... San Diego Chargers, Deacon Jones. We weren’t serious football fans, but Deacon Jones’s name was in the news a lot in the 1960s and early ‘70s, and we liked how it sounded.

Gosh what a group that was. Just about all of theses four were Christians and could play football better than most. Back in those days they had some really great defensive players. RTR!

Brings back memories.

Anybody in the Birmingham remember when the DJ locked himself in the booth when Bama won the '79 championship and played The Tide is High by Blondie over and over until they broke down the door?
