The real pertinent issue, for me, is all the St. Louis fans we will lose in the process. So I won’t be sitting there in the chat room feeling warm and glowy because they are in LA. Instead, I will be noticing and lamenting the missing members of our own community. Those guys mean far more to me than sunny home games in winter.
.—————————-
That’s why, despite them moving to within three hours of me, I feel little joy re. this move.
The good folks of St. Louis don’t deserve this, just like the fans in California didn’t deserve it in ’95.
21DogParticipantI don’t mean this as a knock on Cignetti, but the defenses in the WAC in those days were pretty bad.
Fresno did manage to put up 42 during his time on the ’05 USC team that played for the national championship against Texas.

Wouldn’t sign Iupati. I live in NorCal and the reports from here is that he is about finished as an NFL player. Too many injuries that are not the ‘recoverable’ kind.
I’d be wary of Iupati, too.
Not just the injuries, but he allowed more sacks than any guard in the league this year. <can’t seem to find that, but I’ve read it several times>
21DogParticipantI love hockey.
My 7th and 8th grade teacher took me and some other kids down to watch the Oakland Seals games a few times. Instant convert. The sounds of the game, the cold air in the arena blasting off the ice…it’s just a brilliant experience.
But it’s like basketball and baseball to me. Too many regular season games. I am all in come playoff time, though. There is nothing like Lord Stanley’s Cup. And, of course, I watch the Olympics. The Miracle on Ice will always be one of my greatest sports memories.
And HDTV has made a huge difference to the game.
We went to a couple of Seals-Kings games in Oakland in the early 70s.
Seals didn’t draw much, so it was easy (and cheap) to get really good tickets.
21DogParticipantAt least there’s food.
This guy put in way too much work–but I like it:
I’ll bet the folks at this party could handle that spread and more.

21DogParticipantIt’s a great game. Even better now that fighting is mostly gone from it.
Of course it’s best when your team has won two of the last three Cups.
21DogParticipantYeah, I have my share of friends who ain’t candidates for scholarships to Cambridge, but are spooky gifted smart in an area or 2, like let’s say electronics. I believe there’s something like “football smart.”
I liken it to “street smarts” or thinking on your feet which I value a lot more than a 4.0 GPA.
21DogParticipantFrom the Wagoner article. I had forgotten about TJ’s hit. TJ’s a hitter.
Now they have Barron who is a hitter.I sure wish Laurinaitis was a hitter. Ah well. Maybe they find a LB
in the draft.w
v“…On second-and-10 from that spot with 20 seconds left, Bucs quarterback Josh McCown fired a strike to rookie receiver Mike Evans down the right seam. Evans hauled it in for a gain of 29 yards to the Rams’ 32, good enough to set up a potential game-winning field goal. But Evans paid for the catch as Rams safety T.J. McDonald flew in for a big hit that left Evans on the ground.
Unable to get up, Evans needed help to get off the field and with no timeouts left, the officials stopped the clock with less than 10 seconds remaining. Instead of Evans getting up, getting lined up and the Bucs spiking the ball to stop the clock, the officials called for a 10-second run off to end the game and preserve the Rams’ victory…”I wish they had a ballhawk safety
Love how McDonald, McLeod and Barron hit.
Just wish they could cover a little (or a lot) better.

It was etched in stone eons ago:“Verily, Never take the Bengals or Colts seriously
come playoff time.”w
vVerily??
Is that some sort of West Va. lawyer talk?
January 19, 2015 at 10:41 am in reply to: Seattle doing nothing so far (he said in the 1st half) #1686021DogParticipantWell, lost in all the crazy-zany plays,
and what-ifs, there was
M.Lynch, with his 157 yards,
and the Seattle Defense, at home,
which kept GBay playing conservative.w
vLynch’s role yesterday seems to be overlooked in the post game analysis.
He’s the modern day Earl Campbell.
Love watching him run, but hate his Jerk Mode act.

January 19, 2015 at 10:38 am in reply to: Super Agent Lee Steinberg addresses the LA Rams fans today Jan 18th #1685921DogParticipantReally? Self-promoting Windbag. Bitter Dog? Rams belong in LA and that is where they will be very shortly Of course if that is bothersome to you, you can become a Whiners fan.
Grits
Not bitter at all. Just my opinion of Steinberg.
January 18, 2015 at 11:18 pm in reply to: Super Agent Lee Steinberg addresses the LA Rams fans today Jan 18th #1683721DogParticipantThat self promoting windbag was behind the group trying to keep them in SoCal in the mid 90s.
Didn’t work out so well.
January 18, 2015 at 7:03 pm in reply to: Seattle doing nothing so far (he said in the 1st half) #1683021DogParticipantSeattle had no business winning that game. 5 turnovers? An onside kick? A Hail Mary 2-point conversion?
I don’t like it. That wasn’t a quality win.
Oh, well.
Go Indy, and if that fails, go ‘Hawks.
Be nice if our boys could come through a few “quality” wins like that.
January 18, 2015 at 5:29 pm in reply to: Seattle doing nothing so far (he said in the 1st half) #1681621DogParticipantrichard sherman hurt his left arm.
haha. can’t help but feel a little happy about all this.
Chancellor put the hit on him.
21DogParticipantI don’t see Iupati as a viable option.
New coach Jim Tomsula and GM Trent Baalke have both stated a preference for a “ground and pound” attack.
Iupati is the prototypical ground and pound guard. Don’t think they’ll let him get away despite Iupati giving up a league leading number of sacks for his position.
21DogParticipantI remember the clock mis-management right before half…. I couldn’t believe that happened.
That was shockingly bad.
Dieter did make one nice deep throw to Michael Young. Too bad Young was pushed out of bounds before he made the catch.

