hey retards they wernt dirty at all those hits were legal

Raiders suck poo

man its so sad to watch this cause these Raiders these men of the Bay area in the early to mid 70’s it was more than football… It was the Black Panther movement the A’s winning titles the Hells Angels with Sonny Barger… thats the real OAKLAND and the real Raiders NOT THIS COSTUME SIDE SHOW that is the black hole…. God Bless the REAL RAIDERS…

@trentiepoo no need to throw insults it wasnt fighting it was football. and hit the guy with the ball as hard as humanly possilble. but why try to end peoples career?ur just mad cuz dey found ur mom smokin raider cock and rock down by the railroad traks.can u fix that mistake?GO STEELERS! we got 6 so suc my….

@9000russell wow, your a dumbass. it wasnt illigal to play like that back then, anyone could do it, but noone wanted to mess with 2 badass raiders athletes. post a comment when you actually know what your talking about so i dont have to correct one of your dumbass mistakes again.

hahahha, You can see it in their eyes, you can see fear in the recievers face.

Bitch ass Steelers dont know the rule of the streets.. RAIDERS FOR LIFE.

@9000russell haha, tell that to the guys he neck tackled. Fact is, football was a very different game back then. A lot of what he did was legal for the time, but would be considered cheating today. Atkinson and Tatum are still regarded as one of the best/ most feared secondary of all time.

atkinson wasnt even that talented so he tried to make it up with cheating. he actualy sucked

@doobiesz i like that line

“Well, that guy is 6′5 230lbs and I’m 5′11 180lbs and I just had to let him know that’s the way it’s gonna be today.”

George Atkinson was about as bad ass as they come.

Randy Moss wouldnt quit during a game against these 2, he wouldnt even show up, he’d call in sick

if you put them hits out today on a player thats a15 yard penalty

2:02 “Semi-concussiony” LOL

The Autumn is Raider . . . .

check out the jack tatum vs earl campbell hit.. It was like two planets colliding lol

Those two guys were specialists in the game of football. And, it does speak volumes that Tatum and Atkinson were targeted by Noll, but Noll wouldn’t label his own players for their actions…heck no, if the Steelers wanted to dope up, get ‘roids, that was fine. But heaven forbid if your opponent had naturally rough players with the skillset to win games.
If I had to pick a defensive player for a team, give me Tatum.

Jack Tatum is Fuckin VIOLENT

@1luvJAYJAY ON GOD I’VE HEARD THAT OVERUSED WORD SO MUCH THIS YEAR IT MAKE ME SICK!

To set a couple things straight: First, in my book, ANY DB able to make a career in the NFL is a very good athlete, and Atkinson & Tatum (especially the latter) not only did that, but excelled. Secondly, though, it is not true that these guys were regarded as just ‘the norm’ back in those more lenient times, which I remember personally. Their reputation was definitely on the dirty side (sorry, Paul). Also, many of their shots were NOT legal, even back then, but were often not caught by the refs.

That was when the Raiders really were the Raiders: a bad ass team with outlaw players who won games.

Let the people have their heroes. Are you not entertained?

you also might be able to see pnut is not a child by his argument its actually pretty well put together with good vocabulary :)

Damn i bet the NFL was the shit back than with hard hits like that the Raiders had Tatum & Atkinson what more can you ask.
