Dude is my all time favorite Ram. Wife asked if I was seriously tearing up after the trade announcement came accross my news feed. Yes. Yes I was.
Thanks to the "Mighty Quinn", One of the great Rams' defensive players of all time. Thanks for the memories, my friend.

I loved watching the Mighty Quinn. I remember when several of us waited outside the dome after the Thor Daddy memorial game and when he came out, he had one of his sons on his shoulders. He proceeded to walk around to the fans, hi five, pose for pictures, etc.... just seemed like a really good dude and father. My fandom of the mighty one was cemented at that moment. I always liked him as a player but that was really cool to see and my dad and two boys talked about it the rest of the trip.
Sad to see him go. And he will probably be one of the few players I will cheer for even though he’s not wearing horns.

35 minute video that consists of nothing but Quinn sacking the QB. Every one of his sacks over his first four seasons.

In the #1 top 10 moment, that sack against the Saints' Drew Brees, where The Mighty One was knocked to the ground, only to crawl on his hands & knees then get up & strip sack Drew, was the greatest single sack effort I have ever seen in my entire life. At 59 years of age and a ton of Horns' football watching, that's saying an awful lot!!!
Unfortunately, that Mighty Quinn, with the ultra fast jets around the corner and the Gumby-esque bend, is no more, probably victimized at least in part by all those numerous choke holds that those lunatic NFL officials illegally allowed. His liability as a pass coverage defender and his inability to adapt smoothly to Wade's 3-4 alignment spelled his end as an LA Horn. You will always be one of my top favorites, Robert!

I stopped buying jerseys for that exact reason. The last jersey I bought for myself was a Grant Wistrom autographed jersey a year before he went to the shecocks.

Yep that's why I personally stick to the classics for the most part. Although I do have a Goff and Donald jersey too sigh. I have a problem.
