Deacon Jones upset his number's not retired
One of three defensive ends named to the NFL 75th Anniversary Team, Deacon Jones thinks it's "asinine" that his number hasn't been retired by the Rams.
Considering the Rams have retired the numbers of five other players, I agree 100% with Deacon. Perhaps, he should use his signature "headslap" to knock some sense into the Rams' front office.
"I came as close to perfection," the former "Secretary of Defense" says, "as you can possibly get."Jones was named to eight Pro Bowls, won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1967 and 1968 and he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980.
Of his signature move, Jones says, "The headslap was not my invention, but Rembrandt, of course, did not invent painting."
