He was a terror.  The sack is his stat.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

The prototype defensive end:  fast, strong, with a lanky wingspan that swallowed QBs.

Rosey Grier's the only one left now.  :(

Great great player.  Those Rams teams of the 60s and 70s are amongst the best teams never to win the Super Bowl.

There's excerpts of his biography online; with all the sheer bullshit he had to go through as a black player in the South of the the 1950s, how he still managed to maintain his dignity, his humor and his good nature is  more of a credit to the man than anything he did on the field.

Cause what he did on the field was cause concussions.  Oh, and establish the standard for sacks.

I have to admit it would take alot of guts to be racist towards Deacon Jones.
