GAME PLAN

Let's get started. I'm a die-hard Rams fan. I had season tickets both at the Coliseum and Anaheim Stadium for many years. And even photographed several games from the sidelines over the final two seasons before they moved. This blog was created after reading a newspaper column by Bill Plaschke in the Los Angeles Times Sports section (read it here) about the lack of identity for former L.A. Rams players. I decided to see how many Rams fans still have an appreciation for what the Rams meant to L.A. If you're a real fan, you've got stories to tell and opinions to share. Even if you're bitter about losing our team to St. Louis, air it out right here.

OLD SCHOOL


Happy Thanksgiving! Thoughts are turned to all the reasons to be grateful today. And then to growing up in the L.A. area, playing football in the mud as a kid on Thanksgiving Day and watching the traditional Dallas vs. Detroit game on TV. My dad took me to see the Rams play at the Coliseum when I was nine years old and I was hooked. It would have been impossible to be a fan of any other team, because my dad had been a Rams fan since before they moved to L.A. from Cleveland in 1946. As the photo of Bob Waterfield above shows, there were no face masks in those days. That’s old school!
