You have to see this. Seriously.

I don’t want to write any spoilers.

There is so much to love about this article. It cites the Biggest Celebrity Fan of each of the 32 NFL teams. And you will delight, as I did, in the fact that you 1) haven’t heard of some of these celebrities, and 2) can imagine that there is someone Bigger, and 3)…the best of all…

…well, I just don’t want to spoil it.

No Rams and no team in LA. Though I can believe the St. Louis Cardinals except the celebrity fan should be Jon Hamm.

The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

Sprinkles are for winners.

That’s just the title. They go on to discuss the Rams in the description.

Anyway. Ignorant putzes.

I can’t believe someone got paid to put that article together.

I read each pic. Didn’t see anything about the Rams other than the mention on the St. Louis Cardinals page that they might move to LA.

Yeah so they meant the St. Louis Rams, not St. Louis Cardinals. The bit you mention where they say the Rams are moving to LA—that’s the bit I was talking about. Notice they also later discuss the Arizona Cardinals as a separate entry. So when they said St. Louis Cardinals, clearly, they meant the Rams.

They had it correct in that if Bill DeWitt owned the NFL team in St. Louis it would always be a contender.

Bill Murray looks like a zombie.

And I can’t imagine he is a fan of the Jaguars. Why would he be? He was born in Illinois, and lives in Chicago.

How can you make that statement on a board full of nomads?

I was born in PA and live in VT yet I am a Rams fan.

Pa Ram and JackP were born in PA and live in Reading yet they are Rams fans.

zn was born in Heaven but was cast out and after a few millennia in Hell moved to Maine yet he is a Rams fan.

There’s more to fandom than geography, or you would be a Raiders or 49’ers fan.

Oh.

Right.

Let me amend that by saying there’s *usually* more to fandom than geography.

Can we keep the personal stuff out of this?

Some things are said in confidence and not meant to “go public.”

Thanks.

Certainly.

Yet the Rams EXISTED when you became a football fan.

The Jaguars did NOT exist when Bill Murray became a football fan. And why would a Bears fan switch to become a fan of the Jaguars? No how, no way, not one instance of that happening may be found in the history of mankind.

From Wikipedia:

Murray is a fan of several Chicago professional sports teams, especially the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears and the Chicago Bulls.[48] (He was once a guest color commentator for a Cubs game during the 1980s.)[49] Murray is an avid Quinnipiac University basketball fan, where his son served as head of basketball operations. Murray is a regular fixture at home games. He cheered courtside for the Illinois Fighting Illini’s game against the 2004-05 Arizona Wildcats in the Regional Final game in Chicago. He is a fixture at home games of those teams when in his native Chicago. After traveling to Florida during the Cubs playoff run to help “inspire” the team (Murray joked with Cubs slugger Aramis Ramírez he was very ill and needed two home runs to give him the hope to live),[50] he was invited to the champagne party in the Cubs’ clubhouse when the team clinched the NL Central in late September 2007, along with fellow actors John Cusack, Bernie Mac, James Belushi, and former Cubs player Ron Santo. Murray appears in Santo’s documentary, This Old Cub. In 2006, Murray became the sixth recipient of Baseball Reliquary’s annual Hilda Award,[51] established in 2001 “to recognize distinguished service to the game by a fan.”[52]

In other words, among its other errors, the article wrongly asserted that Murray is a Jagz fan.

It’s like assuming Zooey is a Rams fan.

Misleading.
