This Seahawk fan remembers many tough battles against The Snake.
RIP.

Very good player on perhaps the most despicable squads to ever take the field when he played for Oakland.

Always liked his quote about how he liked to prepare for games by studying the game plan by the light of a juke box.

Kenny was quite the character in those days. R.I.P.

I wonder if his passing will nudge him in?

I hate when a guy is inducted posthumously.

Did his stats get better with his passing?

If he deserves to get in,let him appreciate the accolades while he's still alive.

A Raiders fan complaining about cheap shots? Really? LOL Those '70s Raiders teams were perhaps the dirtiest teams of all-time.

Yeah, it was fucking great. Lester Hayes, Tatum, Matusak.. Great D

Kenny broke my heart in 76...

Top Ten Controversial Calls: Suger Bear penalty - NFL Videos

At least the Raiders of that era admit they got a gift (unlike the 2001 Patriots). Kenny himself said he saw nothing wrong with the hit. Today's game it would be an instant penalty, back then it just wasn't called. As bad as the call was in 76, the Pats had a chance to stop them - didn't, and Stabler won it for them. In 2001, the Raiders still could have iced the game after the Tuck call... and likewise didn't do it.

Players from that era were awesome. Played for peanuts, got the sh*t kicked out them, and genuinely loved the game.

The Snake was a true warrior that I had the privilege of watching.

Godspeed Mr Stabler

I wish people would learn to take colon cancer seriously. All it takes is to have a colonoscopy starting by age 50 (sooner if you have a family history of colon cancer). I've had 7 colonoscopies and the doctors found the start of cancer twice so far. While the doctor is doing the procedure and spots the cancer polyps, he can remove them immediately.

Please everyone take this seriously and talk to your doctors about doing this. It's very easy and painless procedure.

Good post and very true. I hate those things (the prep part) but it's in my family history, so I do it.

How the hell is he not in the HOF?

another mind numbing omission by the HOF selection committee.

How the hell is he not in the HOF?

Idk. He should be.

How the hell is he not in the HOF?

I always wondered that too. RIP
