    I have not. If you say it’s good, I might take a chance at it. I generally don’t like any sports re-enactments. I watched a lot of the 80s Lakers live, and they were amazing, and I loved it. But I love sports. I don’t care very much for what happens behind the scenes. I don’t watch sports for that. I’d usually rather watch a thoughtful documentary. There was one I watched many years ago about Bird vs. Magic, and it traced their competition over the years, interspersed with interviews from each of them (and others), and clips from games. It was pretty good. But fictionalized shit is usually shitty. I’ll give it a shot, though, once I’m on vacation.

     

    it’s cheesy as hell…. characters talk to the camera mid sceen to help narrate the story… I like John C Reilly as Dr. Buss…..

    I really loved mid 70’s to early 90’s basketball.  Hopefully, this show will relive the era i liked so much.

    Bird vs Magic put basketball back in primetime.. i too watched that Bird vs Magic special that you mention….. THAT WAS GREAT.

    I’m a long time LA fan and observer. IMO, the Dodgers own LA. They draw even when they are terrible. There is something about the palm trees, and the beaches, and leisurely summer evenings that just loves baseball, and the Dodgers are unsinkable.

    Dodgers only draw live bodies between the 3rd and 7th innings…..

    BTW, Lakers are tied with Boston @ 17. Fuck LeBron.

    Rams traded:

    Goff + 2 first round picks + third rounder = Stafford

    (1 player + 3 picks for Stafford)

    Denver traded:

    a starting DT Shelby Harris + TE Noah Font + starting QB Drew Lock + 2 first rounders + 2 second rounders + 1 fifth rounder = Russell Wilson

    (3 players + 5 picks for Wilson)

    Team gelled  especially the new mid season additions after the 3 game skid…

    OBJ is great… played great

    Von Miller made some huge key plays late in games.

    Stafford was clutch late in games in Baltimore and Minnesota and the close playoff games.

    the Rams peaked at the right time…. Donald, Ramsey, everyone gelled…

    incredible December and playoff run…great season…

    “”””””””””With the Carson philosophy changed somewhat due to injuries in the secondary certainly, there were exceptions. One of them being the Seahawk game in week ten with the Rams set a still-standing NFL record for fewest yards allowed in a game with -7.

     

    In that game, the Rams did use a lot of pressure and blitzes (even cover-0 blitzes), more like 1978, and it worked to perfection. Steve Largent was held to two catches and Jim Zorn was kept in the pocket all day. That was a task that was given to the ends—Dryer and Youngblood. Carson thought that anytime you kept Zorn inside the pocket and not let him scramble around, buying time for the coverage to break down was to the Rams advantage. He was right. The Rams just buried the Seahawks 24-0.””””

     

    I remember reading this box score on a Monday Morning before going to class…… i couldn’t believe it…. total domination.

    I re-watched this game on youtube awhile back… Pat Haden set a consecutive pass completion record, then broke his throwing hand… Ferragamo was hurt too….  thus, Jeff Rutledge came in to close the game.

    Rams defense was awesome.

    interesting, i was thinking the same thing…

    as a fan, I think that the 2021 Rams played  a much tougher schedule and played in a much more competitive conference and division than the Rams did in 1999….

    In 1999, SF started  3-1 then lost Steve Young forever to a concussion.  One of those 3 wins that SF had was against the eventual AFC Champion Titans.

    After Young’s concussion, SF lost 12 of their next 13 games in 1999

    The NFC QB crop of starting QBs wasn’t very good in 1999 especially in the NFC West. Shaun Hill replaced Trent Dilfer at QB for the TB for the NFC Championship where the Rams barely won at home….

    The 2021 Rams had to play an extra regular season game….they had to play an extra playoff game, and had to knock off Tom Brady and his reigning Bucs team on the road…

    The 2021 Rams were an annual playoff team, thus they had teams targeting them throughout the regular season…. The 1999 surprised everyone outside of STL

    Once teams knew how formidable the Rams were in 2000, they  6 of their last 11 games…

    Both were very good teams, but I think 2021 faced much stiffer competition than the 1999 Rams did.

    Faulk was better than anyone.

    As great as Bruce and Holt were,  Cooper Kupp, OBJ, Woods, are pretty good.

    I agree with you on defense and ST, i think 2021 is better.

