      Black Jack Tatum was a viciously savage animal, snapping Daryl Stingley spine. It ended really sad for Jack with diabetes taking both of his legs before he died. The sight of both Stingley and Tatum in wheelchairs is one of the most bitter pictures in football history.

    I met Ray Guy the year he was drafted. I was in a mall in Hayward, about 10 miles south of Oakland and I was wearing a Raider sweatshirt because my parents were a season-ticket holders. Ray Guy was walking through the mall with his girlfriend , saw me with the sweatshirt on, came over, introduced himself and shook my hand and talked to me for a few minutes, real cool guy, will never forget it. I was like 8 years old.

      You were at Southland Mall in Hayward California. Growing up in Fremont California. That’s the mall I started ice skating at 12 and playing Hockey. Also spent my childhood going to the California Golden Seal Hockey games, Oakland Raiders Games, And was fortunate enough to go to two World Series games when The Oakland A’s won.

    I had season tickets to the Raiders during this time period. When they played the Colesium was electrified. During one Monday night football game between the Raiders and the Houston Oilers Ray Guy had a phenomenal night punting the football giving the Raiders a huge advantage. The Oilers coach, Bum Phillips, stated that he thought the Raiderrs had cheated by filling the football with helium. He took a few of these back to Houston and had them checked. No helium, just an incredible punting performance. Ray Guy was also a very good all around athlete.... I loved watching him play.

    Back in the 70's the Raiders had training camp in Santa Rosa, Cal. at a hotel called El Rancho Tropicana. My Brother lived behind their fields, and one time I went to visit him, and looked over the wood fence to watch them. Ray Guy was out on one field all by himself with 2 blocking dummies set up at the 20 yard line. He was punting balls 80 yards into the far end zone on a fly. I could not believe it.

    When Ray Guy was inducted into the pro football Hall of Fame there were 18 other punters in attentendence to support the "godfather of punters".
    Guy's main talent, besides leg strength was in punting to the exact spot where the ball should land, often
    punting it to the 5 or 10 yard line at an angle so that it would roll out of bounds, preventing a return.

    I forget who the announcer was (maybe Dick Enberg), but I think it was a game at Mile High in Denver. Guy was punting and when the ball left his foot, all the announcer could say was “Oh my!”. That ball rose like a rocket and just kept going and going.

  • @mactherealestateman
    @mactherealestateman 2 месяца назад +1

    Every kid in the Bay Area knew 3 players: Snake, Ghost, and Ray Guy. Off top of your head. (Of course when the 49ers started winning, all that changed). But Ray Guy stood out. Reggie Roby was the closest that you came in those days. In the 2010s, the 49ers has Amp Lee, and the Raidera had Shane Lechler. 2 outstanding punters in the Ray Guy vein. I loved those Bay Area battles, if not just to see those 2 punt it out. But Ray was the prototype. Rest in peace my man.

    The Longest Punt in NFL History was 98 yards by Steve O'Neal of the New York Jets (1969). O'Neal's 98-yard punt is the longest in NFL history, launched from the very back of the end zone. It was against the Detroit Lions and it still holds the record for longest punt ever. It's a mark that will be almost, if not completely, impossible for any future punters to match.

    The fact that a player of Ray Guy's quality had to wait for so long to be inducted to the HOF reinforces the feeling that the Raiders are consistently marginalised. Jim Plunkett is STILL nowhere near being inducted, depsite resurecting his career from the trash can and becoming not only a double Super Bowl winner, but the first Hispanic QB to win a Championship ring.
