A very sad play one I have watched several times. Everytime I have seen it I think think why didn't the kid pop up. The ugly side of a sport where men hit~

Tatum was one of those guys you loved to hate.
Old school player. Heavy hitter. Nasty attitude. Raider uniform. Pet skunk on chain. Personally, I think the league has become so safety conscious that a lot of people forget just how incredibly violent the NFL used to be. What might seem like an overly aggressive hit today was business as usual back in those days ... not to mention entirely legal. FAX |

Hardest hitter I ever saw. Makes Ronnie Lott and Steve Atwater look like soft pussies in comparison.
I'll never forget the collision he had with Earl Campbell on the goal line. Talk about two Mack trucks colliding. RIP.

The cool thing is that, even though the Raiders were filthy, dirty, low-down, cheatin', good-for-nothin's, the Chiefs (who always played clean and by the rules and, if they knocked somebody down or something, they'd always help them back up) would kick their filthy, rotten, cheatin' asses anyhow.

I hated the Raiders back then more than I hated anything else on the planet. They were lying, cheating scum.
Matt Millen was a dirty, dirty player. So was Howie Long and Lester Hayes and Ben Davidson and Steve Wisniewski and Todd Christensen and Lyle Alzado and Fred Biletnikoff and Ken Stabler and all those mediocre running backs and George Blanda and John Madden and Ray Guy and pretty much everyone else. However, I have to say that Tatum was no dirtier than a typical NFL player. He was borderline, but he was far from the worst of the Raiders. Ben Davidson and Lester Hayes and Matt Millen and Lyle Alzado and Howie Long were the cheapest, nastiest, most dirty players that team produced.

Personally I miss the days when the Raiders were a team that we could hate.

Yeah, back in the old days it was Clint Eastwood versus Lee Marvin and Darth Vader and that guy in Cape Fear. It's less dramatic when it's Clint Eastwood versus Don Knotts. Or sadly, when it's Peewee Herman versus Don Knotts.

Proof of that nature may be difficult to locate. The fact is that Tatum didn't have the kind of personality that allowed him to show true remorse in a public setting. He was the kind of guy who demonstrated remorse by holding up a bank or throttling a baby kitten with his bare hands or setting fire to a homeless person ... something like that.