    I think i’d pick McVay over Vermeil, mainly because McVay has consistently lost coaching staff that he developed, where Vermeil’s assistants were very very good with a ton of NFL experience that he picked.

    GO RAMS!!!!

    SoFi Stadium assault suspect released on bail, mayor says | KRON4

    SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The man believed to have fought with a 49ers fan at SoFi Stadium turned himself in to police, our sister station KTLA originally confirmed.

    He was arrested, but has since made bail, Inglewood Mayor James Butts tells KRON4.

    The 49ers fan, 40-year-old Daniel Luna, is an Oakland restaurant owner and remains in a medically-induced coma. No further information was revealed about the assault suspect.

    The fight happened during the NFC Championship game in Los Angeles, where the 49ers were up against the Rams. The altercation between Luna and the other person lasted less than five seconds, Butts said in a press conference Thursday.

    Officials had blurry video of the fight, and Butts originally said it appeared Luna pushed a man in a Rams jersey in the parking lot of SoFi Stadium. Then, the man pushed back, which resulted in Luna falling and hitting his head.

    Mayor Butts has since retracted the part about what the suspect was wearing, telling KRON4 that he is embarrassed that he accidentally said the suspect was wearing a Rams jersey in the video, when in fact he meant to say he was wearing a red jersey. Luna and the suspect were recorded in a Niners tailgate area.

    Luna was found laying in the parking lot, bloody and with all his personal items still on him, about half an hour into the game

    SoFi Stadium released a statement saying, “We are aware and saddened by the incident. Our thoughts are with Mr. Luna’s friends and family during this difficult time. We are working with law enforcement officials in their investigation.”

    He is a chef and owner of Mistura, a Peruvian rotisserie on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland.

    This story will be updated.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    i tried to post a current article on this, but for some reason many of my posts constantly require moderation prior to being viewable on this board.

    summary of the current article that I tried to post

    the suspect who knocked out Daniel Luna turned himself in and released on bail.

    Rams fan story is alignment with the video. Daniel Luna pushed the suspect in the back before being struck in the face, thus knocking Luna to the ground.

    So, does McVay go for the win with 35 seconds to play, with Jarod Goff?

    I dunno, but even if he does, I doubt Goff throws it to the guy on the “for the love of the game” route. You know that guy who threw deep into double and triple coverage and got picked off earlier this season? That’s the guy who made the biggest throw for the Rams since Warner to Bruce in XXIV.

    did McVay attempt a pass in the closing minutes of regulation to move the chains against SF in the final week of regular season to seal the game, or was he afraid of another Stafford pick 6?

    I think you folks tend to forget the big throws Goff has made in his career with the Rams….. dimes… in stride….

    “””””Whatever.

    The game is decided on the field, not in the stands, regardless of what fans think.””””

    I totally agree…..

    spendable income in the SF Bay Area in the highest in the state and in some cases in the country.

    (3 of the top 10 counties in the USA with the largest household income is in the SF bay area)

    (12 of the top 15 counties in California with the largest household income is in No Cal)

    The highest bidders for tickets is in the SF Bay Area and No Cal. They can afford to pay inflated prices and hop on a plane to attend games.

    Loyalty only goes so far when you make a profit of up to $4,000.

    In addition, i think many Rams season tickets are purchased by brokers, or casual football fans, not die hard Ram fans.

    For example, my brother is a lifelong Dodger fan, but he has had season tix to the SF Giants baseball team since the ball park was built in 2000….  He makes a fortune selling reselling tix to high rollers.. especially when the Giants make the playoffs.

    BTW I read somewhere (or heard) that there has never been an entire playoff season that had 4 games end on the last play. Last weekend, all 4 did. Also, got to thinking how much this game must have hurt Bucs fans. You know, when your team is losing the entire game, you start to reconcile yourself to the defeat well before it is over. To go through what they did – reconciling themselves to defeat – only to have actual real life hope that they would win after all – only to have it ripped away from them…man. Bucs fans have to hate that. And any of them as old as we are that saw 70 and 99 and 22…they must not like the Rams a lot.

    Last Sunday the Rams  and Stafford did what Tom Brady and the Patriots did to the Rams in Super Bowl 36.

    Stafford won some huge road games late this season in Minnesota and Baltimore… not many Ram QB’s have done that since 1969, if ever.

    Overall, Stafford reminds me of Jim Everett… hopefully with a different result in the NFC Championship vs SF……
