Greatest coach ever. Greatest football commentator ever. Greatest video game creator ever. Some people only get to do one thing - he did 1M things, did them so well and loved every minute of it. RIP Coach.
For all of Mr. Madden's success in football both on and off the field-what, I will always remember most about him was his humanity. In 1978 during an exhibition game between the Raiders and Patriots-Patriots WR Darryl Stingley was paralyzed following a hit by Raider Jack Tatum. Mr. Madden rushed to the hospital after the game to be with Mr. Stingley. When he discovered that no one from the Patriot organization had come to be with Mr. Stingley-Mr. Madden called the airport and demanded that then Patriot coach Chuck Fairbanks come off the plane and be with Mr. Stingley's family. Mr. Madden went on to provide the Stingley family his home and car for as long as then needed and the story goes he helped pay Mr. Stingley's medical bills when the Patriots insurance company balked at paying the whole bill. Mr. Madden remained friends with Mr. Stingley right up until the time of his passing.
Did Heidi's pet dog return back to the village?...😆...just jiving (jk), just making laugther!. That 68' season year game finally was our 'OTHER' last play error that kept us from appearing in the SB...77' F'n Lytle Fumble season year finally playoff was the other. WOW ---we were truly Baddass.
The weather conditions in Shea Stadium for the 1968 AFL championship was described as a "violent wind" with gusts up to 30 mph. Interesting in 1969 when the Chiefs came to Shea Stadium for a playoff game against the Jets-the weather conditions where almost identical and played a major factor in how the game was played
👍❤, thanks David ---true FYI insight and did not more of that....makes both of those dufus Bob Costas and Peter King on that current documentary sound like kiss ass.
👍, Thanks on that info. I just saw the clip in it's entirety ---it was certainly 'Coffee, bagel and this clip for 15 minutes' for the start of the day. I posted a comment on here too.
Watts Raider ---Thanks! This one is a keeper!. I knew that our 77' game playoff game against Broncos SHOULD had been our 'other' SB appearance due to one play ----but this 68' game playoff of that lateral (that costed us) would had been our OTHER SB year too missed.
Growing up from when I would play tackle football no pads all day long with/against neighborhood kids all 2 to 8+ years older than me on the field around the corner = earning respect from taking my lumps from 5 to 14 years of age, watching the Raiders dominate winning 2 Superbowls and and then playing Pop Warner from age 9 to 14 through junior high and then playing high school football(all-the-while being known to able to throw and punt a football way farther than anyone else), we still had the highest winning percentage for any team in all of professional sports and had the most wins on Monday Night Football. Then, we went through some QBs Schroeder, Marinovich, Hostettler... and finally got Rich Gannon and a young Jon Gruden and within 1 season looked like we were one of the best, if not the best in football, but then we got screwed in the playoffs, and for whatever reason, probably the same reasons that our beloved Al Davis had for limiting our "Secret Weapon" Marcus Allen's play time, arrogance, pride, overconfidence, etc, he traded our young hot tempered Head Coach that would get into screaming matches with our hot-headed QB on the sidelines of games, to the Buccs for a 1st round draft pick and $1M... then, promoted Bill Callahan which started well 4-0, then 0-4 = 4-4 then got hot to finish the regular season 12-4, and then our playoff games started close, but we dominated the 2nd halfs of those games... Superbowl vs the team we'd demolished with Gruden at the helm a year before in Tampa 48-10, but Callahan changed the gameplan Robbins had a nervous breakdown and Gruden taught his defense everything that we did on offense and it was as if they knew every play... they did as confirmed by John Lynch. And that was the beginning of the end of our short-lived run for a long time, then despite having a difficult time getting competent coaches and then, GMs after Davis passed that traded away our draft picks and stars for players that were not any good with the exception of Richard Seymour, we finally had a draft that we picked the guys that I wanted us to pick, at least the 1st two, Mack and Carr!!! AND we looked like things were starting to turn around. But it took a couple of years, then we had finally built a quality team that won because our young amazing QB was clutch, but we all know how that season ended, and then bonehead Del Rio fired Bill Musgrave, and his wife made her political beliefs known and caused a rift in our locker room after starting the season hot, we went to shit, and Gruden came in and instead of keeping Mack, whom didn't like him for what he said about him draft night, and went on to gut the team that was so close to being Superbowl Champions a couple seasons before and season after season of rebuilding we finally had the team, but the corrupt NFL front office blew it up, then our explosive young star receiver blew up a woman and her dog, RIP, and we lost a bunch of games because of the emotional toll, but still managed to pull out 4 in a row to finish the season to make the playoffs despite not having a true number 1 XWR, only to have some questionable calls in the loss by a touchdown to the eventual AFC Superbowl representative that almost won if not for corrupt refs calling bogus penalties, like what had happened a lot since Goodell became the NFL gatekeeper... but now we have the best team we've had in 20 years with the most competent and actually brilliant management, genius coaching staff and most talented players with trading for the best XWR in the game and best friend of my all-time favorite QB, Top2 slot receiver, Top3 TE, great RB room, best O Line coach in recent history, possibly the best edge rusher duo in the league, possibly a bunch of really good DTs, a stud MLB and underrated OLBs, and an up-and-coming DB room... with possibly the best OC & DC duo in the league... and I am loving every moment of this offseason and I have been thinking and feeling the 2022 Las Vegas Raiders Superbowl Champions!!! Let's EFFIN GO Raider Nation!!! Just Win Baby... Just Win, the Superbowl, Baby!!! RN4L
I'll never forget the best speech John Madden gave his players when they played the colts the ghost to the post game he said I'm not one for speeches and what I told my team to this day I'll never know what it means but he said guys don't worry if the horse is blind just get on the wagon and go and the all loosened up and went out and won the game in the end that was John Madden
Rauch went to Buffalo-and totally flopped--I don't know what his motivation would have been to go there as their owner (Ralph Wilson) was a meddling idiot who surrounded himself with "Yes" men. In fact the current success of the Bills has a lot to do with the new ownership (Terry/KIm Pegula)
@@bufnyfan1 My recollection is Rauch felt unappreciated and\or wanted more autonomy than Al Davis would tolerate. Coaching Buffalo turned out to be a bad career move, as they say. He didn’t show much acumen, taking the reins of a team what had won five games the preceding two seasons, trying to install the vertical game he loved with waffle-armed passers and employing their notorious running back from USC as a decoy.
@@balrog322 👍, your points should be in that F'n sucked ALL Madden documentary ---cause it's made by bandwagoners. Tell me ---you wanna hear dufus Bob Costas and Peter King input on the documentary OR the voice of God (Facenda) on it.
It's just tragic that the Raiders couldn't have put together a similar game plan in the 1969 AFL Championship than they did in the 1968 sudden-death playoff game against the Chiefs. They would have beaten the Vikings probably easier than the Chiefs did in Super Bowl 4
15:25 A "piling on" penalty. Sounds funny. It's been a long time since I've heard of a piling on penalty. Doesn't happen much anymore I guess anyway. It was a "late hit" actually as only one player was involved. But no matter. I love these old films and the announcing.
I was just a kid, but I do remember Lamonica had a knack of screwing up at the most inopportune time. Lamonica finally lost his OB job to Stabler in the Immaculate Reception game in the 4th quarter. With Stabler at QB the NFL had to find other ways to screw over the Raiders. ***Thanks for video, brought back memories of watching the Raiders with my dad😊
Michael Slack Michael in 1968 the 2 best teams in the NFL and AFL were the New York Jets and Baltimore Colts. Know who the 2 worst teams were? The Cheatriots in the AGO and the Squealers in the NFL. I rest my case,friend.

