Tatum released the book they call me the assassin. In 1980,that cleared things up. A little. He said he didn't think the hit was bad. He said when he didn't move at all, and they brought the stretcher out,he was concerned. John Madden used to visit Stingley in the hospital. And he said, Tatum tried to vist him in the hospital. I don't know, but Madden retired after that game.

Jack Tatum once said to opposing quarterbacks, "don't throw the ball over the middle of the field or your receiver is going to get killed."

They say a lot of things on the field. That’s part of psyching out your opponents. You must have never played fb in your life.

Jack was my favorite player growing up.... Him and Ronnie Lott.

Steve Grogan should apologize for throwing that hospital pass. Stingley had to reach out and up while running into the middle… Tatum’s territory. Grogan left him unprotected.

Everybody wants to point fingers. Yes it's a sad situation but it is football anybody can get hurt anytime😢😮. And if they didn't invent football none of this would have happened .

I wish people would talk about The blind side wide receiver blocks that were legal back then they were just as devastating as the tackles we watched on this video but nobody talks about that

Everyone bitching about Jack Tatum who did nothing wrong, yet they tune into football every Sunday.

LOL at all the Tatum haters commenting on these KZread clips. Keyboard warriors that probably didn't even play football in high school. Football is a Alpha sport, and Betas will never understand...

Professional Football is a violent sport and if you choose to play be ready pay. Jack Tatum played the sport the way it had been played for many years. "Come into my area be ready to pay the price." the answer "Dont go into his area." Many defensive and some offensive players played with the same attitude. Thats what made the NFL the game it was. I say it was, because its a gone now. The Fan base is shrinking fast! But glad I got to see it when it was real! I never watch it anymore. I stay with College more Real!