I think I met him.
in Mombasa in a bar-room drinking gin?
January 15, 2015 at 12:12 pm in reply to: 101, 1/14… John Clayton, Roland Williams, Mark Schlereth #1657321DogParticipantRoland is a happy guy.
He was a great Role player. DV had a knack
for finding good role players who put the Team first.
Seems like Pete Carroll is good at that too.w
vThat’s a nice cover, wv. Few could match Zevon as a songwriter. Definitely had his own style.
Roland was a warrior.
21DogParticipantSeems to me Peyton was the OC in Denver.
January 15, 2015 at 12:51 am in reply to: relocation thread #3, starting with Chargers stirring up a fight #1655721DogParticipantMurray was a pure wordsmith, one of the greatest sports columnists ever and had a great sense of humor.
Krikorian was a beat writer for many years (Lakers, Rams) and also wrote a column in a completely different style than Murray.
21DogParticipantPretty uninspiring hire by the 49ers.
Looks like upper management got a coach they can keep in line.
Looks to me like owner Boy Jed is in waaaay over his head.

A little pasty, too.

Good Lord that was depressing. There should be a warning attached to that!This is him on the inter-net

A sample of his writing:
“le to fleece new suitors for taxpayer-subsidized stadiums – the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans will settle their difference today in the 72-degree warmth of the enclosed Georgia Dome.
This will be a match painful to watch for many of the disenfranchised fans in Los Angeles, who supported the Rams for 49 seasons, and in Houston, who did the same with the Oilers for 37 seasons.
What will be even more aggravating to these people is that one of the miscreants responsible for the shift in residences – either the Oilers’ Bud Adams, or the Rams’ Georgia Frontiere – will be strutting on center stage this evening celebrating a Super Bowl victory.
The hunch here is that person will be Georgia Frontiere..
…..
……..
…And thus expect to see the ungodly spectacle of George Frontiere, the seven-time married Rams owner, on the sidelines late in the fourth quarter tonight, savoring a 30-20 win by her minions and defying the laws of compensation yet again.”w
vThat was his style….pull no punches.
I agree 100 percent with him here.
He was definitely a love or hate him type of columnist.
21DogParticipantPA Ram wrote:
My guess is that he ends up someplace.He may be too old to do that. Lebeau is 78.
To give you some sense of how old that is, he played at Ohio State for Woody Hayes. He was drafted by the NFL in 1959. He went on to play for Detroit, where he was in the same secondary with Night Train Lane.
He be old.
No one could whip up prison camp show like Lebeau.
21DogParticipantBy the way, I am wondering how much precedent there has been for a team playing a last season with fans KNOWING it would end.
I think the Browns made a deal wo CLE fans knew the name and team would be back.
The Colts snuck out at night.
I don’t remember whether the Rams played games in LA with the issue decided. The Raiders?
I just figure it would be disastrous, especially with a bad team.
The issue wasn’t decided officially but the writing was on the wall.
Or should I say……..the fix was in thanks to Georgia and Shaw.
21DogParticipantWell all States have competency requirements
for Jurors. In other words you cant be
batshit-crazy and serve on a Jury.
Ipso Facto, saying “Go Pats” is a
sign of mental illness or possibly even
moral turpitude.w
v………or a novel way of avoiding jury duty.
Wondering if admitting you’re a Ram fan would work?
Your sanity would certainly be questioned.
21DogParticipant“…ORE St. 62 OLT Gavin Andrews +++ against USC
ORG $$$$$$ 6-5 340 Jr. Huge with feet…”I am in favor of drafting
players with feet.w
vPreferably two of them with five toes each, although that would be negotiable.
21DogParticipantThe day of leverage or using LA as leverage has come to an end. The league knows this and so does Kroenke.
As for Dean Spanos, he hasn’t a leg to stand on in his contention about the 30 percent of his business that comes from LA.
The Chargers survived just fine from 1961 through 1994 with two teams in LA. In other words, Dean is full of crap and his 30 percent does not serve the league as well as having the Rams back in LA will.Grits
His 30 percent figure certainly doesn’t come from LA.
It might come from southern Orange County and even then that 30 percent figure might be padded a little.
21DogParticipantHave you seen Sam Peckingpah’s
“The Wild Bunch”
I just saw it for the first time
yesterday — its pretty awesome.
Made in 1969 and it still holds up
in many ways.w
vSaw it in the theater shortly after it came out. Took my girl friend (now my wife of 40 yrs) to it.
Great cast and a great movie. At the time it was considered shockingly violent.
