"Lombardi said, 'Act like you've been there before' always kept me from embarrassing another player as a result of something I had done. Those that I played against were pros, and where respect is received, it should be given, which would not let me be demonstrative because of my success or his failure." ..... Mike Bass

Retires from Pro-Football

Mike Bass retired from the Washington Football Team during the 1976 training camp, having been the starting right corner back since 1969 when Vince Lombardi inserted him in the line-up. During his career, he played 104 consecutive games, gave up only 8 touchdown passes, scored 6 touchdowns (4 by interceptions), and was considered one of the smartest cornerbacks in the NFL. Apparently, Vince Lombardi saw something in Mike Bass that the Detroit Lions just couldn't see.
