It was August 12, 1978 and John Madden was at an Oakland hospital, checking on the condition of Darryl Stingley, the New England Patriots wide receiver who laid motionless on the ground a few hours earlier after being hit by the Raiders’ Jack Tatum in an exhibition game.

Madden looked around the waiting room and didn’t see anyone from the Patriots’ organization. He was furious. Madden got on the phone, reached someone of importance at the Oakland Airport and ordered that person to not let the New England team plane take off until a Patriots’ representative deplaned and went to the hospital to stay there and monitor Stingley’s situation.

Outstanding write up Madden was the man I've read his book several times. The book is out of print but you can get it on Amazon. It's called One Knee Equals Two Feet and once you start reading it you won't put it down.
