Tatum may have been a mean son of a bitch on the field.

But don't pretend you knew him off of it. You don't have to respect the guy for what he did on the field. But I take exception when you call him a disgusting human being when you know nothing about him. I lived in Ohio for several years. The guy was extremely active in the community in promoting diabetes research. He may have put a guy in a wheelchair, but I know firsthand that he has done a shitload of work that has led to taking people out of wheelchairs.

He's a dirty player. Dont' pretend that football and personal lives are the same thing.
