I was with my wife at Sierra Pacific Orthopedic in Fresno California, and he had a Rams hat on. I said go Rams and he said, I played for them for 10 years. We had a nice chat.

He also told me that my Replacements t-shirt was cool, and that they were the best band of all time.
Yeah - but it was the right play.The only thing that IMO about Rod Perry was his size.
—You can tell just in the photo a lone he is a good man & a True Ram. Have to add, did Westerberg see if he still keeps his Finger Nails clipped tight ?
Do WE really have to believe YOU both have BAD past in music?? I guess they both had success in 79/80 ?
BTW- Kurt Cobain was not a Fan.
Then again what do I know ? I’m going to watch a reggae band I’ve already seen a couple times & hopefully seeing them again in a couple weeks. Plus Santana -just to add to a music experience.
Rod Perry was great and appreciated you sharing your great encounter. As to the Super Bowl the only thing I ever wished for Rod Perry is that he was just one inch taller.

Sad that Perry and Butch are both remembered by a later highlight over their previous career contributions and accolades on the field. Saw him play since his rookie season and Perry was a solid all-pro CB who had made many big plays for the Rams like pick-6's and tough stops. Just an unfortunate situation in that SB as he was left alone on a bomb when the new safety Eddie Bown didn't read the play. The Rams missed S Bill Simpson in that SB as well as a full healthy Jack Youngblood.
rod perry was awesome.. one of my all time favorites...
he was more than very good... he was great..
ya that SB play was lame but there were so many more plays he made...
he had a pretty ridiculous verticle... just came up a little short on that play...
go rams

Or that Eddie Brown hadn't blown his assignment and been back there with Rod.
It was Eddie Brown who George Allen had brought over back in 78.
Yeah .... Perry was listed at 5' 9" and Stallworth was about 6' 2".
But that play DID break my heart on that day, though.
Just over Rod's finger tips, into Stallworth's waiting hands.........
There is a difference between Genres.You can figure that out,but times are different SO yeah.I talk to myself more,but don’t always get the best advice.Paying for it today,then again the alcohol got to deep in the veins & noway out when I tried to listen to my better self.
Rod Perry is not one I see a big fan of either genre.Then again there’s influence even if you don’t want to believe it.I’ll leave it at that.

I just remember Rod Perry and Pat Thomas as being two of my favorite
Rams from that era. I remember them being highlighted on I think was a Monday night game.
They were being recognized for how well they were playing despite their size.
Man that was a lifetime ago. surprised I still remember it.
The Super Bowl play was just a perfectly thrown ball. Thrown where only the WR could
get to it. Stafford makes those throws all the time. Sucks to be on the other side of it. lol
Wendell Tyler had a rough night as well.

This post reminds of how amazing the fan base is on ROD. Reading the comments, we all were reliving that Superbowl in our minds as we read the post. That moment was our "Wide Right" play of the game. That SB was so bittersweet and we still love Vince Ferragamo & company for nearly getting us to the top of the hill in Pasadena.
Wasn't that a bust...wasn't he supposed to have help in the middle?
Sure, it was a kamikaze swipe but what else could he have done at that point...
