Sad news today. Merlin Olsen, arguably the greatest defensive tackle of all time, and part of the legendary, greatest ever "Fearsome Foursome," passed away Wednesday night after a battle with Mesothelioma. May he rest in peace, one of the Greatest Rams ever.

Such a sad thing.

Merlin

 One of my favorite RAMS. And an outstanding individual.
He will be sorely missed.

One of the greatest players, one of my favorite Rams and he played in my favorite uni. Blue and White.
