Ex-Raider Jack Tatum Dies at Age 61

What do you say when an athlete that you had intense dislike for for over thirty years dies too young? Do you express remorse? Do you celebrate? Do you say nothing?

Tatum is known to Patriots fans for not only breaking Darryl Stingley's neck in a meaningless preseason game in 1978, but never meeting once with the man he put in a wheelchair following the attack. He was unapologetic about his place in NFL history, writing three books that played up on the "Assassin" angle. To our eyes he was kinda scum, but then we never met the man to judge him face to face.

We guess the appropriate thing is to say nothing, but it's too late for that. We've already posted this entry.
