Rams Jam- The Incredible Story of Jim Everett’s First Game
The Rams are coming back to LA and we are airing segments every morning at 5:30a with what’s happening now, videos from way back when, trivia, player profiles and cool giveaways. This morning, we talk to former LA Rams Quarterback Jim Everett about the incredible story of his first NFL game.
i remember listening to this game on the radio…. this game was not on TV in the SF Bay Area (San Jose) but it was the game of the week on national radio…..a rare occurrence to have the Rams on local radio in San Jose…..
Towards the end of the game, I had the game blasting from my truck radio while playing a game of catch with old college roommates during the final minutes of the game thinking of a sure Rams victory with their brand new Rams QB that was actually good……, then the Patriots hail mary happened, I was sick to my gut and stunned…..but the Rams seemed to have found their QB….
BTW, semi related to Everett…. I was thumbing through ASSBOOK on my phone the other night and Eric Dickerson was answering questions live to Ram fans….. One question was.
“Do you think you (Eric Dickerson) had a better chance of winning a Super Bowl in LA with Ferragammo or with Jim Everett at QB? Dickerson answered that he had a better chance with Vince…. I was a bit surprised…… he said he liked Vince’s swing pass to the RBs…..
Perhaps Eric is still bitter that his buddy Kent Hill was part of the trade that sent Hill to the Oilers for Jim Everett…..I’ve always that that Everett was a better QB than Vince…
