He was a fitting mascot for Madden's Raiders. Glad he never made it to the Hall.

I loved the Madden Raiders.

I hated Jack Tatum.

I didn't realize until I read the article that he was part of the Immaculate Reception.

If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

A more fitting name would have been "The Raptor".

He broke bodies and made no apologies.

Tonight, Mr. Tatum, we dine in hell!

The articles I read said he never made the Hall of Fame because he never said he was sorry for what he did. The way he tackled people is now against the rules and would draw a personal foul.

He was before my time but I read one of his autobiographies in High school. What a Monster. I say that in a good way.

One of the most over-rated players of all time. He never met a sideline he didn't like.
