Apparently LenDale White hates Tecmo Bowl. Now that is about the most bullshit I’ve heard in a long time. He says, “I didn’t play in the ’50s, the Tecmo Bowl days,’’ which is a crock of shit.

If I was playing Ice Climbers in 1985, and I was 4 years-old, then I imagine even if he didn’t get a chance to play Tecmo Bowl, LenDale White (future NFL running back) at least played some Tecmo Super Bowl back in the early 90s. I mean, he was 7 years-old when it came out, and at least one of his friends had to have a Nintendo, right?

I realize when he said it he was probably just giving his new running backs coach, Earnest Byner, a little shit, but Tecmo Bowl trash talking isn’t something to be thrown around lightly. Just ask the guy who learned 46 Life Lessons from Tecmo Super Bowl. A few favorites include:

5. Greed is good. Feel free to run Christian Okoye until the Nigerian government criticizes you for your wanton lack of consideration for his health.

14. In the eyes of the Tecmo Super Bowl gods there is no race, creed or ethnicity; except for Bo Jackson, who is a really fast black guy.

24. Never substitute. God chooses starting lineups for a reason.
