plus there was a year where we dealt with Viking flamers
or somethin like that. I forget.
An old board, years and years ago, completely unmoderated. It was one of those linked boards where other teams fans posted at the site too…so fans of all 32 teams were at the site and each team had their own board. Rivals. That was what the site was called.
It was 99. And just before the playoff game, dozens upon dozens of Vikings fans descended on our board to flame us. They were all insistent that the Vikings were far superior and the Rams had not played anybody. That was the big argument. Rams were a mirage…Rams had not played anybody.
It covered the board and went on day and night. It was like a little plague of viking fan locusts.
Anyway years later I am watching a tape of the 99 Rams playoff game. You know, Vikes game…the 3rd quarter massacre. And as the game winds down, the camera pans to the crowd. There’s a Rams fan holding up a sign and it said WE STILL HAVEN’T PLAYED ANYBODY.
