Sacked

Deacon Jones, who helped inspire the series Glee by defending Peter against some bullies who almost goaded him into quitting the glee club, has died at the age of 74. As a member of the Fearsome Foursome, the collection of giant All-Pros on the Los Angeles Rams defensive line, Jones was credited with coining the term sack, and was retroactively credited with 194.5 of them, as it wasn’t recorded as an official statistic until 1982. His unofficial totals of 26 in 1967 and 24 in 1968, both in 14-game seasons, both surpass Michael Strahan’s NFL record, and he did it without having Brett Favre going down easier than Lindsay Lohan.
