Raiders legend Daryle Lamonica, nicknamed 'The Mad Bomber,' dies at 80

Lamonica will always be known as a Raiders legend, but he'll be part of the history of football for another reason: He was Oakland's quarterback in the famed "Heidi Game" in 1968. He threw four touchdowns in an incredible last-minute comeback over the New York Jets, but millions of viewers in the Eastern and Central time zones didn't get to see it. The game ran incredibly long, and an NBC executive made the choice to cut away and show the movie "Heidi" instead of Oakland completing their comeback in the final minute of the game.

My brother was a Raiders fan and was a Jets Fan in them days. I think that's the game my mother got tired of our bickering and made us stand for the National Anthem. Lol
