Quote:The following is an awesome video tribute of Todd Christensen as a TE with the Raiders.   It brings back great memories and provides new appreciations.   When it comes to videos that someone put together,  it doesn't get much better than this.   The same regarding Todd Christensen as a receiving TE.   When one watches this,   it's easy to see why Todd Christensen was one of the key players on two Raiders Super Bowl winning teams:

Thanks for posting that link.  Such an NFL classic in several ways.  Christensen  - old-skool NFL Films - the poem by Steve Sabol -  Stabler - everything about it.  The Raiders adopted that poem as their own.  

 

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">The Autumn Wind is a pirate,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">Blustering in from sea,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">With a rollocking song, he sweeps along,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">Swaggering boisterously.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">

His face is weather beaten.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">He wears a hooded sash,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">With a silver hat about his head,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">And a bristling black mustache.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">

He growls as he storms the country,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">A villain big and bold.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">As he robs them of their gold.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">

The Autumn Wind is a raider,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">Pillaging just for fun.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">He'll knock you 'round and upside down,

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif;font-size:13px;">And laugh when he's conquered and won.
