andrew's dad started it, and Andrew just took it over. That is a whole lot less culpability on Lou's brother, IMO.
My impression from reading a Muscular Development interview that Lou had back in the day with John Romano is that Lou doesn't seem to have the slightest clue as to what his name is worth. He even mentioned his autographs being sold on eBay for $300, when in reality, they are listed on eBay with zero bids, not even fetching the $20 [or $30 + FREE BOOK] that they go for at expos.
I believe it was John Romano said that Lou sold around 150 photos at one of the Mr. Olympia expos, and I recall hearing from another source that Ferrigno's booth was paid for by Joe Weider for many years/decades. So if that's $3,000 for the weekend and some DVD/book sales, and possibly hotel and travel or a per-diem covered by Weider also, you would think that Ferrigno would be making at least a few hundred thousand a year, with some opportunities for tax write-offs too since Lou is his own brand.
I have no idea why Lou would sue his own brother...unless the part about no animosity between the two was false. I hope that would be true and that Lou isn't this awful to family, but another Getbigger told me that Lou is very sue-happy. I'm going with the idea that Lou doesn't know what his name is worth, and thinks Ferrigno Fitness sells 150 photos of Lou a day for $20, when it's probably more like 5-10 a week for that price.

gh15 has always existed as only an online personality. You questioned that. I prove you wrong -- again.
I have listened to the video, I posted it dummy, it's clear what he said, it's verified on the script, everybody agrees, only you are dumb enough with an ego that overrules any trace of rationality.
Agree to disagree? Again, fatman, you came after me. I only just respond to your idiocy. I understand there's a time limit on a computer at Fedex but someday you will be able to afford one of your own if you can ever get a job.
I know for someone like you ignoring someone as fascinating as I am is "impossible" but give it a try. Show some will power for once in your life. Maybe you can use that new found will power to get rid of that belt of flab around your waist and be able to post a pic without shame.

Jeeze you are just beyond retarded. You can verify from gh15 past history that I was communicating with him from the beginning. Just because I never thought it was Nasser how the hell does that mean that I know who gh15 is in real life? Damn, you really are a dumb, uneducated, fat fuck. Can't spell, can't speak, can think rationally.
I often wonder how guys like you make it this far in life without drowning in a toilet or getting suffocated to death in a trash bag. Your poor mom probably has to watch over you 24/7.

PELLIUS = meltdown
BIGBYCHOICES = winner
Just listen to video. Do not go off the script. Its kinda like doing the closed caption on your tv. Sometimes ( alot of times) what the cc says is NOT what the people say. Or the talk to text on your phone doesnt always get it right either. Name calling is so childish. Goes to show your mental state. You can not stand to be wrong. Its sad. Anyways i am done on this post. Go ahead keep bashing me. i will not even read this post any longer. Like i said before i cant fix stupid. But i will now go back and comment on other posts.

I have watched that dumbassed clip many times over the years, and I clearly heard Tin Ear say, "Laaaa lmet me dcomplete ah fool rip." He does a bunch of bottom-half reps (nothing wrong with that, btw), then finally does a rep to lock out. Then Lou starts in on "maykey tarded!" and that shit.
Oh, and as Fortress said: 205?
205? WTF? This had to have been very late in his workout or something?

LOL! I take it you're not a fan. Too bad he acted like such a dick with his own family. I think as a bber he would have absolutely dominated after Arnold retired. He was only around 22 year old in PI. But if he sharpened up more he would have beaten Franco and only get better as he matured would have destroyed Zane and Dickerson and I think Samir as well. He would have easily gotten 8 Olympias.
Thanks for adding to the unanimous agreement regarding what Lou was saying in that clip. I still get whiny posts on this and other threads by bigbychoice who still insists the tape, the script, and all the rest of us are wrong.

Heh, no problem, my man!
As to what Lou said, "Leh me compluh uh ferr rip!" just fits the nature of his set. Bottom partials until near failure, then finish on a couple of full ones. That's the only point Matty intervened; it's not like he had his hands down midrange throughout the set, stopping Lou shy of locking out.
I guess you could say I admired his build, but nah -- not a big fan of his person. I understand he had a hard time growing up and Matty was a prick father, but by most accounts, Louie chose to let his early years define himself as yet another bitter, angry jerk as an adult. And it IS a choice. Plenty of people who had unhappy childhoods turned out to be great men.
I have to agree that he would have owned the Olympia had he continued, though. I think a peak Samir would have been his first real challenge...Zane was awesome but simply too small. Franco would have a chance in '76 but never again. Dickerson wouldn't even register. Arnold would have never attempted a comeback. Only when Haney hit his stride would Lou realize he was up against another Arnold-type and think about calling it quits.
