Anyone know where I can find video of the famous beatdown after the game? I've been scouring the internet, but can only find blogs and articles describing it. It was a bit before my time (born in 82), but I've heard about it multiple times without ever seeing it.

I heard that NFL films has a video on it, but not sure if there's anywhere to watch that online.

Thanks guys!
 
Not sure who was beatdown and don't really care. Maybe it explains why that troll is so bitter everytime he's on tv talking about the game.

Well, the game didn't go well. After Oakland won, a Raiders fan ran onto the field after the game and sucker-punched Nick Buoniconti, which prompted Fernandez to clothesline the fan. I haven't seen this clip, but I had it described to me by family members. They say it's something that I MUST see at some point, as a Dolphins fan.

The Fins have such a rich history - both good and bad - and I am trying to go back and watch as much as I can during this offseason
 
Wow I had heard stories of it but had never seen it before. Fernandez straight jacked that fan up with a fore-arm shiver to the face. Gotta say though that he probably deserved it after running on the field and then sucker punching Buoniconti in the gut.
 
I have watched replays of ths game many times and Stabler's heave at the end through the "Sea of Hands" just leaves you speechless. I just can't believe that pass wasn't knocked down...and Clarence Davis, who had worse hands then Ted Ginn somehow caught it. It ended our Dynasty......this is why I always take pleasure out of seeing Al Davis and the Raiders losing......seven straight seasons of 10+ losses.

Manny just made a quick swing at the kid ....who definitely deserved to get knocked out.
 
All you need to know about this game is "The Sea of Hands" and trust me the has to one of the worst moments in Dolphins history.

As bad as the '00 Jets monday night game, playoffs '99 jags, as bad as losing 3 out of 5 super bowls, 2007 season, and years of not making to the playoffs and going as far as the 2nd round of the playoffs.
 
I had the pleasure of hanging out with Manny in Shula's Steak2 for a few hours, and never would have imagined. He was the coolest celeb I have ever met!
 
If only Madden would have thrown that sucker punch! I buy the man's video games but listening to him talk let alone call a game was just painful.
