An interesting story is when Bosworth openly talked trash the Denver quarterback John Elway. 10,000 Denver fans wore $15 t-shirts that read, “BAN THE BOZ.” Only thing was that those T-shirts were manufactured by Bosworth’s company So he certainly got the last laugh. But the Seahawks weren’t laughing and they essentially forced him into retirement after only a couple seasons. Since then he has been doing what any out of work athlete does.. Playing woefully ironic characters in movies.
