    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.

    I 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>

    I 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.

    It’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.

    “…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.

    I 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.

    Murray 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.

    Pretty uninspiring hire by the 49ers.

    “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..
    …..

    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.

    I don’t remember whether the Rams played games in LA with the issue decided. The Raiders?

    The issue wasn’t decided officially but the writing was on the wall.

    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.
