The 10 Best NFL Teams of All-Time To Not Win The Super Bowl… Thursday, Jan 26 2012 

This is pretty cool. There’s  a brief description of the game with some footage underneath each one. I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I’m gonna enjoy the game anyway.

The 10 Best NFL Teams of All-Time To Not Win The Super Bowl

With the Giants and Pats facing off in a Super Bowl rematch, we can’t forget the significance of the first matchup. The Pats were 1 win away from an undefeated season and most likely would’ve been called, The Greatest Team of All-Time. But one Giant loss forever altered how they’ll be remembered 10, 20, 30 years down the road. Unfortunately, history rarely remembers the losers; the teams who came up short despite their overwhelming dominance in the regular season. This list will countdown the top teams to not win the Super Bowl in their respective seasons. Let us know if we missed any teams in the comments.

The Assasin: Jack Tatum Dead at 61 Tuesday, Jul 27 2010 

Hard hitting, neck snapping safety dies at 61.

Yes he hit a man so hard that he broke his neck, but he was one hell of a baller.

Former Raiders’ ‘Assassin’ Jack Tatum Dies at 61

COLUMBUS, Ohio — He was called the “Assassin.”

Jack Tatum was one of the hardest hitters in the NFL, a Pro Bowl safety who intimidated opposing players with bone-jarring tackles that helped make his Oakland Raiders one of toughest teams of its era.

He’s also a player who will always be tied to one of the game’s most tragic moments — a hit in a preseason game that left New England Patriots receiver Darryl Stingley paralyzed from the neck down.

Tatum died Tuesday at age 61 in an Oakland hospital. The cause was a massive heart attack, according to friend and former Ohio State teammate John Hicks. Tatum had battled diabetes and other health problems for years, Hicks said.

The collision with Stingley happened Aug. 12, 1978, at Oakland Coliseum.

John Madden Monday, Sep 21 2009 

John Madden has been one of my favorite personalities in football.
I am a Raiders fan, been one since I was a kid, at least 35 years now. John Madden was the best coach the Raiders ever had, in my opinion. He brought a lot to the game after he retired as a coach and entered the broadcasting field. 30 years, 1979 to 2009 was a hell of a run. He gave insights that most of the commentators couldn’t come close to.

He coached as he commented on the games. He’ll be sorely missed.
