One hell of a ball player. Title: Re: R.I.P Deacon Post by: CF DolFan on June 04, 2013, 07:53:46 am Deacon and the great head slap. That's when football players played with reckless abandonment! He was one of my football heroes for sure!

Title: Re: R.I.P Deacon Post by: Sunstroke on June 04, 2013, 10:58:48 am While I refuse to give the guy props for the "head slap," he was pretty amazing even without it. He also had one of the coolest personalities the NFL has ever seen. RIP, Deacon Title: Re: R.I.P Deacon Post by: mecadonzilla on June 04, 2013, 12:02:48 pm Thankfully, he can live on in the NFL Films archive. He's head slapping in the great beyond now. RIP

Title: Re: R.I.P Deacon Post by: CF DolFan on June 04, 2013, 04:40:44 pm I just found out he's from here in Eatonville (Orlando). All these years and I had no idea.
Title: Re: R.I.P Deacon Post by: BigDaddyFin on June 05, 2013, 07:19:22 pm Go back and watch the movie Heaven Can Wait and watch him beat the shit out of the two man sled by himself. Then factor in that he'd been retired about 5 years when they shot the movie..
