Since the NFL labor dispute has, since yesterday’s bizarre NFL Owners blindsided cutback block on the NFLPA , officially reached the point of ridonkulous… raidergirls counters with an equally silly and short Bo Jackson Oakland Raiders Tecmo Bowl video.

Bo Knows Tecmo…

This Amazing Tecmo Bowl run, pitting the Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots no less, features Bo Jackson busting off an 99 yard TD run in Nintendo Tecmo Bowl… and Jackson runs out the entire quarter doing it. Classical old school delight. As Tanner boyle would have duly noted, if you didn’t at least chuckle watching this classic Raiders Tecmo Bowl video, you must be a complete booger eatin’ spazz.

The Amazing quarter long Bo Jackson Tecmo Run

Bo Knows Tecmo, 99-yard Raiders TD

So Bo Knows crazy Tecmo Bowl runs that make Gale Sayers appear pedestrian by comparison, but why is that classic to us? If you were born after 1980, this Raiders video would be a mere 1 lombardi worthy chuckle , but for old schoolers who grew up on the pure magic of Nintendo Tecmo Bowl, this Raiders video clip is seriously a 10+ lombardi worthy memory.

One entire quarter goes Bo on this classic tecmo bowl run against the hapless Patsy defense. Love it the way Darren McFadden loved the Denver Donkey Defense in 2010 fellow Raiders fans.

Tecmo Bowl Random facts:

Lawrence Taylor of New York and Dexter Manley of Washington could block any field goal or extra point in Tecmo Bowl simply by selecting them and running down the line and through the long snapper.

San Francisco and Miami each had a passing play that was nearly unstoppable against any Tecmo Bowl defense. Properly timed, the slot receiver curl route from the shotgun. Human defenses could stop this by double teaming the curl receiver with the defensive end.

The QBs with the best Tekmo Bowl stats throw the hardest, fastest passes even if the real life player doesn’t have the strongest arm. That is why Joe Montana throws harder than John Elway in Tecmo Bowl, even though the real Elway has a much stronger arm.

Tecmo Bowl was not able to get the NFL’s consent to use real team names. As a result, the teams in the game are identified solely by their home city or state. However, each roster mimics that of the NFL team based out of the same city or state. Tecmo Bowl only used players from twelve of the best and most popular teams. The teams mimicked in the game are the Indianapolis Colts, the Miami Dolphins, the Cleveland Browns, the Denver Broncos, the Seattle Seahawks, the Los Angeles Raiders, the Washington Redskins, the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, the Chicago Bears, and the Minnesota Vikings.

Each Tecmo Bowl team had a different level of effectiveness based on its personnel and play selection.Chicago (with Walter Payton and Mike Singletary) and San Francisco (Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott) were two of the top teams because they had top talent on both offense and defense. The then Los Angeles Raiders had the fastest offensive player in the game in Bo Jackson, but the Raiders had only one running play which utilized him. Marcus Allen ran the Raiders other Tecmo Bowl running play.

New York had a middling offense but the fastest defender in Tecmo Bowl, with Lawrence Taylor. Minnesota is among the worst teams in the game with the unfortunate combination of average talent and a terrible playbook which includes an extremely ineffective wide receiver reverse run.

No players featured in the original Tecmo Bowl are still active in the NFL after the retirement of punter Sean Landeta on March 6, 2008. The last player to leave the NFL who was active at the time of the game’s release, yet played for a team not included in the game was kicker Morten Andersen, who retired not long after on December 8, 2008.
