At the 34 second mark is the best NFL music they had.

And the song before that one is great too.

My first favorite Rams player. Had his #30 shirt. In an era where teams had their 1,000 yards rushers McCutcheon was ours.

RIP.

Amazing 2 minute and 30 second video that shows Clutch's amazing abilities. It shows his balance, vision, speed, power and ability to catch out of the backfield. Plus you get the old school music.

Reading how McCutcheon set someone's fandom in motion back in 1973 is a nice reminder of how much a player can mean beyond stats. The Joe Scibelli detail is interesting too, since linemen from that era rarely get remembered in these conversations. I wasn't around then, but learning about these older Rams teams makes me appreciate the history more. May he rest in peace.

Yeah, he did look cool running the ball. And I remember having a #30 jersey when I was a kid because of him ... wasn't necessarily a Rams jersey, but it had similar colors and I chose it because of the number.

Would have loved a #30 Rams jersey back in the day. But alas, the Sears catalog only had Jim Burtleson's #45.
Still have that, actually.
