The Rams’ season was over, so it was time to go back to work.

Back when athletes needed second jobs when not playing, The Times’
Cal Whorton compiled a Rams’ employment list. Jon Arnett and Dick
Daugherty were headed to local financial firms. Don Burroughs and Duane
Putnam would sell beer. Bill Wade went to a television station in
Nashville. Even then, the quarterbacks got the TV jobs.

Ron Waller would spend time at his bowling alley in Studio City and
his new liquor store. Several others were going back to school and a
couple had military service.

But here’s my favorite from Whorton’s story: "Surprisingly only one
Ram, Frank Fuller, has indicated he’ll try his hand in the insurance
business. Fuller also can be expected to pick up a few stray bucks on
the wrestling circuit.’

A wrestling insurance salesman? I’m sold.
