Tony Dorsett 99 Yard Touchdown Run – January 3, 1983
On January 3, 1983, during a Monday Night Football game in Minnesota, Dorsett broke a 99-yard touchdown run against the Vikings, which is the longest run from scrimmage in NFL history. Dorsett broke the previous record of 97 yards, set by Andy Uram in 1939 and tied by Bob Gage, in 1949. Another notable fact about his record-breaking run was that the Cowboys only had 10 men on the field, as fullback Ron Springs was unaware of the play being called.

Never thought I would see someone blow up Megatron aka Calvin Johnson but it happened. Thanks to Lance Briggs Bears fans got to see him lay the hammer down on Johnson. Remember boys and girls NFL Rule #1080…catching balls over the middle is shady!

Folks if you’re looking for the exact way you legally beat up on the NFL’s coverboy, Elvis Dumervil shows you how its done. I appreciate Elvis for keeping it clean so I don’t have to feel bad for posting the many flagged “illegal hits” I do enjoy. Elvis… I love ya for this one, but lets also give Tom some credit for getting up…even though he wears Ugg boots you can tell Tom is Gangsta!

$40,000 aka 40 g folks. That’s how much it cost Ryan Clark for blowing up Ed Dickson. Appreciate it for what it is because these kind of hits are getting guys suspended see James Harrison who is also Clark’s teammate. I think these hits kinda solidify the evil rivalry that goes down between the Steelers and Ravens.

After seeing this hit, you’ll see why some folks may miss the old NFL. Oooh Wee! Wasn’t it violent? Back in the day you respected receivers who went over the middle to make a living just to make the big catch. I know… I know…Safety first. But we will never really see this kind of intimidation from NFL Safeties again. Thanks to Seahawks old timer Darryl Williams for bringing me back to the old school with this one!
London Fletcher blows up Tom Brady

London Fletcher blows up Tom Brady on a weak attempt of a slide which was followed by a terrible call. They called Fletcher for unnecessary roughness for a fore arm to the head. Its odd when Brady wasn’t even hit in the head by Fletcher (it was more like his arm and mid torso) I’m sorry but this is the NFL right? Referees are making some terrible calls this year in flag football…oops I mean the NFL. Ok I got it off my chest. I’m good.

James Harrison Owns Colt McCoy

We love James Harrison for one thing…HIT OF THE DAY. This guy fine or no fine can always be counted on to light some one up like a christmas tree. Glad McCoy was able to walk away from this one. Harrison will obviously be fined, lets just take his word on why he laid the smack down:
“From what I understand, once the quarterback leaves the pocket, he’s considered a runner,” Harrison said. “All the defenseless(ness) and liberties that a quarterback has in the pocket are gone and you can tackle him just as he’s a running back. The hit wasn’t late, so I really don’t understand why it was called.”

First off, big ups to Adrian Wilson for not hurting Maclin worse than he did. Wilson could have easily tore Maclin up but decide to lay into him with the shoulder. Either way adrian has still made our Hit of the Day!
