Former Los Angeles Rams defensive great Deacon Jones passed away last year at the age of 74. In addition to his Hall of Fame exploits on the field with the “Fearsome Foursome”, the Secretary of Defense was also known for providing one of the all-time greatest “wait, he said what???” moments in NFL Films history, when he was asked to describe his patented head slap. We have a feeling this clip won’t be playing on NFL Network anytime soon.
For the lazy: “Any time you go upside a man’s head…or a woman’s…”
Hey, it was the ’70s. It was a simpler time.
