I think someone on the Herd posted that the team should wear a shoulder patch or helmet patch to honor Deacon.
I wonder if Kevin Demoff saw that. I think he did. Not much gets past that guy and I respect that.
Most fans in STL won't connect to Deacon, he is an LA Ram not an STL Ram but there will be some fans in STL that will recognize how great he was and what an important part of the NFL he will always be.
You cannot have an in depth conversation about football during Deacons era and not have him as a topic. To me that is how you rate a players greatness. Can you have a conversation about the years he played without mentioning how that player was dominant and how he mattered.
You cannot have a conversation about the years Deacon played and not include him as possibly the best player. Defense or offense doesn't matter, just best player. He's in that conversation.
It is wonderful that he is getting the respect he has earned. It's sad that previous ownership decided to slight him.
I'm gonna email Demoff and ask for one of those decals. I am not a collector. I have only two pieces of Rams stuff. One is a signed pic of Roman Gabriel dropping back to pass against the 49ers from waaaaaay back and the other is a helmet signed by Warner after the 99 season and the SB win.
I want one of those decals because Deacon makes my list and all of my lists are very, very, very short.

Have to admit I don't know much Rams history outside of the move to STL besides the big names. This man however, could've played for any team in the league and would still be one of my favorites of all time. The true definition of a football player, and one bad fucking man. Much respect. Glad the Rams are doing this.
