I was at a work conference just walking around in AC one evening about 30 years ago. Saw a crowd around someone doing an an interview and it happened to be Hacksaw. I stuck around and waited until he was finished and approached him telling him that I've been a Ram fan since 1961. We started talking about the 79 SB year and got to the point after a while where he was asking me who the 3rd string was that filled in at QB that year (Jeff Rutledge). I asked about the Seahawk game where they held them to -7 yards total, setting an NFL record. His eyes lit up. Hacksaw says on the first play of the game be blitzed Zorn and knocked him on his ass. As he's telling me about it, he takes the palm of his hand and pushes it hard into my chest. What an experience!
Thanks for sharing that!
He seemed like a really likable dude...unless you p#ssed him off! lol
I am not shocked to hear he was proud of that game against Seattle! It was historic!
#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
