Dane Looker

St Louis Rams Veteran Dane Looker was the most popular player on the field at the close of OTAs Thursday. Why?  The Opie-esque athlete got the players out of boring afternoon meetings.

Coach Linehan organized a contest in which players could take a 125-yard shot across the practice fields and try to hit the outline of a green. If any was successful, the meetings were off.

About 10 players tried and failed, some miserably. Then Looker — a scratch golfer — used a wedge to drop the ball about 5 feet from the pin held by equipment assistant John Welby, who wisely donned a helmet for the duty.

“I think Dane could probably play professional golf,” Linehan said. “Whatever he picks up, Dane’s good at. He just has a knack.” [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]

In case you were wondering, Dane went to Puyallup High School in Puyallup, Washington.  Remember?  He won varsity letters in football and basketball. In football, he won All-State honors. 

Alright, what do we owe for this post.  BORRRRING….