Warren Wells may have had his troubles off the field but man could he fly, Some of the best hands ever.
there was a strong belief that if Wells hadn't gotten into legal problems-he would have gone on to be the "Jerry Rice" of his generation
Badass!'Thanks for posting.
Certainly is 👍❤
15:50 The final choke! Great pass Lamonica. You couldn't hold Snakes jock.
Bob, it was the Wind right ---and not trying to back him up.
John Rauch was the Raider coach in 1968. Madden succeeded him the following season.
Rauch went to Buffalo-and totally flopped--I don't know what his motivation would have been to go there as their owner (Ralph Wilson) was a meddling idiot who surrounded himself with "Yes" men. In fact the current success of the Bills has a lot to do with the new ownership (Terry/KIm Pegula)

@@bufnyfan1 ---maybe it was future consideration package, for when they swapped Lamonica 3yrs earlier from Buffalo.

Pride, poise, and breaking teeth!
Michael Lubin breaking teeth, better than no teeth!
I'm so broken hearted about us leaving our ancestral home, it's my sincere hope that we take Gorillarilla and his crew with us...
My Raiders are gone. But the memories will forever remain. The Raiders are Oakland. Never be a Las Vegas fan.
If the Raiders played on Mars I'll still love them. Will forever bleed silver and black.

I never knew George Atkinson played Kick & Punt return ... and was running them back to the house

Warren Wells could’ve been a all time great receiver if he could’ve stayed out of trouble.
its been said Wells would have been the "Jerry Rice" of his era if he had not got in trouble with the law
He had Antonio Brown issues or just regular Josh Gordon?
RIP coach.
Do you have highlights of the 1969 Raiders?
i did a video on clem daniels etc but i couldnt find 69 exactly i dont think.
@@WattsRaider 👍, thank You. Gonna keep and start a collection to replay them when I pound my 40oz'rs
The Heidi game, how come no mention of Jim Hudson flipping off the crowd in Oakland?
did i see a dent in there helmet was it made out of steel???
time? raiders helmets were made by a MFG that had bumps over the ears so they look dented at some angles
Just. Watched. Your. Tribute. Too madden.was. great. But how about. Some. Fresh love. For. Madden
