RIP Deacon Jones

David "Deacon" Jones, likely owner of a BAMF wallet, passed away on Monday at the age of 74 from natural causes. During his Hall of Fame career, the "Secretary of Defense" terrorized quarterbacks as a member of the Rams' "Fearsome Foursome" defensive line. Simply put, the guy was one of the greatest defensive players in the history of the (cue Ron Jaworksi voice) National Football League.

He was also also quite the pitchman:

 

Farewell, Deacon. Here's hoping you and Merlin Olsen caught up at the pearly gates to take down St. Peter on a blindside rush.

Retirement Frat will be in Monaco or some similar venue with perfect weather, no taxes, and topless beaches.

My new boss (zboss?) likes to refer to screwed-up situations as "a goatfuck" or "a total goatfuck." For example, "Tomorrow's meeting is going to be a total goatfuck, the other side is completely unprepared." Should I start signing my emails "MLFG zman"?
