Imagine if he had to do a writing assignment in grade school on how he spent my summer.

"A wonderful summer with my grandpas: Playing with Dick Hammer and the Marlboro Man."

I always thought Colt McCoy got the Texas gig because of his name right away.

How do you not start a grandson of the Marlboro Man?

And a dude named Dick Hammer?

Sort screams...Alpha male.

I can't tell if someone on Wikipedia is trolling or not, but it says that he died of prostate cancer at the age of 69....

Turns out Dick Hammer and the Marlboro Man are one-in-the-same.

quote:

Richard Bernard "Dick" Hammer (July 17, 1930 – October 18, 1999) was an American athlete, firefighter, and actor. Born in Long Beach, California, Hammer was a basketball player at the University of Southern California, competed in volleyball at the 1964 Summer Olympics, and was a retired Captain with the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD). As an actor he played the role of Captain Richard "Dick" Hammer in the first season of the Jack Webb produced television show Emergency!, which debuted on January 15, 1972. He left the show midway through the first season, because he felt that being a real life firefighter was more rewarding than playing a fictional one. He returned to the LACoFD and retired with the rank of Captain. Hammer also portrayed the Marlboro Man in cigarette advertisements in the 1970s.

When you are a Hammer everything must look like a nail.
