He used to put some awesome hits on receivers. Drew a flag from time to time as well.

61 is way too young.

The Assassin is dead. Daryl Stingley could not be reached for comment.

Oh, no, we're losing all the old Raiders. I inherited season tickets for the last couple of years they were in L.A. and their games were the most fun you could have on a Sunday afternoon.

Take your vitamins, Howie Long!

Lord have mercy on him. He does have a thing or two to answer for.

Well, from a die-hard Steelers fan and one who lived through the 70’s dynasty and Lynn Swann’s concussion and Darryl Stingley’s hit (tatum helmet speared him folks, I watched it!)Just one thing to say:

Sayonara, jerk!

The NFL was so much more colorful in the 70’s and the Raiders definitely had the brightest cast of characters.

RIP Mr Tatum

What a fabulous defensive back. I remember watching him in Ohio Stadium, taking Michigan QB Franklin right out of his cleats. And naturally his collision with Frenchy Fuqua leading to the Immaculate Reception is a thing of legend. It’s always a shame to lose a Buckeye.

He was part of a great 3 year run for the Buckeyes from 1968-1970. They only lost to Michigan in ‘69 and Stanford in the Rose Bowl after the 1970 season. And of course they went undefeated in 1968 crushing the OJ Simpson lead USC Trojans. They actually still sell his jersey at the Buckeyes website.

If it weren't for the Steelers' great run during the 1970's, it's very likely that the Raiders could have won at least two more Super Bowls in that decade--that was back in the days when Al Davis was WAY ahead of the curve in terms of developing great teams.
