Another reason that Sam.......

[Ostatehawk]

is awesome.

Sam Darnold's grandfather, Dick Hammer, was the Marlboro Man from the 1970s commercials, not his father. Sam Darnold was only 2 years old when his grandfather passed away, so he never got to know him. Dick Hammer was known for his larger-than-life persona and also had a career in acting and sports.

It explains why Sam was smoking that cigar during MM's lockerroom speech. #Tribute

BTW, I've always known that about Sam and I thought I had mentioned that about his Grandfather around here...maybe I didn't and I forgot.

Regardless, I thought that was the coolest thing when I first learned about it.

To have such a badass Grandpa is great.

Dick Hammer.

My gawd.

How can you not be bad ass when your grandpa is named Dick Hammer?

How can anyone top that? Maybe Dick Jackhammer. Dick Sledgehammer? There’s hammer levels….but, I think the crudest, most basic hammer fits best.

Dick…..Hammer.

I wonder if people realize that "Dick" is a different name for RICHARD?

Much like Bob would be for Robert or something like that.

(Richard Hammer won't have the same effect, I don't think. lol )

The fact that he just scratched out Richard and went with Dick….

Legend.

Nobody else opined about what a great porn name that is?

 

[Hockey Guy]

The way I'm reading this is that is/was his grandfather's actor stage name because it kinda implies it's his grandfather on his father's side.

I'm reminded of a short-lived show from the 80's that my dad introduced me to, called "Sledge Hammer", it was a detective sitcom, and the main characters name was Sledge Hammer.

If the defense is The Dark Side, can we start calling the offense The Dick Hammer?
