Ludicrous NFL Workout Video From 1987 Features Some Ludicrous Mustaches

1987: When professional football players were men. Real men. With mustaches. Who made NFL workout videos.

Allow NFL great Phil Simms and his goofily-mustachioed colleagues to transport you back to the golden age of masculinity. Today's men have to use their arms to do curls. Back in Simms' day, they used their 'staches.

So, why did they name the workout after the one guy in the video with the least facial hair? As I understand it, Simms was like the Rudy of the late-'80s NFL, fighting his way onto a pro roster despite the handicap of being clean-shaven. His story and his workout are truly an inspiration to us all.
