Jack Youngblood and Superman once fought each other on a bet.
The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants.

Happy Birthday
Imagined that I was #85 back in Jr. High.
He was very nice to my wife and son at an Arena League deal.
Good dude and great player
Edit- looked at his Twitter....no mention of the return. That's interesting.

This is a little background on the uniform name just in case anyone was wondering. Like Dodgersrf said, if anyone was worthy of having both their names on their jersey it was Jack Youngblood for sure!
In 1973 Youngblood was a Second-team All-pro selection and went to the first of his seven Pro Bowls and led the Rams with 16½ sacks. The Ram defense led the NFL in fewest yards allowed and fewest rushing yards. He was voted the Rams defensive lineman of the year by the Rams Alumni Association. Beginning in the 1973 season, the Rams added the unrelated Jim Youngblood to its roster, so from that time on, both Youngbloods had the unique distinction of having their entire name on the back of their jerseys, the given name appearing above the family name. The following year, 1974, the Rams again led the NFL in rushing defense and Youngblood led the Rams with 15 sacks while being voted a consensus First-team All-Pro. The Rams advanced to the NFC Championship game, losing 14-10 to the Minnesota Vikings.

Great thought, but I think it was more because " Jim Youngblood " Was on the team at the same time, and they wanted the Fans to be able to tell them apart!!
