That song in the background is "Retuning To The Rams In August 2026" by Jay-Z.
After reading that I was thinking, if he comes out will it be the first time 2 team mates had a 20 sack season on their resume? The answer is "no". Klecko (20.5) and Gastineau (20.0) both had those in the same season (1981). And the lousy Jets still couldn't do anything with that !!!!![]()
Insider Details Potential for Aaron Donald to Come out of Retirement to Rams
The Rams made a blockbuster deal for Myles Garrett last month and now they reportedly are waiting to hear if superstar D-tackle Aaron Donald will join him on the team's D-line.heavy.com
Both great Hall-Of-Fame level players, that 81 Jets team broke an 11-year Playoff drought.After reading that I was thinking, if he comes out will it be the first time 2 team mates had a 20 sack season on their resume?

So IF he decides to come back......who is the first person he calls? McVay? Snead? Shula? Garrett? His agent?
Is he wearing a loose tshirt to not show off he's getting back into football swole shape? Joking mostly but he does look a smidge bigger than he's looked post retirement.

I remember the NY Sack Exchange, haha. Gastineau's sack dance was the first celebration of that type that I can remember. Now we have dudes celebrating basic tackles, pass break ups, etc like they just won the Superbowl...Both great Hall-Of-Fame level players, that 81 Jets team broke an 11-year Playoff drought.

Yeah Gastineau was an asshole. Do you remember Jackie Slater going after him?I remember the NY Sack Exchange, haha. Gastineau's sack dance was the first celebration of that type that I can remember. Now we have dudes celebrating basic tackles, pass break ups, etc like they just won the Superbowl...
I mean, sure. It just looks super derpy to me when I see a group of men run to an end zone cam and strike a pose. It's.... Kinda.... What do the kids say..... Cringe?Mostly, I just accept the inevitable changes in attitudes and behavior ... including self- celebration in sports.
I remember that like it was yesterday. Great pull!

On a side note, man you could tell who was on the needle back then, haha...
So Jackie Slater got it outlawed!!!!Gastineau was nationally famous for doing his signature "Sack Dance" after sacking an opposing quarterback. However, he had to stop when the NFL declared it "unsportsmanlike taunting" in March 1984 and began fining players for it. The ban on the dance stemmed from a bench-clearing brawl in the third quarter of a 27–24 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams at Shea Stadium on September 25, 1983, which began with a sack of Vince Ferragamo by Gastineau who was then shoved from behind by Jackie Slater, the right tackle he had beaten on the play. One month later on October 21, a total of $15,750 in fines was assessed by the NFL against 16 Jets ($7,300) and 21 Rams ($8,450), with Gastineau incurring a $1,000 penalty.

I sure do miss that culture of refereeing.

“Bullshit on the left, bullshit on the right. Let’s move on with it”
Today that’d be a 20 minute delay flagfest with analysis paralysis replays and talking heads, fans chiming in on every single nuance of the play, tweets about who said what blah blah blah.
No you aren't and as far as an award?....On a serious note, am I the 1st ROD member to post "C'est La Vie".
If so, shouldn't there be some type of Prize?
Or, Suspension.
Wow! If that's you, you look WAAAAY cooler than I ever expected. It's not even in the ballpark. Why, you don't even want to see the picture I had in my head.But, I think I still Look Cool ...![]()
