Dexter Bussey was a recent guest on Fred Heuman's 10:00 A.M.-Noon local sports talk show. It was fun to hear Dexter discuss his career and pursuits since he ended his gridiron career. He currently owns an "I.T." company in the Detroit area and also is an employee of the NFL. He is in charge of making sure that all players meet official uniform codes and that no unauthorized logos or equipment are visible or being used. He says the players refer to him as the "Fashion Police" and quite often go out of their way to avoid him on game days. He also recounted an anecdote about his rookie season with the Lions in a game where the Lions defeated the Minnesota Vikings, referring to it as his most memorable game in football. The game was Dec. 14, 1975, and finished with a score of 17-10 at the Silverdome. Bussey said that as a rookie, he was nervous entering the last drive of the game, in which the Lions were going to attempt to run out the clock through handing the ball off. He said that Offensive Linemen Rockne Freitas and Bob Kowalkowski took him aside and explained to him where he should run and how he should execute those runs. Their instruction calmed him down and they were able to win the game. After the game, the team carried Head Coach Rick Forzano off the field on their shoulders in celebration.

He also discussed why he was willing to give up his attempts rushing the ball to Billy Sims after the Lions selected Sims in the draft. Bussey said that he had done the same thing, to Altie Taylor, so it just seemed like a natural progression of things. Bussey was a Lion from 1975-1984 and had 1,203 career rushing attempts that gained 5, 105 yards. He scored 18 TDS and rushed for an average of 4.2 yards per carry.
