Filmed shortly after his breakup with Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis takes the field against The Los Angeles Rams in hopes we "would lateral a buck" for MDA.



Along with many of the Rams of the day in this vintage newsreel, you'll catch a glimpse of legendary Hall of Fame coach Sid Gillman adjusting Jerry's helmet.



After kidding around on the gridiron, Jerry gets serious behind a desk with a plaque that reads "Jerry Lewis - National Chairman" and asks for your help.



During his tenure as Natl. Chairman, Lewis raised $2.5 BILLION dollars for MD research.

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
