#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

the NFL in 1997 and moved back to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Crews's first
break came in 1999 when he auditioned for the extreme sports show called Battle Dome
(1999) with other actor-athletes from around the country. In 2000, Crews made his big-
screen debut in The 6th Day (2000). Since then, he has landed roles in Friday After Next
(2002), Malibu's Most Wanted (2003), Starsky & Hutch (2004), Soul Plane (2004), and
White Chicks (2004). Most recently, Crews played Terry Jeffords on Brooklyn Nine-Nine

deployed, Houston served as a rifleman, suffering numerous injuries from a nearby
explosion. Despite a resulting ankle fracture and scrap metal wounds, he hid these injuries
from command to avoid separation from his platoon and helped other injured personnel to
safety. Houston has received numerous accolades for his heroism, including a Purple
Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, and Marine Corps Commendation Medal among others.

#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
