Well, unfortunately that comes as no surprise.

Sad end to a sad, wasted life.

My own personal feeling? …I grew up
watching the old blue-and-white Rams in LA.
The team in St.Louis wore red. And i liked the Cardinals
but they weren’t the Rams.

When i see the old Blue and White uniforms
i get the same feeling as when i open an old box
of Christmas cards that my mom has saved. Its like that.
Warm feelings. Childhood memories. Thats how i feel
when i see the blue and whites.

So, I’m glad they are returning to Los Angeles;
I KNOW now, finally, they will wear the blue and whites
from time to time. I really thought i’d never see that again.

I have so many warm and poignant memories — Jack Snow, Les Josephson,
Deacon/Merlin (thats one word btw :),
Youngbloods, George Allen, Cullen Bryant, Alvin Hammond, Bob Brown,
McCutcheon, Slater, Diron Talbot, Coy Bacon, Billy Waddy, Ferragamo’s pass, Prothro, Knox, Harold Jackson, The Vikings, Joe Kapp, The Cowboys, Staubach, The 49ers, Brodie…the St.Louis thing, just never ever felt quite right to me. Deep down it always felt a bit off….

…I know some of the St.Louis fans will stop following the team
and to state the obvious, thats fine. Everyone feels
‘connections’ to different things — some folks feel connected
to the city, some to the players, some to a coach, some to
the uniforms, etc. There’s no right or wrong to any of that,
obviously.

As for me…my own totally-subjective-irrational-feeling is…
…the Rams belong in blue and whites, in Los Angeles.
…and the red and white Cardinals belong in St.Louis.
Or maybe the Stallions belong in St.Louis. Something
belongs in St.Louis.

Georgia was a dick. Kronky is a dick. The NFL is a
soul-less-corporation. The ‘game’
and the conversation with the posters, about the game,
is still fun for me.

Back to Los Angeles. I like it. I’ll still be living out
the questions and throw’in things at the tv
in West, by god, Virginia

I sorta feel the same way you do. I like the city of St. Louis a lot and I like the fans from there that I’ve gotten to know over the years. I would have been fine with a vote that would have kept the Rams in St. Louis. But to me, LA is where the Rams belong. It has more of a connection to the deep history of the team and that’s really important to me.

Small man with big talent. I like that description. There were/are many of them through history.

Only when the big game is against the Rams.

Well the Burfict hit was just
one of those bang-bang plays. They happen,
when yer flyin around out there.

I disagree about the Burfict hit. He was head-hunting.

Fwiw, DeFilippo runs a WCO.

There was a time when that would have bugged me. Never liked that horizontal passing game featuring quick outs and shallow crossing patterns. It’s the offense that brought the ‘pick play’ to football, which by all rights should be OPI. I’ve always been a fan of the Coryell offense even before the GSOT days.

But beggars can’t be choosers. I stopped caring how the Rams win a long time ago. I just want an offense that works and if Flip is their best hope for making that happen then I say hire him.

I’m glad they played Keenum the past few games so I could see what he has to offer. Hopefully, the Rams can upgrade the QB position before next season. They’ll have some options. I’m not sure if a rookie project appeals to me at this point.

Keenum’s a gamer but he’s just not good enough. He misses on too many throws. Definitely need an upgrade at QB.

There are two scenario’s I don’t want to see. The first is that no final decision is made. The second is that the Rams move to London or Lisbon or somewhere across the sea. Canada, I could live with. Mmmmmmm Texas… well, on second thought there are three scenarios – Texas is definitely on the sd no scenario list.

If they stay in St Louis – I’m all in. If they move to Inglewood – good for me too. Just get it done already.

I feel the same way.

You know, I’m not sure CB is a position of need. Jenks and TruJo are FAs but I bet the Rams are able to resign at least one of them and between Gaines, Roberson and Joyner I think they are in good shape. I’m not saying they shouldn’t draft a CB but I’d rather use the early round picks where they are weak – like at WR where I think they need a true #1.

Personally I am glad they’re not in the playoffs.

All the tension, all the uncertainty.

I hated 99. All 99 did was delay the calm resignation that follows the last game.

I feel the same way. This season I began to question Fisher’s ability to continue that when he had the Rams at 4-3, but that 5 game losing streak erased all my fears. Now I feel foolish for ever doubting him.

I’ll admit that I’m very ignorant on the rules about relocation. I have little interest in it. But what’s to keep Kroenke from moving his team to LA regardless of the results of the vote? Didn’t Al Davis move the Raiders to LA against the league’s wishes? I would think other owners could envision themselves in a situation where they would want to move and they wouldn’t want the league to block it, so I can’t believe they would come down too hard on Kroenke if he moved without league approval.

When Dickerson was closing in on Simpson’s record the league reviewed film from that season and actually found 11 additional yards that he hadn’t been credited for and added it to his total. So they seem to like Dickerson. Maybe the NFL just doesn’t like Gurley. Why? Maybe they prefer jerry curls to dreadlocks?

I note that everyone’s picks are offensive players and they are truly offensive.

Quick is my biggest disappointment. He’s simply a waste of space. Bailey’s drug issues have also been disappointing but I rank him below Quick because at least Bailey showed he can (or at least could) play.

Cook is no longer a disappointment for me because I stopped expecting anything out of him a long time ago.

Zeurlein needs to be replaced.

I suppose i will root for Arizona

Unlike you, I won’t be rooting for anyone, Mr. Cardinals fan. But I will be rooting against some teams less than others.

In the NFC, the team I’ll be rooting against the least is Carolina.

The teams I’ll be rooting against the most are the Cardinals and Seahawks, because I’m a Rams fan and as a Rams fan I would never want something good to happen to a division rival. As a matter of fact, I would murder my first born to keep anything good from happening to either of those teams.

But that’s just how I roll because I’m a Rams fan, unlike you – an admitted Cardinals fan.

In the AFC the team I’ll be rooting against the least is the Jets, assuming they make the playoffs. The team I’ll be rooting against the most is, of course, the Pats. Because again, I’m a Rams fan. I would love to stick it to the Pats twice by having them lose in the playoffs while their hated rivals the Jets win it all.

I’ll have what he’s havin…

I like the sound of this, and agree for the most part.

Not sure about the firstborn thing, but your obvious hatred of the Patriots “warms the cockles of me ‘eart”.

I live in southern Vt and there are more Pats fans here than anything else. They’ve had more success than anyone deserves. Seeing those insufferable pinheads taken down a few pegs would be ‘wicked awesome’ as they like to say.

I suppose if you’re Michael Bennett and you’ve been rendered a nonfactor by the Rams much-maligned o-line, going after a punter might be the only way to regain your dignity.
