4. Overrated psychopath
The only reason this guy's career isn't as a special teams player and backup journeyman linebacker is because he made a name for himself being a useless asshole. Butkus was mean, but he never felt the need to put a teammate in the hospital for no reason.

14. jerk yes
useless no. He has never missed a game, been voted to the pro bowl by his peers. He is a good linebacker, he is just a jerk and lacks social skills :)

MY opinon is not swayed by the fact that he is on the raiders :evilgrin:

23. No
Edited on Wed Sep-10-03 11:30 AM by VermontDem2004
because he played in 220 out of 241 games, he has 1,105 (879 solo) career tackles, 37 sacks, 18 interceptions, and 16 forced fumbles. This guy is an amazing talent, but is crazy sometimes, also a two time pro bowler. But teammates do fight, not all of them are reported in the news.

25. That was a clean hit though
He didn't spear him or anything. It is unfortunate what happened to Stingley but, that happens. Tatum deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

26. Your 100% correct
Edited on Wed Sep-10-03 11:19 AM by VermontDem2004
it was a clean hit, he said he felt very unfortanate about it but he will never say the hit he did was wrong. He hit him once the guy caught the ball, it is perfectly legal and it was very unfortanate what happened to him.

18. He was a trash talker, and he still is one (IMO). His analysis is lame and
biased.

13. He is a punk ass roid freak who sucked when he played for the niners
He's mediocre. Lucky to have played a supporting role on Super Bowl teams led by players with real class like Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, and John Elway.

24. He didn't suck but he wasn't the best LB
He got 445(336 were solo) tackles in 6 years with the niners, his last year with them he got over a 100 tackles. Ken Norton Junior was the one of the greatest LB San Francisco ever had if not the best. He also got 7 sacks with them he also forced 4 fumbles with them and got 2 INT's. He had great seasons with the Broncos and last year with the Raiders he got 91 tackles(68 solo), 4 sacks, and 1 INT.

19. ugh...
then yes, I'll vote for him as the biggest asshole in the NFL.

And that's saying a lot, considering the asshole/normal person ratio in the NFL.
